Early this afternoon, the President of the United States gave an unscheduled and deeply troubling phone interview to NBC's Chief White House Correspondent, Kristen Welker, while he was spending time at his weekend retreat and private club, Mar-a-Lago. During this nearly 30-minute interview, he shocked world leaders and everyday Americans alike by saying he might bomb Kharg Island again "for fun." When asked about U.S. strikes on the island, Iran's most critical oil hub, his reply was, "We totally demolished Kharg Island, but we may hit it a few more times, just for fun." This is the real Donald J. Trump. The man who...
There must be some grown ups out there who can stand up to these bully boys. Trump is ill and pathetic but the rest are plain dangerous. Where are people who should be standing up to Hegseth and Stephen Miller and Bondi.
Where are the good guys because right now USA seems to be more Wild West than grown up modern day functioning country.
I don’t know what your traditions are in America but here in Britain is Mothering Sunday where people leaving church are often given a small posy of spring flowers to celebrate the day and children take their mums to a pub for lunch. Basically it should be a day of great joy and peace yet all we hear on the news is alarm and destruction in and around Iran and the Arab states and the possibility of violent protests here and it’s all down to your nut job of a president. what about peace on Earth and goodwill to all men shouldn’t this be the rallying cry of your Christian nationalists? Oh no, I forgot it’s rain hell on Iran and kill all their men and children and women and let’s have a lot of fun doing it.
Will the history books reveal that during this past decade it would have taken only a few republicans to follow their oath to the constitution and laws and could have prevented this American tragedy.
Mitch McConnell were looking at you. All you had to do was whip votes in the senate that you controlled and convict trump and he’d have been gone. But your lazy ass said, “Let the Dems do it!” So fuck you all the way down Mitch. I think you’ll find,you arrogant asshole, that karma’s one hell of a bitch!
I can hear the dread in your voice, but it is matched by the dread of the G7 nations who concluded yesterday, after a telephone meeting with Tdump. That he is a deranged lunatic! We know that, but coming from them is a big deal. He and is regime are out of control and shitting their pants, (Tdump more than usual). I echo your call to support the free press, share, restack and communicate. We see what is happening from abroad and will not support Tdump’s fake war of self preservation. No Kings march has to be HUGE!!!
I write to my representatives three times a week . My last email to Schumer and Gillebrand was FUCKING DO SOMETHING signed every sane American left . My emails started out calm and polite but have evolved into my outright fear and anger that Dems aren't screaming from the rooftops that this evil must stop . Grow a pair Schumer and start reading the unredacted Epstein files out loud on the floor, I hear other countries have the files . Once again long after I'm gone they will find that the puppet master Putin had a hand in all of this too and that's what he has on 47. Our country is being run by the worst of the worst! Daily articles from the two Heathers are my life line .
Me Too Me Too Me Too!!!!! I am so angry and upset I could scream to the highest mountain top! We should force all children of congress to go to Iran with their boots on the ground. See how fast it would stop!
And each day I think we get closer and closer to an Article 25 situation. Where are the grownups in the room? Thank you to you and all the other independents out there. Keep up the good fight.
While momentum is a powerful force (the Republican long game - Corp. takeover began in 1971 with the Powell Memo - is now in clear focus), it can be redirected if enough thinking people take direct and economic action. What am I doing?
1. Supporting 7 different independent journalists doing the necessary hard work (like this one)
2. Cancelled Amazon - not one penny, nickel or dime of my money goes to J. Bezos
3. Will not "Agree to Disagree" - Joe Friday style - just the facts (not opinion as facts)
4. Supporting select Democratic House candidates with backbone and resolve
5. Will not hire anyone who professes support for the Trump regime
6. Reject the true religion of the U.S.: "Consumerism"
This entire administration is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER….we must fight them every step of the way. They must be continually exposed for the true dangers they pose..we must keep the Republic as Franklin warned..Post and repost all articles like this..all voices from independent journalists..resist those that are controlled by his billionaire boys club and form independent networks with the very people he bragged about destroying. A network of voices like Dickerson and Todd and Acosta and Colbert and all that have and are brave enough to speak truth to power and FIGHT BACK…let’s get LOUD…it’s our only choice..perhaps our only CHANCE.
Unfortunately he can have it both ways. Congressional republicans are cowardly falling in line behind every awful thing he says or implements. My biggest concern is that the Oligarch Tech leaders all support his war on our country and they have the ability to rig the election through their technology companies.
Thank you for this & all your wonderful articles..I depend solely on Independent news like this as I quit watching TV news right after the election..what scares me is that there are so many people in the US that believe this Administration’s “lies”….it’s a “cult”…how do we break through to them???? The Democrats have a chance to win back some control in the midterms..but they also need to have a unified message & get it out there!!!!!
Thank you Heather. I’m freaking out too. Is there such a thing as weeping rage? Was it Peter Zenger who was initially silenced or threatened for being critical of power back when? Now how do we get back to a world more balanced? Sorry. Nothing but questions this morning. I guess what I mean is thank you for the warning, the urging, the commitment , the resistance, the force and the fiercefullness of your writing.😊
I loved watching CBS Sunday Morning; I haven’t watched it in a long time, perhaps one year at this point. I did not watch the Super Bowl, I will not watch the Masters. My subscription to the Washington Post was up for renewal in Dec 2024, I did not renew it. I also stopped Amazon and wow, I really miss Amazon, but my stopping using it is now only a minor inconvenience. We, the people, can protest every day, as well as on the National protest days. Try it, you’ll get used to it and maybe the advertisers will take notice. Maybe the corporate Trump enablers will notice too. Trust me, you will not be worse off.

A few more 'good guys' like Heather would do it , She is one of the grown-ups and we need many more, please support to your max.
Totally agree. So impressed with Heather. She has become my daily news.
You are all having a rotten time - stay strong.

No Kings rallies are not enough. They’re being ignored. What we need is a sustained general strike to hurt them economically. What are we waiting for?
And we need a tax strike. We need to stop funding the madness and the corrupt spinelessness in congress.

Good for you. Every little, or big, bit makes a difference. 🇨🇦

Unbelievable opinions of the president. High time to invoke the 25th amendment!
We cannot be headed by a lunatic and let him destroy our country and the world. Congress, do your work now!
Are we headed toward a civil war red versus blue? It never ceases to amaze me how many willingly ignorant people there are out there.

So we have a president who continues his war “just for fun.” How does that sit with you MAGATs?
Just bloody SO sick 🤮 one runs out of words. There truly is no bottom. 🇨🇦
