Hi, all, and happy Thursday! I’m in back to back meetings right now, so as an opening I’m going to simply offer you a quote one of my subscribers left in the comments a few days ago. It’s from a book called “A Dry White Season” by the anti-Apartheid writer Andre Brink.
I just want to comment on Chuck Schumer's decision to move forward on the 3 Joint Chiefs candidates. You may recall that you posted my letter to senators on August 23 as a ResistBot suggesting just that approach. In addition to mailing letters to my senators, I tailored one to Senator Schumer. We have no way of knowing if any of our efforts got thru, but if nothing else, it shows that we're on the side of the good guys! Either way, I take it as a win!
Blue Tennessee, an Every State Blue sister project of Blue Ohio and Blue Missouri will be there! Women supported by Tennessee Women's Political Caucus are just the type of candidate we want to help fund. Learn more about us at linktr.ee/BlueTennessee.
I am a supporter of Blue Tennessee. Please consider donating as they are trying to be fully funded by the end of the year so they will be able to support candidates in Tennessee in 2024. In fact, Jessica was one of the hosts of the launch event in May for Blue Tennessee that was hosted by Markers For Democracy.

Hey Jess,
I just want to comment on Chuck Schumer's decision to move forward on the 3 Joint Chiefs candidates. You may recall that you posted my letter to senators on August 23 as a ResistBot suggesting just that approach. In addition to mailing letters to my senators, I tailored one to Senator Schumer. We have no way of knowing if any of our efforts got thru, but if nothing else, it shows that we're on the side of the good guys! Either way, I take it as a win!
Bob
I agree. Thank you again for that excellent letter!

Oh amazing! Now I have to make sure I’m there!
Thank you Jessica! I do want to note that Blue Tennessee is attending, not hosting or participating. I didn't mean to imply otherwise...

Why does Congress continue to receive pay when they shut down the government? I support this bill:

I used this bill as the basis for a TikTok and it's done really well! https://www.tiktok.com/@jesscraven101/video/7281734011318291754?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7267272125832316458
Love that!
Just donated to MVP.
Really appreciate it.
I tried to share excerpts from the Hartmann report on Facebook yesterday and it was removed as a cybersecurity threat and I was put on warning!
WHAT? That is bizarre!
Welcome to the world of Meta which is hardcore Republican.
