Now that I have your attention…I’m actually in California visiting family this week and taking a bit of a break from the news cycle, but if anything big happens that needs some fleshing out, I’ll try to peel away and write something up.
I'm on SO many donation email lists I'm paralyzed about where to send my money. To individual races? To an organization that will distribute it? We don't have a ton to give, so guidance appreciated as to where a few hundred bucks will do the most good.
Denise, I have no specific advice on where you might donate. I donate to political teams, canidates, & organized supporters who have digital prowess in important front line states. I send a monthly donation to " Dr Bob " whose Michigan Congessional Campaign Ads double as campaign updates. Go Dr, Bob in the UP & LP. I just sent $50 to Charlie Crist in the vital Florida battle. You cannot go wrong with Stacey Abrams whose heavy impact stretches well beyond GA. Many focused, effective campaigns out there.
Jay & Family, enjoy our state after some very welcome rain.
FYI, on the DOJ's urgent motion to permit the "sources & methods" national security analysis of the 100 or so classified documents
(full appeal comes soon) the 11th Circuit panel has already ordered Trump's attorney's to file their Opposition tomorrow, Tuesday, by 12 NOON Eastern. Per 11th Circuit procedure, because the DOJ only filed a "motion" the matter will be heard by a three (3) Judge appellate panel only. The 11th circuit does NOT hear "en banc" review of decisions on Motions. I expect, the DOJ to reply ASAP by this Wdenesday, 9/21/22. We may have a rapid decision.
Vote as if it’s your last opportunity to do so!
It just might be. 😞

Speaking of voter turnout, did you see this article in WaPo today? It makes me nervous:

Tell MA, we send our love. Enjoy your time with her.
Enjoy the time in California - sorry the weather is crap right now. It's supposed to get better later this week.
