Very interesting read about Nebraska, but also about Missouri. Dems have got to fight in some of these red states, and these seem like good ones. And think how glorious it would be to send Josh Hawley packing. I do worry, though about the disapproval numbers on R Senators--I just can't help thinking that some of that disapproval is that they aren't MAGA enough for some of the voters, and so they need to be taken with a grain of salt. I think the strategy in NE of running as an independent is an interesting one.
Yeah I think it’s the only way to maybe win—think about how close that one guy got in Utah in 2022. I look forward to hearing about the gentleman from Nebraska.
Hi Jess, I want to do more to fight for reproductive freedom and amplify voices the majority voice, especially before the Court rules on the Mifepristone case. Can you point to specific actions we can take now and/or organizations that can use volunteers? I donate to many Repro rights groups but need to act to feel hope. Thanks in advance for your work!
I'd check with plancpills.org -- they're fantastic and they have volunteer ambassadors. Beyond that honestly the best thing we can do for reproductive freedom is to support Democrats. Everywhere they hold majorities abortion is protected. And if we can only hold the House and Senate and flip Sinema's seat to Gallego we can get rid of the filibuster and pass a law codifying abortion. So help us win elections!
Hi Jessica, I wanted to let you know I am volunteering now with Bluewave Postcard Movement https://shop.bluewavepostcards.org/. Sending voter registration postcards to low propensity and likely progressive voters in key swing states. What I like about this is that we are registering new voters NOW ( expanding voter access and participation) and then we can work to GOTV in the fall. Many voter registration deadlines are coming up soon so this work in critical. We are doing a voter registration campaign in Arizona right now. It is easy to order the well-designed postcards which come with the mailing labels and we provide the stamps. I hope you can share this opportunity with your readers- especially those interested in protecting reproductive freedom. Thanks!
Yes! I love Blue Wave! I order from them for my hub all the time! In fact I believe I have Montana cards from them right now. I haven't put them in the newsletter recently but should.
I'm hopeful that all the recent uncivil, antii-human decency and partisan moves the MAGA right is pulling will sink them big time in 2024..Hillary was using precise English when she described the whole lot as deplorables.
It would have been worse if the Supreme Court hadn’t taken the case. Please read this Substack post from today:
Supreme Court takes up cases over eased access to medication abortion drug
The justices also denied review in the underlying challenge to the FDA's 2000 approval of mifepristone — meaning the drug will remain available going forward.
Hi Jessica, I got a "like" from you this morning and a note that said to contact you on Telegram@Jessic......### . If this was for real, let me know. Investment, finanial stuff is usually a hack or phishn thing. Anyway, good morning.
Hi, I want to ensure Joe Biden wins the election in 2024 and think the Dems are making a huge political mistake by not talking about what they want to do about the border. There IS a problem at the border and many independent swing voters may get the impression the Dems don't care since all they hear about is that the Republicans want to do something but the Dems object. Obviously I don't want Biden to agree to draconian immigration policies but they need to start speaking out on what the Dems DO WANT to do about the border - otherwise the Rs are just steamrolling over us on this issue and I think it could hurt Biden and downticket Dems come November 2024.
I did call all my congressional representatives and leaders yesterday to voice this opinion.

Please join Focus for Democracy for its final event of 2023 this Sunday, Dec 17th at 5pmPT/8pmET. This event is about driving early money to evidence-based programs that that are poised to generate the most votes in 2024. Plus, a generous donor has offered to match ALL pledges from this event! Opportunities will be presented that let your year-end giving have an outsized impact on next year’s election.
I ignored the spam message. It didn't sound even remotely like you. By the time I read your post, half of the East Coast has already seen it, so I figured you had been made aware of the bogus message.
I would like to suggest that we begin flooding the phones on the most vulnerable Republican House Representatives, letting them know that we are coming after them as they have just voted to for this farcical impeachment inquiry. Of particular note are those in the NY state districts who are most vulnerable, like Anthony Esposito, Michael Lawler and Marc Molinaro. Tell them they just made a huge mistake.

Indeed she was.
Yes.
Deplorable is far too mild a descriptor for the radical extreme MAGA people.
And I reported it as Phishing. We gotta keep our eyes open.
Yes thank you!

I actually think you're exactly correct and am working to get this message to the Biden team.

Oh we will.
How do we report Spam on Substack. I received the same financial come on supposedly from Robert Hubbell and didn’t know what to do.
