Jimmy Carter Celebrates His 100th Birthday

There's bad reporting and then there's this level of overt propaganda that'd make Fox News blush. CNN's Kristen Holmes probably just sent in her audition tape to get a Trump administration job. Seen in context though, as opposed to the soundbite clip in the tweet below, there is some contrast made between Trump's grotesque early response to the Hurricane, where all he did was blame the Biden administration, and his current masquerade as a "concerned" former president.

David Frum pretty well summed up the probable dynamic for tonight's vice presidential debate with Coach Walz and JD Fancy Pants. Via HuffPost: Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum on Monday talked about how Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz may be able to rile GOP rival JD Vance during their upcoming debate, like Kamala Harris did to Donald Trump during their presidential head-to-head. “I’ve known him for a long time,” Frum said on CNN of Vance, who wrote for Frum’s FrumForum website from 2009 to 2012 under a pseudonym. Trump’s running mate is “very brittle” and his “public persona is a fake,” Frum noted. “He’s someone that when he’s exposed becomes very petulant, very peevish, very angry and very controlling.

Kamala Harris reaffirmed her support for legalizing marijuana yesterday, speaking up on the issue publicly for the first time since she became the Democratic nominee. Via The Hill: “I just think we have come to a point where we have to understand that we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior,” Harris said during a nearly hourlong interview on the sports and culture podcast “All the Smoke” released Monday. “I just feel strongly people should not be going to jail for smoking weed,” she told hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.

Republican House Whip Tom Emmer got very angry when he was fact-checked by CNN's John Berman over his lies about the fundamentals of the U. S. economy instead of discussing JD Vance and the upcoming debate. John Berman brought Emmer on the show to discuss tomorrow's VP debate between Sen. Vance and Gov.

A group of congressional Democrats and Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders on Friday highlighted dozens of profitable U. S. corporations that have paid their executives more than they've paid in federal income taxes in recent years, a problem that the lawmakers attributed in large part to former President Donald Trump's massive tax-cut package that Republicans are working to extend. "In the first five years following the 2017 giveaway, 35 companies raked in $277 billion in domestic profits and paid their executives $9.5 billion—more than they paid in federal income taxes," the lawmakers noted in letters to each of the companies, pointing to recent research by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness. read more
