When he was called upon to answer a threat to Americans so severe that it would in barely three months leave more dead than were killed in World War I, Trump deliberately lied.

1/3 thenation.com/article/politi…
Trump downplayed the danger in the critical early stages of the fight—which the president would eventually describe as “our big war”—and he has continued to lie as the death toll has ticked upward, past 100,000, past 150,000, past 175,000.

2/3
Tens of thousands of those deaths were preventable. But Trump’s lies made them inevitable.

Liz Cheney campaigned with Kamala Harris in hopes of getting battleground-state Republicans to back the Democrat.

The effort failed miserably.

Support from Republicans for the Democratic ticket collapsed, especially in towns where Cheney campaigned.

1/4
 thenation.com/article/politi…
The NBC Exit Poll showed conservative support for the Democratic ticket fell from 14% in 2020 to 9% in 2024. Support from self-identified Republicans for the Democratic ticket also went down in the national survey.

2/4

In Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party, where Cheney first appeared with Harris, Trump’s percentage of the vote rose several points from 2020 to 2024. Support for the Democratic ticket declined.

Cheney was no benefit to Harris.

Election Day, November, 1884
By Walt Whitman

If I should need to name, O Western World, your powerfulest scene and show,
'Twould not be you, Niagara—nor you, ye limitless prairies—nor your huge rifts of canyons, Colorado,

1/7
Nor you, Yosemite—nor Yellowstone, with all its spasmic geyser-loops ascending to the skies, appearing and disappearing,

2/7
Nor Oregon's white cones—nor Huron's belt of mighty lakes—nor Mississippi's stream:
—This seething hemisphere's humanity, as now, I'd name—the still small voice vibrating—America's choosing day,

Teamsters union joint councils and locals in battleground states and across the US—representing 1 million workers—have endorsed Kamala Harris in an unprecedented show of labor solidarity. These are the Teamsters that do the heavy lifting on Election Day.
thenation.com/article/politi…
While the international union chose not to endorse, Teamsters caucuses, joint councils and union locals in battleground states have endorsed Harris. These are the most activist Teamsters units, which have deep experience mobilizing get-out-vote drives.

thenation.com/article/politi…
“This election is too important for our union not to do its duty... There is only one candidate in this race that has supported working families and unions throughout their career, and that is Kamala Harris.”
— Former Teamsters President James P. Hoffa

The 107-year-old Capital Times in Madison, Wisconsin, becomes the first newspaper in the United States to respond to the deliberations of the Democratic National Convention by formally endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

captimes.com/opinion/editor…
Founded in 1917 as a newspaper that backed Republicans, The Capital Times editorial described its respect for Republicans who tried to do right by Wisconsin. But, it said, “We have no such respect for Donald Trump, or for his running mate JD Vance.”

captimes.com/opinion/editor…
The Capital Times wrote: “If the Republican Party was serious about politics, and serious about governing at this definitional moment in American history, it would have rejected Trump and Trumpism at its convention in Milwaukee. But that didn’t happen.”

How did Tim Walz come from the back of the field to win the confidence of Kamala Harris and his party's VP nod?

Walz presented himself as an unapologetic FDR-style progressive who's ready to join Harris in mounting a transfornational 2024 campaign.

thenation.com/article/politi…
Dems wanted a VP nominee who would stand up for economic justcie and human rights, proudly embrace progressivism and call out the weirdness of Trump's Republican Party.

While others triangulated, Walz jumped at the chance to be the progressive populist.

thenation.com/article/politi…
Tim Walz delivered a robust Franklin Delano Roosevelt-style appeal to urban AND rural voters, by identifying Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, their billionaire donors and their venture-capitalist cabal as the robber barons who have stolen American prosperity.

Supreme Court rejects oversight by agencies staffed by experts in the areas they regulate and instead determines that courts have the expertise to deal with the issues… in a decision where Justice Gorsuch confuses laughing gas with a dangerous air pollutant.

#ChevronDecision Image
For decades, federal agencies have interpreted complex scientific, technicaL & technological issues in order to assure that regulations approved by Congress can effectively protect our food, our water, our air, our transportation systems.

SCOTUS has now rejected that precedent.
“You may have a random judge in Amarillo deciding on the safety of heart medicines or clean air for our kids, or rules to keep the doors from blowing off airplanes. Judges will now be able to essentially rewrite our laws.”
— David Doniger
