At 3:50 p.m. today, the President of the United States suddenly reappeared after not being seen at any public events since his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center over a week ago. With bad news mounting all around him and questions surrounding his declining health growing louder by the day, Donald Trump was forced to make an appearance. And for 43 minutes, Trump and his enablers attempted to present a powerful, in-control leader. But all the world saw was a paranoid man praising an authoritarian leader as "a friend of mine, a good man," attacking a journalist as "a young, beautiful woman who never smiles" with "hatred in her eyes," and desperately trying to maintain the illusion that everything was under control.
Another independent news outlet worthy of your support is The Guardian which, I believe is widely read in the US in its digital edition. Its unique ownership structure (it is a Trust), means it will never be influenced by billionaire owners, corporate takeovers or political pressures. This structure ensures editorial independence and that profits are reinvested into journalism rather than distributed to shareholders.
Unlike competitors with strict paywalls, The Guardian keeps its online journalism free to read and asks users to financially support its mission voluntarily.
How ridiculous, weak and stupid all those sycophants appear. Let's keep these propaganda pictures for later. When they'll be brought to justice and say they never knew von trump. Lol
God bless you Heather Delaney Reese and God bless you Kaitlyn Collins.
Two very strong women who are calling him out on his bullshit, unafraid of the consequences, and who are helping us hold on to our democracy by a thread (for now). And hopefully hastening his exit from a job he NEVER should’ve had.
Not in 2016.
Not in 2020 - when he lost AGAIN.
And certainly not in 2024, when he had already become a convict 34 times over and an adjudicated rapist.
Sadly, neither Kaitlyn Collins nor any other reporter in the room called him out on it. They shrugged. Just another day at work. This cannot be normalized! Thanks to Heather and many Indepent journalists for doing what mainstream media fails over and over to do.
There are so many excellent points and statements of fact, across so many important issues and areas, that you highlight with such pure, unemotional journalistic emphasis , I am speechless. You say it all for what our people who live in the United States need to hear. Many Thanks and Please continue your brilliant analyses that are always focused on what we need to know to help our America be the America that the Founders intended and that all of our citizens believe in. I am so grateful for your courageous effort to help fix what has gone so terribly wrong.
Thank you Heather. Yesterday it seemed either the “B or C” listers were gathered around in the golden-laden Oval. Not behind but off to the side. Only recognized Rodney Scott, and then Peter Navarro. Rodney Scott is leading the US Customs Border Protection, after Peter Flores stepped down using the excuse of spending more time with family. As for Peter Navarro he now serves as the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing. Navarro is a central voice in pushing forward this regimes aggressive tariff agendas.. Of course the Felon has formally appealed the lower court order dictating how the refunds must be paid after SCOTUS said those tariffs needed to be paid back.
It’s always about “size” with this Felon or “it’s never been done or seen before”.. continually. A never ending way in which it fulfills his grandiose thought process for himself…
Friends who live near DC and still work in the government as civil servants say that DC is becoming such a dystopian world with banners of him all around and all the hoopla going on for this birthday bash of his, as well as all the construction projects taking place that apparently have these signs with his image that have “Thank You President Trump” everywhere. They are close to retirement and have been keeping their heads down and no longer go out in DC for dinner or the theatre. As they put it, “it’s like seeing Berlin Germany when Hitler had so much power, it’s quite revolting”
Heather Delaney Reese has really got a pair! I love this young lady! I wish I could tell her about the phone call I had with Bill “Pussy” Pulte back in about 2002 when I had the misfortune of buying a fuckin’ goddamn Pulte home in Castle Rock Colorado. It was a lot worse than the conversation he had with Scott Bessent, by a lot!
Thank you Heather for all your hard work and persistence in being able to convey the autocratization that Trump and his loyalists currently are carrying out everyday step by step in your beloved America.
“We don’t know what triggers it.” Word on the street says the trigger is a diaper-filling in progress. Sorry to bring it up, but it had to be said. It’s not the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last.
I hear the “merch gift shop” just adjacent to the bordello office sells rolls of toilet paper with the constitution written on it. This might as well be true as this is literally what has happened.
The always silent Greek chorus is noticeably smaller in your top photo, and of lesser celebrity (no cabinet member?). Also, they’re “not standing behind him as previously observed. Hmmm.
I'm waiting here in Canada for Trump to start complaining of our CBC News coverage of him, and starts requiring changes as a condition in tarrif negotiations.
Absolutely give and share whatever wherever you can to keep the independent truth tellers going.
He is going to continue to do everything he can to feed us nothing but bullshit and his wealthy sycophants will be sure to try to silence whatever they can. We can’t stop that but we can fight it.
Don’t support any business or corporation that sponsor CBS shows..don’t watch the channel anymore. That’s tough but their ratings need to tank and Ellison needs to lose money dramatically. That message will get to him more than any other.
If we do lose CNN…encourage all their staff through emails..phone calls or texts to join the independents..maybe even start their own network where the truth is the message not the media anymore. Remember Ted Turner did it so can someone else.
I feel sure that the Scott Pelleys, the John Dickersons, the Stephen Colberts..etc are not going to go on permanent vacations..they will re-emerge in some form and when they do…support them as best you can and encourage sponsors.
Consider this an absolutely necessary contribution to the future of your children…grandchildren and our democracy just as Thomas Paine..Thomas Jefferson..Benjamin Franklin..John Adams..George Washington all those men in Philadelphia 250 years ago who wrote and fought did everything they could to create this country for us ..we must now do.
This man is failing but they have backups…he’s becoming simply a figurehead and when he finally cracks they won’t care because they will have put all the finishing touches on their plan and another version of him will appear to headline it.
We cannot let them get that far..they must be stopped …our united voices and staunch determination can make that happen…BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR.
How anyone continues to support this regime is beyond me. Thank you so much for keeping us up to date on all that is happening. I hope that four Republicans finally finding their backbones and actually doing their jobs turns into many, many more. It's way past time.

I agree, I read the Guardian too, although I contribute a small amount every month. If you can afford to do it helps. It’s a resource we need.
Same here—I subscribe and donate every month. Well worth the money.
Yes, I am a paid subscriber to The Guardian. It is very high quality.
Good to know, thank you!

It’s gotta stop. Before this year is over.
God willing.

That is revolting, yes - and very sad. The District, and by extension, all of America, has been stolen and vandalized by a criminal gang.

It’s because of his fecal incontinence. For real. They had to clear the room.
Shitgibbon comes to mind.
Thank you for your continued dedication Heather…
To be honest, the current State of the Union is ridiculously mind numbing, breathtakingly sad and obscenely other worldly…
It’s difficult to read about it, yet alone expertly write about it, so your efforts are greatly appreciated 🙏
Thank you, Heather, for bringing truth every day. I can’t imagine the cost to you, but please know you’re a hero to so many around the world.
I'm waiting here in Canada for Trump to start complaining of our CBC News coverage of him, and starts requiring changes as a condition in tarrif negotiations.
Trump is the most insecure, low self esteem person on the face of the earth! Karma will come to him and all of his syncophants!
