I am so worried about our country. It seems hopeless that anyone can stop him ignoring the constitution. Is there any hope?

Yes, of course, Loretta, but there is always hope.

I need to see some evidence of justice for him to have hope. The department of justice and the Supreme Court are not giving me that. I’m a very positive person, but it’s been a struggle staying that way with all the hypocrisy I see and especially from those friends that I’ve known for years. Disheartening.

We cannot just lose hope and just give up. Trump wants us to capitulate and give in prematurely, and he wants us to feel hopeless and powerless.

Always look forward to you and Mary dishing out the goods on the Trump administration and the other nutty stuff that is going on in this country and against its citizens! Thanks for being there! A culinary / law video may be in the future?

Samin Nosrat has a good recipe as does NYT cooking app. I vary it up a lot with what I have but use lots of seeds, nuts, maple syrup and olive oil. And don’t forget some salt. Happy cooking!

For you, 108 protest signs for the fight. This is for Occupied D.C. Many signs are revised to sing. 🎶. I recommend using a local printer, but national print companies offer great pricing, shipping included. There is time to get the lot printed for your protest group, assuming you have a gathering of 300 to 1,000. This would help fill the hands of the signless.

A Word, Please, from Adi Weiss's avatar

We have learned from the militarization and especially from the softball questions and “follow-up” questions in the Maxwell/Epstein interview that Trump has what he’s wanted for a long time. The AG and DAG work for him, not for the US.

If we stand for the militarization, how will people who already fear being arrested ever make it to a polling place? We should stop this and keep alternative forms of voting. Thanks for the article.

Good question.

Georgetown Univ. provided this factsheet 2024, but it appears that applies to armed militias not ordered by Fed or State govts.

So, I don’t know how election officials/Trump/States will handle it for the 2025/2026 Special Elections, or midterms next year.

PLEASE consider coming to do a live program with @Lev Parnas! We need more journalists and media personalities talking with the people who know Trump BEST if we’re going to defeat him and save our democracy. Democratic Leaders are NOT getting the job done!!! Thank you!!
