I am on a limited income, reeling from the cost increases for insurance, water, electricity, and—yes—garbage and sewer fees. This is not to mention the cost increases in food prices, and services (the service people have to pay THEIR workers enough so that they can keep their heads above water). I’ve already canceled/non-renewed streaming services, newspapers (bye bye WAPO), and I no longer go out for meals, coffee, etc. And I am selling my car. I really really really can’t spring for more ‘extras.’ So: making your posts free is both wise and good. I can’t read them otherwise. —And I know that I am NOT alone.
Well, I agree. I no longer subscribe to the WAPO, don’t watch CBS or Disney anything, and am in the process of bowing out of subscription services that—suddenly annd without warning—have added ‘premium’ services to their regular fare, and thus are trying to charge subscribers even more to watch things they joined the service to be able to watch. More and more isolation. Great.
Plus, injecting commercials into the content. It was okay to help providers collect advertising dollars in the days of free, over-the-air TV, but last time I checked, cable / satellite / streaming services already get paid directly by subscribers. This does not compute.
I am a paid subscriber and I love when you open up your content to all. The information you provide is so valuable and well presented, I am glad you take opportunities to share it with a wider audience. Keep up the great work, Harry!
Michael Luttig might be the most boring person on earth. But he is one of those people who represents my problem. I want to go back to hating Republican policies instead of hating Republicans. He is a conservative Republican who respects the constitution. Too bad he’s not on the Supreme Court.
I love this!!! Such a vindication of our judges and judicial system! I grew up believing attorneys and judges were good guy concerned only with the truth (yes, even Hamilton Burger) and those who weren't were the exception (shyster lawyers, who all but the criminal few knew to stay away from). I worked in the criminal justice system in various aspects for 35 years and this was before trump and the vast majority of the judges and attorneys I interacted with were indeed persons of integrity. To see that these folks still exist and are now handling so much responsibility for restoring democracy to our nation does my heart good!
I do hope that the legislators in South Carolina have more than common sense and made their decisions to not just because of logistics and common sense but because the genuinely do not want to disenfranchise Black voters and they know full well that is the intent of the proposed gerrymandering. To me that is at least one step beyond common sense, it's common decency, it's supporting that liberty and justice for all, and one person one vote that counts equally stuff. And maybe recognizing that Congressman Jim Clyburn has done more to try to help the people of South Carolina 43% of whom are considered ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), meaning they struggle to afford basic living expenses (as per United for ALICE). That's a lot of folks struggling and the GOP has done all they can to make the struggles even harder. Having one member of Congress who actually cares about constituents may be better than zero.
Thank you for this. Like your first commenter, my senior small income has me unable to afford a paid subscription this year, but I find a great deal of value in all that you write, and appreciate your understandable narrative. Here’s to hoping that the fever grip of tRUmp is in the throes of breaking, and civility and law being restored rather than rejected.
Thank you so much, Harry, for some good news! Of course unfortunately Trump will never give up and instead his escalating condition exacerbates his lifelong need for and habit of reacting with revene and retribution when things don't go his way. But it's a good thing that "push back" against his plans seems to be on the rise.
Thanks for these updates that help those of us who aren't lawyers understand the details. I'm also grateful to the retired judges who are stepping up to support the rule of law and demonstrate concern for their country, sorely lacking in the Trump regime.
The visage of a settlement agreement with no clothes on certainly pulls the arras aside to expose the stinky rot that the regime’s newspeak passes off as a fair and just fraud. Gotta love Rule 60, yasureyabetcha.
A fundamental political shift is occurring in the country It actually began on Oct 7 but perhaps earlier when Hamas attacked Israeli settlements Due to the brutal fascist Israeli government response and its attempted Palestinian genocide, it has brought up a national dialogue about Palestinian rights
This was brought into sharper focus with the Mamdani election for NYC mayor in the most Jewish dense population in the country suggesting that even the American Jewish diaspora is fed up with the Israeli fascist government And now with the Jewish Brad Ladner topping his AIPAC supported Democratic primary incumbent Goldman by 30 points it suggests that the money interests that have long been a lobby for American Jewish interests is losing support
In the US we have for too long been indoctrinated by Jewish money interests such as AiPAC and the ADL to have a blunted partisan view of the Arab/Muslim opinion but that's changing With Mamdani and other eloquent spokespeople like Ruwa Romman in Georgia who is running for a state legislative seat, there is a valuable Arab voice speaking for the interests of that community And this really is uncomfortable for the long standing Zionist money interests of the Jewish lobby since they are losing control of the narrative they have long held
Zionists and Democratic political consultants like Simon Rosenberg of Hopium Chronicles who have been hiding their fascist views are now being exposed for who they really are as well as the Nazi Republicans who throw their support behind Zionists because that’s where the money is

I'm finding it hard to pay for subscriptions, too. So damn many, many of them good, but I can't afford it. There has to be a better way.

Definitely news that is restoring my hope. And, yes, the retired judges' brief is great reading!
Thank you for making this free. I'm on a limited income and cannot afford you but read you every chance I get. Thank you for all you do.

Excellent comments Pat❣️ I ABSOLUTELY AGREE 🙏🏽

This freebie certainly had me smiling. Thanks, Harry. Wish I could pay you with more than gratitude.
(PS: Have you or Substack considered a reduced senior/student/ unemployed tier?)
Why is Trump robbing the government ?
It’s where the “real money”is !
I woke up from gut pain, sorted out a sputtering router, then read this shot of hope. Thanks, HL!

Fingers crossed for Judge Hannah Dugan!!! 😎✌️
You’re right, the signs look good for our side.
