Yep!

Protests are what brought an end to that ridiculous engagement in Vietnam. I can’t read enough articles about protests because it makes me believe that Americans are paying attention.

Thanks for another great article.

PEACE

Michigan is lucky to have Debbie Dingel. Iowa has complicit Congressional characters who play to the MAGA base. The weather service cuts will have impact on farming, fishing, tourism and safety. Thanks Phoebe you reporting always hits home.

Thank you for this piece. In this dismal time when fear is prevailing, it is hopeful that people are waking up to who "leader" of our country really is.

Many of us taxpayers are very eager to hold our government accountable as they are the fiduciary of our tax dollars. Any part of our budget foolishly spent on special interest and/or social influence is unacceptable. Period.

Thank you, Phoebe. I am sorry that so many people are finding out in the worst way possible about all of the good work a civically minded government can do to help people who need a hand up.

Thank you, Phoebe. Keep up the drumbeat. Hopefully, the inevitable consequences of this presidency will change enough minds to put us back on the track of an America we can be proud of once again.

Lawmakers who meet regularly with politically diverse voters earn trust and gain valuable perspective. It is up to reporters to capture real discussion in real time. Thank you for reading, Joe.
