Perhaps it's time for former presidents and vice presidents to step out of the shadows and demand a end to this illegality and cruelty, and the Constitution being torn to shreds. Someone with influence has to make a start before America dies.

Absolutely 💯 I’d love to see a hard-hitting PSA with Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Mike Pence and Hillary Clinton reciting the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Maybe they could sit around a kitchen table and have a conversation where all of us could tune in.

Always valuable info from you. Please keep ringing alarm bells. I feel like more people are incensed by the machinations, (not following laws but making their own) of hacks, buttki$$ers. Also think more voters revile trump gang. He's sinking into dementia so fast that toadies are fighting not to MAGA, but TADA, take America Down Again, so TA DA bubye to the crew drowning in their own $#!+! WE can't won't let that happen. #25Amendment, #Impeach&remove, start before 2026!

Agreed. It shouldn’t be this difficult to find people who will stand up for this country. I’d say every one of the Congress members owe US that much, considering we pay for their salary & awesome healthcare benefits! 😑

Absolutely love this. This may be the best written piece I’ve read on Substack. Well done.

Government service was never intended to be a lifelong career nor a money-grifting operation. We have to change nominating and primary functions so we have candidates we want to vote for - not candidates of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for the wealthy. Income inequality is killing our democracy - and that's by design. The more average persons lose trust in the government and decide to drop out of the election process, the easier it is to maintain the status quo. Participation rates in state and local elections are often in low double and single digits, incumbents are re-elected and the band plays on. Change runs through rural areas with grass roots activism - lets unite our community members, defend our democracy and effect change. I just joined as a paid subscriber for ideas, support and community input. We need to start now for '26 and '28.

Once again, HST would be so fucking proud! Call it OUT!! Former Kentuckian here as well. (Some of us revere our HST or even fucking know who he is/was.) I have been voting against the SOB Moscow Mitch McConnell for damn decades. Sen. Rand Paul is a HARD hell no too. (Duplicitous little sh_t.) That's it, the entire Senatorial vote from the state of Kentucky for years. SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED, GOP Thomas Massie is leading the Congressional voices for the release of the Epstein files. All props to him and whatever phase he is in.
