300,000 people with clipboards beat a map Trump wanted. A librarian got paid. A citizen walked home. That’s not a vibe. That’s a week. Thank you for being here

I keep coming back to the pardon line. He walked out early on Jan. 6 and New York still had a courtroom waiting. That’s the part I needed this morning. Grateful this exists.

I am always cautious when it comes to predicting how the elections will go. That is why I am working even harder to ensure voters turn out to cast their vote! I want with all of my heart for Democrats to win in both the House and the Senate. If I could write an open letter to all of the candidates, I would say, "If you are elected, please when you go to Washington, ignore the lobbyist, corporations and oligarchs. Do not succumb to their temptations. Govern for the people who elected you. Hold the man in the White House accountable. Please do your job for the good of ALL Americans." Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!

Thank you for covering all the facts that matter most. I worry about some people getting over confident that they get distracted & don’t vote. If anyone reading this Substack knows anyone like that, please remind them we have to get everyone to vote in every election from now on because many Americans tend to get distracted. My voter registration was removed but I found our & it’s back & I’m not taking it for granted!

That's a great idea. We should all copy that statement and bombard every Democrat who wins their election with it, in bold letters, so it can be turned into posters to hang in their offices as a reminder of who they are actually working for.

Sounds great to me

Tess's avatar

Great news for sure! I feel Dems are gonna take it!!! Keep it up people!!!

I’ve been cautiously optimistic before, in past elections Tess. The odious cretins base has dissolved, yet we’re battling a billionaire class with cash and power aplenty. Let’s make sure everyone in our individual orbit gets out to vote!

Enjoying your verbiage. Smiling.... chuckling....'odious cretins' indeed.

Tess's avatar

Totally agree!!

I believe the Democrats will win the House and have a good chance to take the Senate and even Texas!

SeeRay's avatar

More hope for taking the House than the Senate, but there is still a good chance I think, to take both. Honestly, I don’t understand many people and their short term memories, willingness to believe lies, lack of morals and lack of ability to understand the negative impact of the GOP on our country. I’m still unable to understand how the orange criminal pedo made it to the White House twice! Please help everyone you know get to the polls to vote, vote early if possible or obtain an early absentee ballot. We need every single vote!

Republicans can only win when they cheat and lie

SeeRay's avatar

Agreed, but how is it that so many citizens fall for their BS and continue to support criminals who only make the lives of citizens worse? Who would ever support Paxton? I just don’t get it.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Nor do I, SeeRay. But, here's something to think about: statistics worldwide indicate that approximately 25 to 30% of people (all ages, ethnicities, etc) have mental health issues. Isn't it interesting that there are approximately 30% of Republicans who support trump and maga??? Just a thought for today...

I'll be voting in 43 days! Vote early people. We need to end the chaos. Thanks for the good news.

Thank you for the update--goes great with my coffee in the morning!

I'm leaning towards both chambers turning blue, but red cheating is so egregious that that I'm scared. They're TERRIFIED of losing power and then being held accountable for their horrific actions these last 2 years.

And if Dems control come January, we CAN'T do what we did under Biden and show mercy. We have to be tough. Fix the shit Rump has done FIRST so as not to alienate the new blue voters, but then charge, try, convict and imprison these people. Theyre not lawmakers, they're law BREAKERS.

And Scott, thank you for being so positive in such a scary environment. You are my bright spot every day.💙

Kathy's avatar

All of this Bon! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Adam's avatar

Agreed Bon. We go for the throat and end the threat for the foreseeable future (one hopes)!

Anita Dinsmore's avatar

I think we definitely take back the house and I think we have a chance at the Senate.
