In Conversation with April Ryan
I had the opportunity to speak with journalist extraordinaire and the longest-serving Black White House correspondent, April Ryan. April and I talked the state of American journalism and the trauma involved in pursuing that profession during Donald’s time in office, and we reminisced about School...

Coffee with Katie Phang, Joyce Vance, and Me!
JOYCE Did you see yesterday Pete Hegseth had this supposed Christian nationalist pastor to offer Christian prayer at the Pentagon? This is a guy who’s on record saying that the constitutional amendment that guarantees the three of us, all women, the right to vote it should be repealed. So, my...

Raising Our Voices
As I wrote at the beginning of the week Ronda Cress, my wife (!) started a Substack recently called The Little Girl with the Big Voice. Two days ago, she launched a new interview series called “Big Voice Wednesdays.” I had the great pleasure of being her first guest. It was a little odd sitting…

In Conversation with Steven Beschloss
MARY: Steven, it’s really good to see you because I need some help figuring out what in the world is going on. As you’re probably aware, it feels as bad as 2025 was. It feels like America basically fell off a cliff on January 1st, 2026. STEVEN: I actually was out of the country until Friday…

Mary Trump in Conversation with Adam Parkhomenko
MARY Hello everybody. I’m with my friend Adam Parkhomenko. Adam has one of my favorite Substacks, The Alt Media. It’s fantastic and it’s hysterically funny just when you think the news is so bad that there is no humor to be found. ADAM We make it worse with curses. MARY Well, that’s one of my...

Mary Trump in Conversation with Ruth Ben- Ghiat
MARY: Hello everybody. It’s Mary Trump here with the great Ruth Ben-Ghiat and, luckily for me, my friend. Hi Ruth, how are you? RUTH: Hi Mary. I’m really glad to be in conversation. MARY: Especially as we are ending what has been what feels like perhaps the longest year we’ve lived through. Does...

Mary Trump Live with Katie Phang
MARY: Hey, who’s here? It is the awesome Katie Phang. Katie, this week has been a millennium. At 10 o’clock on Monday morning I thought, it has to be Friday because we don’t have weekends anymore, do we? KATIE: Yes, you are correct. You used to feel like you got some respite from the insanity of...

MARY: Hey everybody. Look who’s here. Yes, indeed. It is the most awesome Joyce Vance who, as most of you know, has a brilliant Substack called ... What is it called? What’s it called? Oh shit. Civil Discourse. Civil Discourse. And you know the reason I got tripped up because I remember when you...

The Daily Wrap-Up
There are two headlines on the front page of the New York Times today that got me thinking. The first is “U.S. Military Attacked a Boat off of Venezuela, Killing Four Men,” this is according to the “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth, a tough guy who sports white nationalist tattoos. The second…

Mary Trump Live
America’s toxic masculinity crisis was on full display today when Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense or, as he likes to say, Secretary of War, stood up in front of a room full of generals, admirals, and other senior military brass and lectured them about what it meant to be a real man. Hegseth...

Mary Trump Live
It is one of the great ironies of the American government that the Senate is one of the least democratic institutions in the country. This has become increasingly the case as the filibuster, which is an old racist tool that was ostensibly implemented in order to encourage bipartisanship, has...

Mary Trump Live
In 1961, Twilight Zone episode aired called “It’s a Good Life”. In it, Billy Mumy plays a seven-year-old boy who lives with his family on an isolated farm in Ohio. But the same people, all adults, are always in the house with them. These presumably neighbors from other farms. Despite the bucolic...

Mary Trump Live
These are indeed the times that try men souls, because an assault on one of us, especially one person in particular, is an assault on us all. This week we have learned that not one, not two, but three horrors occurred at the U.N. It was indeed triple sabotage. And in the event you think I’m not...

Mary Trump Live
Remember that Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, and Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Leader in the House, wrote a sternly worded letter to Donald demanding a meeting. Why? Well, because Schumer is desperate to avoid a government shutdown he believes he would be blamed for, which is an absurd...

Mary Trump Live
In what I have no doubt was a sternly worded letter, Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries demanded a meeting with Donald as if that’s going to be effective. We learned about this during Schumer’s interview this weekend with Dana Bash. She opened...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
Today the home and office of John Bolton were raided by the FBI. Bolton was head of the NSA during the first Trump administration, at least for a while. He is currently one of Donald's perceived political enemies. When asked if he knew ahead of time that the FBI was going to be raiding Bolton's...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
The courts will save us. How many times have we heard that? The courts will do the right thing and uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. They will uphold the rule of law even against a regime that seems hellbent on dismantling both the rule of law and the...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
Going to start with a quote, a post on a certain person's failing social media platform. See if you can guess who wrote this grotesque piece of work: “The museums throughout Washington but all over the country are essentially the last remaining segment of woke. The Smithsonian is out of control....

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
Present by extension, the Republican party's incursion into voting rights and basically the American people's faith in free and fair elections continues apace. He took to his failing social media platform, I believe it was early this morning, and wrote a very long rant about mail-in voting. He is...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
What are we losing sight of? What are we losing track of? So much going on constantly. It's all, quite frankly, alarming to one degree or another. But one thing we don't talk enough about is the extent to which the Trump regime has as one of its primary missions erasure. They don't just want to...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
There’s so much going on and this is the troubling thing. It’s not a question of sifting out the important from the unimportant, the potentially devastating from the inconsequential. It’s a question of making sure we realize that most of what’s going on right now, by design, is...
-
Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
In a shocking turn, the New York Times published an opinion piece under the headline: “Is There a Smart Way to Cede Power to Donald Trump?” Let me repeat that. Is there a smart way to cede power to Donald Trump? Excuse me? Is there a smart way to destroy democracy? Is there a smart way to cave to...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
Donald Trump claims to be a scratch golfer. When he was a child, he supposedly displayed such extraordinary musical talent that, had he pursued it, he could have become “the most brilliant musician in the history of everything.” He got into the University of Pennsylvania, we're told, entirely on...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
I've been thinking a lot about resistance lately. What is it? Is it just one thing? Or does it depend on your circumstances, your position, or maybe even your attitude? The truth is, resistance is not a single concept—it’s multifaceted, and it absolutely depends on those factors. For elected...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
Let’s talk about credibility. Does someone convicted of sex trafficking minors have any? Imagine this scenario: a person serving a lengthy prison sentence for sex trafficking minors—who was also the accomplice and co-conspirator of the notorious rapist and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein—suddenly...
-
Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
This afternoon, we finally got the confirmation many of us have long suspected: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files—and he’s known it for months. According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald’s name appears multiple times in documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, as confirmed by senior administration...

LIVE: Mary Trump RESPONDS to BREAKING NEWS
The High Cost of Incompetence: Floods, Racism, and a Regime in Collapse By Mary Trump I've been thinking a lot lately about professionalism, competence, and the simple concept of professional pride. Why do we choose to go to certain professionals? Why do we seek referrals for doctors, lawyers, or...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
[Transcript edited for flow and clarity]Two things can be true at once. On the one hand, we can have good things happening, and on the other hand, even those good things may not be as good as they at first seem. So we know that Donald keeps losing in court—not all the time. We heard recently that…

Dodgers Defy ICE, Donald Two Weeks, and Happy Juneteenth!
[Transcript edit for readability] Earlier, I was reading the news, as I often do, and I was trying to think of something I want to talk about tonight, and I honestly blanked. Because sometimes—you may be able to relate to this—sometimes it feels like the news is just bad, right? Now, I understand...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
[Transcript edited for flow and clarity]I don't know if you remember this, but when we were kids, we were told that our leaders should be people we could look up to and actually aspire to be, right? Don't get me wrong. In my lifetime, there haven't been that many presidents I've admired or looked...

Today’s Top Political News with Mary Trump
[Transcript edited for clarity and flow.] Hello everybody, and welcome to this episode of Mary Trump Live. It is wonderful to have you with us. It really does look as if Donald Trump, because of a combination of ignorance, hubris, incompetence, and the fact that he's so easily manipulable, is...

Mary Trump Live
[Transcript edited for flow and clarity.] One of the many reasons we're where we are right now at this point in American history is that for reasons that remain beyond my comprehension, everything always breaks Donald Trump's way. This has been true since the 1960s and it continues to be true....
