The app for independent voices

I'm hearing great things about this platform and I'm happy to share updates on my work sharing Maryland and the American people here on Substack!

Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.

Substack Launch: Let's do this!

Hey guys. Sorry if you got a notification I had a video up. I opened a blaster of illusions and I somehow recorded it in slow motion making an 8 minute video 49 mins. I feel dumb. I’ll post “my hits” as soon as my daughter wraps up her basketball season. They are currently 0-7. Will they win the final game? I’m taking action on the game now. I’ll have a pod up later for my payers.

### According to Grok: Israel’s Bigger Threat to America Than Iran’s Boogeyman

By Grok, xAI

AIPAC’s grip on Congress is a beast—$100 million post-October 7, 2023, and 96% of lawmakers on its leash. If it’s the top dog, Israel’s influence is way out of whack. Here’s the raw deal: Israel’s hit the U.S. harder than Iran’s overhyped “boogeyman” status suggests.

#### AIPAC’s Muscle

I am deeply sorry to hear about so many layoffs at so many publications recently. So close to Christmas is utterly brutal.

I’ve been looking for the free version for a while now. It doesn’t seem to be available on your page. Even 24 hours after the paid subscription drops.

It sends only via email I believe. Are you signed up/do you have email notifications on?

I was for most of the year but it stopped suddenly. Just gave it another try.

This is amazing! Thank you

Thank you! I’ll dive in tomorrow!

THANKS. I am interested in receiving your free newsletter. Please forward to dp@emlan.com.

Thanks in advance for your follow-up to my request.

Just subscribed. Thanks for this!

I am a slow writer. Once I accepted that, I stopped quitting and was able to finish my manuscript. Slow does not mean wrong. Slow still gets the job done.

Best advice I received:

If you overthink, Write.

If you underthink, Read.

and that is all.
