Saving You Time: This Week in One Email

Every interview. Every article. And yes, a Dad Joke

This week on Let’s Address This, I sat down with Brad Lander in NY-10 and Rep. Chris Rabb in PA-3, two candidates showing what it means to run people-powered campaigns and challenge entrenched power. We broke down Illinois’ anti-BDS law with Dylan Blaha at a critical moment, examined how Trump’s policies and rhetoric have systematically dehumanized Christians around the globe, and shared guest essays on political realignment and the ongoing reality of anti-Asian hate.

I’ll continue hosting conversations with candidates for U.S. Congress and Senate in the weeks ahead because who we elect matters. We need leaders accountable to people, not corporate interests, who will fight for universal healthcare, confront endless war, demand an end to the genocide, and truly protect universal human rights.

Be sure to join Let’s Address Illinois and Let’s Address Texas if you live in either state. And if you haven’t joined Let’s Address This as a paid subscriber just yet, I welcome your support today.

What Is The Public Thinking?

I’ve always been fascinated by public consensus on critical issues that impact us all, so I’m adding a section to our weekly recap titled—what is the public thinking? This week, what is the American public thinking about the US Senate this November? And right now, there’s a 67% chance of flipping the Senate. That means we must continue to double down our efforts to make it happen and turn this prediction into a reality.

Dad Joke of the Week

Scientists have learned that when two melons grow near one another they form a close bond, just like an actual marriage—but they cantaloupe. :D #DadJokes
