Told you so, Debbie Downers.

Now comes the part where you tell me her politics suck. And I remind you that I've said repeatedly that I hate her politics too, but that she's still a good ally in this one case: Defeating Trump.

Pro-#Trump group attacks #Harris for murder that took place 14 yrs ago

Preserve America #PAC is a pro-Trump group, largely funded by #billionaire #MiriamAdelson, that expects to spend $100 million in this election cycle. This ad, which comes in 30-sec & 60-sec versions, links VP #KamalaHarris, to the murder of a teenager nearly 14 yrs ago.

Harris at the time was the DA for San Francisco. The murder took place in Texas.

Today, Vice President #Harris will propose a significant expansion of the tax deduction new small businesses can take.

Currently, small business owners can deduct up to $5,000 in startup expenses. Harris wants to expand that to a $50,000 tax benefit.

Harris will set a goal of 25 million new small-business applications in her first term if elected.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Team #Harris just announced an almost $25 mil donation to bolster Dems up & down the ballot — the largest transfer ever in a pres cycle, according to the campaign.

The full breakdown:

* $10 million to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

* $10 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

* $2.5 million to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee

* $1 million to the Democratic AGs Association

* $1 million to the Democratic Governors' Association

This is SOOO important.

We need a #BlueTrifecta nationally to get anything done. And we need them in as many states as possible to stop the #LaboratoriesOfAutocracy.

#Harris supporting the *whole* party is a major change. And a key part of the #NewWayForward

Every time I see a poll showing Harris with a modest lead, I have the same thought:

Via @stevebenen:

The electoral college tilts the playing field, and #Harris has to try to run up the score to prevent losing, even if she "wins" the popular vote by millions of people. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/2024-race-polls-kamala-harris-donald-trump-presidential-election-rcna169333

As 2024 race enters a new stage, the polls come with an electoral college caveat

Kamala Harris' polling lead might be real, but our system makes it easier for Republicans to win the White House, even when they receive fewer votes.

Via CBS’s Aaron Navarro:

According to a campaign official, during Vice President #Harris’ Pittsburgh trip today, she is expected to say that U.S. Steel should remain domestically owned.

This continues Pres. #Biden's stance in the spring where he opposed the merger of U.S. Steel with Nippon Steel of Japan

Via Juliet Jeske “Decoding Fox News”:

#Project2025 has #Trump’s name all over it. Guess what else it has? The phrase “decertify government unions.” It’s incredibly anti-union. Trump praised Elon #Musk for busting a union. Wake up and see the fake populism. Trump does not support unions. Don’t be a Putz.

• #Harris will visit MI and PA

• #Biden will join Harris in PA

• Tim #Walz & Gwen Walz will visit MN and WI

• Douglas #Emhoff will visit VA

• Trump and JDVance don't have any public events scheduled

Neither got a bounce from their conventions. Pundits’ predictions were wrong again.

The stunning cost of #Trump’s #abortion bans.

“Infant deaths surged 12.9% in Texas compared with a 1.8% increase across the rest of the country in the year after the state enacted its strict abortion ban.”

Via Tom Bonier:

I graphed the percent of new registrants who were women for every day of the past 2+ years. This is just the 15 states where we have files updated since the 7/21 candidate change.

Look at that spike in late July. The #Harris Effect is adding to the Dobbs effect, surpassing the 2022 peaks. #abortion

Can you spell "desperate"? "Floundering"? "Lies"? "Projection"?

Trump's now stealing #Harris's campaign theme. In a speech, he said, "Every day will be filled with joy, opportunity, and hope" if he wins.

Wow.

It makes me feel like I'm on crazy pills listening to pundits talk about the "high stakes" of tonight's CNN interview for Kamala #Harris when her opponent is desecrating Arlington Cemetery and amplifying disgusting misogyny on social media. Voting for #Trump is a profoundly ugly and irresponsible choice that should not be normalized.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Vice President #Harris just said in Savannah that she plans to unveil a small business tax credit policy proposal next week.

"I'm telling you, this is one of my singular priorities, is to invest and grow our small businesses."

Seriously Bash? SERIOUSLY? #Harris dispensed of this beautifully and effectively. With dignity.

Via Griffin:

CNN's BASH: [Trump] suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.

The first 10 minutes of Kamala #Harris’s CNN interview with Dana Bash is already more serious and substantive than any interview Donald #Trump has ever given in the nine long years since he rode down his golden escalator in 2015.

Via Jason Karsh:

It is hilarious to hear Dana Bash asking detailed policy questions and follow-ups to #Harris when this is virtually never done with Republicans and absolutely would not happen with #Trump. I mean, I support journalism and she should do this, the double standard is just interesting.

Via Tim Miller:

Some important context on why Kamala #Harris hasn’t met #Trump face to face. He didn’t show up to the ceremonial transition of power after his violent coup attempt failed.

"My first thought was about him, to be honest. I think history is gonna show a number of things about Joe Biden's presidency" - #Harris says she was sitting down to do a puzzle w/ her nieces when #Biden called & told her he was getting out of the race and & was going to endorse her
