A wonderful and uplifting summary of current events and good progress made. We all must continue to elect and re-elect Democrats in National and Local offices. Try not to follow the naysayers in the media as their efforts are intended to derail our fruitful efforts! Let’s continue to work together along with Joe and Kamala to finish the job for America! Thank you Jessica Craven!

I wish to honor all those who lost their lives in defense of our great country. I also wish to remember all those who lost their lives to gun violence in this country. All the children who will not graduate from grade school, middle school, high school and college. All the parents who will not see their children graduate or walk down the aisle because of gun insanity. I pray their sacrifice will weigh heavily on all Republicans and fill their hearts with regret until they give us meaningful gun legislation. I pray this is the last Memorial day we have to live in fear. Ban all assult weapons.

Some incredibly positive notes, Jess. I'm particularly struck by your acknowledgment of Amanda Gorman's poem, which was overshadowed only by her delivery. It rivals Ray Charles's America The Beautiful::

Thank you, thank you! Just shared with two of my friends who have reason to care about a few things you’ve mentioned. :) living in Texas, (but from Michigan) I was super happy to hear of Ken Paxtons latest woes. He must have pissed off some billionaire republicans or something…wtf? Why now? But I’ll take it! :D

Outstanding wrap-up and definitely some good news at the end of the week.

Jon Hamm's ad is great and I wish Lucas Kunce all success but he's going to need something other than "I'm not Josh Hawley" if he's going to win. It will also help if the Missouri Democrats unite behind him and don't enable a spoiler like the Trudy Valentine candidacy that gave us Sen. Eric Schmitt.

If only ALL our professional sports franchises would get on board. Having said all that, What are you doing working?? It's a holiday weekend; get out there and have some FUN!!
