Thank you Jess! I am peacefully protesting and calling, taking vacation days to do it! While i still have a job. This is so important. Our lives depend on it. Thank God for you!
Proud MA5. Katherine is the best! Best newsletters , emails and town halls. Glad to know about the Dems hearing on SS and hope it gets well publicized. Big day on Tuesday-WI election and House hearing!
Do you know the email address of Congressman Seth Moulton? We need to see and hear from him at the local level to know where he stands on all of this - not just lip service but action. We need leaders willing to sacrifice and be a beacon of hope. Trump and his crew are putting a wrecking ball to the Constitution and this nation. Help.
Thank you. Before I go out protesting in the streets in about an hour, I want to respectively protest what the House Democratic minority is doing. Schumer‘s vote has received the greatest amount of criticism; however, the strategy over the last several close votes in the House has failed. We have now several years of minority House leadership that may slow up bills, but has failed to use its leverage, has not been able to apply pressure on Republicans to give them political rooms and reason to vote against the Republican majority and have very few wins, if any. Even people we like like Clark and Hakeem Jefferies, we do not seem to hold them accountable as as much as many people criticize Schumer. We have to also ask if Jefferies is the right leader.
Oh, I’ve asked it many many times. I didn’t ask it in this interview because it was my first time talking to her and I didn’t want to immediately throw her into a super uncomfortable position but believe me if I talk to her again, I’ll say it more bluntly than I did this time
You have obviously followed Jefferies’ activities closely, I haven’t as closely. I was so impressed with him during the impeachment hearings that I may have not been paying as much attention to the other aspects of his responsibilities. I know people were disappointed during the budget thing. Thanks for your informed opinion.
Thanks so much for this interview, Jessica! It was great to hear from this smart, knowledgeable woman and learn more about the Democratic strategy in the House for dealing with this abysmal so-called “administration”.
Thank you Katherine Clark for your time. Jessica, would you please comment on the role mainstream media is playing on awareness and whether there is anything we can do to affect it? It seems to me that there is relatively little coverage of protests and counteractions, etc., and a lot of clickbait around the shock value of the Trump administration actions, which is the point of those actions. Thanks.
Not sure how many people were at our Tesla Takedown in Schaumburg IL today but it stretched for two blocks and people were 2-3 deep. On a 4 lane highway so lots of traffic! There was a small group of MAGA but we easily outnumbered them 10-1
Are there any republican reps who are concerned about what’s happening? And if so can you chip away in private with some of them to see the destruction?
So many reps are saying this week that we all need to stand up and amplify and even take to the streeets. Many of us will on April 5. I would like to see Dem. electeds join us visibly in these actions to make clear we are unified against the regime. Jess - please use your platform to call for this.
Thank you for posting this interview (and for your newsletter.0 I have always been a letter writer for elections, but you have stimulated me to become an active participants in local protests (looking forward to April 5) and to "whip" my friends and family to take action.
So happy to see you yesterday at Congressman Jimmy Gomez’s Town Hall! Thanks for your question about Dem politicians not doing enough to push back against the GOP’s heinous actions.
I'm busy taking care of my invalid husband, but I'm with you 100% and will make my calls and support you as much as I can. Thank you!
We love Whip Clark here in Ma and she’s been a leader recruiting people to run for Congress especially in red to blue districts. She’s a wonderful
Leader. Thank you for having her on. Let’s support her!
Amazing!

Thank you Jess! It’s snowing in Maine but we will be out there! ❄️💪

You’re not kidding! Huge day!

Google him. There is a form you can submit on his official page that will send an email. I do this a lot with Stephen Lynch.
He has a newsletter. I’m not even in his district but I get it.

You did a good job in the interview. Cut off the pleasantries at the beginning in a pleasant way! Elicited some good info.
I hope you do get her back to ask more questions. I will write or call her urging her to do that, as she is my Rep.

Thank you Jessica for interviewing Katherine Clark! What a breath of fresh air!
We must overcome the overwhelm and take it to the streets! Peacefully

I love that idea of being “whips” with folks in our own lives…
Working on being a whip!

Can we put town halls live on Substack?!
I suggest using Substack for town halls “live” as well as hearings. Blast clips from these out to the other social media outlets.
