Hi Simon,

Not been able to reach you with 2BIG QUESTIONS. Best way to speak to you, how to have private questions to share & get your feedback?

Would you consider enhancing this site, where members can have limited minutes to ask you a question, & have a chance for other members to give feedback. All would be time limited. Questions could be run by you first, if you prefer.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist, 23 years. Now 81 years old in Santa Monica CA. Largely retired now.

Am a strong Progressive Democrat!

Can members discuss their thoughts & Questions at a Segments of the Show?

Thank you for all your enormous work! I know I’m looking to engage live!

Thank you,

Naomi Blum, LCSW, DCSW

Like they do on TikTok lives, but on here instead

He is my parents' Rep, and we LOVE him here. He's fearless, energetic, and no-holds-barred. My Dad thinks all politicians expire before their sell-by date, but even he has had no problem voting for Swalwell seven times.

They're spoiled in Alameda County. We got a look at Kamala years before the rest of you guys, so WE KNEW she was a real one who meant what she said. We came so close to having a President who knew how to take the BART. Too bad this country can't do the right thing more than once in a row.

We can do it again we've done it before. :)

Hi Will, I'm right next door in Contra Costa County and also have a huge respect for Eric Swalwell, along obviously with Kamala... I have a good guy congressman also in Mark DeSaulnier, just quieter, but am hoping he gets LOUDER

Strength in Democratic Party vs. weakness in MAGA party. Show, don’t simply tell.

Thank you for working so hard, Simon! Two posts a day is time-consuming, but if you are able to give that time and energy, we need you now more than ever! You keep me steady and focused. You rock!

Mary Emmick's avatar

Yes, close the loudness gap.

I would speak to medication, not eggs. It is just awful that he has undone what Biden did for this country with medication costs.

I very much appreciate Eric Swalwell.

I am not tuning in as much these days. So my knowledge is limited. Did Trump undo the cap on prescriptions drugs that Biden implemented?

OMG - I have to admit, I did not think he would do this one. I go from not wanting to know bc I get so upset and I am demoralized. Hopium isn't the place to be down and out so I don't come here too often bc I am doom and gloom. But then I want to be informed. It's tough. I'm conflicted. Let me guess, MSM is blaming this on Biden somehow? I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. Senator Thune, after all, is blaming the Jan 6 pardons on Biden.

MrsCQ's avatar

Wow, at least to me, this reads like they are sane-washing Trump yet again with how this is written. 😡

Yes. How are we going to do it? We must think of a way to win WITHOUT MONEY!!!!! That would make the most optimistic message for me!!! How can we achieve this?? That’s the question!!!!!!!

Show more of the protesters Monday in the streets. The corporate media ignored it.

Mary Emmick's avatar

We are entering an era where corporate media is more propaganda than news. This is how Russia operates.

Mary Emmick's avatar

Yes, betrayal and fanatical regime…

Liars are obviously weak. Afraid of the truth.

Really admire Rep Swalwell. Would be awesome for him and Jeffries to reach out and use us as their army of democracy warriors.

Thank you as always for your work Simon. I need the light you bring especially in this moment. I'm ready for the marathon!

A wonderful presentation by Swalwell who I appreciate so much. The pain to be inflicted won't just help the bros. What about a DNC shadow cabinet that can highlight the issues that Trump is trying to hide? That can bring to our attention the relevant stories. That will watch the shadows so that Trump can't spring surprises. Then those of us passionate about different topics can follow particular shadow secretaries to keep track and speak out.

Of course George W Bush appointed a know nothing to head FEMA, and when Katrina hit, it was a catastrophe for New Orleans and for him. I keep thinking about that with all these clown nominations from DJT.
