Anyone else want a whole separate post about parenting philosophy? I don’t have kids yet, but would love to know what Jessica and Mike’s secret is to raising such cool kids.

It was thanks to you that I was able to see Trump in a different light and be open to him not being the villain the media had sold us. My daughter voted for change on her first election ever and that would’ve never been possible without the information you provided

HBD JRK.

I have loved your coverage this past year, and I don't even live in the US 😆.

It has really opened my eyes up to how important it is to listen to all parties and do the research for myself. Here in Ireland, the govt have just announced a general election for Nov 29 (the whole process here is MUCH faster over here, literally over and done in the space of 5-6 weeks). I have thrown myself into learning about all of the issues and candidates, in the way I did for the US election. So thank you. Thank you for making me realise how important this is!

You’re incredible! Happy birthday and thank you for giving us the gift of your perspective. Hearing your thoughts, learning to ask the good questions, pealing back our prejudices to see men like RFK Jr. and Trump for who they are as humans and their passion for country. Your work was beautiful and impactful and left us marked by curiosity. Cheers to a brighter future 🥂

Happy Birthday! I started following during Johnny Depp and have stayed ever since. I even got my mum onto Instagram just so she could follow you and your campaign coverage. As long time conservatives seeing someone cover what we believe in has been a breath of fresh air! Thank you for what you do - you deserve all of the success!

We share a birthday today, Jessica! I’m one of your seasoned readers, grandmother and longtime patriot. I’ve thoroughly benefited from your perspective through the campaign, you went places I wanted to know more in depth, and shared similar question we all have. A new style of journalism that is sure to eclipse the others if we’re lucky. Have a wonderful day and get some good and well deserved rest❤️

Happy Birthday truth seeking lady! My husband had a confession to me Election Day, he voted for Trump, a Trump hater to Trump voter. He would write me in the past 2 years…..Your constant stream of anti-propaganda I would slip into conversation with him. Thank you for your sacrifice!
