Oh dear! I hope you recover quickly!! Rest up. I love Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat tea with lots of honey when I am sick.

I registered for Simon Rosenberg's briefing tomorrow. Those are so great and they kept me sane throughout the midterms. In case anyone missed it, Simon is shuttering NDN (New Democrat Network) after almost 30 years. He will address this momentous transition in tomorrow's briefing, but you can also read about it in today's article from the Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/democratic-strategist-simon-rosenberg-ndn-new-democratic-network/673182/

Feel better soon! 🤒

(I found hot Countrytime Lemonade (the one with sugar) in a mug great during a cold or flu.)

My daughter, confirmed flu type A, recovered incredibly quickly. Hope you do, too.

And I’m not kidding: drink hot Tang. Gives you vitamin C, which our bodies don’t store, nice steam for opening nasal passages, and it makes your hands feel good when you wrap your hands around the nice, hot cup.

You go rest. We’ll handle it from here! 💙💙💙

David Pepper has occasionally been mentioned in your column. He is a resident of OH, former chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party and author of several books including "Laboratories of Autocracy: A Wake-Up Call from Behind the Lines. 2021." He writes on substack too and has excellent insight into OH politics.

Get well soon. If the chicken soup doesn't work there's always bourbon; mixed with lemon, local honey and hot tea. Sleep well.

“Restricting the expansion of executive power over spending authorities and leadership vacancies”

Your tips have made it much easier and faster to make my voice heard, and I am grateful for that, but I do not understand what this is about. Can you please clarifying the statement above? Thanks!

I think it's a reference to Trump's using his executive power to appoint people to leadership positions without Senate confirmation by making them "acting" positions.
