Trump’s Favorite Fixer Sent to Visit Ghislane Maxwell. He defended Trump. Repped Manafort. Targeted Lev Parnas. What could possibly go wrong with Todd Blanche having this assignment? Maybe everything. 🔗 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/trump-enfo... cc: @LevParnas.bsky.social

For a mob movie it might make sense. But this is real life — and death.

Angela Paxton just handed scandal-ridden hubby Ken his lunch and his walking papers — on Twitter. My take on the biblical beatdown… and a guy who really doesn’t know when to shut up: 🔗 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/the-paxton...

Too many prominent Americans are selling out our democracy to stay on Trump’s good side. We need courage. Patrick Henry-level courage. My latest column: “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Space?” rayhartmann.substack.com/p/give-me-li... Paywalled, but worth $5 if you give a damn. Cancel anytime.

"Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Space?"
Too many prominent Americans are afraid to take risks by standing up to Trump. That could "give death" to democracy.

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t policy. It’s a screenplay. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of his Iran lies — and why he deserves a Nobel Prize in Gaslighting. rayhartmann.substack.com/p/donald-tru... #Trump #Iran #Gaslighting #Politics #Substack

Donald Trump for the Nobel Prize in Gaslighting
His whiplash lies about Iran showed he knows 'what the f* he's doing.' A day-by-day breakdown of the calculated chaos.

SCOTUS just upheld a cruel Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming healthcare for trans kids — even if they have support from their parents and doctors. It will enable 25 other states including Missouri to follow suit. It will cost lives. Here's my column: rayhartmann.substack.com/p/its-offici...

SCOTUS just upheld a state law that will undoubtedly cost lives and spread heartbreak

Missouri’s Mike Kehoe just sent in the National Guard. Not to stop violence. But to intimidate peaceful protestors. Here’s what that really means: 🔗 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/mike-kehoe...

BREAKING: ABC just fired Terry Moran—hours after suspending him for criticizing Stephen Miller. Trump demanded it. ABC caved. The First Amendment is under attack—and the networks are helping. I just wrote about it. Now he’s fired (no connection). 👉 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/tv-news-is...

TV networks are caving to Trump’s attacks on the press—not to defend journalism, but to protect billions in profits. My latest: ABC’s surrender. CBS’s hush money. The FCC in ruins. 👉 Read: rayhartmann.substack.com/p/tv-news-is...

I've been a journalist for more than 50 years. This is as chilling a sign as we've ever had that freedom of the press is dying in America. We should all stand with Terry Moran. Those in the news media who lack the guts to do so are complicit. www.cnn.com/2025/06/08/m...

Republicans are desperate to keep Biden on stage — to pummel him over his mental decline and distract from the Trump trainwreck. Too little, too late. He should’ve resigned a year ago. We wouldn’t be living today’s nightmare. 👉 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/republican...

Trump kicked off Pride Month by stripping Harvey Milk’s name from a Navy ship. One served with courage. The other dodged with “bone spurs.” My latest Substack is up now: 👉 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/keyboard-w... #HarveyMilk #PrideMonth #Trump

Trump’s going after Harvard. The WSJ says it’s just like Obama vs. Corinthian Colleges. It’s not. I wrote about the false equivalency—and yes, Two Corinthians makes an appearance. 🧼 rayhartmann.substack.com/p/sure-trump... #Trump #Harvard #WSJ #Corinthian #Media

Migrants aren’t here because of an invasion. They’re here because of an invitation — from U.S. companies that hire them illegally. Politicians don't care about immigration – they enjoy the show. And they lack the guts to face the powerful breaking the law. rayhartmann.substack.com/p/want-to-fi...

🎬 “Ambush That Foreign Leader” — now streaming from the White House. Trump turned the Oval Office into a Reality TV studio — complete with propaganda, fawning acolytes, and a strangely silent Elon Musk. Full post: rayhartmann.substack.com/p/ambush-tha... #Trump #OvalOffice
