Perhaps #Trump doesn’t get the basic concept of supply and demand because he was pulling in $300k per year from his daddy’s tax fraud scheme as a toddler and has only ever succeeded by grifting, stiffing suppliers and slapping his name on stuff.

Is there a gaping loophole in the law barring federal contractors “from making contributions or expenditures to any political party, committee, or candidate for federal office,” or do we just rely too much on this guy to get stuff into space to enforce it?

Does anyone have an exhaustive list of MAGA Republicans who have said “I condemn political violence?”
Because so far all I have is this:
Political scientists had long found that candidates who used explicit racial demagoguery paid a price for it at the polls. Hence the need for coded dog-whistles.
But after Obama's election, they found that that penalty had disappeared.
And here we are.

Wow. This is a pretty good poll for Harris, even if Iowa is probably a bridge too far.
#Trump leads #Harris by only 4 points in #Iowa, erasing a lead of 18 points over #Biden from earlier in the Spring.

NEW -- This morning Springfield City School District tells ABC News that they've evacuated two elementary schools: Perrin Woods and Snowhill Elementary. Then, schools released those students to their parents.
Just like when the fascist-republicans started saying queer teachers were hurting kids and bomb threats followed. Stochastic terrorism.

Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris minutes after Harris' debate against Donald Trump finished.Rebecca Picciotto (CNBC)
Do people who are pissed off by the Cheneys’ endorsement not see how much better off we’d be if many more horrendous wingnuts were similarly outraged by Trump’s hamfisted coup attempt?
Most of them were for like 5 minutes after Jan 6. Imagine if that sentiment had stuck?
Since Jill Stein only shows up every 4 years I wanted to quickly remind everyone, not just of this photo, but how notoriously difficult to it is to have access to war criminal Vladimir Putin, let alone *a seat at a table with him*. Backing Jill Stein is willful ignorance.
Georgia, The weak, inept Brian Kemp family that brought slavery to Georgia . . . says when kids are killed: This is not the day to talk about safety or policy.
This nasty nazi needs to be fired by the people of Georgia.
Also, The Kemp family played a significant role in bringing slavery to Georgia. Initially, slavery was prohibited in the colony. However, Habersham, an ancestor of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, fought to overturn this ban and succeeded in establishing the practice on his plantations¹². This historical fact has been a point of contention, especially given recent legislative actions by Governor Kemp that critics argue aim to obscure such aspects of history.
Georgia get rid of this monster.

@emptywheel seeing clearly here what so many others miss:
“Thus far, horserace journalists have been absolutely loathe to hold Trump accountable for the bad things that happened when he was President: his failures on COVID as well as jobs lost for reasons other than pandemic, the spike in crime, his corruption of rule of law.
But Kamala has finally made Trump own something, his role in stripping women of their bodily autonomy.”

Ray LaHood was the perfect Republican to serve in a Dem admin. He was a slightly crooked but legitimately moderate Rep—one of only three House Republicans who didn’t sign Newt’s Contract on America.
I think he was a decent Secy of Transportation for Obama. Maybe Kamala should just hire him.
Jesus fucking Christ, NYT, was the Holocaust also an affordable housing plan?

Mark Knoller’s been around for a long time. He’s covered every POTUS since Gerry Ford. He absolutely knows that there’s a tradition of newly nominated tickets giving joint interviews after their party’s convention.
He’s just a fucking hack. Has been for a long time.
