Fantastic, so much great news! I'm so exhausted by Trump but stuff like this gives me fuel for the final push in this election. Thanks, as always.
FWIW, Simon Rosenberg now recommends we all ignore Nate Silver as he is likely not acting in good faith and up to something shady. I only learned this very recently.
That item is personal, the one about the Colorado Vehicle Exchange Program: In April I turned in our family's basically mothballed but still running 2001 Ford Windstar and got a $4,000 voucher. With the utility company Xcel's $3,000 voucher, I got $7,000 off a 2017 Nissan Leaf that was listed for $7,888... Out of pocket total after taxes etc. was $1,438. Great program!! (I was already getting around almost entirely on an e-bike, but don't tell anyone ha ha.)
I LOVE you for sharing this encouraging news! I’ve been down all day long—(Trump and MAGA fatigue). Thank you so much. I plan on referring back to this often!
This email is always the highlight of my weekend, if not my whole week! Thank you for all the work gathering these gems! The goodies at the end (like this musical version of the debate) are icing on the cake.
Thank you again for another much-needed uplift. I've been SO disheartened the last few days because I feel like I'm seeing more and more Trump signs. It feels like the cult is growing, not shrinking. Very hard to stay optimistic right now; this helps.
I needed this too—this AM I was walking my doggo and a neighbor we are friendly with (very old white man, retired firefighter—I am a middle aged white lady) approached me with a rump shirt on to ask a question—I told him I had a real problem with his shirt, he continues to ask his “question” which was regarding hoa rules about putting up election signs, of course! I told him I didn’t know and walked away, disgusted. I am done being nice or amenable to these racists.
Thank you thousands of time over for all the amazing work you do getting the "grassroots" to become the "grass" covering America!!! Let's get the biggest landslide since Johnson - Goldwater. ♥️
Hoping that the young people will step up. That they prioritize action on climate change is totally appropriate. So do I even though I won’t be living in the heat and disruption nearly as long as they will.
“Some 40 percent of young U.S. voters across political affiliations say they will only support a candidate who prioritizes climate action, according to new polling data conducted by Beacon Research on behalf of the nonpartisan Environmental Voter Project in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.”
The disinformation discussed on Last radio Los Angeles, California, includied the made-up story that anyone with tattoos will be able to do abortions, and something about late month, 8 or 9 month abortions that would be legalized if a democrat won, and that Democrats will cause femininicide (spelling?)-the killing of women in society.
All false, per the researcher, but influencing especially older women and ipeople whose native countries have high levels of femininicide--something of great concern to women from Latin countries where it is prominent. The researcher said that all this disinformation is false, and that actually U.S. has a high rate of femininicide for a developed country but it's home grown. The disinformation about immigrants being criminals, which has been shown untrue and the opposite to be true, also is being spreading believed..
Spanish-language radio has been a central source for these lies for some time now, I am glad something os being done even if it’s just an ad buy. Also Brian Tyler Cohen has a Spanish version on his YouTube channel.

Totally. Actually, really don’t even know why I put the good polls in. old habit. But I largely ignore them.
According to msn, Nate Silver's 538 is funded by Peter Thiel.
That’s about the best explanation. I was wondering if he has a brain worm or became a Russian agent.
Silver has been problematic for several years now for many reasons, glad the word is finally getting out there.

Aw you’re so welcome!
Thank you for putting this together every week, Jessica. And for everything you do, every day.

As I have read from several sources, not all Trumperz are racists, but all racists are Trumperz.
At this point anyone supporting him or vance you are racist, it is that simple.
Love the video!!! Thanks for all you do, it keeps us all inspired to do more. As, my grandson would say “rock on”!
Thanks, Jessica, for your nonstop energy and inspiring all of us to do more! The video is great, and I'm forwarding it to everyone I know!
Yay!
Jess,
Thank you thousands of time over for all the amazing work you do getting the "grassroots" to become the "grass" covering America!!! Let's get the biggest landslide since Johnson - Goldwater. ♥️
Fingers crossed!
Thank you!

Much news I didn't know-- thank you. Regarding the 3 million investment in Spanish-speaking radio, I heard a report today on LAst radio hat there's been tampering with truth, the disinformation--sources unclear?) An Associated Press article also discusses "misinformation" to Latino voters: https://apnews.com/article/2024-election-misinformation-latinos-radio-arizona-563ff36ba39d38d55eeb5d29d93d400e.
