Good News Roundup for Friday, August 11, 2023: When We Show Up, We Win [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2023-08-11
Welcome 🌻 to Friday’s Roundup of Good News!
Sometimes it feels as if you’re doing the same thing over and over. Sometimes it feels as if you’re losing your edge.
I know how you feel. I’ve been there, in many situations, with work, with life, with writing, and yes, with the GNR.
But — although how we feel matters, what we do matters more.
We have beaten back some of the dark forces, but they still exist. So we have to show up. To vote. To organize. To persuade, To encourage.
And, if we feel as if we’re repeating ourselves, remember: Repetition is good. Repetition is good.
The good news — and there’s a lot of it — is that our efforts make a difference.
I know that not everyone can show up every time. It’s OK to take a break, to rely on others to take up the slack.
Not only is this struggle a marathon, but it’s a marathon relay, where others get tagged and they carry the baton for a while.
Come in, dear gnusies, and refresh yourselves, and see how others are running in the great marathon relay to make the world a better place.
Regular Scheduled Programming
No one here is naïve; we are aware of the many who are fighting to destroy our country. Some of us expected it: the cheating, the lying, the chaos, and yes, even the attempts to cling to power despite the clear will of the people. But we are here to read the efforts and the positive results of those (including us and our fellow gnus) who are working so hard to save our country from those very bad people. We are furious with them for what they are doing and we are letting them know. Remember:
💙 There are more of us than there are of them.
💛 They are terrified when we organize. THERE IS LOTS OF EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE TERRIFIED!
💔 They want us to be demoralized. The best way to keep up your spirits is to fight. So, take the time to recharge your batteries, but find ways to contribute to the well-being of our country and our world.
🗽 Biden as President ! 🗽
Biden, Harris and their administration have been hard at work (well, the first three days of the week, President Biden was still on vacation). Here are the last week’s posts at the White House briefing room.
👎 Out with the Bad, In with the Good 👍
👍 Special Counsel proposes January 2, 2024 as tRump’s coup trial date Jake Lahut and Jose Pagliery, The Daily Beast
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office wants to put former President Donald Trump on trial for his attempted coup in January next year—a move that, if approved by a judge, could brand him a felon before the biggest GOP presidential primaries. In a filing on Thursday, the special counsel’s office proposed a trial date of January 2, 2024, which they say would take “no longer than four to six weeks.” Should U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya approve that date, Trump’s trial could be done and dusted before the GOP’s primaries in South Carolina and Michigan, with plenty of time before the delegate-rich slate of Super Tuesday states in March.
👍 I like the next generation. If you can’t read the tweet, it’s about the Ohio state uniersity campus voting 98% for NO.
x After trump was elected, Obama was asked what gave him hope. He said the young people would come of age, rise up, and wash over the country like a wave of hope.

👍 🌵 New national monument in Arizona! Andy Corbley, Good News Network
1 million acres of public land to the north, south, and northeast, of Grand Canyon National Park have officially been turned into a national monument after lobbying efforts by Arizona tribal nations. In English, it is to be called Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, based on the translations of the proposed name by the Havasupai and Hopi nations of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni, which means “where our ancestors roamed.” The new monument protects thousands of cultural and sacred sites—places of natural beauty like spring-fed waterfalls, or Gray Mountain, called Dziłbeeh by the Navajo, which are precious to tribal nations in the Southwest.
👍 Good news on the economy:
x Despite what you are hearing inflation did not increase last month.
The BLS's CPI increased 0.2 in June, and 0.2 in July, 2.4% annualized, and increased 2.0% annualized over the last 3 months.
It's simply WRONG to say that inflation increased last month. It did not.

👎 You may have heard that Tuberville lives in Florida. Apparently Hawley doesn’t live in Missouri, but has a house in Northern Virginia. Now, people can choose the senators they want, but carpet-bagging usually disliked.
x Dr. Oz didn’t live in Pennsylvania — he lost.
Herschel Walker didn’t live in Georgia — he lost.
Josh Hawley doesn’t live in Missouri — and should get voted out.
Tommy Tuberville doesn’t live in Alabama — and should get voted out. — Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) August 11, 2023
👎 I almost did not include this, but it’s useful information:

💣 Republicans: Party of Crimes and Chaos 💣
One thing we’ve been wondering is how the Rs can still support the former guy. There have been all sorts of theories. Some, like Tuberville, seem to align with what tRump is doing. Others, like Lindsey Graham, have been wishy-washy, while others really, really hope he will fade away.
Lots of regrets:
x Something rather stunning occurred during the course of this August 3rd edition of “The Breakdown” with Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson and Tara Setmayer @TaraSetmayer
A very, VERY senior member of the Trump administration — whom Rick Wilson agreed not to identify — sent a message… pic.twitter.com/T6RBrspHNy — Stephanie Kennedy (@WordswithSteph) August 6, 2023
And here’s the message that was sent:
A very, VERY senior member of the Trump administration — whom Rick Wilson agreed not to identify — sent a message directly to Wilson. Rick shared the message with the audience of the show, never revealing the identity of the sender. The message was as follows: “I regret serving in his administration more than anything I’ve ever done in my life. Keep going. You’re patriots. Don’t quit.”After reading the message to the Breakdown audience, Wilson ended the brief segment with a few choice words of his own: “And if you knew who that was, your f*cking eyes would pop out.”
I know he should have used his name. But even without it, it lets us know that they hate him and will work against him.
An R who is daring to use his own name:
x Quite a contrast from when Mo stood on the stage in his bulletproof vest on J6 and told the mob: “Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass!” pic.twitter.com/KfD5H9ctXm — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) August 6, 2023
To Impeach President Biden or Not? McConnell not happy Emine YücelTalking Points Memo
the cold water bucket is waiting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) nodded at what’s been relatively clear since House Republicans first began making noise about opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden: He — and many Republicans — are hoping not to go there. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” McConnell said in an interview with the New York Times. “This is not good for the country.” As Democrats control the Senate, McConnell has not publicly weighed in on the subject of impeaching Biden yet. But his far-right colleagues in the House have been pushing it for months and House Republican leadership signaled an openness to it just before the August recess – though House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has tried to downplay the seriousness of such a move by saying he’s only open to an impeachment inquiry at the moment.
tRump’s criminal woes may sink the GOP in 2024 Alexander Bolton The Hill
GOP strategists and pollsters expect former President Trump’s criminal trials to divide their party, creating a challenge for the Senate and House Republican candidates who will have to walk a fine line on the issue. Trump’s legal troubles and his escalating battle with the Department of Justice will a become litmus test in GOP primaries next year — just as Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen helped define candidates as MAGA-aligned in 2022, GOP strategists say. Candidates running in swing states and districts, especially Republicans trying to appeal to independent and college-educated women, will have to keep their distance from Trump’s legal problems, which could become a major liability for the GOP in the general election, they say. Whit Ayres, a prominent Republican pollster, said Trump “has major problems, particularly with college-educated women.”
Federal grand jury meeting to look into impeached TX AG Paxton, Ryan Autullo and Tony Plohetski, Austin American Statesman
Federal prosecutors have seated a grand jury in San Antonio and called witnesses close to suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to testify, two sources with knowledge of the investigation told the American-Statesman. The purpose of the testimony is unclear, but it comes days after Paxton's attorney confirmed last week that there is an active federal investigation of his client. Federal investigators began looking into Paxton in October 2020 following a report by top aides alleging that Paxton misused his position as the state's top lawyer to assist a campaign donor, Austin real estate developer Nate Paul, then the target of a separate FBI probe.
There are SO many things Paxton could be in trouble for.
The rot is not just at the top, but runs deep: GOP Congressional candidate plagiarized Maga Cum Laude Roger Sollenberger The Daily Beast
Right-wing Florida Republican congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini is not afraid to trumpet his resume, including his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, where—according to his LinkedIn, Legistorm, Wikipedia, law firm, and Timeshare Information Center bios—he graduated with honors, magna cum laude. But Sabatini’s honors thesis—a 2012 treatise on the political legacy of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, titled “A Profound Logic of The Blood”—is wildly plagiarized. The Daily Beast’s review of the paper found that Sabatini lifted an astonishing amount of content verbatim from other sources. Worse, Sabatini—who double-majored in history and philosophy before being admitted to law school, also at the University of Florida—frequently pulls his passages from Wikipedia, and presents them without the required quotation marks or any clear attribution whatsoever.
MTG only works with the “best people”… if you can’t read the tweet, it’s about her campaign manager and others needing to pay penalties for a phony charity.
x Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 2020 campaign manager and two others have agreed to pay more than $50,000 in restitution and penalties for their roles in operating a phony East Palestine charity in the aftermath of a widely-publicized train derailment

🚚 💙 Democrats Deliver 💙 🚚
Not only are Ds delivering, but President Biden is finally taking credit. And if you’ve seen this before, remember, repetition is good:

Here’s Beau of the Fifth Column talking about how effective these will be, especially in rural areas:
In the same vein: Governor Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania) shows how to change hearts and minds. EJ DIonne, Washington Post
You might know Shapiro as the guy who got a collapsed part of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia fixed within 12 days. Given how long public projects take to complete, he deserved all the attention he got for this achievement. ✂️ For Shapiro, the I-95 moment is part of a larger task: to prove to voters that government can be effective and also operate in the interest of those who feel left out, left behind and disrespected. “You’ve got to show up everywhere, and you’ve got to speak to everyone, and you've got to speak in plain language and in practical terms,” he told me in an interview last week in the final days of settling a tough state budget fight. He noted that in his 2022 campaign, “I went to counties the Democrats had written off a long time ago and spoke about workforce development and spoke about how we're going to bring back the economy and talked about it in very tangible, practical ways.” ✂️ He’s certainly not alone in this. His party now has a regiment of governors — Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, Wes Moore in Maryland, Gavin Newsom in California, Maura Healey in Massachusetts and Andy Beshear in Kentucky, to name a few — pushing back against right-wing culture warfare with an emphasis on inclusion and practical achievement.
Polling numbers for Shapiro show that his approach is working really well. He’s also made it much easier for those without college degrees to work for the government.

President Biden on one-year anniversary of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act White House Briefing Room
Wrong sort of chips... One year ago today, I signed into law the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act to revitalize American leadership in semiconductors, strengthen our supply chains, protect our national security, and advance American competitiveness.
America invented semiconductors – and today, they power everything from cell phones to cars to refrigerators. But over time, the United States went from producing nearly 40% of the world’s chips to just over 10%, making our economy vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions.
The CHIPS and Science Act aims to change that.
In the year since I signed this legislation into law, companies have announced over $166 billion to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States. These investments are creating jobs and opportunities in communities across the country – from Ohio to Arizona, Texas and New York. And, in the last year alone, at least 50 community colleges have announced new or expanded programs to help American workers access good-paying jobs in the semiconductor industry.
The CHIPS and Science Act is a key part of my Bidenomics agenda to bring investment and opportunity to every corner of the country. Over the coming months, my Administration will continue to implement this historic law, make sure American union workers, small businesses, and families benefit from investments spurred by the CHIPS and Science Act, and make America once again a leader in semiconductor manufacturing and less dependent on other countries for our electronics or clean energy supply chains.
This was a fairly bipartisan bill, getting support from 17 R senators (and opposed by Bernie Sanders). It never would have passed, however, in McCarthy’s House. Also, we have to give credit to the Rs for coining the term Bidenomics. We’re using their marketing ability!
Speaking of McCarthy, he may have to turn to team blue because some of his people are bat 💩 crazy. Nicole LaFond, Talking Points Memo
If his impeachment inquiry noise-making gambit doesn’t work in swaying far-right House Republicans to get in line and move forward with appropriations bills that are at least passable in the Democrat-controlled Senate, then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy may have to grovel at House Democrats’ feet — again. That’s what at least one member of his Republican caucus acknowledged this week while lawmakers are home on August recess. The House wrapped up for the month weeks ago after only having passed a handful of appropriations bills out of committee that are dead on arrival in the Senate. This delay in the appropriations process is the result of more hostage-taking from far-right Republicans who are mucking up the normal appropriations process by tacking riders onto appropriations bills that fan culture war flames, like restricting abortion access for members of the military or gutting diversity initiatives. Even if enough Republicans get on board with the far-right edited appropriations bills that these bills can pass in the House, the Senate will ultimately end up writing and passing its own versions of the bills, ending up at an impasse with the lower chamber. Passing a Senate version of the bill in the House — sans right-wing grievance riders — may require some support from House Democrats, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) acknowledged to Politico in a piece published Thursday.
📥 Actions You Can Take 📤
Tax-exempt organization complaint referrals. 13909. You can fill this out for the NRA and lots of other organizations. How about if some of us white folk go into some of the MAGA churches and video record what they’re saying?
Voting rights. This may be the biggest issue threatening our democracy right now. Besides contacting your representatives at the state and federal level to do the right thing (depending on who they are), you can support and contact these organizations:
ACLU — American Civil Liberties Union
Democracy Docket — founded by Marc Elias, so important in fighting the challenges after the last election.
Fair Fight — founded by Stacey Abrams
🌱Grass roots. Biden and Harris can do the top-down stuff, but we have to support from the bottom. I don’t know how to deprogram 75 million people, but some things have been written about, such as deep canvassing, and lots of people are talking about this. If you know someone (who did not storm the Capitol), then see if you can be pleasant. Instead of trying to reason with them (logic is obviously not their strong point) distract them with something else. We need to remove the sources of lies and to take down the temperature. If we get more of the Rs to wear masks and to get vaccinated and to vote for Ds, the country will be a better place. We need to coax some of them out of the rabbit holes and diffuse the anger and the crazy.
🏃 Run for something. If you want to run for something, but have no idea what to do, these people will help you. They also like money and volunteers to help those people who are running, so even if you’re not in a position to stand for office, you can help. Note: they are especially planning to target the 57 Rs in local governments who participated in the insurrection.
👎 Defund the seditionists. Defund the seditionists. This is a list with companies that sometimes have donated to the seditionists. The list is long. You will recognize many of the corporations, and you probably have a relationship with some — either you are a customer, a shareholder, or maybe even an employee. Contact them and compliment or complain, but let them know you are watching. Forward it to others.

In a special report on Defendant Donald Trump’s failed bid to evade federal charges, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber dissects Trump’s unusual decision to declare a presidential campaign early, and deploys reporting, primary source materials and legal analysis to meticulously show how Trump’s effort to game the system and backfired. Melber draws on the tragedy “Oedipus Rex” to show how Trump got outmaneuvered. The report also shows a legal projection suggesting that had Trump simply followed tradition, and not tried to announce early, under DOJ rules, he likely would not have faced federal charges at all.
Note if you don’t feel like watching, I understand. Basically, if tRump had not declared until the point when candidates usually declare, probably AG Garland would not have appointed Jack Smith when he did. It was tRump’s declaration for president that compelled AG Garland to appoint Jack Smith. Given the DOJ’s distaste for influencing politics, they would not have pursued charges during the last bits of the election. Only tRump’s declaration to run led to the appointment of the special counsel.
Why is this like Oedipus Rex? Because Oedipus, in an effort to avoid his fate, took actions that led him to it.
Well, this is good, finally:

Football great Brett Favre, who benefitted by helping to siphon off money meant for the poor, can’t be taken off lawsuit Associated Press via NBC News
JACKSON, Miss.— The Mississippi Supreme Court says it will not remove NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre as a defendant in a civil lawsuit that seeks to recover millions of dollars of misspent welfare money meant to help some of the poorest people in the United States. A panel of three justices issued a brief ruling Wednesday, denying an appeal from Favre.
📣 Let’s Honor Truth ☀️️
Often we focus here on people who have told the truth because they knew something that others did not. Sometimes they wanted to tell the truth, and other times, they were reluctant. Both are important.
But another type of truth teller is the type who is compelled to do so out of a love of country. If you can, watch this interview:

If you can’t listen, here’s a lot of the text: This is one of the most profound videos I’ve filmed since the rise of Trump. I asked him why he was there. Tears rolled down his cheeks. His father who was a WWII veteran (like my dad) told him “We gotta stop this guy”. He was a squadron commander and he lost 110 men and he never got a scratch. And he lived his whole life trying to be worthy of their sacrifice. And he asked me to do the same. So this is a very small thing to do. But why everyone in the country isn’t doing this and trying to understand what this man is doing to our country. I don’t get it. But everybody needs to do something to stop this guy.”
We award medals of truth to this man, and to Sandi Bachom, who filmed him, because they are out there telling the truth.
🌹 Let’s Celebrate Love ❤️
❤️ I don’t often focus on actual love stories, but this one is so beautiful. She hired him as a caregiver for her family. They fell in love. Sydney Page, Washington Page
Sanhai’s husband had died a few years earlier of a heart attack, leaving her to raise her two sons as a single mother. In the aftermath, she moved from Owings Mills, Md., to Cary, N.C., for a new job. Not long after they relocated, the family faced another crisis in 2014: Sanhai’s father had a stroke, sending her on a desperate search for a caregiver. Her job as a scientist was demanding, and Sanhai needed someone to tend to her father — who moved in with her family after the stroke — as well as help out with her two sons, then 16 and 10. ✂️ Her son had a writing tutor named Marianne who overheard Sanhai talking about her need for help around the house. Marianne said that her older brother, Madar, was a recently retired widower who was very capable but feeling somewhat lonely and adrift. Marianne said Madar might be a good fit for the job. “I was looking for a new direction in life,” said Madar, now 64.

Kid (Strickland) raises funds to pay off school lunch debt Good Morning America
DeJuan Strickland, 14, remembered what it was like to be hungry as a fourth grader at Missouri’s McCurdy Elementary, and not knowing how he would eat lunch that day. That feeling made Strickland determined to make sure no one at his former school would feel that way. Strickland helped pay off his former elementary school’s unpaid student lunch debt this year after posting a GoFundMe fundraiser online with the original goal of raising $200. “This is important to me because sometimes the only nutritious meal for kids is at school,” Strickland wrote in the fundraiser's description. ✂️ The fundraising campaign has amassed over $4,000, $2,500 of which Strickland plans to give to Hazelwood, while searching for another district in need for the remainder of the funds. “This is a huge problem,” said Strickland. “The fact that kids aren't going to be able to eat, that's a problem.”
He also wonders why some schools fund all lunches and others don’t, but that’s another issue. What a great young man!
🐮 Yes, I’ve seen stuff like this:
There may be much less plastic in the water than we thought Andy Corbley, Good News Network
Scientists in the Netherlands have shown quite convincingly that the issue of plastic pollution in our oceans is far smaller than anyone believed. Their research highlights a variety of good news tidbits: the first one being that abstract scientific modeling can be more than just wrong, but completely wrong, and the second is that organizations pulling trash out of the oceans and rivers today aren’t simply mowing a golf course with nail clippers: they’re making a significant difference to these ecosystems. According to the Netherlands Times reporting on the study, estimates for how much plastic has made it into the oceans over the last 20 years range from 50 million tons to 300 million tons, but the actual amount is likely somewhere around 3.2 million tons. ✂️ These discoveries are vital because they can help remove the sense of hopelessness from people wanting to try and make a difference. Even the loudest climate-hollering nation-state had no desire to even crack an idea about how to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch before The Ocean Cleanup started doing it alone.
