Hi, all. President Biden will be addressing the nation in less than an hour to discuss the situation overseas. You can go here at 5:00PM PT / 8:00PM ET to watch. Also, I’m aware that Jordan is back in the mix. Truly mind boggling. I’ve got a new script for your GOP House reps if you want to call over the weekend or tonight. It’s a bit of a rush job, but it’ll work.
What to say if my rep IS Jordan?I have had it with his misrepresentation and idiotic cruel tactics.16 years and not a single piece of legislation all on my taxpayers dime.
Let him know that you will be campaigning vigorously against him in '24. And that you will be blasting this everywhere you can on a daily basis. If nothing else, it will make YOU feel good!
Our Ohio Supreme Court has ruled 3times that our maps are illegal and our Republican supermajority has ignored these rulings every time.It is beyond exasperating.
Yes, they are very, very bad. Are you a member of Blue Ohio, David Pepper's org? It's fantastic, and the monthly brown bag lunches are superb strategizing sessions. https://blueohio.org/
I've called Juan Ciscomani's office twice and emailed him twice. He's probably not going to change his vote but he's going to hear from me! I encourage others to make calls and email their Republican representatives NOW!
I just got an alert that Ken Buck of Colorado, who has been one of the more outspoken people against Jordan (although he is super conservative), has received at least four death threats just within the past 24 hours. He says he has received tens of thousands of phone calls, and there are at least 20,000 phone calls that his staff have not even been able to listen to yet.
Ken Buck is having a media moment and will talk to anyone who will stick a microphone in front of his face. This morning I saw a video of him on some news show saying that now he has been kicked out of his office space in Colorado, his local office, because his landlord is some kind of MAGA nutcase (not his words, but mine) and he’s upset that he didn’t vote for Jordan. Can you believe this insanity? Now these people are getting a taste of what it’s like for the rest of us who have been attacked by MAGA reactionaries. They never speak up when other people are being harassed and threatened by these crazed individuals, but now they’re talking about it because it’s happening to them. And they created this monster.
Jessica, I rarely comment but felt moved to do so tonight. I love your newsletter, positivity and suggestions for action. I really appreciate all that you do, every day.
Hey, all. Just called the entire list - except Spartz -this Friday morning. I didn't realize Lamalfa turned into a yes vote, so I thanked him for voting no. I hope he becomes confused!
Thanks, Jess. I emailed Dave Joyce just now, for about the 20th time since this whole fiasco started. I'll make my call tomorrow morning, when I might actually get a human!
I’m so confused. I thought Jordan said he was dropping out and Mr. Bowtie was going to have a crack at it until end of year so they could figure this out. What a bunch of ignoramuses!!
I personally believe this is all part of their plan. All in the name of shutting down the government. I don't get it, and I don't think I ever will, but I really think there are those in both the House and the Senate that are anti-Americans, and want to literally blow up our entire way of life. And they've been working on it for years, and aren't about to give up now.

Yes!
Exactly! I've voted against him so many times. The gerrymandering has to be undone.
Ohio should be getting a ballot amendment for that next year!
Yes!How do you think we have gotten Gym all of these times?

No I am not currently a member but that is about to change. Thanks for this information!
Mine is almost as bad. Warren Davidson ;(
Mine is Ms. Boebert. God help us all.
Oh my god!!
Yup! Fun times...
That *is* bad.
But I still write to her and call her, even though it’s mostly useless. Just so you know I’m not slacking off. LOL!
It is pretty damn bad that so many of us are being represented by crooks and liars and are paying their salaries to boot.
Yup. Terrible.
I would say exactly that.

See, three of the did change their votes on that third vote. Not him, but it shows it can happen!

WOW.

Aw, Betsy, just seeing this. Thank you!
OMG, you are TIRELESS Jessica! Thank you for the updated script!
LOL I am very tired, actually.
Thank heavens! Jordan failed again, losing three more republicans this round, according the WaPo.

Hahah safe to say they're all confused at this point.
Thank you as always, Jess!
Welcome, as always!
Thanks, Jess!

Wow, you’re persistent. Bravo!
I'm hell-bent on driving them crazy, just like they're trying to do to us!!
I’m so confused. I thought Jordan said he was dropping out and Mr. Bowtie was going to have a crack at it until end of year so they could figure this out. What a bunch of ignoramuses!!
He did say that. He got so much blowback from the hard right contingent that he changed his mind.
This is the definition of insanity quadrupled.

I believe you.
Sad, right?
