Notes from Bruce
No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, nor have I won the lottery and moved to Tahiti. It’s just been a crazy busy time – that’s why I haven’t sent a newsletter in a few weeks.
For those of you who are new members, I’m supposed to send a newsletter every weekend, listing the posts for that week and sharing any news about the site. But, the last one was three weeks ago, so I’m a little behind.
And speaking of new members – we’re currently at 734 members, with 128 of those as paid Patrons or Partners. Welcome to all of you who have joined in the past month!
Below are a series of short updates about the site. Since I haven’t done a newsletter recently, the list is longer than usual. Don’t worry – it won’t always be this long.
Thanks for being a member, and thanks for reading! And as always, if you have feedback, just reply to this email.

Site news and reminders
Election Central adds interviews – We’ve added candidate interviews from My Old Kentucky Podcast and Colonels of Truth to Election Central. You can find them in the race pages, or you can check out the Interviews page.
New sharing buttons – We've installed new and better sharing buttons on each story, to make it easier for you to share articles on Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, Pinterest, and many other services, as well as emailing a link. Please use them to share stories you think worth sharing; it's how we grow.
Reminders about other features – You can Like an article at the top of the story, if you are logged in. And, at the bottom of every story are buttons to create a PDF of the story that you can save or print or email. It also lets you delete any pictures or other things you don't want. And remember, if you are logged in you can add comments under the stories.
The Daily Take – If you are at the Partner level, you can get my "Daily Take" column in your inbox each M-F morning. It's my take on political news of the moment, and is usually about a 7-minute read. Yes, you can read it on the site, but seeing it in your inbox is definitely easier. Go to your profile on the site (button in lower right) and turn it on in Manage Newsletters.
YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok – In case you can’t tell, I'm pretty much a “words” kind of person. I’m not photogenic, for sure, and I don’t have time to put a lot of effort into video work. But, I'm also aware that we are missing out by not posting regularly on these sites. So, over the next few weeks, I'm going to experiment with doing some short commentaries on video, and see what happens. Watch for more about this on the site.
