I Hope that the Lincoln project takes that cut of the NY state Kennedy campaign manager and rams it down their throats.

Hope everyone has sent postcards to register and vote from home in Nevada and that they

have ordered postcards this week to get unregistered potential voters registered in Montana. Biden/Harris will win in 2024. You can order postcards at https://shop.bluewavepostcards.org/

Thank you Simon for all you do and for your uplifting pieces. Always working. VOTE BLUE!

Please, please, please make the videos shareable. If the components of your post arenā€™t shareable, we canā€™t amplify them to key audiences. I want to send out the word about JFK but canā€™t find the video link anywhere.

Simon, we appreciate your steady hand in filtering out the wheat from the chaff. So much noise from

major media outlets that still are anchored to the ā€œ horse raceā€ perspective of this existential fight

between Autocracy and Democracy.

Can you provide a link to the second video Kennedy helping Trump? Thanks!

I'm fairly drunk on Hopium ever since the Florida initiative was allowed to go on the ballot.

We're going to take Florida away from them, y'all. We're going to send Senator Voldemort Scott back to the private sector to steal more Medicare payments.

And then we're going to take North Carolina and Texas from them and send Senator Evangelical Cruz back to that great prayer circle on the edge of town that just a few old timers still attend.

I will work until my fingers fall off to make our dreams the United States' reality in 2024!

Nice to see positive trends! And TIPP has another new poll today with Biden +3.

Simon, as an Iowa grad I appreciate your shout out to Caitlin Clark. Iowa had an amazing season and lost yesterday to a bigger, stronger and deeper team. There was no whining about being cheated or that it was a fixed outcome. A lesson for all of us, including many people in Caitlin's home state.

I was shocked by the Kennedy campaign manager clip. She appeared to think her comments would not be repeated outside that room. Or have they decided it's not worth maintaining the fiction?

I also follow Harriet Cox Richardson in addition to Hopium Chronicles. Ms Richardson is avowedly non-political. She writes from an Historical perspective. What she has shown are the historical incidents that parallelā€™s todayā€™s madness. She notes that the American people have rejected authoritarian regimes in the past and will do so again. She saw todayā€™s situation coming 12 years ago and was quite concerned because no one was listening to her. Today she has well over a million Substack subscribers who are listening with rapt attention

HOPIUM ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: just got confirmed as a "super volunteer" on Vote Forward!

My friends and I have been writing letters to low-propensity voters in MI, GA, and AZ via Vote Forward (votefwd.org). Thing is, their website will only issue you a max of 300 voter addresses, after which you have to specifically apply to be a "super volunteer" who can be entrusted with additional voters. Yesterday I was granted that designation.

Who's with me? Who else can join my friends and me in blowing past that 300-letter threshold and becoming a "super volunteer"? Let's do this, folks!

Something interesting (though not necessarily super-meaningful): in the PredictIt daily betting market, Joe Biden now leads Donald Trump in the question of "Who will win the 2024 US presidential election?" Gamblers are looking at the data and trends, and the bet they're making is that Joe Biden looks like a winner, and Donald Trump looks like a loser. Let's work hard and prove them right!
