Republican pollster Mitchell Brown warned Fox Business host Stuart Varney that he was seeing "troubling signs for the Trump team" because early voter turnout appeared to be high for the 2024 election.

Prominent economists declare that the Biden-Harris admin has delivered economic prosperity for Americans.

"On average, Americans have roughly $4,000 more disposable income than they did before the pandemic (after adjusting for inflation)."
-M Linden

"Real disposable personal income per capita rose in Sept, 27th -monthly rise -longest streak on record (data goes back to 1959). Overall real disposable personal income per capital is >2% above pre-pandemic forecasts."

"Rising Authoritarianism and Plutocracy Are a Dangerous Mix for Press Freedom."

Press freedom in the United States showed the world its Achilles heel this week with Jeff Bezos decision.

A two-level, oligarchic economy is in the making. Hungary and India both once had freewheeling, raucous media traditions. But as they fell from full democracies to only “partly free” in Freedom House rankings – the media became cowed.

Harris respects ppl with diff. opinions: Trump wants to prosecute them.

He must never again become pres. Throughout his rampage in the pol sphere, he's repeatedly undermined our democracy: Falsely declaring himself the winner of the 2020 pres. election; purportedly “inciting an insurrection”, swearing -he'll imprison, punish, & “handle” any American citizen who stands against him, bragged about killing R v W...

Ongoing quest for good writing? Recommendation below: #economics prof at Fordham Univ with an historical theme.

"... we could have skipped the tariff and paid these 1,200 workers their $40K per year salary for two years and given them a stipend of $50K to attend community college or to get training in a new technology or a stable trade. This would cost $156 million dollars in total.... one-seventh of what U.S. consumers paid as a result of the tire tariff."

Good news:
#TFG's EC lead, falls. An indication in real time is his TS stock, at 12:54 ET, down 20%. But...

The Economist's forecast showed that the TFG's projected EC votes plunged 6 points since Tues, from 275 to 269.

Decline: means TFG & #Harris are tied with 269 EC each. In this scenario, neither would win the EC, & the election would be placed in the hands of Congress -pres. election heading to the House, & the VP race -to the Sen.

I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.

I remember what it was like when Trump was president.

I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...

I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.

I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”

Bold & perceptive, Harris closes the campaign at the Ellipse.

She'll encourage voters to turn the page on the era of American politics that Trump ushered in.

Harris is working to turn the election into a referendum on the Trump era *lay out as a decade of division & chaos.

She aims to address voters’ economic concerns head on & highlight her specific proposals aimed at lowering costs, strengthening the middle class & raising taxes on corps/wealthy.

"Elon has been hinting at this in his stupid little speeches. News people need to make a bigger deal out of it: Trump is now not only campaigning on open racism, but explicitly promising economic devastation, as some kind of healthy reset.

Campaign staffers had asked all speakers to submit drafts of their speeches ahead of time -Once the “c**t” joke was spotted -a staffer asked Hinchcliffe to strike it.

Those sources insisted -they didn't spot the other objectionable lines.
