Anyone here who also reads Heather Cox Richardson's Substack "Letter From an American" will have read today about Rep Jim McGovern's fabulous speech. (If you haven't, look it up!)
Please call his office and thank him for his frank message to America!

Ahem..."thank you for your attention to this matter"
EDIT: IF YOU CALL RIGHT NOW YOU WILL GET AN ACTUAL AIDE ON THE PHONE. SHE SAYS HE IS GETTING MANY CALLS, BUT please please please ADD YOUR THANKS, REGARDLESS IF YOU AREN'T A CONSTITUENT!
Desi Lydic is hilarious. Spot on. Videos similar to this -- with short clips side-by-side of Republicans being complete idiots -- should be campaign ads.
Don't forget that young woman who, a few years back, so flawlessly mimed Trump's famous "person, woman, man, camera, TV" remarks that her show-biz career suddenly took off.
I've never seen such a bunch of bored high schoolers, not even at my high school's mandatory pep assemblies (had to be mandatory because we were NOT a sports power, to say the least, and nobody went to games.)
Our most famous alumni were the folk singers Fred and Ed Holstein, Nobel Prize winner James Watson who discovered DNA — and groupie Cynthia Plastercaster, who was close to my year but I don't remember her. I recall our principal saying at a pep assembly, "Ok, so our football team hasn't won a game and our basketball team is 2-18. But we have the city champion debate team and the Illinois champion chess team." Rah rah. Our basketball team my senior year got written up in the Chicago Sun Times for having the highest grade point average of any public high school basketball team in the city. I think a couple of them went to Harvard.
The Supreme Court told this administration its emergency tariff powers were complete horseshit. So the Department of Try It Again Sideways went shed-diving for a fresh goddamn hammer.
Doug Wilson preaches at the Pentagon. Pete Hegseth reportedly calls him his spiritual adviser. Sit with that goddamn arrangement a second.
Asked by Uncloseted Media whether the maximum penalty for homosexual behavior in his ideal world would be execution, Wilson answered: yeah.
Yep, they came to him with tears in their eyes, blood dripping from their wounds, and so concussed they had no idea what they were saying, and they told him, no one has ever presidented like you or commanded so commandingly. We sure didn't deserve to die for our country! Who could deserve that? Just make sure that a MAGA hat is carved into our tombstones!
Maybe if he would have bowed his down at the transfer …he would have fallen…we could only have hoped! Communist ads are showing in WI for the race for governor…give me a fucking break you damn rethuglicans! Great Claudia photos…thanks Jeff!
Jeff, “blowing up Mt. Rushmore by communists”.. he is bringing his new shiny word out and of course red hats will follow as they have for the past 4 months, on every RW outlet..it’s almost like they all have Tourette disease among other mental deficiencies. Then Donald claims those in the front row of his speeches “are getting rich” Another revealing comment about the attendees… he is paying them… full stop… As the frontal temporal disease progresses he will be giving up more revealing comments.. and people believe he is operating on all cylinders? He’s an embarrassment plain and simple… he’s gone and he’s never coming back… just like Mitch….Best to all fellow travelers.
He sounds exactly like my Mom when she was deep in dementia. Boy, could she weave a story that never happened! She was kind, though, & not a psychopath
The big joke is that for decades the U.S. Communist Party has consisted of about two dozen pedantic old guys who argue with each other and keep splitting into factions. There are places where you can find vestiges of them: if you go to a rally such as No Kings, you may have encountered the "refuse" people ("refuse and resist") who usually set up just outside the rally. The Communist Party is involved in that.
He might possibly be going on about Communists because he (or one of his staff) remembers Reagan always going about Communists and thinks its a winning strategy.
Like what you see? Please feel free to subscribe to my Substack for a dose of limericks, poems and song parodies which hopefully take the Moron-in-Chief and his crew of sycophantic greedpigs down a notch or three.
Well now we know what has taken Donny so long to roll out his replacement for Obamacare. He’s been trying to come up with an original, catchy name for it. And I’ve gotta say, he really nailed with “The Great Healthcare Plan”.
We'll all be living in tents and reading by candlelight by then Tonya. Abraham Lincoln read by candlelight so there's that. Always look at the positive side of things.
During the Great Depression the shanty towns were ruefully nicknamed Hoovervilles. The coming tent cities and cardboard tenements should be known as trumpdumps
The Claudia pics take the bad taste out of my mouth from looking at photos of the Dipshit. The day he finally buys the farm, the cheering will be heard on the moons of Jupiter. The only thing louder than that will be MAGA dipshits claiming they never really liked him. In the meantime, calling Democrats commies will not play in Peoria. My generation was raised on the red scare. Young ppl don't know what the fuck Trump is talking about. I have the feeling he talks to the ghost of Roy Cohn while he's up in the middle of night.
Sounded to me like the kids were laughing AT HIM when he called Pee-wee Herman “Pinky”! WTF was he doing talking to high schoolers anyway, & who the fuck planned that?!
I read the reason he didn’t bow his head was because he’s so unstable on his feet now & was afraid of falling. He was swaying some.
Ha reminds me if some of my mist favorite lyrics from Uneasy Rider......" long-haired hippie type pinko fag".......LOL I've had lots of fun calling myself that.
You do realize he’s a stable genius- he can multi task like no other - I’m now almost done Regime Change started yesterday- it’s unbelievable how incompetent he is- I can’t help it I read all I can about him ( first term too) can watch him or hear him speak- didn’t watch his inaugurations - cured myself while watching the debates with Hillary with Trump on mute. But I read… and eat Tums‼️

Great speech! Thanks for the tip :)
Did you mean McGovern? I'm not sure who Jim McGowan is. I looked him up and can't find him.
YES! My bad! I will correct it immediately!
Here's Heather's Letter:
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/july-22-2026
I called. I did get an actual person. That hardly ever happens.
True that! Thune's office NEVER picks up, and I leave my email address and they NEVER email me. Dirty stinkin' dogs!!
Republicans don't want to hear from constituents. Ewww.
Cross that party line!
Now that most primaries are over
Im glad that rebuking is happening.
But can one really rebuke satan?
Doesn't seem like that is going to be necessary because according to Greg Kelly it is about to be over.

That was excellent! Thanks for the link!
I love her. She's a riot.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think he care what Congress wants?
Back of the net!
I think that gif is going to make this guy at Marietta Georgia's high school famous. They will invite him on SNL for sure to imitate Trump.

You must have gone to my high school. (Famous alumni Merrick Garland) Not a sports powerhouse at all.

I fear for his safety.
The Student ?
Huh?
Hopefully, they don’t send the FBI to his house
Yes. Stock market is down 500 points. Guess another ceasefire will be announced tomorrow.
after all, the markets won't manipulate themselves

No hedge. No hot mic. A sit-down he said yes to.
Love your words in this post: “The land keeps the ledger whether or not the company does.” So true!
Spoken like a true Druid.
Ross Nichols would be proud of me, I gather.
He's unwittingly Iran's sucker
Too consumed by his Bibi ass-pucker
He ain't playing chess
Just another fine mess
By this repeatedly stupid up-fucker
Shit. Guess I’d better fill up today. Sigh.
Yep, they came to him with tears in their eyes, blood dripping from their wounds, and so concussed they had no idea what they were saying, and they told him, no one has ever presidented like you or commanded so commandingly.

He brazenly showed up undeterred
His self-aggrandizing bullshit he purred
That demented old codger
Is a five-time draft dodger
Because he claims he was bone spurred
Fuck-fuck-fuck,
fuck fuck the Donald.
Fuck-fuck-fuck,
fuck fuck the Donald
Rocking and arolling, rocking and areeling
What a scam!
".. we had to ravage through all the cities? they gave me a dress that didn’t even fit properly."
HAHA! "Out moroned yourself"? Only this imbecile could do that.
Glad you included the very awesome student making fun of the felons sweaty performance ... that brought me great joy. 😂😂
It feels quite dismal. So I appreciate the photos of beautiful Claudia ... always ending on a high note. Thanks. We need her...and you. ✌️
Maybe if he would have bowed his down at the transfer …he would have fallen…we could only have hoped! Communist ads are showing in WI for the race for governor…give me a fucking break you damn rethuglicans! Great Claudia photos…thanks Jeff!
I was thinking something similar. Maybe he has no mobility in his neck. Or he is just senile and has forgotten where he is or why.

Like a steel locomitive rollin' down the track...
I would pay to see MAGAs try to define communism

Drumpf is a walking buffoon
His head space is filled with balloons
I really do pray
That he'll just go away
I'd rather go talk to baboons.
And now be afraid of the commies!
Oh no! Go hide with your mommies!
Mount Rushmore is next?
This makes me perplexed!
Nah. I'd rather go talk to salamis.
Like what you see? Please feel free to subscribe to my Substack for a dose of limericks, poems and song parodies which hopefully take the Moron-in-Chief and his crew of sycophantic greedpigs down a notch or three.
Good one!
Of course Dear Leader sucks
For anyone else he gives no fucks
Just look at his core
Delusional flat-Earthers
And Obama birthers
And lovers of the illegal Iran war
C-ya later alligator! Not too soon baboon!
Dignified transfer?
They are suckers and losers
It's all about me
Well now we know what has taken Donny so long to roll out his replacement for Obamacare. He’s been trying to come up with an original, catchy name for it. And I’ve gotta say, he really nailed with “The Great Healthcare Plan”.
“Great” is in EVERYTHING he does. Looking back in 50+ years, students are going to study this & wonder if it was all satire when naming bills & shit.
We'll all be living in tents and reading by candlelight by then Tonya. Abraham Lincoln read by candlelight so there's that. Always look at the positive side of things.
During the Great Depression the shanty towns were ruefully nicknamed Hoovervilles. The coming tent cities and cardboard tenements should be known as trumpdumps
Jeff thank you for your wonderful irreverence, and thank you for the Daily Claudia, which brightens my day and makes me smile ❤️
I now have visions of Jeff ravaging through cities in an ill-fitting dress and I can't stop laughing. Thank you Sir, with big tears in my eyes!
Funny Lisa….🤭
When will too much be too much for the Republican Party?
Rs could remove him from office today.
But if they removed him, they’d be derailed from the gravy train. Ain’t gonna happen.
They're never going to do that. As unpopular as Trump is now, they are even less popular.
I keep hoping for morality.
I’ve been politically active since I was 16. A very long time ago.
I’m fully aware of what the Republican Party is..
It will never be too much for the Repug party.
Memory refresh. Look at them. From the 50’s on. Just look at them.
If strong talk to them.
Make any sense?
Fuck dumb to the bone.
The Claudia pics take the bad taste out of my mouth from looking at photos of the Dipshit. The day he finally buys the farm, the cheering will be heard on the moons of Jupiter.

Hope he buys the farm like no one ever has before!!!!
And overpays for it!
Exactly and thing is, we are all suckers and losers to him. Just depends where you are on the chopping block.
I hope the kid mocking DJT didn’t get hauled out and beaten up by the goon squad. I noticed how nicely they were dressed. Were they paid to be there?
Probably told they'll get an "F" on something and lose a point in their GPA.
Sounded to me like the kids were laughing AT HIM when he called Pee-wee Herman “Pinky”! WTF was he doing talking to high schoolers anyway, & who the fuck planned that?!
I read the reason he didn’t bow his head was because he’s so unstable on his feet now & was afraid of falling. He was swaying some.
I wonder if the students knew that "pinky " referred to Communists? Guess I just showed my age?
Pinko doesn't rhyme with Peewee, so he took some liberties there.
Was Pee Wee Herman a Communist?
Ha reminds me if some of my mist favorite lyrics from Uneasy Rider......" long-haired hippie type pinko fag".......LOL I've had lots of fun calling myself that.
The Mocking Dude even has down the weird mouth thing that the orange piece of shit does when doing accordion hands!
You do realize he’s a stable genius- he can multi task like no other - I’m now almost done Regime Change started yesterday- it’s unbelievable how incompetent he is- I can’t help it I read all I can about him ( first term too) can watch him or hear him speak- didn’t watch his inaugurations - cured myself while watching the debates with Hillary with Trump on mute. But I read… and eat Tums‼️
Thanks for taking one for the team!
Thank you brotha, for keeping me sane in all this sewer crap! ☮️👏👏🌊🌊☮️💯
