For those of us, including myself who need frequent Hopium doses, Dave Wasserman is bullish on “leaning towards a Dem sweep of both chambers in Virginia in two weeks.” However, as Simon indicated we cannot get complacent !!!!
Something just isn’t breaking through. Axios had a report that internal Biden campaign polling was even with Trump in a couple swing states. Keeps me up at night.
I no longer trust Axios. They were acquired by Cox Comm in ‘22 . Top donors according to Open Secrets are GOP Senate/House Congressional Cmtes.This year Axios fired a reporter for replying to Fl Dept of Ed press release about DeSantis’ propaganda ( woke mob, indoctrination,blah,blah blah)with… “ This is propaganda”.
Thank you for your clarity on the slaughter by Hamas of Israelis on October 7. No historical justification for such inhumanity. And yes, we can support the Palestinians and forcefully condemn the terrorists.
Bob Rains: If you're on Threads, can you help me? Simon asked me to post for him and I don't know how to do that, I'm new to all this stuff (late to the party as usual) Is it as simple as copying the web address? I'm not sure that will work since we pay for this?
What I mean is just link to my stuff there for now and eventually I will turn on my account there. I am not a big fan of META, and am going there kicking and screaming.
I gave $500 directly to Secure Progress per Dan Helmer’s direction. I am looking at going to VA to knock doors for ur 6 candidates. I would like to be located where I can do the most good. Any suggestions?
Each of these six candidates I've endorsed have canvasses happening in these final days. I would go to their sites and sign up directly. You can them here - https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/all-in-for-virginia. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know we have been focusing on Virginia (for obvious reasons), but the red waviness of where I live here on Long Island is becoming a concerning trend which might be reflected in the Suffolk County Executive election next month. Also, unless we get Nassau county redistricted ASAP to include parts of Queens we CANNOT simply just state that Biden won these districts so we can flip them!! Lee Zeldin has become a rallying cry across here for the MAGA constituency and we need all the seats we can get...
100% crime message that Zeldin kept pounding over the airwaves and the fact that he’s FROM the island made everyone out here trust that message (I.e; we were turning into New York City and the Long Island Democrats don’t care 🙄). Now they’re riding the NIMBY when it comes to migrants despite the fact that Hochul has already specified that the city needs to coordinate their own solutions. You would think that with the SALT tax deduction capped BY the repubs it would be an anchor on their necks but mention SALT to anyone out here and 75% of the folks will have no clue it was due to the Trump tax cuts...we’ll see what happens next month with the Suffolk County Executive election which had previously been held by a Democrat for a 12 year term limit. I need Simon to call in some favors to stress the urgency out here because If we don’t redistrict soon we’ll be on the way to going from Long to Staten Island🤬🤬🤬
God Bless, David Pepper. He has been screaming about the corruption in Ohio for more than a decade, finally Ohioans are waking up. We will have stronger reproductive rights then we had before thanks to so much hard work in this state--the majority of which was done by women. And next fall, fingers crossed we will defeat gerrymandering through a citizen ballot initiative.
People are so binary! Beautifully expressed: "Those sympathetic to the Palestinian cause should in my mind also aspire to be anti-Hamas, anti-Putin, anti-Iran, pro-Ukraine, pro-Jewish/Israeli and American. One can be pro-Palestinian and an advocate for a two state solution (as I have been for decades) without descending into rancid antisemitism. That is my expectation about our discourse here going forward, and my hope for the world more broadly. " We play into Putin's / Iran's hands when we argue these things.

I needed this news today. Thank you!

I am fairly certain Josh Kraushaar is GOP media relations.
Thanks, Simon. I’m a faithful reader who often posts snippets of your newsletter on Facebook.

Simon, please start posting these things on Threads!!! I see you have an account and we need to see you there! :)
Amen

A little embarrassed here, but willing to learn!
Not a problem! Just get the link and paste it in your post. I can do the same. If you like, you can also tag someone with “@“ and that person’s handle
Thank You!! I thought I was really a genius when I figured out how to post pics of my cat, lol.
This may be more useful. ha
Cat pictures are important!
Anytime! I posted Simon’s piece too.
Who are you on Threads so I can follow you? I'm debski50
What I mean is just link to my stuff there for now and eventually I will turn on my account there. I am not a big fan of META, and am going there kicking and screaming.
If you want to start a thread and paste key points from the post, there is a little icon underneath to do that too.
Pls post for me there. I may go there someday but am already in so many other places, it's a little crazy.

And I gave to the state fund.

What is driving this? SALT? Immigration?

Thanks Simon for posting David Pepper’s funded poll. Noted it on Pepperstpectives but had not taken the time to read. Blue Ohio rocks!
I donate to State Project/VA but would like to donate to
these 6 candidates. Does
anyone have a link where I
can donate to all at 1 time?
You can give to all six in a single donation here - https://open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc/p/all-in-for-virginia?r=130dna&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Thank you very much, Simon.
Thank you!
