#Wrong & #offensive on so many levels
#JDVance said he thinks the #DNC is being held in #Chicago so #Walz can say he visited a combat zone.

I think it is hasty to say "this can only be good for Walz."
Virtually everyone targeted by Comer like this is ALSO targeted by serious threats.
Tom Nichols:
1. They're scared. Really scared.
2. With Comer in charge, this can only be good for #Walz :)
3. This is "weaponizing the government" and it's what authoritarians do.

More than 1,000 veterans and military family members have signed an open letter in support of Tim #Walz, saying they're "appalled" at #Trump and #JDVance's "politically motivated attacks" accusing him of lying about his decades of military service.

'Appalled': Veterans slam Trump campaign's attacks on Tim Walz's military background

Will the attacks on #Walzβs #military #service stick like they did to #Kerry 20 yrs ago?
The partyβs VP nomβs military record is under assault from [douchey] #Republicans β attacks reminiscent of those leveled 2 decades earlier on Sen #JohnKerry during his run for the WH.
Democratic strategists who lived through the Kerry onslaught, however, say the political landscape has changed so much since 2004 that they do not believe the attacks will land with the same resonance.

1. An agent, such as a medication, that is supposed to restore or improve health or well-being.
2. A liquid preparation for the scalp or hair.
3. An invigorating, refreshing, or restorative agent or influence.

"Never heard of Chadron State? Me neither, but Tim #Walz of the GI Bill & that public U. truly gets the importance of a college education, while Yale's #JDVance wants to blow it all up

#Trump: βShe wants to take away your guns.β
False.
MVP #KamalaHarris, in 2019, said she supports a gun buyback program for #AssaultWeapons, not all #guns. Her campaign recently said that she no longer supports a buyback program.
Her running mate, Gov #TimWalz, is a gun owner & a hunter.
When #Walz signed 2023 MN gun law he said, "This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment, This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."
From what I can gather - I canβt watch TFG - we simply must make sure #Harris and #Walz win the swing states. The campaign is going to need plenty of funds to advertise and organize. I am determined to do all I can to make sure the money is there.

"Everybody hates #TimWalz!"
Okay, sure, but:
> #Walz was reelected to the #House five times before being elected governor of #Minnesota in 2018. He was reelected in 2022, defeating Republican nominee #ScottJensen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walz
So how hated is he really?
This doesn't legitimize his policies, just saying that it's hard for me to believe that he is *that* hated if he keeps getting reelected.
No, #JoshShapiro Wasnβt Snubbed for VP Because Heβs #Jewish
#Republicans & some #journalists are pushing the cynical & false narrative that #antisemitism doomed Shapiroβs candidacy.
Firstly, by all accounts, the reason that #Harris chose #Walz over #Shapiro is that she thought Walz would be a better fit w/& for her.

Republicans and some journalists are pushing the cynical and false narrative that antisemitism doomed Shapiro's candidacy.The Nation
#Walz was reportedly charming &, importantly, more deferential in his interview, whereas #Shapiro, per one account, seemed to be negotiating the parameters of the job. It is not difficult to understand why #Harris, a person who is running for president instead of her older boss, might take the person who says he has no greater ambitions over the obviously extremely ambitious person who is 10 yrs her junior.
I woke up this morning thinking of the battleground states. The states whose votes are likely to decide the Presidential election and control of Congress. The states #Harris and #Walz are barnstorming this week. The states where the #HarrisWalz2024 campaign must advertise, organize, and fight like hell. The campaign is going to need extraordinary funds to do this. I am determined to do all I can to make sure the funds are there.

βHe sows chaos and division, and thatβs to say nothing of his record as president. He froze in the face of the Covid crisis. He drove our economy into the ground. And make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump,β Walz said.
