Five more polling places in DeKalb County have received bomb threats. Voting has been suspended at those precincts. This is a deliberate attempt to prevent Americans from casting ballots. FBI has linked today’s previous threats to Russians. Official release below

This video is incredible.
Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Former President Donald Trump said Kamala Harris' “plan will raise taxes for the typical American family by an estimated $3,000." He’s wrong. politifact.com/factchecks/20…

This press release is quite something.
Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards, who represents western North Carolina, outlines the many "outrageous rumors" that have spread through conservative circles in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

when Joe Biden didn’t do the Super Bowl interview, it was a giant political earthquake.
when Trump skips a 50-yr old tradition, it’s just Monday.
For more than half a century, the major party candidates for president have sat down with 60 Minutes. This year, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump accepted our invitation. Unfortunately, last week Trump canceled. cbsn.ws/3zEZhPR

Seeing a lot of posts trying to use North Carolina’s #Helene tragedy as a wedge issue, including the disgraced Republican nominee for governor.
Cut that shit out. So many people we live and care about have lost everything. We’re all on Team NC right now.

Mark Cuban on CNBC: "Donald Trump is trying to come in with the hammer and say, 'I'm gonna hit you with a 200% tariff, John Deere.' Kamala Harris is saying, 'I'm going to give you incentives to manufacture more.' Which do you think is gonna work better with companies?"

Advertising … you mean like the Nike swoosh on every Penn State football jersey? Hypocrites
(1/3) Removing newspapers from circulation is censorship, @penn_state. Plain and simple.
The university says it removed @DailyCollegian's 35 newsstands — and all the papers — because of a prohibition of on-campus advertising. But it doesn't add up.

The number of Republicans in NC who will end up voting for Mark Robinson to be their governor this November will illustrate vividly how broken the Republican Party is after 8 years of Trump. There are no minimum standards, and the only litmus test is total loyalty to Trump.

The two were teammates in college at @UNCFootball.

New: Sales at US retailers unexpectedly surged in July, the Commerce Department said Thursday, rising by a solid 1% from the prior month, up from June’s downwardly revised 0.2% decline. That trounced economists’ expectations of a 0.3% gain.

Spoiler: This happens in EVERY state that adopts school vouchers. The wealthiest people in the state benefit from having their private school tuition supplemented while the working poor pay for it. They then raise the prices to keep the poors out of the choice places.
Parents thought the tax credit would reduce what they pay. Instead, many schools raised tuition in a comparable amount to the tax credit. oklahoman.com/story/news/202…

A lot of people became “boxing experts” soon after Imane Khelif made her debut at #Paris2024 .
Their social media harangues included assumptions, misinformation and, as the IOC put it, “abuse”.
Facts can become optional with a political point to be made.
