He couldn't come up with anything new for a closing statement?

I can't believe he's going to have to take another hour of this.

He's been practicing saying "Venezuela," it shows. Great job!

Now he looks like he knew she'd bring up the Republicans and former staff against him.

Donolf looks tired. He's barely moving. Kamala is animated and assertive.

"Trump abortion bans" -- good rhetoric from Kamala.

@TomBy My question too. I'm told it's customary. "Not for him," I say.

@estherschindler The smartest boss I ever had did weekly all-team meetings in a small room just before lunch, no table, no chairs, 30 minutes. You checked in briefly and moved on. Anything that needed more attention was noted for another more focused meeting.
Besides helping keep us all on the same page, the brief all-hands face time helped heal divisions and animosity between teams.

What is 988?

The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) offers free, 24/7 access to a counselor who is trained to support people experiencing mental health distress, suicidal, or substance use crises. Services are available in English, Spanish, or translation in over 250 languages.

@redenigma Sounds like the owner's got the prices just right. People complain and wait, they don't give up and go away. He doesn't have to pay them to complain and wait, they do that for free.

@tgraph52 Has any state's Secretary of State complained that non-citizens are sneaking into the voting booths?
Edit: Silly me, of course they have. If they're Republicans.

@Maude it's simple though nuanced. He's trying to appeal to Hispanics and Catholics at the same time, but not so transparently as to alienate white evangelicals.

The fifth congressional district of Kentucky, where the I-75 shooting has taken/is taking place, is represented by Republican Hal Rogers. Rogers has represented this region for 43 years and is the most senior representative in the House of Representatives. He has a 92% rating with the NRA.

@veggiescott He's in the Guinness Book of Records as the Most Modest, Self-effacing, and Humble Man in All of Human History.

Today is a good day to check that you're still registered to vote.

Although you may have registered in the past, several states have engaged in the practice of 'purging' their voter rolls of registered voters for various reasons, often erroneously removing legitimate, qualified voters.

Check your state's system to make sure your registration is up to date and your name and address are correct.
