Thanks again for your great insight Mike! I especially liked reasons number 1 and 4. Having a few Republicans switch sides in the House would send a nice clear message. It would mean we might have to do more negotiating with them on the Democratic side, but Dems are use to negotiating amongst themselves. With regard to women ever forgetting about Roe, they can forget it. I drive an electric car, so I don’t feel the impact of increased gas prices. I do feel the impact of increasing grocery prices. Other prices are creeping up too. My body, my daughter’s body and the bodies of my fellow sisters are more important to me than paying a few dollars more for some goods. We will not FORGET. We will continue to fight with all of our strength for a fair and just democracy for everyone. That is what most of us want in this country. This rang even more true for me during the George Floyd protests. African American people make up about 13% of the US population. There were many more white protesters than African American protesters standing up for justice during the marches and demonstrations even during COVID! In fact, seeing this scared some folks in power. We’ve got this!

Agree. At first I thought "Media ought to just ignore them." Then I thought "Make all their antics public. Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves." In the vein of a Greek tragedy, their downfall will absolutely happen. And yes, not proud of it but I'll enjoy watching, too.
Yes, it's wonderful to have done as well as we did in the midterms. Thank you, Michael, for giving us courage and, especially, belief. As fun as it's been watching the Republicans knife each other in broad daylight, their approach to 'governing' -- read: revenge -- has already become evident. Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene -- the new GOP -- are already spreading their venom unchecked. We're in store for some painful hearings: Hunter's computer, the DOJ, the FBI and maybe even Benghazi and Hillary's emails. Hey, why not? They're going to be trying to make up for lost time. It's going to be a rough couple of years.
Along with repealing the 1994 crime bill, codifying Roe v Wade, ending gerrymandering, giving DACA people citizenship, universal pre-K, paid family leave, and $15 minimum wage, we want the ERA finally passed into law! I'm starting tomorrow morning writing my representatives, and probably a few who aren't mine, to get the ball rolling. I am open to suggestions as to what else us regular citizens can do to get this legislative agenda passed. It's high time. I would also like to know WHICH Republican representatives are teetering on the fence so I can write them as well. Your ideas are great Mike, keep them coming.
Thanks, Michael. I may just start reading only you and disregarding all news including other trusted substack authors. I needed this tonight. Especially now that I've heard that Garland has appointed a special counsel to the investigation.
I'm tired, so, so, tired. Mike, what do you make of the latest Garland decision to appoint a special counsel to oversee the mara-lardo and J6 investigations?
Congrats Madame Speaker on a great legislative career. Please take Chuck Schumer with you. Young, energizing leaders needed in Senate STAT!
Michael Moore you said it all!!

"We will not forget!"
100% nailed it.
Thanks, Mike - for being positive and realistic all in one message.

Interesting! Timing, timing; not What....but WHEN.
You have identified specific opportunities that may not exist later. TAKE 'em, now; take em.
What Schumer did at this time was Inspiring- assuring the right to marry who you Love. Context.

I just hope that a few Republicans have the ability to use their own minds for the good of the nation! Not the a follower but a leader!
The more Republicans Senators and Representatives who think for themselves could change the party. They don’t need the orange Buffon! He needs them!
It is time for a change! The buffoon will never be able to win an election again, people are too smart to let that happen!
Thank you Michael for keeping the truth known!
Love your new episode of Rumble!
❤️🌻❤️
Jennifer Rubin (WaPo) just published her op-ed. MTG and Goetz have announced their first order of business is investigating Hunter's laptop. Really??
Show yourselves to the door! Read the room! Voters are having none of this!
