Not a bad idea

Not a bad idea at all. The two of you should get together and 'tawk amongst yourselves.' We need this.

I keep saying I would love a Kinzinger/Buttigieg ticket ;)...I know you are a Rep...but...............lol....

He may have been a republican but now he seems like a uniting figure for all parties. ☮️☮️☮️☮️

Yes...I've been following Adam since Jan 6 - Liz and Adam....he is a remarkable man/hero to our Country. He has says he's more of a Democrat now than a Republican (which there are no more Reagan ones left).

Expand full comment

I agree

Adam seems like a strong independent, really for the people

Mayor Pete seems to be more open minded than a lot of politicians

They would make a great combo.

Although I think that Adam would have to be at the top of the ticket for obvious but really sad reasons

Personally, it would be a difficult decision

Actually, I think Pete is running for Senate for now. To me, let Pete gain some experience—consider AOC as a running mate and put Jasmine Crockett in as Attorney General. Oh yeah baby.

Please do this. You give me hope.

On Cheri Jacobis today her idea was suggested that Pete Buttigieg give press releases every day-we need Democratic voice in a loud way, we need it all the time. Constant.

Expand full comment

Well I have written my senators and suggested that Mayor Pete, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Jamie Raskin go out every day and explain to the people what this cabal of criminals is doing to us. Going from Adam’s talk today; I am from Oregon and my senators do a town hall in every county every year. Also just a comment about the “great”tea party-they would show up at the town halls my dem senators gave and just scream and yell and that is how those people are still behaving. Anyone who disagrees with them gets screamed at.

I am with you 100%.

Please listen to Simon Rosenberg's interview with journalist Leon Krauze on the Hopium Substack it is very informative. As you stated, the dems have to call out trump's and elon's BS and lies very day.

100% agree on daily news conferences stating the truth and opposing this criminality to help our country and people!

It was ludicrous what James Carville said today in his bs op ed telling Dems/ opponents of this debacle to wait it out..... No Way!

None of my maga blue representatives have done a town hall that I recall

Now Jon Tester would

I miss him

I so hoped he runs against Steve Daines

Excellent

Emanuel Macron is a phenom! He interrupted Trump and clarified what the REAL truth is on the frozen assets!!

Donna I'd like to see this. Can you recommend a link?

Its on YouTube—look for Macron at White House 2.24.25–seated side-by-side with F-47 and discussed their “talks” about Ukraine. Macron KNOWS HOW TO use quiet and polite methods to convince DT to shut the F up!!!

That's what we call Class.

That was so funny.

The look on DonOlds face!

Macron was so composed

Expand full comment

He always is! I have followed him for years (as a super Fan of France) and remain confident that he will be the one to influence F 47 more than any other leader. He is soooo emotionally intelligent and knows how to converse with a lunatic in public

Expand full comment

Thanks Donna, I appreciate this ❤️I've admired Macron since 2018 when he warned Europe they could no longer rely on the US. Of course at the time the response was rather tepid, but he's been proven 100% correct. Trump hasn't got half the intellect or detailed knowledge of recent events as Macron. He's pathetic and a laughing stock.

Welcome!! He is one of the few leaders who can charm Trump without making up lies! I have loved him for many years, and was amazed at how he pushed forward on major repair and restoration of Notre Dame!

I’m hopeful with all the Town Meeting pushbacks!!!!

You are a light of hope!

Hey Guys, there’s an app called “5 Calls” that you can download and it will provide you with your representatives and Senator’s phone numbers. You can select a topic to call about, and it will even provide you a script regarding that topic if you get nervous on the phone. Or just speak your mind. There is even a list of ongoing topics for suggestion. I called today about the republicans billionaire’s budget. Give it a try!

I just got the app thank you for the recommendation this is great!

No problem. It feels like we are all on the front line in a war here (which we are) but we watch each other's back. We are a team forming across this beautiful nation. I posted it on Blue Sky as well. I never go on Twitter/X. Rarely go on Blue Sky. Take care. Another day will follow. I was scheduled to attend a Town Hall meeting tonight, but it was put off by my Representative because of a delay caused by Republicans on the Congress floor. I submitted my questions, and we meet next week instead. And I'm up late and caught news Trump entered into an agreement with Zelensky over Ukrainian minerals. This is very disturbing. Right up there with the White House making a declaration that ends freedom of speech and the free press. I am not having problems sleeping! Hope I don't stay up all night.

Did u see Jon Stewart last night?

Yep amazing

Pretty wild how he sliced up his hand during his mug-smashing rant and just kept right on delivering with perfect comic timing.

We had quite an event south of Kansas City in a VERY VERY RED district—Mark Alford US Rep—articles in KC Star and other places. The republican community didnt just raise their voices - THEY OVERWHELMED the coffee shop where it took place. MANY standing outside!! “NO MORE ELON”—even the REP’s WIFE ⬅️ lost her Fed job….that Rep barely made it out of there unscathed. 💟☮️🇺🇸

Good to see you and hear you, Adam!

The live was great. Town Halls are really the only thing we have at the grassroots level. But if like me, David Schweikert is your Congressman, a town hall will never happen. He has barely won his past few elections and will never anger Trump. He’s gutless.

Expand full comment

He’s a weirdo too

Expand full comment

The weirdest. As I mentioned to you before, the experience you recount in your book is exactly who he is. A pathetic excuse of a man.

Expand full comment

I cannot remember who it was but think it was on one of the podcasts here who encouraged those of us who have a non-responsive representative contact a neighbor state or neighbor district Democratic and voice your concerns thru them. Call the Congress switchboard to reach them or whatever method you can search out. I know that a representative suggested it. Or message Beto O'Rourke for advice. He is spearheading "what can you do this week" podcasts which are great. I am sure he would respond to a message. Good luck. Don't give up. That is what you Congressman hopes you do. Don't. Please.

How about buying some space in the newspaper and publishing a "Where are you?" Letter to My Congressman demanding a Town Hall meeting and get signatures or just do it on your own. Just an idea.

Hold your own town meeting with a cardboard cutout of your Congressman.

Flood his office with phone calls.

You can only reach him by email—shocking. NOT. He’s the worst.

They are mostly all gutless. I just got a reply from Sen Crapo saying Hegseth and Gabbard were good picks he could stand behind after I wrote how unqualified they were. Similar from Risch. Coming on my bobswandby@substack.com soon: “Smoke, Mirrors, Lies and Deceit” an update on the big,fast moves Trump/Musk are making to,gain authoritarian rule.

Unacceptable. You hired HIM, not the other way around, and he swore an oath to the Constitution so it's his job to FAITHFULLY REPRESENT YOU!!

We need to support Ukraine in every way we can, they can win and we need to

push this hard.

Trump is nothing but a Putin asset, since the 1980’s.

They must win!

A few weeks ago Musk called to stop USAID that funded The Voice of America and Radio Free Europe in the country of Ukraine. The oppressed Ukrainians true to their spirit and courage raised $60K to help finance their ability to be connected to the world but it will not sustain for long.

Today, Trump is diddling with disenfranchising our free press. What they do to others they will do to us. Bet on it.

I support Ukraine free press with a subscription to Kyiv Independent. It is the best quality of journalism I have seen in a long time as well. I was amazed.

I also have purchased their merchandise that funds the newspaper and the work of the journalists who work with bombs flying overhead. The merchandise reflects their culture and history and art.

It is one way to help Ukraine hold on to their ability to be heard by the world, but also an awesome newsletter that comes to you every day. www.kyivindependent.com
