I am overwhelmed with all this good news. I forwarded this particular one to a friend who has moved to Halifax Nova Scotia. We had a conversation today via old-fashioned telephone and sheโ€™s so discouraged about the US that sheโ€™s been a bit reluctant to stay informed, much less take action. I encouraged her to subscribe to your Substack. I figured starting with Sunday Good news was a really good way for her to engage.

โžก๏ธโ€œWhy would we ever want to return to where we were less than four short years ago?โ€ โฌ…๏ธ Thanks for the seedy ๐Ÿ˜‰ article in the NYT.

The ultrasound treatment for Alzheimers and drug addiction was aired on 60 Minutes last night. Wow! And in WV, no less. The article about American Bridge was inspiring, especially the last phrase "co-chair Cecile Richards". And "to be clear" ya "Don't mess with TX" (and Truth) when Rep Crockett is in the House. She kicks major ass for all of us. ๐Ÿ’™

I like that you had to cut some things out because there is too much good news out there, awesome! You are why I remain hopeful (along with Robert Hubbell and others) and why I feel itโ€™s not aALL about freaking Iowa! And yes to all comments about Rep Crockett, LOVE her

Forgot to ask if you'd mentioned St Paul MN all-women City Council swearing in. Nice video for that also!

That's quite a list. A LONG list. Rep. Crockett is an ass kicker in the most effectiveway.

OMG! What a joy to hear Rep. Crockett's blistering comments to congress!

But Jessica, I have to tell you that it is nothing short of amazing that you can bring us these uplifting messages every week, showing us that there is HOPE for America! How on earth do you do it? You must spend hours on line searching for good news around the country. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to hear of the GOOD NEWS that's happening, when the commercial media only tells us the BAD news! (I limit myself to only a smidgeon of local news to get the weather report and that's it--after that, it's BBC and PBS only, and of course illuminating Substack writers like YOU!) THANK YOU!

Once again, Jessica, you have made me feel better, thank you so much. I am forwarding this email to every Democrat I know. I am so proud of Ms. Crockett, from Texas! Thank you for sharing that clip.

Keep up the great work.

I agree, Jessica. I love this woman too.

How can we not lose with people like this taking it to the Republicans.

a quick question, not directly related to this issue of the newsletter. I read that Rosa DeLauro is leading action in the House to get full expansion of the child tax credit and that there may be some bi-partisan effort to make this happen. I am writing to my CT Congressman, but I would like to know if you have any knowledge of broader action to make this happen. This intervention could (again !!!) dramatically decrease the % of children living in poverty. I would love to see this happen.
