Your daily topics show just how far we continue to fall from democracy, in major issues, and what we used to think of as minor details. Explaining as you do under each heading, is truly invaluable. I continue to be amazed at how much what we call MSM doesn’t speak about so much of what you do. You provide a truly invaluable service to anyone who does not want to see authoritarianism take hold in this country. Many thanks.
What you provide here is an indispensable daily chronicle of the historic calamity that has befallen our country. I read you everyday. Despite the fact that tyranny seems to hold the upper hand now, it carries the seeds of its own defeat. We must keep in mind that the Republican party put the mad king in power and that he has taken actions that they did not expect and often ignores their counsel. But even so, the GOP still has the power to rein him in and after they see the results of the midterms, will likely do so. If they turn on him, Trump will be forced to form his own party recruiting republican defectors. But the history of third parties in the United States is not a happy one- they seldom survive long and never after the charismatic leader is gone, witness Teddy Roosevelt's Bullmoose party. Trumpism will not long survive, but fascist strains of populism seemingly are always with us.
Egads, it just keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it. How can America survive this? I've got a broken back or I'd already be out there marching and rallying non-stop. What will finally make enough GOP members of congress rise up and impeach Trump, Vance and Johnson?
“Trump appointee asked IRS to review audit of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Experts say the outreach on behalf of a Trump political ally is highly unusual and represents a change in how political appointees engage with the tax agency.”

It's the abject cruelty, which is a feature not a bug.
Your subtitle has 2024 instead of 2025.

Standard IRS rules for thee,
No rules for me and my pals.
Olga you’re providing an invaluable service. Writers of every genre have facts and ties to work with. God bless you.
This is so disheartening but we have to keep our eyes wide open to all of these attacks. Mahalo for your efforts!
The remedy for this is required. My thoughts are not good on that, and reflect my impatience when there are torture and abuse being condoned.

I’m starting to wonder if all the police, military etc are going to be only American citizens.
Pure projection from the ugly corrupt left.
Deny the facts at your peril.
This country is a lost cause.
