Completely agree. Went into the comments section to say the same exact thing.

Why on earth would the Dems make any significant concessions for a one year debt limit increase? It’s like paying a ransom and agreeing to come visit the kidnapper in a year.

This debt ceiling package will have great negative effect on VA health care . Republicans from NC are a dam disgrace. Why in the hell any veteran living in North Carolina votes republican blows my mind. Fred M Ellis US Navy retired.

I have never lived in your district and so have never been able to vote for you. And now, I even live in another state. But these missives are still so important to me. Thanks for being real, Jeff.

Thank you for these meaningful updates, Senator Jackson. I know that's not true...yet. Keep being the voice of reason that North Carolina desperately needs.

So it comes down to McCarthy not giving a rat's ass about the country.

Feels that way for a lot of politicians. The function of government and government employees should be to serve its citizens, but nowadays many are just using those positions to serve themselves.

And definitely not caring about veterans, women, children, the poor, the elderly. . . . . etc.!

Thanks, Jeff, I'm glad I subscribed! And I wonder what George Santos got promised to come out of that cloakroom to cast his vote?

Expand full comment

That’s the real question, right? What has McCarthy promised, not just for this vote, but to be speaker? In a party without integrity, it’s a scary thought.

He'll be allowed to finish his term.

I think that's right.

We’ll see. This has barely begun.

I find it hard to believe the Voters of his District have no recourse ...

Is this Session the 1st time this has happened - and twice to boot?

There will be no "battle". Only yelping as the Insurrection Party retreats to lick their wounds after Wall Street and Main Street turn on them.

Expand full comment

I do believe you're right..this will happen.

If there are other representatives' newsletters out there that come anywhere close to the clear, rational approach you take with yours, I'd really like to hear about them. From either side of the aisle. And really, why is the whole system now designed to ensure there is only one aisle and only two sides? Why are we so hell-bent in this country on squelching third (or fourth, or ...) parties? Sorry - side rant. Keep up the good work, Jeff!

I get Chuck Edward's. They are full of lies, misinformation and Republican propaganda. That is why I also get Jeff's.

Expand full comment

Agree Lee, Edwards newsletter so depressing, I unsubscribed.

Really informative. You give us a behind the scenes view not seen elsewhere. Plus you’re not antagonistic which is refreshing.

Thank you for these newsletters and substantive info!

I wish you represented WNC! You tell it like you see it DC - so refreshing. Honest, transparent reporting of the way our legislature is working - or not working. You, sir, are a breath of fresh air.
