Slowly, then suddenly we observe the destruction of America. The collapse of civil rights, a bedrock of our Constitution, gives way to immigration enforcement. Not mentioned, the recent E.O. allowing involuntary “civil committment” of vagrants (the homeless) to institutions—detention centers. Whatever good Scott-Warren may have engineered is offset by cuts in HUD and this E.O. Our environmental laws? I look forward to the evening glow of the Cuyahoga River in flames again after so long. Emil Bove confirmed to the Federal bench. Wow. In the meantime, DoJ files misconduct charges against Judge Boasberg by him—wait for it—standing up for Constitutional enshrined due process. In the GOP, the band plays on.
It's a wild, dangerous ride these politicians are taking us on in the name of trying to save us. Boot 'em all out. Even the good ones are suspect in these treacherous times. Our country is on a downward spiral and those of us with good sense, strong ethical beliefs, and focus must remain ready to catch it when it falls. RESIST!
Did you know that Trump's children, MAGA children, GOP children and the grandchildren of all of them breathe different air and drink different water and eat different food than all other children and grandchildren in the US? So do the children and grandchildren of the fossil fuel industries. That's why regulating tailpipe emissions is not necessary.
I thought Tillis was showing some backbone when he voted against the Big Ugly Bill, citing his concerns for his constituents, of which I am one of, and then he does something so stupid that defies common sense by voting yes for Bove. I know all of these “yes” senators (and house reps enjoying their extend vacation) will one day realize their political legacy will forever be smirched and smelly in the history books.
Thank you for making what’s real - well, real. And digestible. It’s horrifying to see America dismantled and destroyed for all but billionaires and sadists. Evil, delusion and decay are now so normalized even the “opposition” seems frozen, and it’s only August of the first term. The fight must continue nonetheless, yet it’s still hard to know what to do.

Thank you, Mary Geddry, for your reports on our “civilized” world. 😳. Keep writing and sharing!
Great post. Honestly, my blood pressure went up after learning about the latest proposed EPA deregulations:
