Took a leisurely e-stroll through
the legislation Kamala Harris introduced or sponsored during her time in the Senate.
It is not an exaggeration to say the vast majority of it is inane race equity stuff, squatter’s rights, and mandating useless environmental reports:
Introduced the “Ensuring Diverse Leadership Act,” which is a generic form of affirmative action in hiring for the Federal Reserve
Introduced the “Climate Equity Act of 2020” which establishes an office at CBO with the purpose of investigating racial climate impact of every single bill
Introduced the “RELIEF Act,” which basically legalized squatting by renters
Not to be confused with the “Rent Relief Act of 2019,” which creates a tax credit for people living beyond their means
(Does encouraging people who make less than $100k to engage in irresponsible financial decision making have a disparate impact?)
The “Environmental Justice for All Act,” which in this case just means a bunch more advisory boards and programs about race & climate.
(Note that “environmental justice community” is defined to basically just mean racial minority community)
Introduced a resolution just to bash Stephen Miller generally (normal stuff, not at all bizarre vindictive behavior…)
Introduced the “CARES Congressional Oversight Commission Diversity Act of 2020,” which establishes race quotas for the commission
Introduced the “Justice in Policing Act of 2020” to lower the criminal standard for suing police and eliminate or curb qualified immunity
(To be fair, this one is substantive, it’s just terrible in substance & horrendously timed)
Introduced this generic 00s-type diversity bill that directs the Department of Education to provide grants for only women and racial minorities in STEM
Introduced the “Protecting Renters from Evictions and Fees Act of 2020,” to clarify renters could squat on privately owned property, not just federal housing
Introduced the “American Dream Employment Act of 2019” to allow illegal aliens to receive work authorization
It goes on and on like this…
So the next time someone implies you’re a bigot for thinking Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate for president, simply point them to her Senate record
If you have friends on the Hill they’ll tell you the same:
Kamala Harris was the DEI senator; she did hardly anything of substance (incl. not being able to land a punch on the Judiciary Cmte), and she had a reputation for annoying one-liners that had been workshopped for weeks

Good morning! We're eating white pills for breakfast out here in Arizona. The gap continues to shrink, and Democrats on the ground are beginning to freak out.
The question remains: What is the total number of ballots we have yet to count? And there, we have reason for optimism!
AP, NBC, & NYT (yes, yes, I know) estimate that we have only counted between 66%-69% of all ballots.
That puts the expected total number of ballots over 2.6 million — meaning over 800,000 votes left to count, the bulk of that in Maricopa.
Senate matchup as of 8:35 AM AZ:
Breakdowns of the estimated margins @bgmasters needs to catch Kelly, given different base numbers of outstanding ballots left to count:
If 500,000 remain, 59%-41%
If 600,000 remain, 57.5%-42.5%
If 700,000 remain, 56.5%-43.5%
If 800,000 remain, 55.6%-44.4%
