The 3.5% rule explained. We're at 7 million. We need to be at 11 million. The threshold is approaching.
This video beautifully illustrates the point.

"I show up, maybe not as the perfect Democrat, but certainly one that is most electable because I've got the opportunity to bring Democrats, independents, and disgusted Republicans to vote for us in 2026 in November." ~Geoff Duncan
I met this man a couple of weeks ago at a meet & greet. He's the real deal. Don't believe me? Find a way to meet him and talk to him yourself. He'll tell you in his own words how he changed and why: "I got it wrong."
We need to find a way back to the middle. Geoff Duncan is one of those ways. #gapol
Former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan’s decision to run for governor as a Democrat isn’t a stunt. He’s lined up a veteran campaign team, big-time donors and a statewide strategy. But Duncan’s biggest challenge might not be money or organization. It’s trust. #gapol

Geoff Duncan’s Democratic gamble in Georgia tests party loyalty
Former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan’s biggest challenge might not be money or organization, but trust. Once a Republican, he's now running as a Democrat.

Courage is more exhilarating than fear, and in the long run, it is easier.
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Last night I saw a panhandler sitting on the sidewalk near downtown crossing in Boston, reading a battered copy of 1984. I gave her $10.

I can’t get the thought of someone so down with their luck reading 1984 out of my mind.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

When people email me, saying, "Jack...I am so tired. Have any words of wisdom to help me find the motivation to keep moving?," I say this:

If you woke up and discovered a spider on your face...would you need to be motivated to get up?

As a someone in this country, you have a spider on your face.

Amaryllis belladonna (Naked Ladies) blooming late summer - and what's better? It's a #PoisonousPlant: contains lycorine, a toxic alkaloid found in the bulbs and foliage, and one of my choices for the White House Kitchen Garden this year!
