Great newsletter today. The first half was so hopeful describing Jack Smith, the coolest cat in the universe, and his steady hand. That was not performance; that was discipline. He made those idiot Republicans look like, well, idiots. And, yes, for history, it is all on the record.

The second half of the newsletter was so different in tone. It seemed to shriek with its descriptions of Twump's behavior like the audience shrieks when the bad man is behind the door. We can see it and our hearts are beating faster, but damn it, why can't that person walking into the room know that the monster behind the door is Twump? Get out!

Everyone should watch the 4 minute presentation that Jared Kushner gave on the "re-building" of Gaza. It was totally disgusting, and Jared comes across as a junior high schooler giving a book report. Note when he talks about all those who are contributing to the PLAN that there are no Palestinians on the Peace Board being asked about their vision for the future of their country. Another way fascism slips past our view.

It was cringeworthy and so callous towards the Palestinians

Yes, I agree with everyone else. A super newsletter, once again. But, a little side note for humor, when Vance was here in MN, he said "If we're trying to find a sex offender, tell us where the guy lives." Duh. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.!

Again,thank you for this great summary. Thanks to Jack Smith, we now have Jan. 6th in the official historical record. I still hope we have him and his goons impeached and serving jail time long before the midterms. 🙏

Oh Mary! Still batting 1000 amazingly! Hit it out of the park again making the egregiously depressing accessible and uniting us with a recipe for resistance! Thank you 👊✊🙏🏼

Excellent report on Jack Smith. I see Bored of Peace, Untruth Social, and Homeland Insecurity. Can't help it.

Your letters are illuminating and entertaining, although, frequently depressing. Not your fault but the circumstances of your subject matter.

The felons latest grift, the Peace Board, has reminded me of the scene in the Austin Powers movie where Dr Evil is at the big conference table with his assorted henchmen.

The shutdown of business in Minneapolis has a feel of a slight ray of hope in the fight back.

Bravo!! The United States exists because Americans made it. We will not allow one crazed lunatic to destroy us.

Mad King Trump's insanity is becoming ever more evident. My favorite part of the entire saga was Trump rage-banishing Canada from the “most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled” — let's rename that Trump’s Treehouse Council of Self-Validation.

If Board of Peace had a Yelp page, it would be listed with zero stars and a note: “host became hostile when we declined to pay $1B.”

When the people lead, the leaders will follow. It’s time for Congress to start blocking Trump’s awful agenda.
