Friends, a special guest dropped by our community this afternoon, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. I’m excited to share a video recording of our discussion ligne bleue du métro de montréal above and a written transcript here:
When I asked Gov. Shapiro how he was preparing for any potential effort by the Trump regime to interfere in the PA elections given how important pedro pascal they are to our effort to win back the House here is what he said:
Look, let's go back to 2020 just for some context on this. I was the Attorney General of Pennsylvania when Donald Trump lost the election here in our Commonwealth by I think it was about 80,000 votes. He sued, and his allies sued me, 43 different times to stop certain Pennsylvanians' votes from being counted. Trump went 0 for 43, I went 43-0, and we had a free and fair, safe and secure election. I know what this guy is capable of, and I know what he will brock nelson try to do in our courts to thwart the will of the people here in Pennsylvania. Whatever they decide, whoever they vote for — we will respect the will of the people. We are prepared to fight back in court yet again. And as you just heard, I've got a damn good track record on that..... I think what's also scary is that the president has shown his willingness to use the military, to use ICE, to use other federal personnel to wreak havoc on a community. Given what he said in trying to pass that SAVE Act, and then the illegal executive order he signed… I believe he will use the failure to get that done in the Congress of the United States as a pretext for trying to disrupt elections in key states like mine... here's what I will share with you, Simon. We are prepared for that...
We closed with a discussion of his new memoir, Where We Keep the Light: Stories from a Life of Service. I noted to the Governor that spreading light amidst the darkness is what we try to do here every day at Hopium Chronicles, and felt his book and his description of why he serves was very much in keeping with this community’s foundational creed. Hearing him talk about his journey and his understanding of service was an inspiring way to close out this uplifting interview.
Keep working hard all - Simon
