FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | December 10, 2020 “With the end of the destructive Trump presidency in sight and with a new normal presidency coming soon, there is hope for the future.” President Trump is putting lives in danger in his closing days in office as he rants about how he won an election that […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | December 3, 2020 “Trump can use his tens of millions of leadership PAC dollars for anything he wants.” President Trump likes to use superlatives about everything he does, and they are invariably false claims. In the case of his current fundraising, however, he is entitled to a true superlative: Trump […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | November 19, 2020 “On January 20, 2021, Trump will be gone, and with him, his authoritarian attacks on the democracy and republic our Founders gave us.

FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | November 12, 2020 “The battle to enact H.R. 1 will continue full speed ahead – for as long as it takes – to repair our democracy.” History makes clear that fundamental change does not come easily or happen quickly.

FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | October 22, 2020 “Trump would like to succeed King George III as the first dictator of the United States.

FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | October 15, 2020 “McConnell’s day as the czar of the Senate may be ending soon.

FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | October 8, 2020 “Attorney General Barr is a dangerous man without a moral compass and without any perceivable commitment to the rule of law.” This week the Trump/Barr parade of horrors continued. Donald Trump ranted and raved; Attorney General William Barr continued to grossly abuse his office. Barr and Trump […]
FRED WERTHEIMER’S WEEKLY NOTE | October 1, 2020 “The explanation for the President’s crazed efforts is simple.
