His Substack newsletter, Status Kuo, is always worth reading, and Sunday's says two Senate races are key: Senator Jon Tester in Montana - INCO activists wrote 600 postcards for him! - and Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in Florida. A donation to either or both will help! JANUARY 6 REPORT AND VIDEOS The Associated Press includes videos taken January 6, 2021 as part of 3 years of reporting about the nearly 1500 cases brought by the Department of Justice against the insurrectionists. As Trump, the GOP, and MAGA continue to lie about the attempted coup,this reporting is essential to read and share.  PROJECT 2025: THE GOP'S ANTI-DEMOCRACY BLUEPRINT "Trump has tried to distance himself from the plan, claiming “I have no idea who is behind it,” but six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write it, as did four people he nominated as ambassadors. Some 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff. All told, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in it, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors, and contributors." -- Robert Reich, Substack, September 6, 2024 Watch Robert Reich's video, first in a series, to help you spread the truth about Project 2025 in advance of the upcoming election.
