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.
Musk admits that he & Trump will crash the economy, but it’s okay, because they’ll build a better world from the rubble. Not exaggerating, he just said it."

Bernie Sanders - "I’ve been all over the country in the last month, and I get asked the same question, over and over again:
“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”

If someone tells you not to vote, suggests that not voting is a meaningful protest, or posts about the uselessness of voting, they are engaging in voter suppression, and they are not your friend.
We think of voter suppression as a set of partisan policies, and in large part it is, but it is a very big toolbox, with more in it than that. I've already blocked one person I agree with on a lot of things today, because I won't sit and watch folks do the worst people's work for them.
The speech at the MSG KKK2 rally could've been worse.
“He'd a joke calling Harris a ‘c**t’” -a campaign insider.
Hinchcliffe’s remarks—& the ensuing backlash -sparked Qs about how such an offensive speech was allowed.
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.

if you ever find yourself wondering "how did crypto bros get all this money to try to take over the government?" a big part of the answer is "the government gave it to them in the form of covid stimulus and PPP loans".
the crypto industry alone is now responsible for roughly half of all corporate money attempting to influence the election. you'd never know it though because their campaigns never mention crypto.

“This was a hate rally. This was not just a presidential rally, this was also not just a campaign rally. I think it’s important for people to understand these are mini January 6 rallies, these are mini Stop the Steal rallies. These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn’t go the way that they want.”
— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), on MSNBC, about Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden.
"Trump Media shares surge up to 20% after Trump rally in NYC."
#Sanewashing, on the CNBC webpage, so far, the only ref. to the MSG KKK2 rally is a way that #TFG profiteers thru stock market manipulation.
Many people who abhor fascism, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, stochastic terrorism... are reeling today, as some in the #media haven't called out #TFG/Rs for the rally (& their views) that should disqualify TFG/R candidates who support him, from political offices.

How Mass Deportations Would ‘Devastate’ Texas
The Lone Star State is home to millions of undocumented residents and members of mixed-status families critical to the state’s economic success, yet Texas leaders are cheering on Trump anyway.Francesca D’Annunzio (The Texas Observer)
"NPR...reported that 'more than 1,600 digital subscriptions had been cancelled less than four hours after the news broke.'
It was a reasonable impulse. But if Bezos is indeed why the Post is no longer endorsing candidates, and if people are worried about his outsize influence on our society, they should not be canceling their newspaper subscriptions. They should be canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions."

This article is a recap of the last Madison Square Garden Nazi rally, in 1939. Compare the quotes:
1939 Nazis: "job-taking Jewish refugees..."
2024 Trump: "[Immigrants] are unleashing a violent killing spree all over America, especially in Aurora, where we have a governor who’s petrified of them, and maybe he should be. But now, they’ve even taken over Times Square.”
Tonight's rally was far more hateful and extreme than the 1939 rally was.

Shockingly, among the people circulating the memo are people who couldn't get a job in the first Trump administration because they failed their FBI vetting
Why the Houston Chronicle makes endorsements: "Newspapers don’t endorse candidates. Editorial boards do. The editorial board is separate from the newsroom...We do it as a service to our readers and to our democracy, which cannot flourish without an informed citizenry."
The editorial board of the Houston Chronicle isn't afraid to endorse Kamala Harris for president.

Waltz: "Donald Trump's got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden. There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid 1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don't think that he doesn't know for one second exactly what they're doing there."
Let’s see if any upright hackers leak the names of the people in the seats (especially the suites, lounges, and mirror glassed pavilions).
There must be a German word for simultaneously wanting something to be over and also wanting it never to happen for fear of the worst result.
Nine days out, my feelings on the election are that.

Stimme mit dir überein.
Religion im Dienste der Führungseliten ist vielleicht kein Opium für das Volk, jedoch bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung ein sehr probates Mittel um die Massen im Zaum und die Eliten an der Macht zu halten.
Ich hege immer mehr die Befürchtung, dass wir in den nächsten Jahren die nächste Perversion des Christentums--Chistofascism in den USA--miterleben werden können.
Ich hoffe, ich liege falsch.
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.”

" #DonaldTrump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.
...These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of #American #democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.
We have two words for American voters: Believe him."

Opinion | What Donald Trump Would Do, in His Own Words
The former president’s most disturbing statements are not bluster. They are a road map to what he will do if elected again.The Editorial Board (The New York Times)

What Bezos said in 2013: “There would be change with or without new ownership,” he said. “But the key thing I hope people will take away from this is that the values of The Post do not need changing. The duty of the paper is to the readers, not the owners.”
Harris wins, despite the fact that many voters are unaware of her formula that helped bring about a historic recovery:
If Americans better understood the US economic success & the policies that helped deliver it, they might better appreciate why her plan is so highly praised by economists & Trump’s is so criticized. His tariff plan -same sort that helped usher in recessions in the 1890s &1930s -should be reason to reject his scheme.
