Congratulations. You are an INFLUENCER. I start every weekday with you, Heather and Jessica. True resistance fighters. Best wishes and regards to the managing editor.
Congratulations, Robert, to you and your Managing Editor, for this momentous occasion of having surpassed 50,000 subscriptions! Your growing popularity is well earned by your astute analysis, intrepid fact-based optimism rallying the troops, and frequent turn of phrase such as McCarthy's impeachment of Biden being "whisps of swamp gas!" Thank you for your good work!
I am in Europe on vacation now and thanks to Wi-Fi I read you, Heather and Joyce daily. Thank you for being an anchor of hope.
When I traveled before I was always embraced by locals who looked at America with awe and wonder. On this trip they have embraced me with pity because of our disfunction and the possibility of re-electing a “sociopath” for President. This is sad and pathetic.
May we all show the world by voting in overwhelming numbers that we reject the politics of hate and division.
Given your brilliant analyses of events and their prime movers, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if you reached 500,000 subscribers by Election Day 2024. You deserve it; and it is my ernest hope that your profound faith in our political system is justified . Your daughters (and your subscribers) will all breathe easier! I add my voice to the swelling chorus who is in awe of you and salute your enormous contribution to civil political discourse.
I am an unusual subscriber to your newsletter. Until 2016, I was a hardline Republican who had never voted for a Democrat in her life (75 years). I was a NeverTrump voter from the moment Trump declared his candidacy. I voted third party in 2016 and for Biden in 2020. In 2022 I voted straight Democrat for the first time in my life. I am not only a former Republican, I am also an Evangelical Christian who refuses to vote for Trump.
I will do whatever it takes to keep Trump and his co-horts in crime away from The White House. Your newsletter (recommended to me by a friend) has been a beacon of light and brings joy to my day. I never miss reading it.
Although I now consider myself and Independent voter (I am more conservative than liberal), I will continue to vote for Democrats until Trump and his crime buddies are gone.
As a former Republican I needed a space where I could feel confident I was being told the truth. Your morning newsletter does that for me. Thank you for the time and effort you put it to each daily newsletter. It is greatly appreciated.
To show you how far I have come, I used to watch Fox News exclusively (now MSNBC). I used to listen to conservative talk radio (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, etc.) every day. I have not listened to any of them since 2016.
I am not American. I am Australian. I read your pieces because what happens in America affects the whole world, and the actions of these self opinionated conspiracy peddlers can and will affect day to day life here as well as there. Quite frankly, the thought of a second rabid president, and possibly a third, is terrifying. Thank you for your continued messages of hope.
Robert, you said this newsletter is a small contribution. I would like to heartily disagree with you. This newsletter is an act of courage, generosity and most importantly, of hope. It has become a guiding light. My husband and I are so grateful.
It is us, your readers, who are ever so grateful for your providing us with truths and facts one cannot find by reading the news or watching it on television. Your explanation helps us understand and feel good about who we support. So thank you from the bottom of my heart and good night until we will talk to you tomorrow.
And a PS. I am at this moment (12:15 am) communicating with a Hubbell reader who attended Walk The Walk USA's August event - at your referral --- We are organizing a WALK house party at her retirement home. Thank you.
Thank you for your approach to communicating important information. Your intellect, as well as emotional IQ, is impressive and reassuring. We need more of you!
One has to wonder, what's Maserati driving Manchin's beef with the child tax credit? I don't believe I'm wrong when I propose that West Virginia has been very hard on the majority of its residents whether they work in coal or not. Education, people below the poverty line, life expectancy, etc. For a coal fired multi-millionaire to prioritize his own family's well being over the bulk of his state's residents takes a special kind of callousness.
Thank you so much for your efforts on behalf of our democracy Robert. I am by nature a worrier. Your words educate me and calm me. I read your newsletter pretty much every night. I am deeply grateful for you and for Today’s Edition. You are indeed an influencer (thank you Janet Saunders for pointing this out!! 🧡❤️💜💚💛🤍🧡💜
You’re doing an excellent job, Bob; I admire your hard work, calm demeanor and determination. It’s hard to understand why the right wing can’t see what they’re doing to themselves and our country. Every day they dig themselves deeper into the hole of disloyalty and sedition from which they’ll never escape. It’s such a bad choice. Nonetheless, we’ve always been able to rise above people who make bad choices like these and we will again. We’re doing it everyday and everywhere because the majority of us know right from wrong...and we can vote.
As you like to say, we need to take responsibility for the direction of our country by making sure that qualified adults run for and get elected to Congress so that the excellent agenda being pushed forward by Joe Biden and his supporters can be delivered and successfully implemented.
I rarely watch any mainstream media, except for weather coverage, because their job is to endlessly debate the color & length of every hair on the heads of most politicians. I rely on you, HCR, Joyce Vance, a few others, to distill & make sense of all the craziness. Thank you for this tedious work!
I really appreciate your analysis as well as that of HCR, Joyce Vance, and Jay Kuo. The insights I am getting and the communities I have joined because of your and other Substack blogs make me feel more in touch with who is living in the USA. Thanks for that. I share these notes with my cousin too. She enjoys them as well.
