Simon, it is truly extraordinary to see the level of vitriol MAGA is spewing at. Anderson. Clayton. It makes me so happy that she’s so effective and thank you so very much for bringing her to our attention
Let me tell you how important NC is, as if you didn't already know. I am so pleased that my congressman, Wiley Nickel, voted in favor of the bill. But Nickel's time is running out because he has been gerrymandered out of his seat. It is now safely Republican and the TV ads for the two Rs contending for his seat are truly awful. People tell us there is no way a Dem can win...and they may be right...but we have got to try. One of our better "congress critters" is being run out of his seat and we must pull out all the stops to slow down the Republican takeover.
I am soon to be 80...a gay woman...retired teacher, illustrator & editor. I hope I am witnessing a major shift in how we perceive the Supreme Court so that a true overhaul will happen over time. The right wing has much too much power (that's destructive of the democracy that they are supposed to protect and honor.) Is there anything voters can do?
I’ve tried Mark Alford’s office 3x this morning. He’s my 4th District representative. Every time I got a recording to leave a message and every time it said, “sorry, the mailbox is full. Thanks for calling.”
Alford voted “nay” yesterday. ☹️
I can only hope his mailbox is full of people telling him to vote “yay” today. 💪💙
I wish there was a way? to get a solo pic from the Anderson Clayton video at ~1:20 of Biden’s face surrounded by those young kids.He looks exuberant taking a selfie with them ! 💙
I love it. I traveled with my teardrop trailer for 15 years helping veterans of all political persuasions get there VA benefits. I did it all pro bono and flyfishing around the country
I'm grateful Anderson Clayton is out there talking to young people who won't listen to people like me, who don't "look like them," but it's sad that they're so ageist and superficial.
I called my rep. Friday at 3:45 pm Eastern. She (D) had voted nay, due to key funding issues with Gaza aid. The LA with whom I spoke said my rep. closely tracked the vote, so she could make a political statement for a section of her voters without jeopardizing the legislation moving forward. I fully expect her to vote yay today.
The LA also said their office would be closed today. Only two staffers would be supporting the congresswoman. Just FYI if you are still trying to call.
Thank you for the video clips. Deeply relieved by the apparent MMJ about-face on [esp.] Ukraine aid, I am dumbfounded by it. Can you share insight on this? I am sorry for the antisemitism you've encountered. While this kind of blind/lethal hatred is anything but new, it still is staggering as well as tragic.
It was an unexpected pleasure to call my R Congressman Mike Flood yesterday to THANK him for supporting the Ukraine funding rule….just called this morning to urge final passage. I said on Twitter yesterday that the two most important but under appreciated accomplishments of Joe Biden thus far in my view are out maneuvering MAGA on the debt ceiling last year, and out maneuvering them on Ukraine this year.
This administration truly has been a masterclass in good governance in an unprecedentedly challenging time. Very proud of my president and party today ❤️🩹🇺🇸

Don is Nod spelled backwards. I thought you'all should know this.
This is stolen from the Washington Post comments section, chuckle:
Don Snoreleone, the Nodfather.
