Tony the Democrat has at least four postcard campaigns going.

The usual chips and pretzels, or should I go to the Animal Shelter to get Fluffy and Fido for the grill?

Crazy week, wasn’t it?

I think we had a good week, but that’s debatable.

Groan.

Usual place: postcards, phones, texts, whatever we can find. Catch up on what other groups have been doing.

We appear to be a little ahead. Let’s help Kamala and Gus’s Dad finish the job.

Our goal is to finish the Arizona postcards.

We persist.

We still have a few left out of the 1000 postcards we are writing for AZ State Senate candidate Judy Schwiebert (website). OK, more than a few. Work party 3:00–5:00, usual place.

Also: Monday, June 24, 10:00 a.m., Dem hopeful Monica Tranel (website) will be at our standard meeting place. She is running in MT–01 against the odious Ryan Zinke. Lean/Likely Republican seat, the type we need to flip. Please let me know if you want to attend (not a ticketed event, no donation required), so I know how many donuts to order. Too early in the day for pretzels and chips.

Pursuant to the Indivisible Elmwood by-laws, champagne will be served.

(Non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, too.)

Those of you who wish to phone bank, please bring your laptops. (I don’t know if a tablet will work.) We will also have postcards. We are working for, among others, Judy Schwiebert (AZ Senate–02).

Snap analysis: The Trump die-hards are incensed almost beyond description. Even Susan Collins, coward that she is, found it necessary to condemn the unfair treatment of her Orange Man of Sorrows. They are putting their objections in the language of “rigged” juries and incorrect instructions from the judge, but their hearts speak of the prosecutors, judge, and jurors as Satanic agents. For the ordinary voter holding more orthodox religious views, of any religion, I don’t see this as helping Trump at all.

We can read salacious transcripts of the first week of Trump’s trial, the SCOTUS argument on immunity, today’s primary results…

The political recap was shorter than usual. The primaries are effectively over, and we know what, that is, who, we are up against.

Since the meeting there have been some positive trends. A minor special election for the Alabama State Assembly had a 32-point swing towards the Democrat, where the same Democratic candidate went from a 7-point loss in 2022 to a 25-point win. (Her previous opponent has left the legislature to serve his prison term for corruption.) And Cook Political Report moved two of Nevada’s three Dem-held congressional districts from Lean D to Likely D.

End of quarter financial reports are going to look bleak for Republicans. All the donations are going to Lord Donald’s lawyers. Look for downballot Republicans to start getting antsy.

We finished with some letter-writing for Vote Forward and some postcards. We are low on postcards. Some of you brought nice ones and I am trying to see if I can get a large order of them instead of reprinting our own.

Usual place.

The primaries are over. What’s the state of the election.

Worry less, work more: postcarding, letter-writing.

We will not be raising funds to help Trump cough up $450 million Monday.
