I'll be rooting for the Dodgers, my hometown team. But rather than see them win the World Series I'd like to see this.

If Milley and those like him would pull together a coalition of people current & former, from the Executive, Congress, Judiciary, DOJ, Lawyers, Military, Clandestine Ops, Governors, FBI, State & Local Police Corporate Leaders who are still loyal to The Constitution and our Republic. And lead them into action to crush this shit.

Good morning to you Steve. A lot has happened last week!

Thank you for all you do.

I'm I passed on to others that the building to be built in Idaho was a facility to teach pilots to fly the jets. I was not sure πŸ€” f they were A15 or F15.

But Aaron Parnas made his correction on his Podcast and I saw that Hegseth made his too.

You are so right on target with all your reporting to us! But you should know that . Even the guests you coordinate with are interesting. Thanks!!πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’™

Trump's increasingly cruel and divisive agenda is working against him. My local paper has had very, very few letters supportive of Trump and an increasing number of letters critical of him and MAGA. If the protests next Saturday have huge turnouts, it may finally dawn on Republican legislators that support of Trump is hurting them. A sweeping victory by Democratic candidates in the next congressional elections is the most likely and peaceful way to begin shaking off the grip that Trump, MAGA, and Christian fascism have on our nation.

Cheeto: Americans Second….Billionaires and Investors First

Scott Bessent was a fairly average hedge fund manager before he became Cheeto’s treasury secretary, was heavily involved with Argentinian companies and his friends would profit with good news Enter Cheeto’s corruption once again bailing out the Argentinian government to the tune of a $20B loan Of note is that Argentina has defaulted 9 times in the past on loans So Cheeto just gave $20B in taxpayer dollars in a shady loan deal

This is on top of Argentina selling soybeans to China because American soybeans farmers have lost that market because of Cheeto’s tariff policies Will American farmers decide that a vote for the Nazis in the 2026 midterms is a bad idea?

Americans second…..Cheeto has decided to not give government employees back pay after the government shutdown Cheeto and his Nazi allies in Congress don’t give a shit about Americans….only billionaires The Nazi arrogance is astounding

Good morning Steve, I ordered your T-shirt with FDR's 4 freedoms last week and I'm anxiously waiting for its arrival. I will wear it during the Oct. 18 protest here in Washington. If you happen to come back to DC to protest, please let us know. Would love to see you there.

Many, many people on various Substacks have expressed concern and fear about coming out in public on the 18th. I understand their concerns, but I will not let that traitorous, lawless, worst excuse for a human being to ever occupy WH (and his ilk) to intimidate me. And I'm older and can't run very fast. But there's power in numbers and there are more of US than there are of them.

The folks in DC always hand out brochures at several Metro sites, etc., reminding us of our rights when protesting and what to do if we, God forbid, get arrested. I have lived in the WDC area for more than 45+ years, attending undergrad and grad at GW, and I have never, ever once been concerned about my safety during the many protests I have attended over the years. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned this time, but it won't stop me. I won't do anything foolish. But Tish James' words keep going over and over in my head -- "I"m not fearful. I am fearless."

Trump has withdrawn or cancelled, or is planning to withdraw or cancel, funding for projects (etc) in Blue States, funding previously passed into law by Congress. Trump is doing this to punish Blue States. Convicted Felon Trump’s actions are illegal.

Are we at the point where Governors of Blue States should tell citizens of their States to discontinue paying Federal Income Taxes to the US Government, and, instead pay their Federal Income Taxes directly to their State Governments?

Re baseball: If I were to pay attention, I would root for the Dodgers, my hometown team. In the 90’s, I was at a Dodgers game against the Toronto Blue Jays. I had fantastic dugout box seats behind home plate courtesy of my mom’s office. Most boring game ever, I thought. 2 up, 2 down, 2 up, 2 down. At the end of the game the Blue Jays swarmed their pitcher. Even die-hard Dodger fans were cheering. I asked my companions what was going on. Apparently, I had just witnessed the first no-hitter pitched against the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium!

Staying in Toronto for a month from Washington state. Adopting the Jays! Was privileged to get a ticket to Game 2 against the Yankees. Aside from the amazing game, the highlight for me was when the Mounties presented the flags, the crowd politely applied the Star Spangled Banner and, THEN, 45,000 people proudly, loudly and joyfully belted out O Canada! Brought tears to my eyes … so wishing for what we Americans once had!
