Thursday 10/11
There is a lot happening throughout the world from Hurricane Michael, to the Saudi Prince ordering detention of journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, but I’m keeping it short today. Sick kids trump heavy new cycles. Keep writing postcards, letters, door knocking, phone banking, and talking with everyone about voting.
1. Democrats up MN as Trump approvals sag
While this is good news this certainly doesn’t mean we can stop all our hard work until the midterms.
“Two years after Donald Trump came close to carrying Minnesota in the presidential election, Democrats enjoy double-digit leads in the state’s two Senate races, its gubernatorial contest and in voters’ preference for party control of Congress — while more than four in 10 likely voters strongly disapprove of the president’s job performance, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.”
Minnesota, you are doing a good job of voting! Keep it up.
Keep talking about voting with anyone and everyone, and encourage them to vote early!
2. Next wave of judicial nominees.
Trump has announced new waves for the federal courts, US Attorney positions, and US Marshals. Thirteen men and zero women. We could encourage the Senate to reject this list outright and refuse any nomination until the WH deals with their discrimination problem, but the GOP and the WH don’t really seem like they support women.
