MAKE LOVE GREAT AGAIN

I woke up this morning to a call from Wes Clark Jr. reminding me we’re going to win, and that we’re not going to hand our country over to Nazis, and that these money laundering traitors are going to prison.

How was your morning?

I thought we should start our day with a reminder not to forget love, which is why I sent you a song from my Official Support Canadian, Neil Young:

Don’t Forget Love

We have spent eight years watching the erosion of love and empathy and let’s Make Love Great Again.

BETTE IN THE NEWS

• The Chauncey DeVega Show — I was honored to be invited to join Salon political reporter Chauncey DeVega for his Election Day 2024 ‘Harris or Trump? What Comes Next?’ podcast. Also featured is Joe Walsh, a former Republican Congressman and prominent anti-Trump conservative; D. Earl Stephens, the former managing editor of Stars and Stripes; and journalist and author Stephen Beschloss. I could have talked to Chauncey all night.

• Be Bold America with Jill Cody on KSQD — I also had the honor of spending an hour with best-selling author, political scientist, and radio host Jill Cody on ‘The Choice Between Two Americas’.

Unbelievably grateful for the generous opportunity by my fellow independent reporters to speak my mind in this profoundly historic moment.
