  • This Is Why You Don’t Mess With the Election Calendar
    Mother Jones, Tuesday - 10/01/2024 - 10:53 AM

    By the time he endorsed former President Donald Trump in late August, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid had long ceased to be a functioning campaign. He had collapsed in the polls, failed to qualify for the ballot in many states, and basically stopped doing events. Yet, in death, his campaign found new life—as a way to game the democratic process for his favored candidate.

  • Is Donald Trump coming to Aurora? No clear plans for visit, despite comments — but Vance will have local fundraiser.
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 10/01/2024 - 08:00 AM

    In mid-September, former President Donald Trump said he planned to visit Aurora “in the next two weeks” as he stoked a national firestorm about immigration and an alleged Venezuelan gang takeover in the city. On Monday — 12 days after those rally comments — there didn’t appear to be any plans developing for the Republican presidential candidate to visit Colorado’s third-largest city.

  • All GOP Wants Out Of Election 2024 Is To Extend Trump Tax Scam
    Crooks and Liars, Tuesday - 10/01/2024 - 07:18 AM

    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
