A Toast to you, dear Readers.

Today is the first day of the New Year. We need to enter 2024 full of optimism. As Mary Trump reminded us on Saturday:

Remember, optimism isn't just a feeling; it's a powerful political tool. If we embrace a positive, solutions-oriented approach, Democrats can energize the base, attract swing voters, and counter Republican negativity in 2024. In a close election, optimism can be the difference between victory and defeat.

So, here’s to a victorious 2024, when we reaffirm our Democracy and win the Presidency, take back the House, keep the Senate, and make progress on climate control, economic opportunity, fairness, health, access and civil rights for all.

Let us make our government a vehicle for good, guaranteeing people the resources, freedoms and education that enable them to reach their full potential. Let us make our society an open, welcoming, kind and supportive place for all people.

And let the world be a place of peace.

As our President said:

I will see you again tomorrow, January 2, 2024.
