Today, we are flashing back to December 9, 2022.
Some show business first:
A reminder that the Friday Power Lunch crew is on break until December 6, 2024. That doesn’t mean learning does not stop. We know that these past weeks have been tough. With you in mind, we wanted to share a fantastic inspirational show that reminds us how important our community is and will continue to be - we are stronger together. Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful and to give thanks. We dedicate this episode to all of you doing good deeds for democracy.
Today, we invite you to watch an episode from December 9, 2022, titled “Word and Deeds Matter: Democrats & Democracy.” This episode reminds us of all of our successes, our commitment to each other, and our values. Why being loud, proud, and positive while we work together matters. We hope you enjoy it and your Thanksgiving leftovers - save me a piece of pecan pie!
Watch it here.

David Pepper: Republicans will continue to be more extreme getting rid of every check and balance. The GOP learns from their successes and failures, Democrats need to do the same.
Antonia Scatton: On messaging and framing, we need to talk about the economy in a personal manner, and empathy matters. Voting is an emotional act and not necessarily logical.
