Kamala Harris’s housing plan is the most aggressive since post-World War II boom, experts say

"Our lack of affordable housing will continue to depress savings, opportunity and growth in ways that will do long-term harm to the nation’s economy."

I’ve been thinking about the deeper meaning of the effort to bring in so many voices at the Democratic National Convention. In this tight election, it is clear on the surface that #Harris is simply trying to turn out as many voters for her as possible - disillusioned Republicans, Americans of all races, men and women, police and military members, younger folks. But I think something more ambitious is being attempted. 1/
You can't just give huge tax cuts to millionaires, they will just spend it on drugs, and overpriced social media companies that they won't even know how to run correctly.

A judge has forced Elon Musk to disclose who helped him buy Twitter.

And to no one's surprise: Two rich Russians from Putin's inner circle were part of the deal. Their names are Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich, and allegedly they are related to companies on the list.

And clearly, EU parliamentarian Guy Verhofstadt is not having it.

Obviously, indirect Russian relations in itself is not proof of Russian influence.

I will do some more digging.

Elon Musk was just forced to reveal who really owns X. Here’s the list

Organizations linked to Bill Ackman, Larry Ellison, and Sean Combs, a.k.a. Diddy or Puff Daddy, were mentioned in the filing.

More than weird.

JD Vance fully embraces the racist, extremist, anti-democratic views of the most bonkers tech billionaires and pro-slavery bloggers.

Opinion | Where Does JD Vance’s Ideology Really Come From?

The vice-presidential candidate has right-wing friends in high places.

The Internet is "discussing" this picture and in many places one side is being insulted for the outfit the choose. Some people are also writing condescendingly: Both choices are completely fine (star-emoji).
What most people fail to recognize is that none of the women really chose their outfit. They are forced to do their sport in outfits that are approved by the men of their patriarchal system. In one system you have to cover yourself, in the other you have to get naked to be able to take part.

Seems to me that #KamalaHarris would be crazy to start doing interviews. There’s no chance that they would improve her position, since the journalists will actively be trying to take her down/score points. “But the voting public needs to know more about her.” I dunno, she’s got a track record, she’s obviously sane, and she’s not Donald Trump. Maybe that should be enough?

It’s actually pretty damn simple: Vote for Kamala Harris and you never have to think about Donald Trump ever again, for the rest of your life.
