Trump, Vance and republicans' open fealty to Putin, a hostile foreign intelligence agent, who is one of the most infamous cold-blooded killers in human history & wanted war criminal for genocide against Ukrainians.

Elon Musk just stumped for Trump in PA.

He accused Democrats of wanting to take away voting, free speech, and the right to bear arms. He said without voter ID a vote is “meaningless”. He said Trump is the only one “who’ll protect the constitution”. If Trump doesn’t win it’ll be the last election.

All lies.

Use free speech.

Deactivate X. Don’t use Starlink. Sell your Tesla. Divest from Elon.

Economists estimated that under Trump's proposal, the share of national income going to the top 5% would increase by around 1.6%, while the share of the bottom 50% would fall by roughly 4.8%.

#Biden #StudentLoanForgiveness may proceed after small win in lawsuit

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.

There was a reason, he added, that #MikePence was not on the stage as #Trump’s running mate anymore.

And it was worth asking, he said, what that tells the viewers about #JDVance.

“America, I think you’ve got a really clear choice,” #TimWalz said, his eyes getting bigger, “of who’s going to honor that #democracy & who’s going to honor Donald Trump.”

“#Jan6 was not Facebook ads,” #TimWalz shot back, as #JDVance smiled slightly.

#Walz had a question for his counterpart.

“He is still saying he didn’t lose the election,” Walz said of #Trump, turning grandly to #Vance. “Did he lose the 2020 election?”

“Tim,” Vance replied, “I’m focused on the future.” He swerved to a point about Covid & censorship.

“That,” Walz said, “is a damning non-answer.”

#FactCheck #VanceLies #VPdebate #disinformation #trumpaganda
#law #democracy #HarrisWalz2024

#JDVance had heard enough.

“It’s really rich,” he said, chopping the air w/his hands, “for Democratic leaders to say that Donald #Trump is a unique threat to #democracy when he peacefully gave over power on January the 20th.”

He moved to equate past Democratic complaints about #election outcomes, including invocations of Russian interference in 2016 through FB ads & other means, w/the response in 2020.

He was a teacher, he noted, & a football coach.
“I worked wi/kids long enough to know,” he said, “sometimes you really want to win.”

But #Republicans like #Trump were already laying the groundwork to contest the current #election, he continued, & perhaps even to #imprison their political opponents.
“A president’s words matter,” #TimWalz said, punctuating his own. “A president’s words matter. People hear that.”

“We need to tell the story,” #TimWalz said. “I mean, he lost this #election & he said he didn’t.”

Walz often speaks w/a how’d-I-even-get-here feint toward political humility….

At his most effective, he is a kind of Labrador retriever of a communicator: affable, game, just happy to be there….

On Tues, after some dissembling earlier in the #debate — …Walz made a bid for the high ground, summoning more compelling details from his biography.

#FactCheck #VanceLies #VPdebate #Vote #HarrisWalz2024

For all their occasional paeans to #civility on Tues, this was the moment that crystallized an unshakable truth about this #election: One side still refuses to acknowledge the #truth about the last one — the persistent falsehood that has come to define so much of the era’s fragile & rampaging #politics.

#FactCheck #VanceLies #VPdebate #disinformation #propaganda #trumpaganda
#honesty #integrity #democracy #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024

#JDVance pivoted jarringly to the subject of censorship. #TimWalz glanced up at the camera, silent, like a television character breaking the fourth wall.

“Well, I’ve enjoyed tonight’s debate,” #Walz began when it was his turn again, assessing an evening that was sometimes wobbly for him. He was about to enjoy it more.

“Remember,” #Vance said of #Trump, “he said that on January the 6th, the protesters ought to protest peacefully. And on January the 20th, what happened? Joe Biden became the president. Donald Trump left the White House.”

This accounting was short a few details—the #violence, the #deaths & #injuries, the alleged #criminal #conspiracy, the “Hang Mike Pence” of it all.

“What President #Trump has said is that there were problems,” #JDVance said when asked about his own past assertion that he would not have certified the 2020 election. “We should fight about those issues, debate those issues, peacefully in the public square. And that’s all I’ve said. And that’s all that Donald Trump has said.”

His debate opponent, #TimWalz, stared at him, unblinking….

#FactCheck #VanceLies #VPdebate #disinformation #trumpaganda

But when the #debate turned, near its final frames, to the subject of the 2020 election, #Vance faced a choice: He could validate, once more, #Trump’s relentless #lies about his defeat 4 yrs ago. Or he could try something else in the spirit of moving forward.

It did not seem like a difficult decision for him.

"Trump’s words sounds more like they were sharpened in the flames of a cross at a KKK rally than any kind of serious policy. Is it a vulnerability for Harris that her speeches about the border don’t sound like they were drafted by Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels? What different election are these journalists watching than the one that’s actually happening?" -- Will Bunch

The Profane 78-Year-Old Leading the #Dockworkers Strike

‘They won’t be able to do anything in this country without my people,’ port #union chief #HaroldDaggett says in setting *audacious targets* in a coastwide #strike

Harold Daggett stood in front of the closed gates at the Port of New York & New Jersey just after midnight Tues & delivered a battle cry to hundreds of members of his #union that represents #portworkers from Maine to Texas.

#Longshoremen #economy #HarrisWalz2024

To be abundantly clear, they were offered a 50% raise BEFORE they went on #strike.

The first October surprise from Trump. The port workers strike will try to paint President Biden as anti-union. Trump & Daggett are friends, the same age & were both from Queens, New York.

Key takeaways from #CorporateMedia punditry about the #VPDebate:
- #Facts don't matter
- It's all about the feels
- Style over substance
- #Lying is just fine if you are confident and poised while doing it
- #Racism is just fine if you do it without screaming
- Scapegoating of #immigrants is just #normal American politics (again)

Voters have come to trust #Democrats on #healthcare much more over the years since the #law #Republicans tagged as “#Obamacare” passed. More than 60% of Americans now say they like the #ACA.
In 2010, Obamacare was the culprit for the Democratic wipeout in #Congress, but its political fortunes have turned dramatically. In 2018, Democrats won the #House, largely by running on a message that w/o a Democratic check, #Trump’s myriad efforts to topple the #law would succeed.

#VPdebate #HarrisWalz2024

#Trump supported the #Republican #Congress’s effort to roll back most of Obamacare, including undoing some of the regulations for #PreexistingConditions & making major #cuts to #Medicaid. It failed because of #JohnMcCain.

Trump dramatically cut funding for #enrollment outreach. He tried to introduce Medicaid work requirements for people covered by the #ACA’s expansion (but was stopped by the courts).
