Harris campaign launches 'Souls to the Polls' effort to turn out Black churchgoers as Election Day approaches

The get-out-the-vote program includes the creation of a faith advisory board.

^{Fritz Farrow (ABC News)}

Harris’ approach: a winning strategy (for all, but the 1% & those who operate by corrupt means).

Her economic plans are “good for lower- & middle-income Americans & small bus', and tough on high-net-worth HHs & corps,” says M Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s, who's predicted a #Harris victory. Her proposals are “not going to change the growth rates of the economy in a meaningful way -but it does change who benefits the most from that: low-& middle­-income HHs.”

We've been waiting to see whether #Harris' emphasis on GOP endorsements will pay off. This, plus Siena poll showing 4% gains among GOPers, suggest it is.

They call themselves “pro-life” but it’s a lie. Abortion bans - by design - exclude the life of the mother as a life to be valued and saved. Her life is not counted.

Even when there is no other life, only an unviable clump of cells, parasitic from the start, that is killing her, “pro-lifers” will not intervene to save the life of the mother.

Every single pregnancy is a risk to the mother’s life.

Every single one.

Steve Schmidt explains why Donald Trump will become the next Hitler if he wins

“When the next Hitler comes... maybe... it will present itself like this; on a stage in Butler Pennsylvania. Two fascists, one jumping for joy; joy for what? power, and money, and the thrill of taking from you everything and anything that should matter; starting with your freedom and your liberties as an American.”

#KamalaHarris announced a plan today to expand Medicare's home health care coverage for older Americans in an effort to support the "sandwich generation" caring for both kids and aging parents.

Savings from negotiating drug prices will help fund it.

Here's a quick Q&A with 2 scholars of long-term care, to assess what’s known so far about the plan:

Lately I've been thinking about how the #Republican party has evolved over the last decade or so as viewed through the lens of the games that major voices in the party play.

Previous generations of #GOP speakers were proudly golfers, but lately major voices are football fans. You can hear them make that shift from talking about golf to talking about football.

Well, over the years Republicans have made this marked shift from looking to work together and build consensus to just looking to fight their opponents. And it strikes me that that's also a difference between golf and football.

The new generation of conservative speakers don't understand the realities of political systems where they have to work with others, convince others, to get things done. It's as if they are projecting philosophies from football on to their politics in ways that didn't happen previously.

And that's a shame for us all. That's how you get #Trump... and #Harris.

For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.
