Help us inform to the public to win 2024
The economy, while still difficult for many, has improved a lot. Many policies have not yet been realized because we need a president, a House, and a Senate to pass them. We are on the path to making big changes. But well-funded Right-Wing media, from writers to bloggers to vloggers, are being paid to mislead us. Our platforms, from this newsletter to our blogs, videos, and podcasts, are intent on doing their part to reverse and improve the polls.
