I've been ruminating on the value that Trump has brought to his voters (not backers--I think they're getting theirs!). Where have all the savings from grift and fraud gone after the DOGE debacle? Where did all the oil money go from Venezuela? From any of the seized tankers? From decimated aid programs? WHO memberships? Paris accords? Voice of America? Grant monies? What did he promise voters, and what have they gotten? That might be more than one question, I guess. =)
tracing funds would be valuable. Countries paid to get onto the Board of Peace - but paid whom, and where is the dough? Big companies paid to subsidize the construction of the White House ballroom - who, how much, where is the money? Big law firms promised millions of dollars' worth of pro bono legal services - have any been performed? By whom and for whom, for what value? (The grift goes on ...)
Thank YOU! As a paid subscriber, I already do feel that I'm getting my money's worth. Thank you for asking all of us about our concerns. My two main ones are ICE'ssdism, and the shameful gutting of U.S.AID. I'd like nitty-gritty info on how immigration laws changed suddenly, turning immigrants who were "following all the rules" into "criminals". I'd also like to hear how Musk's "wood-chipper, hahaha" debacle has actually affected people.
Can you take a look at the Religious Liberty Commission report and its implications and the short time frame for commenting? Comments due July 12, not widely disseminated info about this.
I don't think the environmental destruction is understood because of all the "Climate change is a hoax" propaganda. I live on LI and have for over 60 years I am watching our favorite lakes and ponds become toxic bodies of water that can no longer be enjoyed.
First, as a paying subdcriber, I have never felt let down or neglected. Your (both of you!) work is insightful and reliable. Superb job! (I also have two geddry Make America Sane Again mugs, lol...)
Second, while Trump remains the biggest national and international story, I haven't been hearing much about where the Epstein files stand. What's the latest on then?
Last but not least, two comments: I think the American State Fair (omitting "Great," a word Trump has ruined) was a great idea with a lot of potential. Too bad they let Trump trash it.
Also, I am convinced Alito and Thomas will retire after the midters and before the new electees are seated. I think the reasons are obvious.
Good luck with this new venture, G & H! I'm in your corner. 👍
I love the essays from both of you which I find excellent, well-cited, sometimes humorous, and sometimes hopeful. I have passed you essays along on Facebook and recommended you to people on Heather Cox Richardson's letter. I have also passed on at least one to a personal friend. I welcome whatever more you have in mind.
Is this where we leave the questions?

he has off shore accounts!
I happen to be interested solely in Mary's writing, which I find truly brilliant.

Ignore the typos - bad eye day. 🙄

The new effort sounds great. Will look forward to it.
