Excellent news all around -- and, as an aside, I want to say that this editor really, really likes the stylish headings on incoming emails. I can tell at a glance what the big topics are and prioritize them according to my interests.

Yay!!!! Love to hear that.

Seeing the 56 Teamsters in St. Louis stand strong for 83 days and win every single key protection is such an inspiring reminder of labor/people power.

With Delaware stepping up after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, state-level wins are stacking up. Keep the pressure on! Thanks for your reporting, Scott!

Letitia James is a hero! She has accomplished so much in defense of our democracy and its leaders.

We all need to hold on and keep resisting, especially by voting and then by insisting that our votes have counted.

Patti Scott's avatar

I wish ms James was around when HE was grifting New Yorkers, maybe she could have had him locked up and we wouldn’t be in this mess today

The New York Daily News and Jimmy Breslin could not have written more about what a CHEAT, CON MAN, LIAR, BIGOT and THIEF was, never mind his ROY COHN tactics.

I will continue to fault VOTERS for their ignorance!

The INTERNET was working and voters could have looked up information.

This is under APPEAL. The verdict was not vacated.

Will the same ignorance continue to prevail?

She is a fierce, intelligent, and strong American. I totally admire Leticia James.

I’m so excited by this. Sharing with my daughter who is involved in her union and working hard for justice. Such an encouragement!!! And once again, thank you Scott♥️

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thanks Ann!

Love to hear it

Please let her know that she has a lot of people who think like she does and are fighting the same fight... we gotta stick together, and WE WILL!

Sam Jones's avatar

The North Carolina numbers are massive. Staying in the fight matters. We aren't backing down—onward to November.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Oh, yeah... and that IS a big day brightener!

Thanks, Scott, for the update... keep on keepin' on!

Theodora's avatar

Onward! as Scott says!

It's frightening and very wrong that only 100 Senators and 435 Representatives in Congress, hold the fate of 340 million People in this country along with the rest of the world's population, in their hands. BIG money controls our government, it controls our economy and it's trying desperately to control us.

People do know that something is wrong with our government. But many don't know what is wrong or why.

Lorraine's avatar

Well said! This is exactly the message that needs to get out to all the people not engaged or paying attention.

Great start to our week, Scott! You and your team are the tops! Leticia James is a super hero, no cape or fancy ads to speak for her! She knows that the rule of law and the Constitution are for the people, not the few with $$$!

With Texas and North Carolina getting steamy, we need to work on the other close races...to stay positive and push forward to November for a HUGE voter turnout.

NM is turning up the heat on their courts to get that vital info about that Zorro ranch. What a surprise that Blanch is in the Trumpstein files 😳

Tomorrow's TACO 🌮 Tuesday, what will DonOld flip on this time?

Sandy S's avatar

TACO Trump is starting to look more like a YO-YO on the Iran War. Around and around he goes from all out war, to nothing!?!? This is leadership?

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome: that IS the definition of insanity.

Linda Nemeth's avatar

He is so drowning in all his illegal schemes, he will be lucky to die before he has to start actually paying for his defense. There has never been a more vile politician.

It's possibly criminal that Congress and the Supreme Court have enabled him to gut our formerly great Constitution.

At the very least, make his estate and entitled kids pay till it hurts and beyond.

Denise Lowe's avatar

As we get closer to November, I am getting more and more nervous. I have to believe we can take out these people, but I know that this regime will cheat to get their way. The Dems have to stand firm and not be distracted.

My husband has been a union member, acting as a union steward for many years. Admittedly, when we first got together over 40 years ago, I was not a huge fan of unions. As a young couple, I was not thrilled that union dues were automatically deducted from his paycheck on a weekly basis --- money that we could use to pay bills. However, I now am a huge supporter of unions as I have seen the tremendous value of union representation against greedy corporations who abuse their workers to benefit their botton line. People Over Corporations!! ✊️✊️

Confident is the word I choose for NC Senate. Confident is also my choice for mid-term election.

A few days ago the NRCC called me asking for money to fight the "lying media". It said I could have then mot call again. I said nothing, thinking..."If they spend time and money talking to me... better than

actually getting a Trumper on the line,,, fine for me.

This morning I got a desperate sounding man asking if he could keep sending me information about

the Republicans. I said "Fine" with the same goal in mind.

On other occasions I have berated them but now my goal it to make them waste time and money on calling me. It's not a lot but it cheered me up a bit.

AND KUDOS to the union members. As I was growing up there was sort of a look down on unions.

But I've learned how necessary they are to fight the corporations. When you see CEOs leaving office with really Golden Parachutes of millions ... you have to know there is a great deal of profits being

made by workers. I hope Amazon gets the union they want. At the Met Gala last May they were standing outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art saying Amazon didn't allow them bathroom breaks.

Corporations have to realize they must treat their workers fairly and humanly..

Sam Jones's avatar

Wow. That’s awesome.

Isn't Whatley who Donald hyped in *Nevada* as a candidate for governor?

Sam Jones's avatar

Hahahaha that’s correct

SIGH......

Do you follow Heather Cox Richardson? We should all send copies of her letter for yesterday to Congress, the Cabinet, and SCOTUS...remind them what living under a Constitution looks like.

Sam Jones's avatar

Of course! She’s awesome!!

HarrisWalz FTW 2024's avatar

I thought you probably did, but one never knows.

Patti Scott's avatar

I feel good about the way the polls are shifting but I don’t dare take anything for granted. I hope we have a blowout in 85 days because I want all the grifting, the illegal pardons, monuments we don’t want or need TO STOP!

Pam Birkenfeld's avatar

Polls are of varying quality but they can tell us a direction, but never let up. We must vote like Hungarians, 77 %%! overwhelming numbers of votes can defeat cheating.

It’s up to Americans to go to the poles in November and kick these corrupt politicians out of office and never fall for the lies that put them there in the first place!
