Surely the AG does not have the power to so singularly wave his paw and decree such immunity. That's the kind of authority kings make for themselves.

They just making shit up as they go along.

Especially so given that Todd Blanche, AG involved in formulating this, was formerly Trump's personal lawyer. Do they think we are blind, or stupid?

It's been trump's mo for all his business life. Do whatever you want, let 'em sue you, tie 'em up in the courts until they go broke, rinse and repeat. By the time the case has been adjudicated, he will have made his money, and then some.

I really think he's finally lost all contact with the real world. Surrounded by yes men (and especially women) he's listening to his own echo.

This can't end well.

And surely something can be done to revoke all that shit.

And Ken, you have to be right. Just because numb nut "says so" doesn't make it right or true or legal. 🤮

I am appalled and very angry that Trump is planning to use taxpayer dollars (including mine and yours), to repay the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Total fund amount? 1.7 BILLION dollars!!! That is a lot of money that would/could go to people who tried to overthrow democracy!!! There must be ways to deny this grifter this gift to insurrectionists.!!!

Thank you for delivering the ultimate news. We all need to know the depth of his perfidy against the rule of law and the Constitution—ultimately TREASON against Americans and the U.S.A.

DEMAND Trump’s impeachment for TREASON/INSURRECTION. ALL officials that participated fall with him: Article II, Section 4. He will never be allowed to run again for any office: Amendment XIV, Section 3. Indeed should not have been allowed to run in 2024– if Florida Judge Aileen Cannon had done her job. Wonder who paid her off?

Dear Heather, I don’t know what I would do without you. I am physically and emotionally sick of this President Trump. He is such an awful person.

The men and women in my family have contributed their lives in the military services all the way back to the Revolutionary War. I’m exceptionally proud of my father who was a Lieutenant on a Flush 4-Piper in WWII. His instructions were to “Seek and Destroy” in the North Atlantic.

His father before him was an artillery lieutenant in WWI stationed in France.

Both sides of my family either flew or sailed into danger for the sake of our beloved country.

I feel heartbroken and wounded to the core to see how corrupt our White House and its administration has become. I protest, I write, I try to stay engaged to this awful fight of our lives. I restack a lot of information to encourage others to join us.

TBH, I am so discouraged and disappointed that I have fitfully slept since January 6th. I have even dreamed of the annihilation of Trump and all the administration.

I am a subscriber to your Substack and although I worry about you, I’m here to tell you is that I appreciate you and your hard work and dedication.

I’m a disabled widow, 68, who married a Vietnam Veteran for 28 years only to lose him to prostate cancer, probably from being “in country” and grossly affected by Agent Orange. I understand that Agent Orange has been responsible for many cancers, including Prostate cancer in our brave veterans.

As someone living on Social Security, I do not have enough money for food during the last week of the month.

Keep up the good fight and communicate with us so we can all stay on top of the Orange Idiot.

Help me understand. With the added page, Trump, etc, cannot be investigated by any government department. Is that what it said?

I volunteer once a week for 2 hours, to sit at the desk in our local Democratic Club in Green Valley, AZ (a city with 22,000 senior citizens). Yesterday a lifelong Independent came in to change his registration to Democrat. Said he was tired of wasting his vote. It’s happening!

Thank you, Heather.

He thinks he's the Teflon Don, but, alas, he is just the Skubalon Don.

The American military is not going to be forced to be his Mafioso hitmen in Cuba this weekend, I hope. They know better, I hope.

So tell me, will this 6- story bunker be ready in time for the midterms? Oh boy where will he hide if its not done in time? He'll need it! What is the bunker's status? The ballroom still looks like a rendering. Maybe this is also. Anyone know of any drawings, confined space permits, fire protection drawings or any permits at all for anything?! ( too much to expect I guess). I thought a historic buildings group threw a monkey wrench into his ballroom plans. Was this bunker included or are their hands tied by politics. I bet he got the big beautiful bunker idea from Putin. Copy Cat!

I heard from a friend that on CNN, Jake Tapper reported that the provision about the IRS audits applies only to pending investigations and to none going forward.

I'm not doubting the reporting here. If any doubt exists, in my mind it would be of CNN. I'm going to take a look at the DOJ website.

So what can we do about it?? Or maybe something is already in progress
