A reader in Philly has flagged another mysterious new monument that has magically appeared in a public park to "honor" Trump.

It looks a lot like the ones popping up in DC.

Titled "In Honor Of A Lifetime Of Sexual Assault," it features Trump's "grab em by the pu**y" comment. Image

This reader emails that she was walking her dog in Maja Park this morning and came across this "probably 8 foot tall statue of Donald Trump like leering at the nude Maja statue that's been there." Image
Some people have stopped to take pics of this "monument" to Trump. Image

I traveled 13 hours from DC to Window Rock, Arizona -- the capital of Navajo Nation -- for an Indigenous-led voter mobilization event featuring Mark Ruffalo, 100s of voters (and Hulk fans) + a 3-mile walk to cast ballots.

Savvy operation unfolding here. huffpost.com/entry/arizona-…
Native Americans have faced so many obstacles to voting, for so long.

Even for this walk to a remote polling site, which carried deep meaning for participants, people came with spirit and a demand to be heard -- and then hit a barrier to casting their votes at the end.
This 3-mile trek, organized by Allie Redhorse Young of @protect_sacred, was part of a broader voter engagement operation underway in reservations like Navajo Nation, the biggest tribe in the U.S.

Tribes could decide if Harris or Trump wins this state. huffpost.com/entry/arizona-…

I talked to North Carolina state Rep. Lindsey Prather, who represents part of Buncombe County -- a devastated region where Asheville is based -- about whether misinformation is affecting the disaster recovery efforts there.

(Short answer: it is.) huffpost.com/entry/hurrican…
“The biggest issue is rumors and fake memes and photos of people being trapped in areas around the county," said Prather, who said local/state/fed govt officials are working around the clock to help.

"We send folks out to rescue them, and there’s no one there to be rescued."
Prather said there's no cell service for much of the area.

The problem is when people get WiFi for a few mins, go on FB and see posts about people being trapped, share it without verifying it, those posts "spread like wildfire," rescue teams rush out there and nobody's there.

My god did JD Vance lie and gaslight his way through last night's VP debate. About big things. So casually. Things that are so easy to call out.

Like.... (1/x)
... his claim that Trump “salvaged” Obamacare.

How many times did Republicans in Congress try (and fail) to dismantle Obamacare? 65? 70? And how many times did Trump demand that they do it, before and after he became president? Dozens.
Last night, Vance bizarrely claimed Trump was Obamacare's savior because of some regulations he put in place as president.

“I think you can make a really good argument that it salvaged Obamacare, which was doing disastrously until Donald Trump came along,” he said.

What??

Ben & Jerry’s co-founders have created a new limited edition ice cream flavor in support of Kamala Harris' campaign: "Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee." 🥥

MoveOn is raffling off free, signed pints as part of a new "Scoop the Voter" tour of swing states. huffpost.com/entry/2024-ele…
MoveOn will be driving an ice cream truck to more than 20 cities in swing states -- PA, MA, NV, AZ, MI -- handing out ice cream and engaging with voters.

Other Harris-themed ice cream flavors on the truck: "Unburdened By What Has Vanilla Bean" and "Fight For Our Rights Sorbet."
"Unburdened By What Has Vanilla Bean"

Today, a group of House Dems is launching a new task force to fight Trump's "dystopian" policy plans if he wins in Nov.

“We have to mount the resistance in real time," said Rep. Jared Huffman. "If we’re caught off guard by it, we’re going to be too late." huffpost.com/entry/house-de…
Huffman is very, very concerned that most people don't realize what Trump is planning to do if he gets back into the White House. And how quickly he can act.

"I believe we’re really close to having our democracy replaced by a dystopian, right-wing theocracy," he told HuffPost.
Trump's policy agenda includes deporting 11M people, banning abortion pills nationwide and deploying U.S. troops against American citizens.

They’re not strictly his plans; the Heritage Foundation provided him with a 920-page “Project 2025” blueprint that he intends to follow.
