In Europe we are dealing with really appalling wild fires as you guys did in California. All down to climate change - climate change that Trump has completely denied and in fact ridden roughshod over to carry on doing everything he can to damage the planet.

He is now calling Democrats communists - who is Putin’s and Kim Jong un’s favourite Friend - Trump.

Trump is a venal Liar and the Democrats MUST get out there and be heard. They need to deliver facts as to how safe the vote is without interference from any one other than Trump who will try every scam available to win. Some agency that is not in trumps pocket must keep a check on Elon Musk as he will try every avenue possible to rig the vote.

Stand up guys be seen and counted to get this man off the podium spewing his dishonest invective.

Charlotte, absolutely this. I’m sorry for your fires and Heat Dome and the ripple effect trump and his Nazi fascist regime is having on the entire globe, in all aspects.

We will VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. And prepare for anything and EVERYTHING they are going to throw at us. We just NEED to keep spreading truths.

Ultimately it is up to “WE the PEOPLE.”

Thank you for continuing your support. Those of us on the right side of history truly appreciate you and others feeling the effects from away.

Be safe.❤️‍🩹

Hi Heather

Is there a reason why the end of each of your updates, you have to add all that verbiage, about dash this and dash that. It just seems kinda weird. It won't stop me from listening are following you, but it might annoy some who might need to know why you have to add it.

And I was thinking maybe you should mention to people, that there are ways to check what trump says for truthfulness. Like after I listened to what he said about a communist movement in America, I checked Google AI. And there is BUT it's small and has basically no political influence. They could learn to fact check through reliable sources. Even check several AI sources. I'm just thinking of ways that a person with your kind of media influence, could help people with ways to fact check our politicians.

Hi Randy, Regarding the verbiage, is this the automated audio version for Substack? If so, it's probably reading off the source links at the end.

Heather does an audio and video version of the post each day in her own voice, but there is a lag between them. That's usually ready by later in the day/evening due to the time needed for editing.

It’s comical that he’s trying tries to warn us that communism will take over the US when he is yearning to be accepted and trusted by Xi, Kim and Putin.

For the folks that still back him after he’s ordered thousands of Iranians killed, has armed cowboys kidnapping folks that are not Caucasian, stole billions from our tax dollars, misused budgets, and on and on, something is deeply wrong with you that you can’t recognize evil

Thank you Heather for your reporting, it’s so effective . And thank you for your salutation, that good things are coming no matter how badly he attempts to make us miserable

Heather your podcast is amazing, full of information as you report all of the events of the day as well as all corrupt criminal dynamics that accompany each day, I’m an experienced therapist with a specialty in mental health. Your analysis of Trump’s speeches, tweets and behavior are insightful, perceptive and 100% correct. I love the way you conclude each presentation with hope.

Thank you so much! Deborah

Thank you Heather

Seems the Felon failed to mention to the group in Milford, Michigan all about that signed executive order at the center of the case, titled "Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections" back in March of this year.

Among other things, the executive order instructs the U.S. Postal Service to propose rules for mail-in and absentee ballots, and it directs the Department of Homeland Security to compile “state citizenship lists" - lists of individuals in each state who are U.S. citizens over the age of 18. Under the order, the rules issued by the USPS must provide that the Postal Service can only send mail-in ballots to voters whose names appear on the state citizenship lists.

That a U.S. District Court in Massachusetts ruled that nonpartisan voting rights groups, 23 states and regions have standing and valid constitutional and statutory claims to move forward with a challenge to President Trump's executive order (EO) restricting mail-in voting.

The court reiterated earlier holdings that parts of the executive order are unconstitutional because they improperly insert the executive branch into elections, interfering with the authority of states and Congress. Among other provisions, the executive order unlawfully directs the United States Postal Service (USPS) to refuse to transmit eligible voters' ballots.

And today the Trump regime asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fully implement that executive order signed by President Donald Trump that seeks to impose additional restrictions on mail-in voting.

That the Trump regimes Solicitor General D. John Sauer called an order by a federal judge in Massachusetts that paused portions of the order in 23 states and the District of Columbia "extraordinary," and he argued that it "flouts settled" doctrines governing when courts can weigh in on a dispute.

Sauer also asked the court to issue an “immediate administrative stay” - an order that temporarily puts the lower court's order on hold while the justices consider the government's request. You know on the Supreme Court Courts “Shadow Docket” where Justices are not required to reveal how they voted. A recent ProPublica analysis revealed that only 17% of shadow docket votes have any form of public record or opinion attached. So how do we all think this ruling is going to go, maybe 6 to 3…

Michigan just so happens to be one of those states out of the 23 suing this regime to allow the USPS to get those mail in ballots to those in Milford, Michigan and be able to have the right to vote like they always have been given for years without the state turning over all their personal information to the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and the DOJ….

He’s not better than anyone’s parent, he’s not even a parent to his own offsprings or spawns… whatever you want to call them all…

TJ, and Heather, thank you for the information.

We literally are in the Battle for our lives. They are trying EVERY possible angle there is and twisting laws and The Constitution, not that they even care, to suit their agenda.

6-3 is one of our biggest problems along with the same and added election interference masters like Elon, Thiel, Putin, AIPAC, etc. and ICE Gestapo-Jan.6, 2.0.

Shelly here is Robert Hubbell’s Substack article form this morning

https://roberthubbell.substack.com/p/okay-lets-have-this-fight-we-need?r=viplr&utm_medium=ios

We organize, we move the mountains if need be if that mail-in voting is possibly mucked up by this regime… Take our neighbors, family, friends, etc.. to the polls, early voting… There are barriers that others may place in front of many but it’s up to all of us to decide how to get over them, under them or around them… and it’s always a good idea to take your neighbors with you.. stay safe and healthy a bumpy road indeed… Make it to big to rig 🌊 we all need a refreshing bath…

Shelly Rellim M.'s avatar

Thank you for the article.

I guess no matter what we hear, the bottom line is we have to get people out to vote in mass numbers!

TJ's avatar

Yes… there may be mail in voting but who knows what the rules may be if and it’s a big if SCOTUS stays the lower court… at this point not taking any chances and we have a plan for each day of early voting and loading people in cars to go and vote. Who knows maybe it will be a good day to get an ice cream cone through a drive thru even in late October and early November…

Shelly Rellim M.'s avatar

Love that.

I live in a more rural area…a lot of trumpers.

Those of us who recognise these tactics are not the people you need to reach. Those who turned up to applaud and cheer him on will resist your ‘lies’ as they will see them, because they’ve already been convinced of the ‘truth’ that their ‘hero’ spouts from his playbook. Therefore the question remains; HOW do you change the voting intentions of these dyed-in-the-wool Republican BELIEVERS?

Or do you ignore these ‘propaganda events’ and focus on reaching the people who traditionally don’t bother to go to the polling station to support THEIR idea of a worthwhile candidate/party?

I’m wishing you and America good luck because it seems to me there is still too much apathy amongst the electorate that he might just get better results at the midterms than sane Americans are hoping for.

Get the target in your sights and there’s every chance of making the waiverers choose the best option at the midterms.

Good luck Heather -and all of America.

It is that apathy we need to combat. It's very hard to wake folks up to the dangers of our time and the tremendous opportunities that await us if we can band together and vote out MAGA by voting in Democrats...

Stalin actively cultivated the notion that he was father to his people. The Soviet propaganda apparatus promoted him with titles like "Father of Nations" (Отец народов) and "Father of Peoples," casting him as a paternal figure watching over the entire multi-ethnic Soviet population, not just his own family or country.

A few ways this played out:

- **Propaganda imagery**: Posters, films, and children's books depicted him as a warm, wise father figure — often literally surrounded by adoring children, especially after a famous 1936 photo of him with a young girl named Gelya Markizova was widely circulated and turned into statues and paintings.

- **Language in media**: Newspapers, songs, and official speeches routinely referred to him in familial terms, reinforcing the idea that citizens owed him the loyalty and gratitude one owes a parent.

- **Personal branding choices**: He encouraged comparisons to historical father-figure rulers and positioned himself as the singular source of wisdom and protection for the Soviet people, especially during WWII when he was framed as guiding the "family" of nations through crisis.

This was a deliberate part of his broader cult of personality, built with help from figures like propaganda chief Andrei Zhdanov, and it served to consolidate loyalty around him personally rather than the Communist Party as an institution. It's a pattern seen in other authoritarian personality cults too (Kim Il-sung's "Fatherly Leader" title in North Korea is a close parallel), where paternal imagery is used to make political power feel natural and unquestionable, like a family bond rather than a system of control.

It continues to amaze me that there are people in this country who still believe the crap he spews!!! At this point, they cannot claim ignorance- only stupidity

I pray for their change of heart

EVERY SINGLE maga that I know...

IS a Conspiracy Believer.

EVERY SINGLE ONE!!

They constantly live in FEAR, PARANOIA, and ANGER...

And they BLAME EVERYONE ELSE for their OWN INSECURITIES!!

You CANNOT change those people..

Because the more you try to talk to them...

The MORE they distrust you.

PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT to BELIEVE...

No matter WHAT REALITY shows them.

You know how I know Trump is near his karmic end? When Heather reports on his psychopathic, megalomaniac, narcissistic, sociopathic inhuman speech and actions I feel physically sick. My body feels revulsion. I should feel rage but i don’t. This inhuman non being is so sick and has deceived so many millions of his cult members that we should pity his soul. He is lost beyond salvation. I think he may even be beyond God’s grace. His sins are just far too great. Sin is missing the mark. The mark of life.

Where his soul is going is not a good place. When I was 10 years old I spent several months in Irapuato, Mexico living with some American friends of my parents. They had an adopted Mexican boy a little older than me and he took me out that night and showed me what poverty looked like. This is what hell looks like. He took me to a mud shack where the streets were deep mudden ruts, where a drunken man was in a rage against the world. When violence looked like it was coming our way we ran out of there as fast as we could. The despair was palpable. This man was in a living on earth hell. This is what’s in store for Trump when his soul leaves his body. Death for him will live with him constantly as he gave no life to anyone. Death will give him no relief. He will come face to face with himself to see what an utter failure as a human being he was in life. And, in time, after spending great time in the hell in the afterlife he will reincarnate back to earth and into a life of abject poverty and despair. His “riches” on earth rewarded him with his karmic due. This goes for everyone and anyone who places their faith in material things to give their lives meaning and purpose. It’s an illusion. A trap. A web. It’s a dead end and a ticket to endless suffering and pain. Jesus knew this so he said: “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither rust nor moth consume and where thieves do not break in and steal.” “Not my will but God’s will.” The only way to transcend the illusion and duality of the 3D material world is to Love one another without conditions. We who are in the light can see Trump’s depravity. It’s best that we forgive him because he is clueless. It is how we escape the revulsion of this deeply deranged excuse of a human being. Trump has created his own damnation and hell and it’s all catching up with him for us all to witness.

Thank you Heather for putting him up on the big screen of life for all of us to see what you see. The end is near.

Trump forgot to mention the Obama bailout of the autos. Was that Communism? Is the UAW Communist? Many of the GOP opposed that bailout along the way. Must have slipped his mind. He is too ignorant to even know what Communism is. The press should ask him to “define Communism.” I bet he skipped that class. Lord knows he would never read a book. Nobody gives a shit about facts in MAGA Land. They can just use AI. Look it up. Trump can have his blonde lackey look it up.

Marcia Goodman-Blair's avatar

The thought that runs through my mind whenever Trump speaks now is “How can anyone still believe this bull crap?” He’s a Class A drama queen. Really, I am just astounded, as well as deeply worried and angry at what he is doing to our country.

Glenna's avatar

Exactly what I say every time he has a speech. It is always so truly a bunch of nonsense that a normal person would know it is not based in reality.

Heather you are the best. I'm 78 years old and live in Austin Texas. For 10 years America has endured Trump nonsense. Now he's running for an unconstitutional 3rd term. Enough already. Americans need to vote like their futures depend upon it.

Thank you very much for doing this report, Heather. His face is getting ashened with a grey tone to it. I noticed that right away. Smh... he is out of his mind.
