Sec. Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump is baitable, he has a very fragile ego, he has to tell himself how great he is, he constantly needs emotional support. I baited him about nuclear weapons, VP Harris baited him about his crowd size. She exposed him and did it so effectively.
Mark Cuban: Donald Trump is who should be worried on the economy. VP Harris is pro business, she wants to partner and incentivize businesses. Trump wants to beat down American companies, while VP Harris wants to incorporate new technologies so we can compete better. I'm a big fan
🚨CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: Vice President Harris is proposing tax cuts for low and middle-class Americans and cracking down on price gouging. Trump is proposing tax cuts for the very rich and praising Elon Musk for firing striking workers.
👀Wisconsin voters heap praise on
@KamalaHarris
: 'I'd much rather have VP Harris than be frightened by another 4 years with Donald Trump.' 'I like her positive attitude -- going forwards not backwards.' 'She proved she was capable in the debate and has proved that since then.'
🚨CNBC host: VP Harris will get closer to balancing the budget than Trump. She talked about higher taxes for the ultra wealthy and corporations. She isn't against success, she just wants a fair system. That resonated. She laid out a practical case and it landed to a large degree.
🚨🚨🚨 Secretary Hillary Clinton: Americans need to take Trump seriously and literally. He and his allies have said what they want to do with Project 2025 and his desire to be a dictator on day one. Its all in the public record.
!!! Fox News reporter: VP Harris plans to reduce student and medical debt, eliminate medical debt from credit scores, promote entrepreneurship and access to capital, expand the small business tax deduction to $50k and reduce bias in home appraisals to create generational wealth.
Rural voter tears up as she reacts to Vice President Harris visiting her town: I feel exuberant, elated that this community will have a firsthand contact with this incredible person. I am so happy that a capable woman with integrity may be in charge.
Analyst: "People are saving alot of money. Americans are going to $750 million less on gasoline this holiday weekend alone, that's very good news."
President Biden and Vice President Harris' plan to lower prices for Americans continues to pay dividends.
🔥 Brig. General Steve Anderson tears into Donald Trump: Trump is a guy who coddles dictators, he treats NATO like a country club. He will let Ukraine dangle in the wind. VP Harris will fight for America, fight for the Ukrainians and fight for our national security.
🔥🔥🔥Secretary Hillary Clinton: We are not going back to the chaos of Donald Trump. We aren't going back to the romance with dictators that endangers American security. To the failure to protect American's during COVID. More and more Americans are rejecting the chaos of Trump.
CNN: Where is Trump? He’s not campaigning. He’s very defensive. You saw him triggered. He’s watching the Harris-Walz rallies and that’s why he’s so upset.
In an interview with Dr. Phil, Trump claims the only reason he lost California, which has not voted for a Republican president since 1988, is because of mail-in voting. "I guarantee if Jesus came down and was the vote counter, I would win California"
Sec. Hillary Clinton: This election is about two very different ideas of what this country should be. Democracy vs. autocracy. Freedom vs. oppression. VP Harris wants to bring us together, she wants to be the president for everybody.
👀 Donald Trump's 2020 Press Communications Director: Vice President Harris set herself up as the stronger presence on that stage. The handshake was a classic debate move. Trump didn't expect it.
🚨😬NewsNation host plays a clip of Trump rambling, tells Trump handler Corey Lewandowski: That is not Trump being Trump, it's low energy and it's led people to wonder if his heart is even in this race.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just predicted that Kamala Harris will cause a 1929 style stock market crash if elected. This is ironic given Kamala Harris is the VP and you can clearly see the stock ticker rising as Trump speaks. Retweet so all Americans see this.
🚨CNN on the Harris-Walz bus tour: Gov. Walz can connect with voters in rural small towns, he's from a small town, his story will play well in Georgia. Vice President Harris has the personnel to do it with
@quentinfulks
who perfected this strategy in small towns, it's very smart.
Q: Some women felt like your 'childless cat lady' comment was a gut punch to them personally. Do you regret making that comment?
Vance: I think it's important to be the person I actually am. I think it's important for me to be a normal human being
Q: No regrets?
Vance: I have
ABC Reporter: Trump has said he wants tariffs of 20% or more on U.S. trading partners, what will that mean for inflation? The Harris camp says that would be a national sales tax. Meanwhile, VP Harris wants to expand the Child Tax Credit and offer a first time homebuyer tax credit
Remarkable the debate negotiations involve 3 parties: the Harris campaign, the Trump campaign, and Trump himself — and the latter two are the main ones in conflict!
MORE: Wisconsin voter calls out Donald Trump for being too scared to debate, killing the bipartisan immigration deal that would have strengthened border security.
"It's obvious why he doesn't want to do another debate because he doesn't know the issues."
Fmr. Sen. McCaskill: Fox News is cutting Trump off because he's gotten really boring. Even the die hards in his crowd start wandering away when he's speaking at his rallies because he's boring. It's crazy town.
What an abject disaster. Totally inexplicable. Legitimizes the process and significantly worsens the consequences. Second I saw there was maybe good "bipartisan" news I knew it was too good to be true.
McColley (R) moving to approve the new maps that award the GOP up to 67% of our seats despite having won just 54% of our votes in the last decade. Antonio (D) seconds.
Faber: This process worked better than last time, good job everyone!
Maps pass 7-0.
Goodness.
Three shortest tenures for Speaker of the House:
1. Theodore M. Pomeroy (March 3-4, 1869): honored with one-day speakership
2. Michael C. Kerr (Dec. 6, 1875 -- Aug. 19, 1876): died of consumption
3. Kevin McCarthy (Jan. 7, 2023 -- Oct. 3, 2023): vacated by own party

@anniebryson28
: Today, above the Big House, the DNC is flying a banner that reads:
“JD Vance ❤️ Ohio State + Project 2025."
The trolling of Vance, who graduated from OSU in ‘09, is one of four banners the DNC has at college football games today
#FunFact
According to a new poll, 28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, but only 4% of Boomers. At this rate, America will all be completely gay by 2054.
Trump: JD is not weird. We're not weird. We're other things perhaps, but we're not weird. Tim Walz called me weird… That was the word of the day. Weird, weird, weird. We're not weird guys
BREAKING:
@DrJillStein
- a useful idiot for Russia - will throw her support behind a group accused of acting as malign foreign agents of Putin’s government.
Stein is a spoiler. Propped up by the Kremlin in 2016 & propped up by the GOP now.
A vote for her is a vote for Trump.
America: Where even boneless wings are a political issue.
"Republicans on the court ruled that bones are a natural part of chicken so a consumer should be on guard for them − even in boneless wings."
"But Democrats on the court called that reasoning absurd."
A federal judge rules Georgia lawmakers “fully complied” with his order to redraw Georgia congressional and legislative maps to include more majority-Black districts, in a major victory for Georgia Republicans.
#gapol
Trump is reading his remarks from paper, not a prompter..As with most of his prepared remarks, it's delivered with the energy of a bus station announcer. He'll be ad libbing in a minute or two.
Good piece by
@Matt_D_Cohen
highlighting even more ties between Project 2025 and Donald Trump's Republican cronies, including some names voters in FLsen and TXsen might be interested in 👀👀👀
Project 2025 has input from dozens of prominent right-wing organizations and figures. So it’s a bit hard to believe that most Republicans aren’t familiar with the plan or who's behind it.
Here are 9 Republicans who have ties to the plan's leading group.
Remarkable confession by JD Vance this morning when he said he will “create stories” (that is, lie) to redirect the media.
All this to change the subject away from abortion rights, manufacturing jobs, taxation of the rich, and the other things clearly at stake in this election.
Maddow: President Biden showed a startlingly impressive command of the issues at his press conference. He is not only strong on foreign policy, he is just just fundamentally right on foreign policy in the way that he talks about it. It just shows you he is a master of the foreign
What’s on Trump’s mind this AM 10 weeks before the election?
@maureendowd
wrote that he called into Fox on Thursday to respond to Kamala Harris, but he says in this long post that Fox called him first.
Trump, per audio: “When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions and you have welfare And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote."
Sec. Hillary Clinton: VP Harris is a very practical person. She prosecuted criminals, put people in jail for violating the law and hurting other people. She comes from that tradition, she has a good moral compass. She is in a practical world, not one extreme or the other.
BREAKING: Colorado Supreme Court removes Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, ruling that his involvement in Jan. 6 disqualifies him from holding office again under the 14th Amendment. The case is expected to go to the Supreme Court.
Florida is charging formerly incarcerated people $50 a day even if they’re no longer in prison. The “pay to stay” fee is based on the length of the original sentence, so even when they're released they must keep paying for a prison bed they’re not using.
Tapper: Why not just jump at the opportunity to grill Hunter Biden on national Television?
Comer: This isn’t about politics
Tapper: *laughs*
Comer: I know the media would like to have a big public show
Tapper: Yes, it’s the me that wants the big public show
Oh what is this I am holding? Ah yes - Vice President

From tackling corporate price gouging, to addressing housing costs,
Big news! Michigan will soon be a state where all eligible 16 and 17 year olds can preregister to vote! We’ll be able to do more than ever before to educate and engage young voters. Thanks
@BetsyCoffia
for getting this done. 🎉
On another note, say hello to Arizona’s newest Senator
@RubenGallego
and the enshrining of a fundamental right to abortion into the AZ Constitution come November.
Fifth and *last* ruling from
#SCOTUS
is in Rahimi (Second Amendment case).
For an 8-1 majority, Chief Justice Roberts *reverses* Fifth Circuit and upholds federal ban on gun possession by those subject to domestic violence-related restraining orders:
Noble Co. is now fully reporting, and Rulli (R) only wins it by 28 pts over Kripchak (D). This is a county Trump won by 63 pts in 2020. As a whole,
#OH06
is Trump +29.
I'm starting to think
#OH06
(a special neither party paid attention to) is going to end up quite close.
