Yes, it is up to the Washington Post humor columnist to now cast a presidential endorsement https://wapo.st/4f2ECo0 (gift article)
NPR did a story on the Washington Post subscription cancellations here: https://www.npr.org/2024/10/28/nx-s1-5168416/washington-post-bezos-endorsement-president-cancellations-resignations
The Washington Post has lost 200,000 subscribers since Bezos pulled the Harris endorsement. That's 8% of its base in just a few days.

Scott Lloyd, former director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, received this criticism for his role in Trump policy that pulled more than 5,000 children from their families — 1,400 of whom remain separated, according to Errol Morris' documentary "Separated." Lloyd is describedd as “the most prolific child abuser in modern American history.” Despite its extreme relevance amid the 2024 presidential election, MSNBC decided to delay airing until to avoid offending Trump

That's the sound of a Chopin waltz that was unearthed after nearly 200 years. Here's the story of how an unknown work in the composer’s hand was discovered in a New York museum, the first such find in more than half a century. https://nyti.ms/3NG3iGP

David Folkenflik:: More than 200,000 subscribers have canceled their digital subscriptions to the Washington Post after the revelation that owner Jeff Bezos blocked an endorsement of VP Harris.
That's about 8 percent of WaPo's subscriber base - a staggering sum.

This is Michelle Obama's full speech (40 min) given at the Kamala Harris rally. It's an amazing speech.

The Trump campaign now says the comment by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” doesn’t reflect Trump’s views.
“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump senior adviser Danielle Alvarez says.
The problem is that all speeches are approved in advance, so once again, this is utter bullshit.
Like I said, that Klan rally at MSG will likely have a huge impact on the Florida Senate race. Here’s Sen. Rick Scott’s fix-it tweet.
My response to Washington Post editor Will Lewis for his lame defense of not making a presidential endorsement:
New statement from Post publisher Will Lewis: "The decision to end presidential endorsements was made entirely internally and neither campaign nor candidate was given a heads up or consulted in any way at any level. Any reporting to the contrary is simply incorrect."
Utter baloney.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Trump campaign has gone full Nazi, and this is now a turnout election. There is no middle ground. The GOP doesn't GAF about anybody but the base.

Comments on the MSG rally:
"This is the rally you hold when you're going to do a coup and want people riled up and bloodthirsty.
"They might as well hand out guns or nooses to attendees on the way out."
"By any logical metric that rally wasn’t expanding the voting base."
"I don’t think the Trump campaign is trying to get the most votes."
No shit, Sherlock.

there’s an online comic that explains the dangers of Project 2025.
for most people may be hard to digest a 920-page document so top creators in the comics industry launched Stop Project 2025, a free website featuring “highlights”from the plan in comics form!

Also, Fun Fact -
Puerto Ricans disproportionately serve in the US Military.
