Lit only by the cold glow of his phone, he sat inside the White House in the dead of night. Outside, Washington slept. But Donald Trump was awake, hunched forward, eyes locked on the screen in front of him, rage scrolling and posting. He was unraveling in real time, spiraling deeper with every swipe of his thumb, and by morning, he had posted close to fifty times on Truth Social. The messages were impulsive, disordered, and increasingly detached from reality, ranging from wild conspiracy theories and fabricated election lies to outright threats and authoritarian propaganda.

Thank you for your commitment It’s is painful to witness what is happening to our country. Everyday seems to present a new shock from this administration.

I will need to change my name back to my maiden name. Please keep me informed of this timeline. I WILL NOT give up my right to vote. Plus Oregon is ALL mail in. How will that happen? Thanks so much for your efforts here. You are now my go to for keeping up with this!
Thank you, Heather, for documenting and keeping hope alive.❤️
