George Santos just told Dana Bash that prison “left a bad taste in [his] mouth.” I bet it did!

At my local #NoKings rally, I saw peace, unity, and love — not the “hate America” Republicans claim. There are tens of millions of us who still believe in this country … and that gives me hope. 🇺🇸 open.substack.com/pub/jonhyman...

I am proud to have been 1 of 3,500(!) to show up and protest #NoKings in Strongsville, Ohio — a red city that Trump won in 2024 with 58% of the vote.

Trump’s Smithsonian Purge: Rewriting History, One Gallery Label at a Time
From my 8th grade class trip to walking the halls with my own kids, the Smithsonian has been a national time capsule of truth. Now, the White House is demanding curators replace history with ideology.

When my kids were little, one of my favorite books to read to them was “He Came With the Couch” by David Slonim. It’s a hilarious story about a family that brings home a new couch, only to discover it comes with a mysterious blue creature already sitting on it. I think it’s time for a sequal.

White Christian Nationalism isn’t fringe—it’s a growing political ideology that threatens democracy from within. It's about power, not faith. And history has a warning: Hitler used religion the same way—to sanctify authoritarian rule. I break it down here ⬇️ jonhyman.substack.com/p/the-cross-...

First they changed the laws. Then they changed who counts as American. Stripping birthright citizenship. Targeting naturalized Americans. Rewriting “We the People” to mean fewer of us. Sound familiar? Nazi Germany did this in 1935. This is how it starts. jonhyman.substack.com/p/first-they...
