Thanks for your summary! It was very thorough and eye opening and consistent with what I’m hearing elsewhere. I think soon we are going to see more centralized communication and organization. Taking some time to get their feet under them
I think…

You don’t wanna read 30 parts and I don’t want to rewrite them so instead you can find the full summary in my substack notes

I hope everyone’s OK with that

This is very helpful; thank you! One question: what are the "letters" you refer to?

ariellaelm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Look at any Democrats account and you will see them announce that they sent a letter to this organization that person the administration and all the comments under it are why do you bother this is a waste of your time.

This is really great work and incredibly helpful. Thank you. One suggestion: you’re referring to Raskin by his last name, but the female Congresperson by her first name. It’s seems like nothing, but words do matter and using the first name diminishes the level of respect she is due.

ariellaelm.bsky.social•2 days ago

There are some members of Congress that go by their first name and some members of Congress that go by their last name Raskin’s accounts are all under raskin, Stansbury’s personal is under Melanie. It’s not because of their gender it’s because of their preference

Amazing summary! Thank you so much for the daily summaries. These have to take much time and we’re reading them. Keep it coming!

Thanks for putting this together for us Ariella!!

crackenup.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you! This was not only informative, it was also very encouraging hearing what's being done. It's so easy to get lost in all the screaming about no one doing anything.

scrappyaf.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you. Appreciate all of it.

winniesmom88.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mad respect even more than ever for my former Representative Jamie Raskin-inviting Boebert over for dinner.
Now that is Taking One for The Team😧

It’s useless. Sociopaths. Dont. Care. They live for attention. This accomplishes nothing.

kacey325.bsky.social•2 days ago

Great summary.

snowcrone.bsky.social•3 days ago

You are an angel every day. I am so grateful to you for these notes! Sharing them with family and friends. SUCH GOOD NEWS.

Very informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this all together. Incredible effort and it's appreciated.

Shadow government has worked wonderfully in GB. Any fool in D’s who can’t get their head around it needs to retire and let us get on with the fight to save republic. We don’t have time for their political BS. Get a market exec like Donnie Deutsch and let’s go.

thegoodwitch333.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for this. So tired of everyone saying Dems haven’t been doing anything.

nicolegrr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for this. I try to keep up with calls like this, but even tho I’m active I hadn’t heard about it. I’m concerned there is too much decentralization from all these groups and not a clear voice breaking through to the public.

annieru0k.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you!!!! Thank you for your notes!! Sparks of hope!

uuann.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you could clarify to say any constituent can invite a blue rep to speak in their red district, that might help. But to be honest, worrying about overstepping is ridiculous!

ariellaelm.bsky.social•2 days ago

They’re worried about overstepping what the district wants not what the representative wants if they aren’t welcome in the district then that turns into a negative situation they need to be welcomed in

Thank you for your hard work seeking this info and getting it out to us! You are amazing! You are keeping my hope alive and I’m grateful!

Excellent summary, Ariella—I’m passing it on to our leadership team…! 💙

"The secretaries, even the worst of the worst were not OK with EM asking their staff what they did that week."

Seems like they did an about-face on that, because now the secretaries are doing it themselves.

ariellaelm.bsky.social•2 days ago

But by doing it themselves, they are taking away the power from EM. Look they’re vile disgusting people, but the fact that they wouldn’t let him do it says something

robertelliott.bsky.social•2 days ago

"We have to find the language to explain this to people who either don’t get it or don’t think they care"

💯 It all comes back to messaging.

robertelliott.bsky.social•2 days ago

"So the people in favor of a shadow cabinet are having to convince the people not in favor of it that will run smoothly and be successful"

If they don't have *better* ideas, they need to just get on board. We cannot have the perfect being the enemy of the good, or even the try-it-and-learn-from-it.
