1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Everything thrown at us is a cover up Trump's decomposing and we all want to see the Epstein files
Each thing thrown at us is a cover-up for the last thing thrown at us.
Exactly...layer after layer after layer
Doesn't say where this is, but the law at issue is unconstitutional, not least bc it bars her from complying with the law she's been ordered to comply with in order to avoid an imminent $300 fine. Guessing there's an atty in her area willing to file TRO petition pro bono. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8B74Nuo/
Gish galloping is his specialty
All the distractions, appeals, power grabs, will not change the fact that there is no statute of limitations on sex crimes against minors...
Please STOP posting that trump is doing this, trump is planning that! We know it is really the project 2O25 Oligarchy regime, & trump is their puppet! Say it!
TY. I know this is true, but it is still overwhelming. 😔🍀
I try to make it a little bit, less, overwhelming, by breaking it down for you. Hope this will help.
It helps tremendously Thank you
Thank you, Joyce. We are all grateful for all that you do. It makes a huge difference. 🙏🏻❤️
You really do make this craziness understandable. I appreciate you.
We appreciate you!
You are a national treasure.
She is!!
Thank you! Looking forward to your book release! 🌸
Trump’s BS lawsuits/appeals are wasting lots of our tax money! He should have to pay all the court costs!
He’s the most litigious person in America…and would have been broke long ago.

Thank you Joyce. Much appreciated.
Joyce, love reading Civil Discourse it is always so informative and written so I can easily understand. Also, so appreciative that you don't leave the reader hanging in mid sentence. Thank you.💞💞💙💙

His strategy always works. People have forgotten about Epstein. SC will allow the illegal tariffs.
I suggest folks pick a handful of candidates and causes they feel strongly about and support the people and organizations doing the heaviest lifting to save democracy. This includes Dem candidates in every state, Democracy Docket, Meidas group, and all indi journalists and NPs helping immigrants.

2/ GOP gerrymandering fever moves to Missouri, where the Republican governor is willing to strip voting fights from citizens of his own state in service to Trump.
We need to RECOUNT ALL 2024 ELECTION PAPER BALLOTS. A L L of them.
3/ Trump tried to deport unaccompanied children overnight on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. A federal judge entered an injunction for the entire class of kids affected. You’ll want to know all the details & I’ve broken down the complaint for you: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
An immoral president cannot be trusted to protect minors from sexual abuse.
4/ Tariffs. This decision was a big loss for the administration. Next stop the Supreme Court.
If we had a Court made up of honest judges that respected the constitution & legal precedent this would be a slam dunk in favor of striking down Trumps illegal tariffs, but with the corrupt, arrogant six that we have now, who knows. That bunch might reverse engineer another unconstitutional decision
5/ Trump‘s attempt to fire Lisa Cook from the Fed continues. The Fed is insulated by statute from the whims of a president for precisely this reason. Trump wants the Fed to do his bidding, but the economists there are using their expertise, not his need for political wins, to guide the economy.
6/ If you’ve made it this far, you’d probably like my newsletter, Civil Discourse, and you can subscribe for free. Cut through the noise. Understand what’s really happening—and why it matters. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
I feel like we are being led, through barbed wire, to the sewer waters of a senile human goldfish, kissing kind at that, to suffocate under the boulders of lies.
thank you, you do great work
Trump wants to destroy the independence of the Fed and bend it to his will. He’s also seizing control of corporations like Intel. What could possibly go wrong with a lying, serial bankrupt grifter having total control of the economy???🙄
It’s all so much. 😞
Clarity for the voters is BS. He just wants a Republican autocracy which is what we currently have and are fighting against.

This week will be a shitshow as Trumptydumpty rolls out “SQUIRREL” “SHINY OBJECT” of idiocy to distract over & over. It’s all about Epstein survivors testifying. Trump is on the list
If he’s alive and well, which appears questionable.
"Weekend at Donnie's"? 👉🏼 FWIW the alt-text is my longest ever.
Yes, my family is! So horrible! So awful!
Not that it matters bigly, but him saying he has "the right" rather than the power.. stands out to me.
I'm not overwhelmed by the volume of news. I'm disturbed by the repeated evidence that his terrible policies are proceeding apace, the guardrails are gone and there's little that can or is being done to stop it.
Thank you Joyce for keeping all of us informed and focused on what really matters when there is so much incoming that heads spin.
Because he truly doesn't understand being a functioning adult.
America engaged in one illegal war after another, and lost. Afghanistan and Iraq were especially brutal. Now in USA everything we depend on is being destroyed in this strange takeover. I think the two are connected.
Disagree. The fast pace is because of his large, gaping, need-hole that requires constant filling. He doesn't want tune out. He wants constant attention. By flooding the zone he keeps the attention on whatever he wants attention on. The result is that many DO turn out.
I try to push positivity, but with one foot always in reality. And I sure can’t disagree with your thorny opinion. Also, I must add, “need-hole” is a definite keeper! So perfect
Don’t let yourself get burnt out. If you have to turn off the news and get off Social Media for a few days do it. It can be too much. Do what you can and take breaks when you need to. Come back when you can. There are enough of us out here to take up the slack for a while. Just don’t give up.
All of this nonsense must STOP! trump is ruining the country!
the court DID NOT say he can do whatever he wants-his immunity is for all official acts - which is outrageous BUT the key is 'official acts' - in no regard, arguably, can criminal acts, acts harmful to the union, acts in contravention of our rule of law or constitution, be oficial presidential acts
I don't tune out, but I often don't understand the implications of decisions made based on reading them. So I rely on summaries/explanations like yours to make sense of them. Thank you!
Delusional Donny
The right to do anything I "want" to do. Not... anything that needs to be done! This is the kind of language that a toddler, who has never seen consequences for his actions, would use!
Hopefully no one gets hurt or worse. He likes to provoke.
Gee, that also means that according to the Supreme Court, ANY president has the right to do what they want. Including a Democrat in the NEXT administration! Somehow that makes me feel a bit better about surviving Armageddon in Trump’s disaster of a second and last term.
Not just 47 but his cronies.
My Congressman was taken from me and honestly, I'm not sure enough people are pissed off about that. Maybe I should give up caring if no one else does.
We care. Lots of us.
Thank you Joyce for keeping us informed and updated! We need voices like yours that are factual and credible!
Release the Epstein files, all of it!
Release the #Epsteinfiles

When following threads on the health of DJT, remember that Putin has been "dying" of the same illness for ten years, to keep his adversaries from standing up to him in a united fashion. Trump has learned a lot from Putin. Has to be killing him not to golf though.
Epstein? All but disappeared.
Be great with Alt-Text.
Gish Galloping news which gives me some understanding President Biden’s debate.
What’s also frightening is mainstream news unwillingness to cover Trump as he is. They whitewash his actions, not cover them.
