We've been off social media while dealing with the demise of a raccoon in the chimney of our rental home. Slow action by the landlord, 100 degee summer days, and the need to find new housing in a crazy rental market has slowed down our engagement. Pro tip: chimney caps. Have they found Mitch?🦝

Some really encouraging Senate polls… 📍Georgia 🔵 Jon Ossoff: 56% 🔴 Mike Collins: 43% 📍North Carolina 🔵 Roy Cooper: 53% 🔴 Michael Whatley: 44% 📍Ohio 🔵 Sherrod Brown: 53% 🔴 Jon Husted: 45% 📍Iowa 🔵 Josh Turek: 50% 🔴 Ashley Hinson: 46% Keep organizing. Keep fighting.
