Just so those of you who support #Harris2024 are aware it's coming ...
Some media are dredging up an old Tim #Walz drunk driving arrest from 1995. His arrest photo is already making the rounds in social media.
You know #Trump and #MAGA are preparing to run ads with that photo. Presumably #Harris already has a plan for responding to it.
Walz has said that, since then, he's never had an alcoholic drink.
FYI for y'all, since you know it's coming.

Tornado warning for north Brevard County until 7:14 AM EDT. The track has it heading in the direction of Titusville and Mims.
A comment about today's stock market downturn ... These corrections happen all the time. It's been too good for too long. Some people panicked today and lost money because of it.
Most likely, wiser investors will buy up these cheaper stocks in the days ahead. The economy simply is too healthy to assume there's going to be a recession or worse.
In fact, many times these economic numbers get corrected in a month or two, and it turns out everything is okay.

Following up on his earliest tweet, Mark Kelly just posted this:
"Whether it was from my time in the Navy and at NASA, serving in the United States Senate, or visiting our troops overseas: I've learned that when your country asks you to serve, you always answer the call."
Strictly my speculation ... Mark Kelly just posted this on Zombie Twitter:
"My background is a bit different than most politicians. I spent my life serving in the Navy and at #NASA, where the mission always comes first. Now, my mission is serving Arizonans."
That last sentence has me wondering if he's out of the #Harris VP sweepstakes.
