There is SO much money being made off of imprisoning people. Is the motive really to have people self deport or is it to profit off/get off on terrorizing, kidnapping, and putting humans in cages? What is happening is disturbing, because it is unnecessary. Pass immigration reform. Give people a pathway to legally work and/or become a citizen that doesn’t take 10-20+ years and thousands of dollars.
Let’s be honest, he will appoint a loyalist that doesn’t give accurate job reports. He lies about inflation, gas prices and the money he is bringing in from other countries. Gas is not 1.98 per gallon anywhere and prices are going up. I see it with my own eyes when I go to the store and in my business
I’m pretty sure he’s going to give favors or ask for something in return. That’s what he does. I don’t think he should allow foreign investments. And I don’t think he will pay much at all.
I think my biggest concern about the ballroom is when Donald Trump says he is going to pay for half of it and anonymous donors will pay for the rest. If you ask contractors in the state of New York in New Jersey, they can assure you that Donald Trump does not pay his bills so unless they are going to collect his hundred million dollars in advance and unless he is going to give a complete list of who the donors are and how much they are donating, I don’t think this should go forward. I don’t have a problem with the ballroom. I don’t necessarily think this is the most fiscally responsible time to do it when we are talking about cutting benefits from our veterans and our families and children and healthcare and our disabled Americans. And we are spending billions of dollars on deporting people and prisons and detention camps. But I want to see the names and the numbers and I want the money upfront.
The thing is, this won’t cost 200M. So many people have said that this is an insane budget for this project. My biggest concern is that this will be used to launder money and will directly enrich the president. Of course since it will be called an “official action” by SCOTUS, he can get away with it.
Missing reading these news updates. Listening to a video for an hour is not easy. I’m so sorry, I think you’re the best and I trust getting my news from you. Are you going to go back to Instagram and do the updates there like before?
I understand the length being a bit much, you can speed it up just in case you didn’t know. I actually listen to it like a podcast (I just shut my screen off and it keeps playing) at 1.5x speed while I’m doing laundry or dishes! I find this an easy way to digest what Sharon puts out and getting stuff done at the same time!
I also have been checking IG tons and missing the shorter form written updates. Hard for me to commit to a 45 min video (though appreciate how valuable it is!)
Donors?? And Trump doesn’t build anything or pay his bills. He just masquerades as a builder and a success. Don’t let him grift the White House. This is not efficiency 🙄🙄
Thank you for taking the time to do this Sharon! There is just so much happening and getting some clear information about it all is really helpful.
That being said, I am so tired of living in these unprecedented times. I would like to go back to more precedented times please. If you wouldn’t mind waving a magic wand and fixing it, that would be great, mkay.
Sharon - you really do need to enable closed captioning. During your first half hour it was pretty clear and understandable. When you went to the questions - there was a lot of 'super speed talking'. there was severe lack of clarity the question being answered. I think you got tired of controlling your 'speech rate and clarity'.
What this did for folks like myself - we missed significant parts of what you were telling us.
Your written essays remain a model of clarity. Certainly the subject matter is limited but dealt with in a more complete and understandable way.
Your efforts are noteable. They continue to stimulate my thought. My thanks to you for your work.
Depending on how you’re watching there are subtitles. I’m watching on an iphone and when I click on the three little dots in the bottom right hand corner there is an option for subtitles. It might be different on a web browser or the substack app!

Thank you for doing this! Since leaving Instagram I've missed your videos.

I love these overviews, especially to get the great information and commentary, while able to keep a safer distance from Instagram. Thank you!!
Not happy with any of the Republicans
How much is the job market affected by the chaotic tarrif issue?
Just started listening. There is NO way he’s going to pay for the ballroom without getting something in return.

Loved listening to this - THANK YOU for your time!

I had zero prob w/playback…no changes in voice speed or anything during the duration. Clarity was noted👌
I love that you made this video…thank you! The whole hour is great..had to hit pause for a bit but that was great, too!
I shared w/some close friends & they enjoyed it immensely. So much info to take in, you are a beacon, Sharon.
Looking forward to Mon! I’d say SO looking forward but this president..pretty much ruined all caps for me😉
Maybe Mon you can address the Jack Smith/Hatch Act situation🤦🏻♀️
