“Here is how we do it. Strategize on Sunday, meet the moment on Monday, take it to ‘em on Tuesday, work it out on Wednesday, thank the Lord on Thursday, fight the power on Friday, set it off on Saturday, get a few hours of sleep, wake up the next day and do it all over again until joy, joy, joy comes in the morning."

Walz Shows His Real Guy Roots As He Skewers Republicans’ Definition Of Freedom

"'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning,' speakers have quoted the Biblical psalm, and they have referred to the vision of the American flag still flying after a night of bombardment during the War of 1812, captured by Francis Scott Key in the national anthem, promising that after our time of national darkness, there will be light."
"The many stories in which ordinary Americans rise from adversity through hard work, decency, and service to others implicitly conflates those individual struggles with the struggles of the United States itself. Running through the stories told at the convention is the theme of working hard through a time of darkness to come out into the light."
Heather Cox Richardson puts her finger on a major theme running through commentary on the DNC this morning:
"After three days at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, I feel like I have seen the political future and its name is the Democratic Party."

In 1974, music writer Jon Landau saw a relatively unknown musician in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and wrote for an alternative paper: "Last Thursday, at the Harvard Square theater, I saw rock'n'roll past flash before my eyes.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
"Her surge is at least partly due to the pent-up desire of many young voters, people of color, and progressives for a champion who will push a new set of values. I would vote for a ham sandwich over Trump, but many voters are desperate to win something larger—for all of us. If Harris and Walz prevail, we will."

Former Trump press secretary to speak at DNC and label her old boss a 'threat'
Stephanie Grisham is one of several Republicans who will mount the stage and speak at the Chicago convention this week...
“I never thought I’d be speaking at a Democratic convention," Grisham told NBC in a statement. "But, after seeing firsthand who Donald Trump really is, and the threat he poses to our country, I feel very strongly about speaking out."

#Trump portrays #Harris as #foreign, echoing past attacks on #Democrats of #color
“I wonder if they knew where she comes from,” Trump said, echoing a 2019 call for Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to where they came from.
Trump on Monday questioned whether #Democrats knew where VP #KamalaHarris “came from,” reprising a tactic that he has previously used against other Democrats, including former president Barack Obama & women of color in Congress.

As Dean Obeidallah says, there's a reason Trump and Republicans are freaking out at Kamala Harris' proposals to deal with greedflation as a huge cause of inflation:
Their super-rich donors don't want that fix to take place, since it would curb their greed-generated profits. The American people DO want this fix, and Harris is fighting for what the majority of us want.

The #DemocraticNationalConvention will kick off Monday in #Chicago. Democratic organizers have had to rework programming for the #DNC after #POTUS #Biden dropped out & endorsed MVP #KamalaHarris to replace him.
But leaders within the DNC say they are harnessing that energy the #Harris & her running mate, MN Gov #TimWalz, have brought into the race, & that they hope to keep the momentum going at the convention & beyond.
Here’s what you need to know.

Trump is completely incoherent when talking about one of his signature policies.
Meanwhile, the press is hectoring #KamalaHarris over her "price controls."
WaPo's run one opinion piece about tariffs in the last six months. It was headlined, "How #Trump taught #Biden to love tariffs."
They've run a grand total of one opinion piece this year about the central policy proposal of his campaign, rounding up and deporting 15 million people.

Noting that he's been following “what’s wrong with the press?” complaints for a long time, James Fallows says "what's happening now seems more coherent and urgent than at other times." He explains:

A timeline of American Vice Presidents. Until the red square, she would have been a slave. Until the blue square she would have gone to segregated schools (if at all). Up to the yellow square she was not allowed to vote. It wasn't until the green square she could have her own bank account. Now she is Vice President, and on November 5th she will be elected President of the United States. #KamalaHarris #election2024 #USpol
"What the Harris and Walz ticket understands is that the best way to take down a bully with the kind of power Donald Trump has, the kind of unimaginable power he hopes to seize, is to mock him and encourage others to laugh at him.
'She actually called me weird,' Donald whined Thursday. 'He’s weird.’ And it was just a soundbite. And she called JD and I weird. He’s not weird.'"

Oliver Willis thinks Harris is doing just fine not catering to press demands for interviews:
"Harris did not need to cater to media whims to launch her campaign and rocket ahead of Trump in opinion polling. In fact, the dominant mindset among the media hivemind before she took over for President Joe Biden was that she likely wouldn’t have been able to handle the baton if it was handed to her."

Trump gave a speech saying that private health insurance is "very popular," and if Harris wins, "you’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care." He is so far removed from reality.

“Her polling is better than Biden’s, let’s not get too excited.
…I will say this, however: I don’t want to hear ‘Fight as if we’re 10 points down!’ We were just down in the polls with Biden, and no one liked it. No one…let’s not pretend that losing is motivating. It is not. You know what is motivating?
Winning.
So fight as if we’re up 1 to 2 points. That’s the likely reality of the rest of this election cycle.”
