“It is extraordinarily rare for a country to be able to reduce inflation without creating a recession, but the Biden administration has managed to do so, producing what economists call a ‘soft landing,’ rather like catching an egg on a plate. As Bryan Mena of CNN wrote today: ‘The US economy seems to have pulled off a remarkable and historic achievement.’”

Even as the #election will shape the #judiciary, the judiciary may also shape the election. As in 2020, #Republicans & #Democrats have already asked federal #judges, including those on #SCOTUS, to resolve disputes about ballots before Election Day. Their rulings could determine the outcome of a close race.

Perhaps related, Americans’ faith in the #courts has eroded in the #Trump era.

I long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. But this #election is different… and much deeper than left versus right. It’s about the survival of our #democracy.
The stakes are really high — and the best candidate is clear: #KamalaHarris

The Atlantic Endorses #KamalaHarris

"The main reason for those ambivalent Americans to vote for Harris has little to do with policy or partisanship. It’s this: Electing her and defeating him is the only way to release us from the political nightmare in which we’re trapped and bring us to the next phase of the American experiment."

The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, stole our land, destroyed our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of democracy. #election

Will Rogers – ”The Cowboy Philosopher” – urged Americans to avoid politicizing every issue. When it came to politics, he urged people to maintain skepticism, perspective and civility.

He was wildly popular in his time. A century later, his insights might still prove useful for navigating tumultuous election years.

Guys (and everyone else), please listen to her. It's infuriating that, in 2024, this needs to be said, but she said it beautifully and powerfully. I know she doesn't want it, but I'd have voted for her for President in a heartbeat. She's so good at this. #Politics #Democracy #MichelleObama #Election #Election2024 #VoteBlue youtube.com/watch?v=xt9fgCqMfO…


Latest strip. At the Lancaster, PA rally, Trump got on the subject of his mental fitness and stated “I have no cognitive. She may have a cognitive problem, but there’s no cognitive problem… Got no cognitive.”

#Trump’s attys seek #dismissal of federal #election case, call #SpecialCounsel illegally appointed

Lawyers for Trump told a federal judge Thurs that the #ElectionInterference case against him should be dismissed, arguing that #JackSmith was illegally appointed & that funding for his office should be cut off.

The argument mirrors the one that persuaded Trump-appointed FL judge, #AileenCannon, to dismiss Trump’s illegal retention of #ClassifiedDocuments case.

The publisher for the Washington Post says the storied paper will not endorse a candidate for president for the first time in 36 years, and that it does not intend to endorse candidates in future races. The move has prompted outcry from employees of the Post, including its former Executive Editor Martin Baron, as well as others in the media industry. “This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty,” Baron tells @npr.
