After reading it, I thought the best way for others to enjoy it is by hearing it read out loud, which adds an extra cringe-level to what it says.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it :)

Today I released my first ever OpEd asking national Democrats to stay out of the process to select Graham Platner’s replacement to take on Susan Collins in the fall.

Normally I would put the entire piece here, but the more people that see it on The Hill website, the further this message will spread.

If you would be so kind to read it there and…

For years, those of us making progressive news and political content have played by rules we didn’t write, on platforms we don’t own, at the mercy of men whose politics are the opposite of everything we stand for. We’ve watched algorithms bury our content without explanation. We’ve seen accounts suspe…

This is on top of reports that the U.S. tourism industry is on track to lose $12 billion in international tourist this year.

The reason? Donald Trump. Plain and simple.

Tariffs, threats of annexation for Canada and sending the military into our streets are all contributing factors for why international travels are avoiding the United States this year.

In other words - a complete own goal. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The murder rate is higher in red states than blue states.

Why Democrats don’t take about this more is beyond me. It’s time to fight back.

So I tried a little experiment on TikTok (which I choose simply because that’s my biggest audience).

I asked men on the left to raise their hands - and over 1,000 have responded within 24 hours.

Honestly, I was blown away, especially by the comments. People from all over the country (many from Oklahoma and Nebraska!) stood up and said they were lefty men and wanted to be part of something bigger.

Which is why I’m now asking all left and left leaning men to stand up in the comments and let me know you’re here.

Why am I doing this? It’s simple. Men are the left’s toughest demographic (especially white men). And without more men on the left, elections are going to be increasingly hard to win - so something needs to change and it needs to change now.

Which is why I’m proud to be part of the and help to bring more men to the left.

So let’s see a share of hands. Who is with me???

Because he didn’t just win — he redefined how candidates can break through the noise…

The Wall Street Journal (not a liberal paper by any stretch of the imagination) has deemed President Trump - T.A.C.O.

Which stands for Trump Always Chickens Out.

They’ve called him this because any time he doesn’t get the results he wants, he extends the deadlines or moves the goalposts.

His bluff gets called basically every time, and every time he is forced to back down.

I know this doesn’t make our situation any better, but at least I enjoyed a good laugh today and I hope you do too!

And while I have you, be sure to check out the latest episode of the with where we discuss why the rule of law still matters.

It’s with that in mind that we’re announcing that we’ve decided to wind down PolitiGood (the podcast) and continue on in newsletter form…for now. But the reasons …

The El Salvador President said they would not return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States - the man who was mistakenly sent to that horrible prison.

All the while, Donald Trump smiled as he made the announcement.

This is not how a democracy is supposed to work. The Supreme Court even ruled that the Trump Administration must return Garcia, something that the they appear to be ignoring now.

It’s bad enough they accidently sent this man to one of Earth’s most notorious prisons. It’s a whole other thing to then refuse to help him return.

This is not what America is supposed to be about. I hope this is the issue that finally makes some Trump voters turn on him. But I’m not holding my breath.

I’ll be going live on Substack at 8:00 pm ET TONIGHT to talk about this and answer any questions you all have about what we need to do to fight back.

Below is a newsletter we sent to the PolitiGood subscribers about the run away success of my latest podcast, Find Out, plus a few other items…

Rangers and other crucial safety programs are getting laid off and slashed. Our guest for this episode, Jon Jarvis (Fmr. Director of the National Park Service) talks about the direct financial benefit of our Parks and the harms that could befall visitors and our national tourism economy.

Rachel and I also ask Jon about how those financial impacts will negatively impact Trump districts and where and how those constituents can locate that critical economic data.

And also: Jon's mustache's Twitter account. (Yes, that's a thing.)

My mom was one of them.

Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act into law on January 5th, one of his final major actions as president.

My Mom was a public school teacher in Maine for close to 40 years, so she had a state pension and never paid into Social Security, so she was not eligible to receive benefits.

My Dad worked a private sector job his entire life (Bath Iron Works - which builds destroyers for the Navy) and did receive benefits once he retired.

When my Dad passed away rather suddenly two years ago - he was under the impression my mom would get his social security benefits when he passed - but he was wrong.

As you can imagine, this causes all kinds of panic and stress at the worst possible time. Imagine losing your partner of over 50 years, and then realizing your financial situation was about to become strained.

Fortunately - President Biden closed that loophole earlier this year. So now my Mom will get what is rightfully hers, something my Dad worked for decades to make sure she would be ok if he went first.

This removes not only a strain on my mom, but me as well. It is now likely she will be ok if she needs to go into a care facility as she ages. This relief is truly only understood by people in this situation - and it is HUGE.

So thank you President Biden. You continued to help people even as your term ended.
