I've had to listen to a lot of music lately to offset talking to Republicans on the phone. I've listened to everything, but I'm cutting off love songs for now. We could use more wolf-centric songs.

OH Dems called me asking me to pick up more phonebanking, it's been sounding like they need help. Sherrod Brown could determine the direction of the Senate. If you can. thanks

emiandthedesertcrow: On the superseding indictment: "TFG's personal lawyer - Todd Blanche - referred the BBC to the TFG campaign, which did not respond to a request for comment. Sorry Todd, all's fair in love, war, & indictments against the criminal TFG." - But Kamala needs to please the press...
