Thanks! Again and always for a great synopsis of our current status.

Please consider talking about Article II, section 4 of the constitution which rids us of the current whole executive branch…., prez, VP and cabinet, ….instead of amendment 25, which only gets rid of the prez. People need to know the difference

Wow, Article 2 Section 4 is perfect! Dems just need to get control of the House and Senate in the fall and have the plan ready to go. I'll repeat ... have the plan ready to go! Jamie Raskin could be the right person for getting the plan ready.

"It was just a joke" is the excuse my teenaged son used to use when he was busted for saying or doing something stupid.

Speaking as a Canadian here, and a Canadian Cascadian. There is still hope. We still love so very, very many of you. We are staying away right now, but we are sure hoping that can change. Family is like that.

Thank you Harold. Keep shining your light.

Your elegant words leap from the page to enlighten me. Thank you.

Good to finally see mention of obscene "extra" profits by fossil fuel companies. Ufda

Donald Trump -- the world’s greatest dealmaker—just ask him, has now expanded into religion. First, he lectures the Pope on how to do Christianity; then he posts Himself reimagined as Jesus Christ. At that point, you’re just watching delusion negotiate with itself.

"Donate to my campaign and I'll make it worth your while." Remember that? Really the only campaign promise kept. I was eating my lunch while reading this newsletter and I had to stop because I was sick to my stomach as I read about the windfall to oil companies so far thanks to Gassolini's war. You know, the little excursion which has now become an international conflict with China unabashedly aiding Iran with Intel systems. Thank you Mary, for sussing out these hidden details.

Now and forever more, the Yale yokel, jd vance will be know as the smuggest little janitor in the WH for mansplaining the vile imagery created by his puppeteer. Thanks for the chuckle.

"The hubris would be astonishing if it were not so routine. The incompetence would be funny if it were not so expensive, and the cruelty would be unbelievable if they had not spent years (telling us) exactly who they are." Why didn't we believe it? Because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman of color.

Keep those seatbelts fastened, friends. It's going to get worse. Mary, Marz's mom, thanks for guiding us through it.

It’s quite amazing how you can do this truth telling day after day.

Sadly funny ..irony I guess?

And still they get away with it.

Eisenhower was so on point ‘watching out for the military complex’. And America has done this for years some of the worst undercover ops just being uncovered..

I do understand the need to keep people safe (especially children) but building bombs, then bigger bombs is obviously not the answer, nor is lying.

We and other countries have all the different departments to try to keep ‘the bad guys’ in check…

I really laughed- a TV episode’s segment last night- that talked about “double agents”…when know thyself’s current modeling in far too many countries is finger pointing blame vs the mirrored image.

Thank you, Mary.

MIDTERMS MUST PREVAIL!

Thank you for your wise synopsis, Mary. Although you mention Netanyahu, isn't he just as complicit? Shouldn't there be more said about him? And, of course, Putin. What a horrible threesome!

This on Tax Day makes the words even more vile as they so correctly describe trump and his administration. My tax dollars, of which there were many due to capital gains, were ill spent on wars, support to Israel, flying around the world for golf, building new structures at the People's House without consent along with financing the building of cages to host brutal fights for the entertainmenCt of the king and his cohorts. Oh, your words hit right where they should have and surely we will be delivered from this monstrous wrecking crew currently in office soon. Can someone just say "NO"!
