The Tilt Towards Power
The United States is sat on a tilted scale. One side holds democracy and the other carries Trump and his growing taste for control. Each authoritarian move made by Trump shifts the weight in the wrong direction. The scale keeps dropping fast, forcing democracy to fight for its very survival. Keep reading this newsletter to uncover every shift from the past week and how our country can hang on.
The Narrative of Power
The two parties of our country are in a battle to write the headlines. While Republicans want to hide their inhumanity under safety concerns and budget cuts, Democrats are trying to expose their true motivation—control. Women, children, immigrants, and low-income families will all suffer as a result of this week’s news, so it’s crucial that you know who is responsible.
How Democracy is Caving In
The foundation of our country built from the Constitution, natural rights, accountability, and democracy is caving in on us. While the corrupt maneuvers and inhumane policy of Republicans are causing the structure to fail, not all Democrats are joining the fight to keep it from breaking beyond repair. Americans are already suffocating under the ruble, so it is crucial to learn who's causing the problem and what we can do about it.
Blue Wave, Red Tide
On this past election day, Democrats secured key victories that have set forth a new blue wave, but the toxic red tide of Republicans still remains. ICE raids around every corner, closures of welfare programs, and authoritarianism are tarnishing the celebrations of this recent success. We are stuck in a sea of corruption where more blue waves in the midterms and next presidential election are required to wash us safely onto shore. This newsletter covers the dangers we are facing at sea and how we can stay afloat.
Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue
Halloween may be over, but the frights taking over our country are not going away. Every headline mentioning Trump’s unconstitutional wishes, authoritarian actions, and evil policy feels like a jump scare. The ghosts and ghouls haunting America are not playful creatures but slimy politicians attempting to hide their wickedness under a blanket of lies. Shining a light on the scares, this newsletter calls out the headlines and shares what kinds of haunts await the American people.
Democracy vs. Monarchy: The Fight for America
Trump is set on turning our democracy into a monarchy. From pardoning corrupt allies to demolishing the White House, Trump is doing everything he can to seize control. The American people, like the generation before them who faced a king, are standing up to this tyranny in historic numbers. Trump is refusing to listen to his fellow citizens, seeing them as subjects instead of his source of authority—forgetting that in a democracy, his power comes from the consent of the governed. This newsletter highlights the latest overreaches of Trump and how Americans can keep fighting for our country.
Layover in Authoritarianism
Americans are stuck on a plane filled with chaotic passengers, rocked by turbulence, and heading towards an uncertain destination. Trump and his allies are flying the plane and have landed us at a stop named authoritarianism. As we watch democracy disappear from sight, we remain stuck in a layover whose duration remains unknown. This newsletter covers the ebbs and flows of the week, pointing out when our pilots veer off course and what the passengers can do about it.
The Wildfire: How Trump is Burning Down Our Democracy
Every story from this week is adding to the wildfire of chaos consuming American politics. The shutdown, deployment of National Guards, and Supreme Court rulings covered here are fueling a fire set to end our democracy. To stop the fire, we must make every action of Trump and solutions for them known, especially as talks of the midterms arise.
This Week’s Chaos and Power Grabs
It feels like our country is walking on a tight rope where any wrong moves can lead to disaster. While Democrats are attempting to keep us balanced, Republicans are doing anything they can to sway us off course. Every power grab, authoritarian overreach, or budget crisis is putting our democracy at risk. This newsletter will outline every maneuver and how we can get off this rope of despair.
The Garbage Pile That Is Trump’s America
Our federal government is turning into one giant mess that seems impossible to clean up. Just as you begin sweeping up trash or washing away a spill, another customer comes rolling in that tries to upend your progress. It is critical that the janitor—or in our reality Democrats—do not give in and accept the chaos around us. We must fight back against authoritarianism before it makes our once respected democracy unrecognizable. This newsletter covers the wins and losses of the week, telling you how we can save our country one move at a time.
The Scary Reality of American Politics
With September now upon us, we have officially entered the Halloween season. Soon, movies with jump scares, monsters, and ghosts will be taking over the media scene, but the horror is not limited to the silver screen. The reality Americans are facing every day is slowly becoming its own scary movie. Looking at the DC takeover, immigration raids, and fear propagated by the Trump administration, it’s easy to draw parallels between the horrors on screen and those in the White House. This newsletter breaks down this week’s new scenes and scares, making sure all of our screams are heard
Crash Ahead: America’s Political Road Trip
Politics is the trip nobody signed up for, but everyone’s stuck on the bus.

This newsletter is your travel guide through the detours, roadblocks, and crash sites of American democracy.
