You are the hardest working political caregiver I have come across. I only wish there were many more like you. Thanks for all you do for our country and keep telling like it is.

As someone who knows Katie, she is absolutely the hardest working person I know.

I volunteered in your 2018 campaign, am a founding (very small) donor, and I know you have a tough race, but, I badly want Orange County representation in the U.S. Senate. Your qualifications and political philosophy are exactly what Orange County and the U.S. Senate need!

Hi Pam! Wonder if we volunteered together in 2018?! I was sort of everywhere and doing everything.

I've seen this Substack before. Adam Kinzinger has one going. I am on it. I don't have a lot to give but donate when I can, as I do to you. Wish it was more. He has several movements going to try to keep MAGA away from DC>

I was appalled but not surprised at the selection for Speaker. I'm in Nevada but admire you and support you. I really want you to win so badly.

I’ll pull out my whiteboard and show you exactly why Israel should NOT receive any more US tax dollars to massacre Palestinians

For us illiterates, could you please spell out what "TLDR" means?

Separately, the Johnson election has me truly depressed. The man's comments - like the one about how our workforce shortage is because there are too many abortions - are just sick. I could use an intellectual white board session right now. Thanks for the fight Katie!

TL;DR is an internet abbreviation for "Too Long; Didn't Read". It usually is used to mean, "quick summary is that...".

The speaker does believe in democracy Democrats on the left who want to make the administrative state of a sovereign entity.

Someone who believes in democracy doesn't attempt to discredit and overthrow a lawful election

When they got rid of all the election fraud from the 2020 elections, Trump won the 2024 by a substantial margin. Just look at the documentaries on election fraud in 2020 start with “1000 mules “

I would like to have your insights into the starvation of libraries and humanities programs over the years. I am more than suspicious that that is how we got to where awe are.

Mike Johnson is from my State. He is level headed and truthful, unlike the democrat posers who constantly lie to America through a fully brainwashed media. Kevin McCarthy was owned by Democrats. Mike Johnson will do well to correct what damage the democrats have done to our nation. You are trying to impose communism. America is not a communist country.

This morning I heard Mr. Johnson (this was via public radio) say he believes God put him and all of his colleagues in their position of power. By democracy's last count—and the last time I checked—it's voters who put people into power. I'm sure his reply to that would be that the voters are merely carrying out God's true will. It's an incredibly efficient circular argument.

Keep going Katie. Ensuring the future survival of democracy is your main job.

Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Johnson looks so reasonable and civil on the surface. https://jimbuie.substack.com/p/a-new-speaker-of-the-house-takes

Hey Rep Porter, welcome to Substack. Just what we need - campaign messaging via newsletter format 🙄

Can you scribble on your whiteboard for Senator Klobuchar that she is trying to censor this PLATFORM even you’re publishing to?

This is because she doesn’t like what a few of the contributors to it write about your party’s authoritarian policies, so she’s petitioning Jeff Bezos to remove Substack article references from Alexa search. Sounds VERY free speech American to me. TOTALLY reflective of 2023 Democratic Party ideology - censor anything I disagree with!
