This @AP story is a perfect example of political reporters chasing their own tails. There's no polling cited that shows voters are demanding Harris explain how she is different from Biden .. it's a narrative driven almost exclusively by political reporters

Let me put it this way: There are no meaningful poll results until you find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 40, because they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.

Veterans are overwhelmingly condemning Trump for his smiling, thumbs-up photo op at Arlington National Cemetery as one of the most disgusting and despicable things he's ever done — and that's saying something. 😡😡😡

🚨If you’re looking for a textbook example of Stolen Valor, look no further than Donald Trump’s campaign and the 50 Veterans who signed this letter.
29 of the signatures come from Republicans who falsely claim they retired from military service.
The most egregious example is Ronny Jackson, the former Navy officer reduced in rank from Rear Admiral to Captain after retirement.

Fox Host: It was your colleagues in the Republican Party who torpedoed your border bill, not Democrats.
Sen. Lankford (R-OK): It was. Trump said don't fix anything, so my colleagues looked for a reason to shoot against it.

Less than two weeks ago, 44 Republican Senators voted AGAINST expanding the child tax credit.
And JD Vance missed the vote entirely.
.@JDVance says he thinks the child tax credit "should be bigger" than it was under the Biden administration, suggesting a credit of $5,000 per child.
"I think you want it to apply to all American families. I don't think that you want this massive cut off for lower income families, which you have right now. You don't want a different policy for higher income families. You just want to have a pro-family Child Tax Credit.”
Asked if a Trump-Vance administration’s policies would also apply to gay families, Vance says, “All families would be included, of course."

With measles on the uptick despite the availability of a highly effective vaccine, it's worth reflecting on Roald Dahl's account of the final day of his 7-year-old daughter's life.
At least eight people have gotten measles in an outbreak in the Philadelphia area.
One child was sent to daycare despite quarantine instructions, and four others there subsequently got infected. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

As this news unfolds it’s worth reminding that in 2020 Michigan was first among the battlegrounds to go in the certification calendar. Had Trump succeeded in delaying or preventing a county or statewide certification in Michigan, that precedent would have been used to delay or block certification in Pennsylvania (which was certifying the following week), Georgia and so on, paving the way for the false slate of electors. We knew we were the first domino to go and that what Michigan did would impact the others.

#RIP Ken Kelsch. Served two tours in Vietnam and was Abel Ferrara’s cinematographer on ‘Bad Lieutenant,’ lots more. “Filmmaking is like combat,” he said. “It’s 90% boredom, 5% panic and 5% terror. Especially on an Abel Ferrara project.” Amazing guy. bit.ly/46RNbgN

This is financial fraud and when people start going to prison for it then it will stop. And this stuff happens ALL THE TIME and it's just accepted.

Director Reginald Hudlin: "I can’t wait for the world to see Candy Cane Lane. I’ve wanted to make a Christmas movie my whole life. Eddie Murphy and this hilarious cast really bring the funny, it’s super Christmas-y, and it will hit you right in the feels."
