| Happy Saturday. ☕️ |
Below are the top news stories from around the country - handpicked for you this week by the editors at the Free Telegraph! Stacey Abrams (remember her??) is coming to a state near you this fall to help elect fellow Democrats. She’ll also be taking her extreme views with her. A new report points out that Republicans are leading the charge when it comes to increasing teacher pay. Last but not least, 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates participated in a town hall on climate change. They all seemed to say pretty much the same thing: Americans need to drastically change their lifestyles to defeat climate change - and enjoy higher taxes
while they’re at!

| CONFIRMED: Radical Liberal Stacey Abrams Working to Elect Andy Beshear, John Bel Edwards, and Jim Hood |
| What Happened: |
| Stacey Abrams promised to help elect Democrats this year in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Kentucky. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Abrams, the failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate who still refuses to concede her race, espouses leftwing views like government-run single-payer healthcare, sanctuary cities, and the idea that undocumented immigrants should vote in U.S. elections. What does that say about the Democrats she’s backing this fall? |
| What Happens Next: |
| Democrats in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Kentucky are already embracing her offer of assistance. No doubt Jim Hood, John Bel Edwards, and Andy Beshear will too. |
