I just loved Jeff Jackson's newsletter today. Made me want to move to North Carolina! Sad that he was gerrymandered out of his district. Will be supporting his becoming AG, for sure.

Wishing you and yours a great holiday break. I'm embarrassed to discover that Chanukkah started and ended - without me!

Simon Rosenberg at Hopkinson here on Substack is arranging a massive effort to help NC next year. There is also a governor’s race and of course winning the state for Biden (only lost by about 1 point in 2020). Come join us help Jeff and all of NC next year!

Yes! We are all going to be putting a lot of energy there this year. Very exciting.

Thank you, Heather! You too! Although I’m sure you’ll have heard from me a few times between now and then.

Yes! Now here’s hoping he actually has to pay it.

You got your wish Jess- Xmas miracles do happen!!! 🥳🎄🎉

Yes they do!

This just in: Rudy must pay $148 million! I doubt those poor people will see much of the money but the deterrence effect of this and other civil/criminal prosecutions of the coup plotters is invaluable.

I agree.

Could you let Jeff Jackson know that someone on Substack is using the forum to try and scam people. I made a comment on how I wish more people like him would run for office. Someone posing sent me a reply:

Sad, but there are people that will bite.

Did you report the comment? That's the best way to make Substack aware. Those scammers are obviously making the rounds of all the big accounts. Super annoying.

Expand full comment

Yes. I reported it. It is annoying and I worry some will bite. Thought I would alert you as well, I know you read your comments.

Thanks for all you do and don’t know how you stay on top of all this!

Wanted to recommend the following. Jessica, you may already be aware of this:

Ooh looks great! Thank you!

Jessica, you write: " I know he’s broke, but still, it would be a holiday gift to us all if he got hit with a walloping amount. I feel cautiously optimistic he will."

Is there no chance that the Great Grifter, out of a sense of loyalty, would come forward and grift a few million for Rudy?

Expand full comment

No. Chance. The Great Grifter only grifts for himself.

Jessica, true, "the Great Grifter only grifts for himself." Proving that he is the most hollow creature in the entire universe. I hope that science gets his brain to study. They can search and search and search but they will not find a gene that has anything to do with morality or empathy.
