I so appreciate your clarity about how the voters are seeing beyond the hype of polling and media categorizing to vote for strong candidates! But more than this, I appreciate that here we are, counting down to the midterm elections, after a constant on-going barrage of administration attacks on our country - structures, values, people —and you are still steadily bringing us grounded, appropriate and timely encouragement.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

People commenting gave him credit for being a good sport but my take is that he is so desperate for validation that he is willing to be humiliated so long as someone is letting him speak.

Cool! You work with Jimmy Kimmel?! Do you pinch yourself everyday ❤️

When I heard about those damn ICE gloves my mind went into overdrive. I see them parking a van and running out attacking whoever is in their way - citizen or not.

Not only did Peggy Flanagan win in MN and Angie Craig graciously concede right away, Flanagan herself got more votes than all GOP senate candidates combined. MN also posted a new record of 1.1M voters turning out in the primary - 25% of all registered voters. And I’m very proud to note that we are the first state in the nation to ever have two women running for Governor and whoever is elected will be the first female governor of MN! (Amy Klobuchar was the first female US Senator ever elected here and may well become the first Governor!!) Disarray? Oh HELL no! Eyes on the prize - Democrats up and down the ballot.

Yes yes yes this is all so amazing!

Wisconsin voter here. The “legacy media” got it wrong. Francesca Hong only lost by decimal points, her ideas excited many voters of all ages and will continue to influence our politics going forward. I voted for her and now gladly support Crowley.

It feels so good to call elected officials with your messages. Thanks for inspiring me to call; so easy and I hope, effective.

Jess Craven's avatar

That makes me so happy thank you!

ALL ICE agents in training - such as it may go beyond how to dress the part - should experience the effect of THE GLOVE! Period.

Hello Jess. I discovered your newsletter a couple of months ago. It is truly life-changing. I have been fighting against Trump since he announced his candidacy in 2015. Your newsletter has become instrumental to my fight. Thank you for everything you do to help point me in the direction to make my fight more meaningful!

Jess Craven's avatar

That means so much to me thank you!

Thank you so much for highlighting Angie for Senate, including great links! She's primarying against Alex Vindman & can beat Ashley Moody. She's someone who'll fight for everyone!

Jess Craven's avatar

She’s incredible!

Signe K.'s avatar

I also like Vindman. I will be happy to vote for whichever will take Moody out of the Senate; she is a waste of space.

Here is a Progressive win that should be on your radar Jess! Amanda Janoo just won the Democratic Primary for Governor of Vermont! Her worthy opponent was more centrist and Amanda came out of nowhere to win the hearts and minds of Vermonters! She is someone to keep your eye on and has the young people of Vermont, energized, excited and canvassing, like someone else we recently saw win in New York City! Go Amanda Janoo!

Jess Craven's avatar

Oh my gosh I need to look into her thank you!

Jess gives much needed perspective and we must spread the word as well. THIS is the work. THIS is what we were meant to do. Let's exhale and keep going. Most of all remember: We simply have work to do. Because ultimately these elections won’t come down to vibes and they won’t be determined by the pundit class. Polls won’t flip a single seat. Neither will hopes, or prayers.

Excellent summary of how things really are, and very heartening!

Priority! Get these human beings out of the concentration camps in America!!!!! Epstein files will still be there! People are suffering and dying! Have we not learned a damn thing from WWII?

Like you I'm appalled re: the G.L.O.V.E. However, I just found out that the company in KY that manufactures these is 100% Veteran owned. They have a contact form and I just completed and sent it. At the time I didn't know they were 100% Veteran owned business. FLOOD them with their own contact form. https://www.complianttechnologies.net/contact?fbclid=IwY2xjawTrUUBwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7csTG8Vs_YLfDxoojoyZLtmxbup_2KGQqGWfeaFv8LG9npNvzK1ntciSYnrw_aem_DaxzWxSBxVMAiLWnziDdHQ

Jess Craven's avatar

Omg this is awesome thank you!

Signe K.'s avatar

I just commented on their site — thanks for the link!

Wendy's avatar

Thank you. I think the best way to stop this is to attack the company.

Peggy is an awesome, genuine person and is a great candidate. She will be a great Senator and will not compromise her values.
