Dear DNC:

Please, stop behaving like a locomotive and act more like high-speed rail…with superconductors!

We don't need you to reprint or summarize old news. Put links to your website for that.

We need someone with testicular fortitude to get to a microphone EVERY DAY and start promoting a platform. Take a survey for input if you need to. Live stream. Wake up. PLEASE.

I just watched your video I missed the first 10 minutes but I'm very confused because I don't know how to use this Haystack. So I don't know how to sign up for anything. You have to remember there's a lot of baby boomers that we are into the social media as much as your generation is. Please help

Although I don't agree with everything he says, I think a lot of the points are insightful and accurate. I don't see the Dems moving in the right direction. See this post from the Thacher Report https://substack.com/@zacharythacher/note/p-162490336?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=2mrovr.

YES! I love this newsletter so much. Especially for people who don't want to get the fundraising emails this is a perfect compromise.

Why haven't the Democrats initiated impeaching Pete Hegseth

Also ALL of the people that participated in the security chat - including J D Vance ?

One person at a time - so that you can capture the news cycle

Legally you CAN impeach him

You can legally do a lot of things, but without the votes, it doesn't really matter. We don't have the votes to impeach. You can wishful think all you want, but the time to make that possible was back in Nov

We can be in the news cycle

And keep reminding people about these things - It is a way of protesting legally and safely.

Remember ALL the hearings they had on the 'Hunter Biden laptop'

Also it forces the Republican members into admitting they do not care about national security. So, in my opinion it is a win win situation.

OK. So who is DNC proposing to fill Pappas' seat in NH? Let me guess... a party insider.

The newsletter is getting better, I think most people following want to see stories they can connect to and not updates on internal reorganizations or meetings.

Is the DNC going to reverse its position on equality in voting?

This particular newsletter shows at least some improvements over previous DNC messages; still though I am unpersuaded as to whether or not it is a demonstrated understanding of the actual reality of this moment in time.

I do very much want to see more fight coming from Democratic/Liberal quarters, and until I do I will simply continue following before I consider subscribing and recommending this Newsletter to my readers.

Please consider my more recent essays.
