From suing the press into silence to JD Vance’s purge threats, UnitedHealthcare’s retaliation, Venezuela boat strikes, Epstein banners in the UK, and jobs up in smoke, America 2025 is a circus
My head is spinning, trying to watch all the rings in this circus, and Rump is the clown from “IT”, coming up from the sewers and scaring the shit out of us. 😳😳😳
So many emotions flow within in before and after reading your morning words. I am mourning the past years when I was upset and angered by the actions of politicians which now, upon reflection, seem to have been the golden years . I may have been disappointed in a ruling, but not fearful that my descent and those of others would be severely punished. The attacks upon the fishing boats and Venezuela are but veiled and not so veiled threats to Maduro and his government. So here we go again, attempting regime change in a country that is not ours. Innocent lives snuffed out without so much as an attempt to discover their mission. What a sad coverup. We need a regime change here! Is anyone up for the challenge?
Welcome to the three-ring circus called USA. In the center ring, we have the world-renowned Master of Ceremonies, Donald Trump, with his ever-popular "I'm Suing You" tantrum. In ring two we have the Just Dance Vance and Steven Miller duo performing their newest hit, "Agree with the White House or Else." Finally, in ring three we have the three-ring DOJ-ICE-FBI circus within a circus performing their astounding "The US Constitution Means Nothing to Us" acrobatic act featuring Bondi, Noem, and Patel.

I guess the First Amendment is a bridge too far in MAGA world.
Attacking the New York Times seems a bid to overturn the key Supreme Court ruling protecting the rights of a free press to criticize public figures - New York Times vs. Sullivan.
The Trump regime and its adherents are acting to punish critics of Charlie Kirk. Kirk might have built his brand debating opponents (admirable), but he cherry picked Bible verses to defend a divisive version of Christianity and suggested racist, antisemitic and misogynistic stereotypes. His murder is an abomination, and the First Amendment also protects even despicable responses to it.
Brilliant as always. Husband who is fed up with Trump on European TV already and wants none of it laughed when I read parts of your newsletter to him. As an aside Trump is already spouting trillions of numbers and claiming all violence comes from the left. PS Melania looks like she has no knowledge of how First Ladies are supposed to dress! A full length trench coat and a ponytail are not exactly eye catching.
Mary’s precision skill nail-on-the-head humor is POLISHED ! Does the EV stand for “Ever Vanished” perchance, folks?
Writing with this eloquence of “How ta go, Genius!” rules the roost!
I am so blessed -despite being threatened ya know I’m just one of those “Old Hippies” that’s under a lot of some people’s skin..apparently.
Tsk Tsk
I’m going back to finishing your letter Mary…just didn’t want to forget this comment ..you’re an inspiration…

Maybe with the lawsuit Trump hopes to make the trial into another reality TV show: "This Is Your Life."

If Trump doesn't like to be compared to Hitler, he should stop acting like Hitler...
