Thank you Jessica and all contributors- this post is so uplifting and I am sure took many hours/days/weeks of diligent work and research to fact check and bring to us!! I am so grateful for the continued efforts to hold up our democracy.

Ditto, everything you just said, Debra. I look at the time and energy Jessica puts into these updates and I just want you to know, Jessica, that we so appreciate it. You save us so much time in fact checking everything on our own, and your patriotism is palpable in every post! Thank you so much! You are an ever-present source of information, inspiration, camaraderie, and truth.

Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write any of our representatives as often as possible. Not just your own state reps, reach out to those in other states. Be as loud as you can and share this. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

If a re-pub dares to vote along with dems on a particular issue, you bet I'll call them to say "thank you!"

Indivisible also said not to ask anyone to vote for a particular candidate when writing the 100's of postcards prior to an election. I always said "Vote for (so-and-so)" and saw that in two RED So Cal districts both those fellows WON.

So DO thank any repubs that help us along the way--it takes great courage for them to go against the recommendations of the demagogue-in-chief.

This edition of Extra! Extra! was a wonderful gift to read this morning, thank you so so much for your efforts in compiling this list for us every week! Sorely needed today after all the nonsense and outrageous news from the current regime.

Hopefully Jess you are otherwise having a restful, peaceful Mother's day! You so richly deserve it, and so much more.

Jessica, a big thanks for all the hard work you do! The Sunday "good news" list is inspiring and motivating. It helps to know that there is good, steady progress in the midst of the cray, cray!

A wide angle lens is most helpful :)

“For the first time in years, Democrats are running a candidate in every single VA House district. Amazing! (Also, Run For Something had a lot to do with this!)” I’m thrilled for my home, the Old Dominion. Now if you could just do it here in Florida, in my lifetime. I’m over 70, by the way.
