Warnock: Trump doesn’t even recognize the sad irony of his remark. In a real sense Kamala Harris’s story is an iteration of the American story, the diversity that is among us and often within us and that is the American story— Out of many one, E pluribus unum. She carries that literally in her veins and in that sense, he doesn’t know who we are and if you don’t know us then you can’t represent us, you certainly can’t lead us

It DISPLAYED the social security numbers, drivers license info and DOBs for everyone registered to vote in the state.
EXACTLY what Democrats worried could happen.

If Trump is reelected, Justice Alito may retire. Justice Thomas too.
Trump would then be the first president in more than 50 years to appoint a majority of the Supreme Court.
And not just a “conservative” majority — but a MAGA majority.
SCOTUS is on the ballot this November.

Bill Barr says that enforcing a code of ethics on the Supreme Court would purge conservative justices. Let that argument sink in for a minute…

a huge amount of presidential politics in recent decades is the GOP using the right wing echo chamber to beat up Dem candidates over 18 months or many years, and that then bleeds into MSM coverage. The Harris blitz has at least for the moment short circuited that process.

John Roberts will go down in history on a par with Mitch McConnell.
Both of them “knew better.” Both of them prized being thought of as “institutionalist.” Both of them will be remembered as shorthand references to Vichy Republican collapse.

Stephen Richer worked hard to uphold the 2020 and 2022 election results. I’m not thrilled that he lost to a Kari Lake disciple like Justin Heap.
Tim Stringham is the Dem running against Justin in the general so let’s boost his followers, shall we?

We’re not going back. If you got something to say, say it to my face. When we fight, we win.
Already, the @KamalaHarris campaign has lines that will last.

Unless NABJ course corrects, Kamala should stay far away from this mess.
trump clearly used them to draw her out. He wont debate her but he’ll use Black orgs against her. Foul asf.
He doesn’t care about Black people. He continues to make y’all look STUPID. https://t.co/smwu5mfiS2

As someone who worked for @KamalaHarris’ first presidential campaign, a lot of people have been asking me what’s different.
When I talked to voters in 2019, the most common thing I got was, “I like her, but the country’s not ready for her.”
Well, we’re sure as hell ready now.

MAGA and the bandwagon bros are shook because they believed their own false narratives about Kamala and her popularity they didn’t know the base & youth were ALWAYS behind her and READY TO RALLY now they have to confront this reality 🤷🏾♀️
I love this journey for them 😂

In 2010, Republicans spent major $$ to stop Kamala Harris from becoming California AG because Karl Rove knew that if she won, she would become an unstoppable force. He was even more right than he knew.
