Thank you for all you do for us, Jess. I look forward to your emails every day. Tomorrow my mom and I will be attending a little Hands Off rally in our small rural Alaskan town. I don't know how many people will be there (probably not a lot) but I'm glad it's happening.

Update: about 70 people stood up in our red town in a red state (pop. approximately 3800). We got quite a few honks from people driving by, quite a few people who revved the engine menacingly, one who hollered "go trump!" out his window as he went by, and one who flipped us off. But the mood was generally positive and I got a couple more people to sign up for your newsletter.

I'll be attending a Community Pop-up Choir: Let the World Hear Our Song in Lancaster, PA. It is in support of LGBTQ+ community, Black and Brown community, and Immigrants. Next Saturday April 26th, I will be attending an Indivisible Event in Lancaster protesting Congressman NO SHOW Lloyd Smucker.

Why aren’t we hearing from North Carolina about the stoppage of FEMA funds? People there are still really suffering, but I haven’t seen anything about it. This was a red country during the election. We should be able to make progress there. Thanks for all you do.

One of the Republican reps. who signed the letter to Speaker Johnson to protect Medicaid was CA 22's Valadao.

He was one of the first to be targeted for pressure by Activate America postcards encouraging constituents to call him about medicaid, since more than half of the families in his community rely on medicaid for healthcare (I wrote around 30 of them).

Rob Bresnahan (PA), and Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.) who also signed this letter were also targeted by Activate America postcards on Medicaid.

Makes me feel good that the postcards may have helped push all three of them over the edge, hopefully the other Activate America campaigns will have similar effects!

You can email Senator Van Hollen to thank him if you are from any state. You just have to click off Maryland on the form.

He also has voicemail on his phone lines. My senators don't have the option of leaving a message. You have to call during business hours.

Dear Jessica - I LOVE your newsletter - THANK YOU. I'm hoping you may want to lift up this hilarious "ad" which offers help to those suffering from TESLA REGRET SYNDROME and which stars a few of my fellow actor friends in the Seattle area! I *think* it is produced by a group called https://www.troublemakerscommunity.org/ (I have just this minute found out myself about this group!) Anyway, here is the link to the video:

I want as many people to see it as possible and YOU can help make it go viral! Thanks for considering! Sincerely, Anne

Thank you for the list of American Companies supporting Trump!

Unfortunately it leaves off Avelo Airlines which has signed on to do Deportation Flights for ICE. Any help spreading the news would be great. If anyone needs motivation to boycott them here is what the CEO had to say on the issue, a perfect example of choosing profit over human rights:

“We realize this is a sensitive and complicated topic. After significant deliberations, we determined this charter flying will provide us with the stability to continue expanding our core scheduled passenger service and keep our more than 1,100 Crewmembers employed for years to come," Avelo's founder and CEO, Andrew Levy, said in a statement.

A.k.a, we know it is morally wrong, but want the consistent source of revenue for "years to come"

I have a question🖐️ have all the Dems confirmed no votes for the SAVE act? Because I'm not hearing or seeing things on that anymore.
