We cover a lot of ground - winning Yes On 50, challenging Trump more effectively, rallying behind Schumer and Jeffries, and keeping the military off our streets
Thanks for the interview. I will watch it shortly.
I'm planning to phone bank most days at least for ~ 1 hour on CA 50. If you want to do it, you can get the website link after training, and call whenever you want.
I think at some point we are going to be in a place where we all have to call for Trump's removal. I personally think today we crossed that point. I'm going to start calling Rep and Senators only on that point. We are all going to be there soon.
Rahm Emanuel on Chris Matthew's substack today said that the message has to be made very clear about healthcare - with numbers and the people who will be losing their healthcare with specifics and not just generalizations - lots of real life examples. Rahm Emanuel was quite powerful and inspiring - hadn't heard his ideas in a lot of years.
Simon thank you for this most timely, sobering and inspirational discussion with Gavin Newsome. What a day. Just wrote postcards for (my) Virginia and called my R rep to say I think it is way beyond time for them to get back to DC and do their jobs, including the budget.
I was surprised to see Arnold Schwarzenegger be against Prop 50. Not that I was ever a fan of his as governor but I was still surprised. They are running ads with him telling people to vote no.
Schwarzenegger wasn’t a great governor. He screwed over the teachers in our state big time. He is a Republican and not an honorable one in my opinion. Pay no attention to shiny objects.

David Pakman interviewed Emanuel on his show yesterday. It was interesting because David is being very tough with Dems these days.
You might wish to take a look.

my neighbor and I are going to knock on doors in South San Francisco
Excellent interview. Thank you both for your encouragement to continue pushing back.
Thank you for your support on pushing Prop 50, both with the interview with Gov. Newsom and with your daily posts!
I am working every day on it, and responses to canvassers has been very positive.
What’s our party’s plan to pull back these mega media companies. They must be broken up
Get back in power and have a president who cares about antitrust and wants to enforce the Sherman Act.
It’s a must!
What a long, hard, frustrating, maddening day.
Vomitous is the only word to use.
I've just sent CA 50 a bit more $ - my go-to when I'm feeling stuck in existential angst; almost catatonic.
Gov Newsom, your voice is hoarse 'cause, you've not been resting it.
Do take care!
YES ON 50! I will be there voting November 4th!!!!!!!! Let’s go!

thanks for letting us know about the tech issues - I tried for so long to get on, but happy I'll get to watch now! Go, Simon! Go, Gavin!
Question for those with knowledge:
Can presidential pardons be granted via memorialized instructions if a president dies suddenly before having issued them?
In other words, if the president hasn't had the chance to issue his pardons, but has written or communicated his wishes, can those pardons be issued?
Thanks Simon and Gavin for fighting to save our democracy!! Yes on Prop 50! My wife and I will be out knocking on doors this week.
Schumer and Jeffries need to walk away! Shut the government down. Trump and republicans OWN THIS.
Thanks guys that was a great conversatujv
My Indivisible group here in Massachusetts is writing thousands of postcards in support of CA 50.🇺🇲
Yes take their threats seriously, but also reassure the populace that they will not succeed. 🇨🇦🇩🇪
