I had a good chat with @hcrichardson.bsky.social about my new book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America," noting that by helping Trump become POTUS, Putin mounted the most successful covert operation in modern history. For more on the book: HowRussiaWon.com.

THE INCREDIBLES is a movie where the parents insisted that their children not express who and what they actually were, and it was the children rebelling against them and letting their true selves out that literally saved everyone's lives and their relationships with one another.

Letters from an American July 21, 2026 Full letter available here: heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p… @hcrichardson.bsky.social

The front page of Monday’s New York Times featured some of the 440,000 Americans from Arizona alone who have lost Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits since the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act made the deepest cuts to SNAP in its history, expanded work rules, and shifted costs to the states even as cuts to federal grant programs have forced Arizona to lay off a third of its caseworkers. Those Arizona residents include Dee McDonald, a 65-year-old cancer survivor who weighs 69 pounds and skips meals to feed her three teenaged grandsons.

SNAP falls under the Department of Agriculture, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins celebrates the cuts, claiming the program is rife with fraud. Like other Republicans, she cites error rates. But error rates usually reflect mistakes in classification numbers by caseworkers, not fraudulent use of services. Yesterday Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told reporters the federal government is withholding more than a billion dollars in Medicaid funding from California and Minnesota, saying they want to see proof that payments there aren’t fraudulent.

In the Denver Post yesterday, Executive Director of the Association of National Park Rangers Bill Wade wrote that, “Never—not once in decades—have I witnessed such systematic degradation, disrespect and dismantling of the National Park Service as I see today under the thumb of the President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.” The Trump administration has slashed staff, starved the service of funds, and imposed a political narrative on historical interpretation. At the same time that the federal government is cutting programs that benefit the public, it is also privatizing systems that the government has been managing.

Monday Justin Doubleday of the Federal News Network reported that Des Moines International Airport and Tampa International Airport have opted into the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) new privatization model for airport screening. Congress created the TSA after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Before then, individual airlines contracted with private security firms to screen passengers and baggage, but the 9/11 attacks showed that this private system had dangerous vulnerabilities. Now the Trump administration is resurrecting that system.

this week, MAGA lost their fucking minds when they were advised to avoid breathing wildfire smoke. also, Nosferatu McGoebbels is a hideous piece of shit and Jesse Watters thinks rape jokes are hilarious. it's all in my 'this week in stupid,' thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4yuUOsr

and this, my friends, is the difference between freedom and free dumb.

freedom is the ability to live your life as you see fit. free dumb is doing stupid shit specifically because someone asks you not to.

this is why so many of these dumbfucks died during covid — because nobody tells MAGA what to do.

so go for it, Eric. step outside and breathe deeply. fill your chest with all that smokey goodness. mmm, feel that tightness? that overwhelming urge to cough up a lung? that’s free dumb!

and while you’re at it, go play in traffic. that’ll really stick it to The Man.
