You've done such a great job giving us the actual stories of these men wanting our vote but it's time for you to rest and spend time with your family! Senior year is so emotional and full of so many events. I'd rather see you with your family, sharing those memories with us!

I agree.

Breathe. Enjoy.

These are the moments!

Refresh.

And we will see you on the flip.

Agree, there really haven't been many changes with the presidential campaign and politics in general (since the Kennedy VP announcement). Take time for you and your family, we enjoy that just as much and family that's functioning with love is just as beneficial to our society. :)

Love your work JRK! But I’m getting overwhelmed with politics. Don’t we all know these men pretty well by now? I’m interested in Ashley Biden’s diary. Bennifer 2.0 are headed for divorce? The Sussex Montecito Renaissance… I need some lite exposés for summer.

Yes! I'm still feeling burnt out by Celebrities but I'm forever invested in the Royals!

Yes I’d love any scoop on Kate updates. I can’t ignore that she hasn’t been photographed since Christmas beyond a pap pic of her allegedly driving w mom, the staged? Farmers market walk and the sad/awkward video explaining there “had been cancer” and taking “preventative chemotherapy”? Plus Rose and Camilla recently photographed together? And Harry and Meghan’s “unofficial” royal tour in Nigeria???

Yes! Ashley Biden and the royals. I’m curious about Bennifer. They represent hope of lost love to me. I really want them to work but JLo has flown off the rails with all her shows.

Take time for yourself and your family. They are only this age once! Knowing there is 6 more months of politics makes me feel ill! So tired of it already. I love anything to do with fashion and interior design! Thank you!

Yes, I agree - we need more of both.

You do so much for us - thank you!And It’s ok to take a break for your family. I for one love the inside look at these candidates, but family is far more important. With that said…..

I’d really like to see you attend a Trump rally. I believe you’ve mentioned you’d like to in the past. He needs to do one in CA!

I will def be at as many Rallies this summer as possible. Trump is coming to New Port (near us) In June! A Boat parade is planned.

Looking forward to that!

“Maycember” is the best/worst month of the year. The end of school fatigue is so real! You’re doing a beautiful job handling a situation that can only can be described as monumental, and thank you for your continued dedication to us all, too. Safe travels!

I love all of your coverage, the variety is what makes me check my phone multiple times a day to see what you've written up for us next! Your political coverage, especially the color commentary, since honestly the whole thing is a spectacle, is worth the price of admission. All of your other cool stories of your boys and your family and friends, celebrities, travel, etc is icing on the cake.

Just keep doing what you're doing. But do take some time to enjoy your family and recharge. We'll be here for you.

Thank you, Sarah!

I feel like I have the political info I need. But being newer to your audience, I’m so curious about you and would love to know how this whole journey started for you as a writer. I can barely keep my boring life together, while you are running a an independent, journalistic platform, and being super mom, and sustaining a marriage. How do you do it all?! I would love a JRK “happy hour” on Zoom where we can get a BTS look in your world and ask you questions.

But please take the time you need this month, this subscriber is not going anywhere. <3

Honestly, life behind the screen is maybe more fascinating. It might be fun to share more of that?

Expand full comment

Yes!

Expand full comment

Yes to that!

Expand full comment

Happy Hour sounds fun!

Expand full comment

Yes to the happy hour! You could host a virtual happy hour with a Q and A. I have seen other writers do this as a paid event (gotta pay the bills and your time isn’t free!) with the Q and A being an organized, first come first served situation, but with a preset limit of questions. You can always take more questions, from attendees only, that can be answered in a Substack follow up article.

Yes! I would pay!

We love it all and are so thankful for all of your coverage and dedication to reporting the truth. Without you we would not have the opportunity for access that you give to us. So thank you!!

That said - was there a conclusion to the Depp trial coverage - or where we can find it - if somehow I missed it :)

There is a lot here published and yet a lot left to still be said :D

I continue to love the balance of personal human stories mixed with Joan Rivers-esque style critique. You're making politics tolerable. How do you do it with a family? Beyond me. Grateful for the whole Kraus clan that makes it possible! 🥂

Get some rest, enjoy your boys❤️ And then tell us what we need to know in royal family news🤗

Expand full comment

Yes! How is Catherine? Meghan on her pretend royal tour to Nigeria was cringy. Charles red painting is bizarre!

I will share thoughts on all. The portrait is something else.

Agree with the comments telling you to rest and come back to us later in the summer when things are really ramping up.

Expand full comment

Things are never not ramping up though LOL

Point taken. What about a guest host for a month? I Am Link?! Tulsi?! Barron?! 🤣. Or how about your oldest? I think we are all enamored of your kids and their great attitudes

Expand full comment

I am Link is a new favorite! He’s really going to go places.

I love your coverage. No one can report on it all, but you manage to stay on the cutting edge. Hang in there, EOY activities are chaos!

Thank you!

Met you at Knuckleheads in San Clemente a couple of weeks ago and have wondered many times since, how you do it all! Although we all appreciate all you do (and I check your stories multiple times a day 😂) take time to breathe and enjoy your boys! I’m in CO this month! What’s going on here?

Kennedy is in Colorado this weekend!

Please, please rest and enjoy your boys, we don't get that time back.

Step away from the politics, and then can we talk about King Charles' portrait??????????????

I’d like the media fortress protecting Biden to be forced to collapse…. Visitor logs that document the cadré of doctors juicing up Biden …evidence of an ear piece of some sort that has gone undetected…CNN giving him the questions in advance….the measures being taken to conceal his mental and physical impairment are outrageous. Let’s remember that the liberal media spent two days with neurological experts explaining that Trumps cautious steps on a wet slippery ramp were proof positive of Alzheimer’s ……. The deceit and hypocrisy are egregious. It’s maddening as hell to watch this very infirmed “naked Emperor” go unchecked.
