“I got a message to Donald Trump and all of his whining, stop shit talking America” - PA Governor Josh Shapiro

A worthwhile read is… this happy story, which talks about the opening of this new state park in my home state of California. Can’t wait to visit and see it IRL. -Maddie

A TikTok I can’t get over is… there are SO many good Kamala TikToks right now, but this one with Senator Bob Casey [swing state!] and Senator Cory Booker is iconic. The guys that get it, get it, and they do – aka this is your reminder to your PA friends that voting for Senator Casey is essential for us in protecting our majority in the Senate. -Maddie

A story to have on your radar… the news around KOSA or the Kids Online Safety Act. It keeps popping in and out of the news, but it’s back. This is def a bill to be up to speed on, esp as well continue to chat about mental in this country and online safety; it’s not an easy bundle of interwoven issues to solve, but good to see reps are trying to get their heads the issue area? -Maddie

Something I think people should share with their friends is… this IG post from Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, which is fem-nominal if I do say so myself. Anddddd, our episode with the former Congresswoman who BTW is running for US Senate in Florida against this bald dude. -Maddie

Something that I’m so excited about is… the endorsements that keep rolling in for Kamala :) including the Obama’s. The call where they tell her they’re endorsing her is everything. -Maddie

A worthwhile read is… this look at the role J.D. Vance’s beard plays… no really. And before you go, seriously?! It’s refreshing to see the lens of aesthetics and optics actually put to a male candidate for once, AND regardless, these little choices impact the culture [always interesting to see ]. -Sammy

A TikTok I can’t get over is… well technically it’s a campaign ad BUT it got put on the ‘Tok via the Kamala HQ account, which is fire. This ad is SO good. I can’t stop watching it. I get chills every time. -Sammy

A story to have on your radar… is a good news story out of MA, where the Dem Gov. Maura Healey signed a bill that expands the state’s red flag laws, locations that allow guns to be carried versus not, and addresses some of the dangers around ghost guns. -Sammy

Something I think people should share with their friends is… examples of good governance, like this out of PA. Calling out heinous things is great, but sometimes the positive is way more powerful, not to mention it shows us what we can actually do, which is a helluva lot of good shit for our future. More good governance stories coming Monday in Gov Hub. -Sammy

Something that I’m so excited about is… the epic style in which Kamala’s comms team is doing press releases. As a former an occasional PR girlie, the remix version of these releases that actually HIT is SO refreshing, and it plays to the ability for the releases to go further than legacy media, and to go viral on social. Love it. -Sammy

ON THE POD: KAMALA RECAP

Fallin’ out of a coconut tree into venn diagrams

OMFG is this feeling called hope? Excitement? Living, breathing excitement? Uh yea, this moment – ya know that moment where Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Kamala Harris [ICON] – who is now running to be the next president of the US of A – is electric. Happy tears all around. In this eppy, we debrief, we get amped, and we act like this is a pep rally because honestly it is. Get excited because we’re going for a Brat Summer and a Brat presidency! Tune in here via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

There is no better steak quesadilla than the one at Tacos Por Favor in VB/SM. They’re also open early in the morning, so slayyyy.

Brands like Canopy getting in the coconut mood. SO good.

The city of Philly’s voter HQ page is fab. Flag this ahead of e-day and send it to your Philly friends.

The J.D. Vance “never Trump” audio remix, which everyone should help make viral to drive the message home ;)

Peddler Coffee in Philly is the cutest. 5 stars TYSM.

The state of Michigan making bridges Brat AF is chef’s kiss. And they say infrastructure isn’t a “sexy” issue… KAY.

On the latest eppy of Behind the Scenes with Bourbon, two of our Congressional guests, Rep. McGarvey and Rep. Auchincloss chatted about music icon Jason Isbell.

Doug aka the Second Gentleman gave a little tour of his fave LA coffee spot and other classics with this, and it’s a must-save.

ADD TO THE DMS

Makin’ there way from DM to DM

This ‘Tok showcasing the reaction to Team Kamala raising a shit ton of money [and continuing to do so].

For our Bravo besties, this is what Kamala said her housewife tagline would be. She left no crumbs. Also can we have the Real Housewives of DC franchise back plz?

Pete B had some reactions to recent angry flight disaster tweets… we can only imagine what he’d think of the flight disasters told here.

Gov. Waltz of Minnesota talking about Brat Summer on MSNBC is everything. Obsessed.

This could not be more accurate take of us trying to explain elements of our job, especially writing #VIRAL, The Newsletter.

Big sisters everywhere, you’re going to want to send this to your little sister.

Can reporter’s keep their poker face? We’ll direct you to this press conference for the answer.
