Musk blatantly turns his deadbird site into a right-wing cesspool, and loudly endorses Trump. (Journalists still do free work for him, sadly.)

Musk says he's spending $45 million per month until the election to support Trump. (corrected)

Trump starts saying nice things about electric cars after denouncing them.

Kamala Harris on the Power of Optimism (from 2020).

"
[Justice] is not about benevolence or charity; it is about every human being’s God-given right.

Unity is when everyone is respected and has an equal voice.

That the measure of you is so much bigger than you; it’s the impact you have, it’s what you do in service to others.

Optimism is the fuel driving every fight I’ve been in.
"
