Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend, fully vaccinated and boosted, with family and friends. That new booster shot is out…be sure to get it.
Vice President Harris Delivers the Eulogy at the Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Memorial Service
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

Headline when Trump leads by 1.5%: “Trump Holds Clear Lead Over Biden”
Headline when Harris leads by 1.5%: “Harris and Trump Are Tied”
The media’s double standards are so insufferable. 🙄 https://t.co/fi0X3LioBk

It’s interesting how “any time, any place” becomes “one specific time, one specific safe space.”
I’ll be there on September 10th, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.

Trump is afraid to debate. He is a coward. He can only operate with a fake news organization that is a partner in election denial. He is running scared.

Harris campaign says there was no agreement. Michael Tyler: “Donald Trump is running scared & trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to & running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games & show up to the debate he already committed to”

OMFG. The Times — via its quite white man, Jeremy Peters — hits a new bottom. It seeks out “many” (read: “dozens”) of people to tell this racist nation’s first Black and Asian presidential candidate to stop talking about race.
The Times’ dismissal of “identify politics” is the northern-white-liberal equivalent of Republicans calling @KamalaHarris the DEI candidate. She is the target of blatant racism, which The Times still refuses to name. Instead, it engages in this incipient racism: telling the Black woman to shush.
The Times is worse than broken. The Times damages democracy.

“It is clear that Trump really has buyer’s remorse,” Josh Shapiro said about Trump’s pick of Vance.
Trump took Vance for a race against Biden. Now it’s Harris, who’ll pick her VP shortly. Will Trump try to step on that story by picking a new one himself?

This man is going to have a place in my heart forever.
He has been one of the best Presidents of all time.
@POTUS, you have your place in history. What you achieved in one term was more than what most Presidents achieved in their two terms.
You did your job and did it well. 🖖 https://t.co/NkOYE1hskF

So Trump is too afraid to face Kamala in a neutral setting he previously agreed to. He basically admits that to face her he’ll need to the assist of two Fox hosts and its whole network.
You know what that is?
It’s weak.

The Times has a piece on Trumps unilateral debate ploy which takes the whole thing at face value, says “unclear” if Harris has agreed to it yet and barely mentions the ABC debate Trump just pulled out of but follows his line of criticism agst it https://t.co/nrK28HyRRQ

NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online “register to vote” form that does not directly register people to vote.
All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president.

It is freaky that the WaPo’s story today about Trump maybe getting a $10 million illicit payment from Egypt’s dictator is not making much of an impact–and that the same is true for the CNN version reported in 2020. Massive corruption has been normalized, at least for one man…. https://t.co/pyK8Ispxz3

There’s no way around it. Trump’s media sycophants cannot spin this.
The Big Bad Orange Man is a punk ass beeyotch who is scared to debate Vice President Kamala Harris unless he can stack the deck.
