When the "Inflation Reduction Bill" is signed, the Democrats will have a boatload of accomplishments to talk about. The GQP can talk about restricting women's rights, flooding the nation with WMDs and fomenting an insurrection! Our list of positves is long and powerful. The GQP is totally out of step with most Americans. Yes, there are Evangelical whackos that provide a base. But despite their chest pounding and moralizing, they are dinosaurs. Their asteroid is about to hit.

Just ftr, $3.50/gal at my last fill-up this week. Kemp has suspended the gas tax, so there may be some fluctuations in the future. But I am absolutely down with the GOP going down. Hard.

Thanks, TC. I am still fussing with my friends who post memes of $6.00 gas signs next to the Capitol riot and say "which of these is more important again" to which it overwhelmingly the money these chowderheads are pumping into their manly trucks and not the attempted coup.

So glad about the uptick in reader numbers. I know I am pushing your knowledge and storytelling, your “I do not tolerate fools, most are ‘cleavered’”, your accuracy on forecasts and willingness to talk about the good, bad, and the ugly, your ability to respond in such a personable and conversational way with your subscribers, and obv your extensive Rolodex. You’ve met a shitload of people over the years, TC.

Thank you. A toast to you. 🥂🗽

No need to despair BUT there is also no need to become euphoric. Work. Work. Work for the best candidates committed to the planet and a political future. Orban gave his usual White Christian Nationalist/racist speech at C-PAC in Texas - and got cheered by most of the room. If folks pay attention, and listen closely, they will hear the telltale sounds of Fascist rhetoric with all the lies, enemies and dark payback times a coming. These times will only come IF we vote for the folks who are pushing the kool-aid. So. Work. Work. Work for the candidates who are NOT spewing conspiracies, lies, and other SH*T. BTW I heard about a new documentary of the same name above that could change how we manage human and other waste for the good of the planet! Wow! A professor at MSU has made this docu all about it. Take a look.

YES!

"And then plan how to insure that ten people you know get out an vote in November, because that is how we will win.

There is no reason for despair over November, and anyone who tells you all is lost is a fucking moron you don’t need to listen to."
