Considering we haven't heard a peep from her since just before Musk left, she had so much pent up, she just had to let it out. She's old enough to know better than to try to backtrack her statements. She knows what she said was "Brutally true" Good reporting Adam.

Leavitt is a clown.

YAY, Susan. Truth at last.

She’s too experienced to not have done this willfully. She has a plan.

And reminded of the line in the movie Mississippi burning. The weasels are committing suicide. This may be one of the best train wrecks in politics. 🍿

Wiles is now on the record of not supporting some of the insanity and illegality. She’s planning her escape so she won’t be held accountable.

And Bongino is out according to Lev Parnas. As Dean Blundell says, the rats are leaving the ship.

🌟🇺🇸 “When Democracy Wasn’t a Police State”

We remember a time,

not too long ago,

when Main Street could blossom

and small shops could grow.

When government’s message

to neighbors was clear:

“Start up your dream—

we’ll help, not interfere.”

But then came the tariffs,

the taxes in disguise,

that jacked up the prices

on everyday buys.

They rattled our markets,

they rattled our town,

till factories shuttered

and wages fell down.

He picked fights with allies

who’d long stood beside,

where many have family

and kin they still pride.

He snarled at our partners,

he fractured our trust,

turning teamwork to tantrums

and friendship to dust.

Then visas got tangled

in red-tape and fear,

with five years of socials

to sift and to smear.

Tourism suffered,

farms lost their hand,

students and nurses

were stalled at the land.

From boardwalks and diners

to bright concert lights,

the jobs slowly vanished

like stars in bad nights.

It hammered our teachers,

our clinics, our art,

the everyday engines

that once drove our heart.

Yet one line of business

kept growing in size—

more ICE, more informers,

more watchful cold eyes.

Bounty-hunt biceps

and cages and gates,

more boots and more badges,

less hope in our states.

But we, older watchers,

recall something great—

when “democracy”

didn’t mean “police state.”

When laws still had limits,

and rights had a space,

and neighbors felt welcome

in our common place.

So we talk to our children,

we share what we know,

we lift up the voices

that truthfully show

How policies hurt us,

how cruelty spreads—

and how we can choose

better paths instead.

With comments and resharing,

with facts we relate,

we’ll guard the America

that once felt less late.

For a freer tomorrow

is still ours to make—

when we stand up together

for a non–police state. ✨🇺🇸

Agree! She’s seasoned enough to plan her own exit strategy. And those around her are not as savvy - so they didn’t see it coming

The current White House in in constant chaos from the first day. That will only get much worse the closer we get to the mid terms.

Once again, everybody believed Trump’s bullshit lie - he said Susie Wiles was tough, brilliant, strategic, an ice maiden, the best chief of staff ever. Susie Wiles is none of these. She is a glorified administrative assistant – a codependent (daddy alcoholic), she does as she is told. The White House just thought they could put this little old lady out there as the face of the White House staff and paper over the incompetence, the chaos and the classless bunch of clowns – pretending Susie had her finger on the pulse and making sure everyone stayed in line. 😹 if Susie Wiles was any of those things that Trump said she was, she would’ve left on day two of this administration – hell she wouldn’t have even been considered for the job. Why are we so amazed that one more person in Trumps clown car is a clown!

I agree with you re Susie Wiles. Her “wiles” were not in evidence talking to a reporter for 11 hours, sometimes while folding laundry. She got cozy and lost her grip on what she said and kind of “forgot” that a reporter is never one’s friend. That’s an amateur’s move, not a strategist’s move. Fortunately, I think what she said was true and chilling especially Vance’s conspirator’s ambition and Musk’s drug addled behavior. I love the Leavitt photo which skewered her with the lip filler injections and the oh-so-slightly orange nose. Now that is photo editing. It only slightly makes up for the Olivia Nuzzi gonzo/wannabe writing.

Or was Wiles intentionally sabotaging the Administration? That's the spin I intend to go with.

I'm loving every minute of their crumbling administration.

We The People!

We knew it would happen, he would go too far, his dementia allowed him to go too far, now it will be the self preservation tour. But they have encouraged, facilitated, lied, and participated in the destruction of the country, the Rule of Law and the disregard of the Constitution, and We the People will not forget and they will not be able to tap dance mea culpas out of their complicity.

Thank you Adam for your excellent reporting 💙❤️

The shocking part or not shocking

They know that they are lying to the world and American people

I never quite knew if they knew and are lying or really this dumb maybe half half will be true, Miller for sure is not capable of straight thoughts like this I always wrote them on x If they believe what they are saying It's crazy but at least it's nice to know somebody in the White House is not taking drugs but supporting dangerous Trump decisions to the world destroying everything

Flora Jackman's avatar

Maybe she is looking for a way out. The look in her eyes is similar to Patels, horrified, frightened like caged animals. 😳 Dunno, perhaps she sees the writing on the wall.

I am really hoping this gets to you.

The real reason for blocking minors from social media. Australia has done this now, to access substack I now have to verify as an adult...first step biometrics. I have two online personal, work and personal, disconnected as much as possible. Once I verify the net connects them.

Further complication my fiancé is American my personal social will not get me anywhere near US my work might but probably not - hard to hide anti-fa left lean. This is the only real reason for the block it is to keep us on FOX and SKY

Oh my God. We can bring back Joe Biden, his 21% inflation over 4 years, his open borders & crime and Biden’s war on fossil fuels and low gasoline prices and low natural gas prices. Thank you all you virtue signaling multimillionaire Democrats. W. Manion, MDPhDJDMBA

Kerstin Phil's avatar

The “21% inflation over 4 years” claim is misleading. Inflation is reported annually, not by adding multiple years together. Annual inflation never reached 21%; it peaked around 9% in 2022 and then declined, following post-COVID supply disruptions and a global energy and food shock that affected much of the world.

The U.S. does not have “open borders,” crime has fallen since its pandemic-era spike, and there is no “war on fossil fuels” — the U.S. has reached record oil and gas production during Biden’s term.

This comment relies on slogans and cumulative framing rather than how these metrics are actually measured or reported.

Tom C's avatar

The claim is that prices rise 21% over 4 years. There was nothing said about the annual rate.

What is unsaid is why prices rose. Prices rise because of post-pandemic supply shortages, and pent-up demand goosed by $4 trillion in stimulus funds under Trump, and $2 trillion more under Biden.

I'm not complaining. Stimulus spending was the right thing to do. The alternative might have been an extended deflationary depression with no clear avenue of eacape.

It would be nice of politicians would treat voters like adults and try to explain how economics works. I mean the politicians who understand.

Kerstin Phil's avatar

It would be nice if politicians were more educated still your prices did not rise 20%. That's how it looks some prices arose and some didn't so it's not a overall price rise that's the misleading part but of course he wants to make Biden bad look bad because of his buddy Trump 😉

William ManionMDPhDJDMBA's avatar

Prices were up 21% over four years under Biden. If you don’t want to call it inflation then call price increases. That average to 5% price increases per year. Already Trump has price increases at 2.8% and will keep falling as energy prices keep falling. I am happy that Democrats that are so wealthy then can applaud Bidenomics and vote for Democrats who brought in 15 to 20 million illegal immigrants are taxes are paying for. The illegal immigrants were brought in to help Democrats who get House of Representative seats based on numbers of legal citizens and illegal immigrants in a district. Bringing in illegal alien immigrants and getting them registered to vote is the only strategy saving the dying, dysfunctional, dystopian Democrat Party. Gasoline prices are dropping under Trump. All gasoline prices did under Biden were to go up. How can young people vote for Democrats as they and RINO Republicans dump 7 Trillion dollars of national debt. A Trillion dollars is 1,000 Billion dollars. A Billion dollars is 1,000 Million dollars. A Million dollars is 1,000 Thousand dollars. Young people, Trump wants to sell clean oil, clean coal and super clean natural gas around the world to lower the National Debt and give young people a chance at the American Dream like I had in the 1970s and 1980s.

What is BDS? Biden Derangement Syndrome? Who cares about Biden now? Biden makes Jimmy Carter, the great Democrat disaster President, much more competent. LOL. W. Manion, MDPhDJDMBA

It’s better for that person to be sarcastic then to admit that this current administration is nothing more than sexual predators, liars, with the most corrupt person on earth. That is far better apparently.
