Trump promises Iran a “beating” while assuring us the talks will continue. Oil is near $90, Saudi Arabia is bombing Iraq, Iran is firing toward Jordan, and Gulf governments are building around Washington’s chaos. #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump answered a protester shouting “pedophile protector” by calling him a communist. That non sequitur led me through Roy Cohn, McCarthyism and Trump’s new political taxonomy: every failure has one enemy; every success has one author. #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

AI war fantasies, hidden casualty ledgers, Trump and Netanyahu performing an alliance that may no longer exist, Republicans trying to disqualify #climate science and a planet that keeps presenting the evidence anyway. ##uspolitics #iranwar open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump promised infinite ammunition. He forgot America had a finite number of shields. #uspolitics #iranwar #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#DJT bombed at the #WHCD in a TRUMP 2028 cap, threatening Iran and turning a nuclear announcement into grievances about lettuce, windmills and people who do not like him. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump says his new tariffs protect workers from forced labor. His own administration has weakened protections for farmworkers, tolerated coerced prison labor, and rebuilt the tariff wall the courts rejected. #uspolitics #tariffs #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump makes mockery of dignified transfer. The House voted to end the unauthorized conflict, the Senate blocked debate, Congress prepared billions more to sustain it and oil crossed $100. #uspolitics #iranwar #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s real innovation isn’t merely telling lies. It’s making them arrive wearing the government’s credentials. Days later, Trump's false claims resurfaced at a rural county meeting as established fact. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Four months after #PeteHegseth declared “every single objective” achieved, Iran is still firing, two shipping chokepoints are under threat, American troops are still dying and the #Pentagon wants another $67 billion. #uspolitics #authoritarianism #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

SpaceX tied part of #ElonMusk’s compensation to establishing a permanent colony of one million people on Mars. Not in a speech, in an #SEC filing. How science fiction became corporate machinery, present-day wealth, and a public-market stress test. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s first “Liberation Day” helped drive farm customers to Brazil, raise costs and create another tariff emergency. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism #tariffs #iranwar open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump borrowed Spain’s World Cup celebration, declared Iran nearly destroyed while the Pentagon concealed attacks and injuries. Canada’s taxable smoke and the Qatari jet that needs to be “maxed out.” #uspolitics #kakistocracy #iranwar #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Two U.S. soldiers are dead, another is missing, a ceasefire has collapsed, and Trump’s escalation. A peeling pool, imaginary trillions and war show the danger of a #POTUS who cannot admit failure and a #Congress still refusing to stop him. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump blamed #Canada for #wildfire smoke, threatened #tariffs and amplified Tim Sheehy, a senator financially tied to aerial firefighting who once tried to eliminate inspections that found a cracked wing on his former company’s plane. #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump used prime time to manufacture an election emergency while the real one spread across the Gulf. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism #iranwar open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

#Trump began the week with an invisible gash in the Reflecting Pool and ended it with an invisible stolen election. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism #elections open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump wants prime time for another “very big” election revelation. Most major networks remain uncommitted and viewers should hesitate, too. #uspolitics #kayfabe #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Nearly $40 trillion in public debt. At least $782 million gathered around Trump’s private political empire. Taxpayers get the interest, tariffs, disaster costs. Corporate donors get the ballroom, library and a seat near the president. #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Two unarmed men dead, killed by #ICE #DHS briefly paused the stops. Trump ordered them resumed. Plus: E. Jean Carroll collects $5.625M, and a judge dismantles Trump’s deal with his own government. #uspolitics #kaistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump’s foreign policy in three words: #Venezuela as an asset, Iraq as an oil deal, Iran as a target and a #USStateDepartment used for patronage and coercion. Oil is protected. Sovereignty is negotiable. #uspolitics #iranwar #kakistocracy #authoritarianism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...
