A new service I will be providing
Curated news you might have missed, or missed the significance of
As those of you already on my mailing list may have noticed, I have tried to identify and forward links to news items that you might have missed, and/or may have special significance. Yet, with way too much info bombarding us every day, I have had mixed feelings about sending out multiple emails on any given day. So, to address this challenge, I am launching a periodic Substack newsletter (like this one), where I will assemble various curated news items in one email. I hope you will find this new approach worthwhile and I welcome your feedback. Please feel free to share this newsletter with your friends and family, including on your social media.
Billionaire’s pick for AZ Senate starts by lying (of course)…
I hadn’t hear do Blake Masters until we started seeing his campaign posters lining the streets in the greater Phx metro area. Huge and expensive, they sport slogans like “Blake Masters Will Prosecute Fauci in the Senate,” and “Blake Masters Will End Biden Inflation in the Senate.” You get the idea. This Trump wannabe guy is a bonafide liar, backed by ultra right-wing tech billionaire Peter Thiel. He is one scary dude to keep an eye on in November.

Richard, you are right in switching to this approach. There were enough emails before that I would sometimes delete rather than read enough to decide on further reading. This new approach will work much better for people like me, organizing the information in a more effective way. I also think it will add to your credibility as a reliable source for progressive information on issues of the day. Just remember us when you become famous. Oh, and add your own perspectives in the mix, maybe expanded intros like the ones you've done. Thank you for your energy and efforts on this front.
Cool.
