Reading nothing but GOOD news is a great way to start my Sunday! Thank, Jess! Sharing on Spoutible.

Thank you so much and good morning!

Thank you for excellent, imaginative reporting! You’re top notch!

Jess Craven's avatar

That’s very kind of you although I would argue that I’m not doing reporting in this case so much as simply gathering and sharing. But regardless, I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

How can we get McHenry to implement RCV which would be democratic and fair? Then Jeffries would win as he would have the most votes.

They are putting party over country. Could the DOJ step in and demand they implement it?

Jess Craven's avatar

I answered this below. I just don’t think there’s a chance. Republicans generally hate RCV.

Marlo's avatar

But the entire country is watching and focusing on the House Republicans. This would be the opportunity to do it.

This is the list I will uphold. We all know there is a ton to be done, but understanding the momentum and successes helps us set new goals and builds constituency. Brilliant! Thank you!

Jess Craven's avatar

Agreed and thank you so much!

Jessica, you are performing a heroic public service with this parade of authentically good news -- and saving my sanity and perspective! Many thanks and many cheers.

Jess Craven's avatar

Thank me by sharing it widely. I mean that. Have a great Sunday!

Yup, restacking and posting on the nefarious X.

One of the women Water Protector protesters in the MN case referenced is Winona LaDuke, who ran for Vice President with Ralph Nader. There are many brave women doing hard work in MN to support Water. https://www.youtube.com/@waadookawaad_amikwag

Thanks for sending this out Sunday morning-good way to start the day in the midst of all the horrible news. I always send this out to many in my email contacts.

Love Rep Moskowitz!

So glad it was helpful. And yes, I’m trying to get these out early on Sundays now, so that people can start their day off in a positive way.

I was feeling so down after spending an evening with friends dissecting the horrors occurring in Gaza. I still feel that grief of course, but reading all of this good news is certainly inspiring. I will definitely share.

Jess Craven's avatar

I’m so glad you found it helpful and please do share. We all need a lift.

You're up and about early πŸ˜‰ Thanks for all the good news; didn't know about the Ukrainian children returning home.

Admittedly, I had to read this one twice - "The government filed notice that it was appealing the sentences of the five members of the far-right Proud Boys group convicted in the Jan. 6 attack, presumably because they’re too short." - because at first I thought the PBs were too short, not their sentences. Gotta pay attention to those pesky prepositions and dependent clauses.

Jess Craven's avatar

Ha ha that’s so funny and yes I can see how I could’ve phrased that a bit more clearly.

The news comes at us faster and faster. It’s hard to catch all the fast balls!

Oh and the video...PRICELESS!

Right? πŸ˜‚

Jessica, just had the time to read your excellent newsletter for Sunday. Lots of great stuff like the Poland victory, The Administration’s pressure on online gun sellers, fabulous news about the choice for Oklahoma, didn’t know about SCOTUS’ ruling, poor poor lil’ Ken doll, Pence, running out of money, could literally kiss Gov. Prtizker! I follow the Biden-Harris comments that they make on Truth Social. How brilliant was that for their teams to think of doing that? it’s like secret harassment and I am there for it! Just real good stuff! Thanks

Jess Craven's avatar

Amazing thank you!

I wonder if anyone has seen The Bulwark podcast on YouTube. It is amazing. Here's the title;
