I am a week late to this because of travel - I am now sitting down to a weeks worth of newsletter that I carefully save. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your thorough assimilation of the news, the articles you point us toward, AND your unwavering well deserved support of Joe Biden. Thank you for all you are doing, I find it immensely valuable and helpful.
I like your newsletter and I also like reading Jessica Craven of Chop Wood Carry Water, Robert Reich of Inequity media and sometimes Heather Cox Richardson. I also watch Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin daily. I also like Zeteo by Medhi Hasan.
Such a relief to have MTG thrust out of the spotlight, where she never belonged. As well, it is encouraging that the NY trial is going well, since we are being robbed of timely justice in Florida and Georgia. As for your “cheerleading” - thank you! It’s important that we acknowledge and support the hard and successful work of this administration. You do that beautifully!
Robert, I am one of those who took a break. Got my house painted on the exterior and 4 rooms repainted on the inside. I have never done that before and man, talk about a refresh that was badly needed! Your newsletters always give me an honest and truthful account of what’s going on in our lives.
I've been mulling over the last two issues of your newsletter, Robert. I fervently agree that we need to amplify all of President Biden's accomplishments because so many people have no idea. I just spoke with my 65-year-old sister, a lifelong Democrat, who said, "Biden is an ok President, but look at the inflation rate. It's at an all-time high." I asked what the source was for her comment, and she said her local news channel (she lives in Westchester County, NY). SIGH. This got me thinking as well. So I've decided to re-engineer the Swing Left San Gabriel Valley (SL SGV) SPOTLIGHT! newsletter to help our readers become familiar with how the Biden Administration is making life better for Americans. As we engage with family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and others who are dubious about Biden or unfamiliar with his accomplishments, being knowledgeable about those accomplishments is critical. I wouldn't have made this shift in focus without your newsletter and your readers' comments. Thank you.
I’d bet we don’t want to waste our time trying to impeach Judge Cannon now. BUT once Joe Biden is re-elected and the Dems hold both the Senate & House that might well be worth our time.
Well! Maybe! If we get a win like that maybe we can move on to actually governing and addressing some of the country’s critical issues.
I hope you keep reporting on the positives of President Biden since you have been correct about the news not reporting the accomplishments of President Biden. With your story about Racine, Wisconsin I did a search through today's headlines/breaking news. There was only one mention from CNN with the tagline "Biden takes aim at Trump for failed Foxconn project…" There was not one mention in NBC, ABC, CBS, US News, USA Today, NY Times, AP News, Reuters or Washington Post. I guess that story was neither a headline or breaking news.
I’m a midwesterner by heart and was excited with the Racine Wisconsin news! I appreciate President Biden for many reasons and am a cheerleader for him. I went to the link you provided and appreciated the graphs. I also subscrib to other newsletters. However, Robert Hubble’s newsletter is my Home Base. Thank for the work you do 🙏🌺
Never doubt how extremely valuable and greatly appreciated your insights are for readers like me. I particularly gain perspective from your long view. Every president deserves to have his/her efforts and accomplishments acknowledged out of respect for the individual as well as for the office. Cheerleader sounds so flip, but cheering the leader when deserved sounds like very citizen's duty.
Robert thank you for helpful advice the other day on “trying to convince “ young voters to not abstain because of Israel. Your clear and perfect advice — that I take to heed — was to focus on, for instance, the unregistered.
And now that Biden is (finally!) starting to stand up to Netanyahu, he is of course getting pushback from the hard core Israel voters .
To my mind this minefield is of largely his own making. The warnings have been there.
I greatly appreciate all of your many efforts in writing your newsletter, Robert, and look forward to reading it every day. I appreciate your research, expertise, dedication, encouragement and efforts to encourage hope. You are Biden’s cheerleader and we all should be as we do this important work of saving our democracy. While I do appreciate other newsletters, you, Heather and Joyce are my daily must reads. Thank you thank you!
So, are voters uninformed, misinformed or just plain ignorant? Check out this quote from Politico:
“Voters say they don’t know very much about President Joe Biden’s major domestic spending initiatives. They don’t think they’re working. And they don’t give him credit for their benefits, anyway.”
“Of the four laws passed in 2021 or 2022, only Biden’s climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act, garnered a majority of poll respondents who said they’d heard ‘a lot’ or even ‘some’ about it.”
“Few voters said the clean energy and infrastructure projects that Biden is championing have had a major impact in their communities or increased jobs.”
“Voters even give former President Donald Trump almost as much credit as Biden for advancing infrastructure spending — even though Trump’s succession of accomplishment-free ‘Infrastructure Weeks’ became a running joke during his administration.”
“His messages aren’t landing — at least not beyond voters who don’t already identify as Democrats. Republicans are characteristically averse to crediting Biden, but so are self-identified independents, some of whom are the kinds of swing voters who could determine the result of the November election.”
What's it going to take for voters to get the message?
Is there a way to search across your posts for reference to postcards? And if not is there a postcard writing organization that you recommend over others as most effective in their targeting and messaging?

I read your posting everyday. I might not get to it until later in the day but I wouldn’t miss it.

However as you said we focus on what we can do

I am motivated to make three comments about today’s newsletter.
1. Aileen Cannon must have been looking in the mirror when “impudent” came to mind except, wait, she has no mind.
2. I love Joe Biden. He has heart and mind. He will finish the job.
3. The substantive commentary and psychological guidance through these difficult times by you, Robert, is elevating. Thank you.
I greatly appreciate all of your many efforts in writing your newsletter, Robert, and look forward to reading it every day. I appreciate your research, expertise, dedication, encouragement and efforts to encourage hope. You are Biden’s cheerleader and we all should be as we do this important work of saving our democracy. While I do appreciate other newsletters, you, Heather and Joyce are my daily must reads. Thank you thank you!
Give me a "B"! Yep, another "cheerleader" here for President Biden! No going back to 2016.
