I was wrong and you were right, Michael. Again. But I am grateful to you (even though you were right and I was wrong) because you helped make me less wrong. Because of you, I would add to every prognostication I made "on the other hand, Michael Moore, who was right in 2016, is saying ...". And because of you I badgered the hell out of one of my daughters (who often doesn't vote) to vote. OK, not 5 people, but something. So grateful to you. And yes, Nancy, if you are listening, if you want to retire I totally understand, but that is the only the way you're gonna stop being Speaker-- you will have 218 when the dust settles. Mike said so.

I believe in the abundance mentality and that before I am anything else (a mom, a Patriots fan, an [insert any other label here], I am human. Our humanity is what joins us, what allows us to see others as people first and labels later. We all feel pain, love, fear, shame, pride, joy. Our humanness unites us.

Thank you for the Midwestern common sense Mike. It’s much appreciated.

Michael it was you, me, my dad and Joe Biden yelling into the wind that it was all going to be okay !! Literally no one thought it would happen but I kept saying guys the Dems actually did stuff for the people and that will make a difference. I don’t watch TV news, but when NPR and the NYT start the drum beat it’s depressing . But if you look at the names it’s the same people the do the opinion columns who are on TV as

‘Pundits ‘ so it’s an echo chamber. I hope people will think a little more critically and have hope. We took our eye off the ball and 2016 happened no one is letting that happen again . Keep fighting the good fight Michael!

Thank you Michael for keeping us psyched. I think we should send a thank you note to the Republicans for overplaying their hand with the Dobbs decision and then all the red states jumping on it like flies on turds. Did they not have anyone advising them it might be best to wait until AFTER the midterms to try and change abortion rights when they most certainly would have had a better chance of winning instead of galvanizing a hoard of angry voters both young and old who think control over one's body is a right not to be snatched away by a bunch of old white men. Oh and yes, most of us care about our democracy...Good Bye Mr Trump

You were the light that kept my hopes alive but I'm deeply disappointed that Wisconsin stuck with Ron Johnson, the guy who tried to hand Pence fake electors, the guy who wants to strip away Medicare and Social Security, the guy who ignores the science on Covid. I believe the white voters who kept him in office couldn't handle a black guy taking his place. Now we have a chance to change the trajectory of gerrymandering here when we vote for a WI Supreme Court justice in a few months. Help us get the word out, Michael. The blue tsunami is still rolling in.

“It was a good day, I think, for democracy,” Biden said in a victory lap dressed up as a news conference. “Our democracy’s been tested in recent years but, with their votes, the American people have spoken and proven once again that democracy is who we are.” 😎 #DarkBrandon

Thanks for being out there, BUT, we can’t assume we’ve got it in the bag and sit back and relax. I can see that this momentum has to keep going. Republicans will continue to keep pumping billions into elections to keep swindling people into getting their vote. I understand that they are trying to swing Latino voters and did manage to score voters from that wing, One billionaire donor giving 1.3 billion. I believe Ron DeSatan is a major threat in 2024, especially if Biden runs and inflation remains high. Not that I don’t love Biden, I think he is smart and a good speaker but when people are constantly looking for shiny objects we may need to play to them. Democrats need to come a long way in messaging , making obvious what republicans are voting for, or not. How authoritarians behave and educating the public on history and how government really works. It’s really encouraging to see that in the largest district in Colorado the nut job Boebert won by around 1000 votes. But she should never have won, by a long shot. She is not only dumber than a box of rocks, but she is a nutter, and obviously only in it for promoting her own fame. The public needs more education and thank you to the fine people doing it. Keep up the good work.

We humans are creatures of Nature. In the wild, a pack chooses a leader. This leader protects and defends. When he fails to do so, the pack itself takes the old leader out and replaces him. It's a story as old as life itself.

We voters didn't vote AGAINST things; we voted FOR things. Civility, decency, logic, common sense, our common good. We voted in support of rights; to be inclusive of all. We demand strong, wise pack leaders. The final count of the House will reflect that, too.

Michael, bless you. I needed your early morning email (5:00am here on the West Coast) because I could not sleep so I got up and opened my laptop to Truth 42. absolutely right on - women and young people (and the men folk we drug along with us). I kept listening to my grandchildren who are

28,26,24,22. I heard their passion. Women are not fools - The Supreme Court will not stop. .We need to be ever vigilant.

I stopped all news media in April of last year. I saw where is was going, putting President Biden in constant dark shadows of gloom and doom. It felt so wrong! My lie detectors were throwing red flags 🚩 up everywhere. I watched Mike on Bill Maher and I was surprised even he’d bought into the idea we women had moved on from Roe v Wade. That was disappointing to say the least. But, I hung on! Read the news every day, including Mike. Sure, I had my moments of frustration, but I’m married to a man who 10 years ago on our first date said, “If a Republican gets elected President in the next election, it’ll be the last one for at least 50 years.” He NEVER once doubted after TFG’s disastrous administration Democrats would heavily prevail. We aren’t there quite yet. But, please thank SCOTUS for their early warning of the direction Republicans intend to take our country.

I’m a huge fan of Pink, I love the song. Forwarding it to my good friend here in Pittsburgh who manages a Veterans website and is present at every fundraising event they hold. Attending the event for funding service dogs for Vets next month at Heinz Field ( recently renamed something we don’t recognize here)😀.

Michael, I posted this, as I have for the past six weeks, on my FB page, with 2,000+ readers from all over the world and all over the US. Thank you, thank you, thank you for believing in us to fight the good fight at the polls. You based everything on your extensive sweep of what is happening politically. You gave me news I never get on tv or mainstream media. Like the 18 year old Democrat who won City Council in some small Michigan town. Each day was filled with your facts and optimism. I will continue to share your work and follow you to the end of all the tunnels, where you shine light!

Thank you for all of your hard work over the last six weeks. Well, over many years, really. So I have been wondering, what sources do you read that you can form an opinion so different from everyone in the media and so spot on? You told us Hilary would lose in 2016. You told us Trump would lose in 2020. My money's on you for the foreseeable future!
