Your Extra! Extra! was a particularly welcome sight in my in-box, Jessica.
Did you see where Jay Kuo wrote in his newsletter, "...we should be renewing calls for banning AR-15 style semiautomatic rifles, requiring background checks and waiting periods, and imposing an age limit of 21 on all purchases. Perhaps Democrats should reintroduce legislation to do all that, call it the “Trump Assault Ban,” and force the GOP to vote against or filibuster it." Perhaps his idea would gain traction to strengthen our war against guns? Wouldn't that be something!
No doubt he is a professional auctioneer turned Congressman. Have been to enough cow sales to recognize that rhythm, and it is not there for beginners. Love, Doc
yeah, I needed that. Loved the Laura Loomer part. Insane. I just contributed to your Giving Circle for the 1 to 1 MATCH. Love doubling my donation! Go Arizona and PA!!! Loved hearing all the good news. Thank you!
Like everyone else I know, I struggled with how to think about the near assassination of Trump. I've realized this event is about gun violence in America as much or more than about Trump. He was just one more target. Do you think the attempt will change a single GOP mind about gun regulations? NO. It is a sad, sad example of why the GOP-MAGA can't be allowed to govern America. TLets double down and elect Democrats up and down the ballot..tks
Bless you, Jessica! You never disappoint even when you’re not feeling up to par. Loomer is loony tunes and that video of the (I think) Congressman doing a fabulous impression of an auctioneer, is priceless!
Agreed, I looked it up and it is old. But for those who have questioned the Member's credentials: According to Wikipedia, he really is an auctioneer. It was a brilliant and funny move.
Omg really?? Ack! I saw it in Jay Kuo and assumed it was current…although I did wonder what someone of Laura Loomer’s stature was doing in that Congressional hearing.
Thank you! I'm about to leave for vacation and go on a news break and I wanted Extra Extra to be the last thing I read before signing off. I'm taking some postcards with me and hopefully some recharge time will do me good.
Great, Jason. Have a really good break and please know that we’ve got this while you’re gone. Everybody really does need to take rests and I’m glad you’re doing so.
Hey everyone. I just tried to post Dan Rather’s recent post to FB. It was taken down immediately. Others also had this experience. Does anyone know about this? And how to handle?
I’m hearing that Facebook has become a nightmare for political posts. One thing I have heard works is to not hit share on the post and share it that way, but to copy the link from the bar at the top of your web browser and post it that way. Let me know if it works.
Woke up this morning, checked my email and find today's substack. Wonderful list of so much going on in the world outside of what happened over the weekend.
The clip of Laura Loomer got my day started off just right. So needed a laugh!
Great list! Thanks, I needed that.. lots of massively good news in there.. One addition suggested: on Chris Sununu (NH) signing tne good voter access bill.. hatchet 🪓 for lots of public pressure applied by folks throughout the hearings for and passage of this bill…
You know I was gonna put a hatchet there and then I really wasn’t sure whether our people had pressured him because he’s a Republican and I’m generally less aware of the situation. I should’ve put it in as a assumption and I will add it to the online version thank you! And thank you for your hard work!

Believe me, I saw it and plan on having just such a call in the newsletter tomorrow.
You are truly a balm Jessica; Keep up the awesome work you do.
Thank you. I will try! Take care of yourself!
Learning to.
Well said, D4N.
Thank you, Jessica, you are our never-faltering cheerleader. I hope you are feeling better.
I love the auction congressman. So American.
I mean—wild, right?
That video was welcome comic relief. The rest of the room laughed when the congressman yielded back. Loved it!
If he isn't actually a professional auctioneer, he really ought to be!

I loved reading all the good news tonight and appreciate you so much! I love Lucian Truscott’s substack too.
He’s always so great.
Thanks so much for all you do. You are an inspiration to us all!
Oh thank you, Monica.
So appreciate the work you are doing.
❤️

100%
That helped. Thank you so much! But please take it just a little bit easy???
Ha. After the election. 😊
🙄😅

I just found out it’s old! 🫢oh well, still funny.
Agreed, I looked it up and it is old. But for those who have questioned the Member's credentials: According to Wikipedia, he really is an auctioneer. It was a brilliant and funny move.
It doesn't make that video any less hilarious, but it is about 5 years old according to when it was first uploaded to PBS Newshour.
Thank you for all the good news today! <3

Reasonable assumption! ❤️

Thanks Jess. These are so encouraging always.
