Kamala Harris and Tim Walz showed today that they know what this election means, and they showed that they are more than up to the task.

The country benefits from that.

The only people who don’t benefit from it are grifters on the right who have given up any dignity to fall in line with Trump and reporters who insist upon creating false equivalencies.

They’re totally losing it, and, you know what, it’s good to see.

I’m not shedding a tear. And I’m not fighting with them. Forget that.

I like the idea of non lawyers in government. Different perspectives are valuable.

Tim Walz Is the First Democrat Since Jimmy Carter Who Joined a White House Ticket Without Law School Experience

Tim Walz is the first person on a Democratic presidential ticket to have not attended law school since Jimmy Carter ran for reelection in 1980. Walz has a military and education background, earning a master's in educational leadership from Minnesota State University, Mankato

alright let’s do this
VP Harris praises President Biden's legacy, telling NCAA champions' event on the White House South Lawn "we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation."

Democrats will be giving Americans such an obviously clear choice here.

You’ve got Kamala Harris running as the voice of the future, who’s been the VP of an administration with a long list of significant accomplishments to talk about, along with a great economy, on a pro-choice platform, against the guy who ended Roe.

And you’ve got that guy: Trump, now the oldest candidate to ever get a nomination, trying to drag America down just like he did before.

We can do this. #KamalaHarris2024

Via Andrew Weissmann:

Judge #Cannon wrote: "Mr. Smith is a private citizen exercising the full power of a United States Attorney, and with very little oversight or supervision."

All wrong: he is a part of the Department of Justice and subject to all the rules of the Department of Justice. That is explicit in the Special Counsel regulations.

Neal Katyal:

Exactly right.

If you want access to free books, please get a library card.

In the US, the more people there are with library cards, the more funding libraries have access to.

Libraries provide more than books. They are a community resource.

As an author and reader, I support libraries!

Remember, it's okay to turn off the news for a bit.

Cops at Parkland couldnt protect students from a terrorist w/an AR15

Cops at Uvalde couldnt protect students from a terrorist w/an AR15

Cops AND Secret Service at Trump's rally couldnt protect civilians from a terrorist w/an AR15

But GOP expects grade school teachers, Nurse Betty, and Lunch Lady Doris to do what firearms trained professionals can't?🤔 smh beyond absurd.

I studied the #holocaust in college, met survivors of the camps. I visited Auschwitz and let the reality of the holocaust sink in deeply. I took the lesson of "never again" seriously. But I learned to take "never again" to apply not only to Jews but to Palestinians, indigenous people, migrants, the homeless, and the underprivileged everywhere. Just now, the lives of #Palestinians are in peril and arming the state of Israel to destroy Gaza and Palestinians must be stopped.
