I love that Pete Buttigieg was thanked by the union for his work on helping to avert an ongoing strike that could have helped some nut getting elected in November. Damn, Pete's good at what he does. Bright future for that guy.

One non-answer that spoke volumes. Lawrence O'Donnell quote: "JD Vance is the first Vice Presidential candidate that does not know who won the last election. JD refused to answer that question.

Just watched VP Harris' talk on economics. Wow, she just gets stronger every day. Her plans are optimistic and based on building the working middle class and small business outward to grow the economy. Given the opportunity, she's going to be a great President. The huge stark difference between her vision and her opponent's was remarkable.

What is it with right wing extremists and dogs? Are the Trump and Vance claims just more projection?

Creepy and very weird. Vote.

They're not running a campaign to get individual votes from Americans. They don't want you to vote and they'll suppress it any way they can. Republicans are perverting our elections. If the Democrats can overcome this treachery (House and Senate) they need to start playing hardball with how our elections are run. We need to begin seeing that Party that is fine with disenfranchising voters every step of the way. The Electoral College needs to go.

A great history-based look at the Electoral College by Dr. Richardson. It's important that we all understand what this means. Our elections have become instruments of giving more power to a candidate that isn't popularly elected. It's time for a change so that everyone's vote counts equally.

I'm not a huge Oprah Winfrey fan but I watched last night's gathering on YouTube. Kamala Harris continues to grow as a candidate every time I see her. The production of this town hall was stunning.

Trump continues to attempt to undermine the very country he's asking voters to allow him to run. Such a dangerous, self-serving man. The Republican party has been put into a position to hate the very country they wish to govern.

Is this the worst House we've ever had? In our lifetimes, absolutely. How anyone can vote for this party again is beyond me.
"In lieu of consequential legislating, they passed bills such as the Refrigerator Freedom Act, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act and the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards (SUDS) Act."
