Two focuses for today!

**Yosemite.** A Nevada developer wants a strip of the park for a private road. 1,172 letters in the first three days. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-stop-trumps-yosemite-giveaway

**Mail voting.** Hearing is Thursday, and ballots are already going out in some states. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-protect-our-use-of-voting-by-mail-and-voting-machines/

Thank you Scott for all this great news! I just came back from a 12-day camping trip to South Dakota & Wyoming. I camped at the Badlands which is breathtaking & went to Yellowstone National Park & that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The natural waterfalls, the mountains & all the wild animals I saw. Even though I haven’t been to Yosemite I can’t understand why having a developer put in a trail thru beautiful pristine land that is for all of us to enjoy, would even be considered! There must be something in it for tRump. But anyway I sent in my letters and like you say “ONWARD”!

My dearly departed veteran husband toured the Badlands and Yellowstone. It is my wish to go there myself one day and see it all for myself.

They dropped new rejection rules in North Carolina the same morning the first ballots went out. Cooper is ahead anyway. That’s not a reason to get quiet. That’s a reason to check your registration and tell two people.

There are quite a number of other Republican officeholders, past and present, who ought to be sitting with Bevins in a jail cell!

Name ONE who shouldn't.

Charlie Baker, Massachusetts governor from 2015 to 2023. The MA Republican Party didn't go full MAGA till after he was elected to a second term. Also Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger of the 1/6 committee. I guess you didn't watch any of that?

Thank you for being here on a holiday morning. If you’ve got one extra click in you, restack this for the person in your feed who thinks nobody ever wins these fights. They need the proof more than we do.

In Michigan we voted to make it easier to vote in 2018. During Covid I went to mail in voting. However I never mailed my ballot. I took it directly to our city clerk. If we don't get our ballots, I will do early voting for the Midterms.

I'm doing early voting this time around for the first time in my life. Once I do, I will lean on EVERYONE that I know to do the same. Get some unassailable numbers up.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union helped support my friends when their infant daughter was terribly ill.

At the moment, Jared Kushner ranks high on my list of evil inhuman beings for visiting Russia several times, and when he finally managed to get to Ukraine, spoke favorably to Zelensky about Russia (!!!!!!!) Of course, Trump is at the top of the heap, as is Marco Rubio for being among the most craven, fame-seeking hypocrites ever . Enough for now- but there are many more. Essentially, the entire Cabinet, Musk for helping Trump get elected ,and JD Vance for his “discovering” religion in a way that no one else can recognize.

My son is President of IBEW Local One and I thank you for your support of them. They have helped many people struggling through difficult times.

Jared has obviously taken lessons from his father, Charles.

Ask Chris Christie about Charles Kushner.

The whole lot of them are cut from the same cloth of corruption and deceit.

Yes when I joined the Union. We were making 10.20 in 2010. Now here in Oregon we have step program. So I now make closer to 24.00 an hour. I’m a Homecare worker. But the big stupid bill. Could cut my client off with Medicaid cuts. A lot of people are going to be hurt. I worry about the clients that absolutely need help. Democrats need to stop this from happening. So everyone has to vote. ✌🏻💙✊🏻🇺🇸

Keep an eye on those young folk. They are going places.

Our (School District) Office & Technical Employees had a strong union. They protected our seniority system for advancement, found me an equal-level job when a new supervisor rewrote the requirements of the job I was in to hire a less-qualified (and less costly) employee, and paid me excellent benefits including paying into an annuity when I didn't need to pay health plan premiums. There was a clause in the contract that whatever the Teachers got, O&T got. Genius! Strong unions keep workers, who work harder when they feel respected.

Lock up the regime from top to bottom, all the 1/6 offenders, the Trumpstein files assaulters, and the senators and congresspeople who refused to acknowledge the 2020 loss. The Supremes as well, those who got in by lying,Kavanaugh the prime example! Less than 60 days now! Good trouble, folks! Let's do it!

Never trust the Red Court. States need to be ready.
