I wonder why news media think they should do live TV interviews of 16 yo students who've just lived through a shooting in the classroom next to them.
They build up feelings of notoriety and fame in them which is completely inappropriate and unnecessary. Worse, it's unhealthy.
The police will interview these kids. TV reporters should stick to the hard, factual news.
What am I thinking? I know why they do it. And it's WRONG.
Guess what, WashPo?
Neither of these two people are REAL Democrats. (sshhhh .. pass the word)

The team behind this convention had to pull it together in under 4 weeks after EVERYTHING changed overnight.
All the plans they had were out the window. And they pulled it off. Perfectly.
This is the kind of competent people Kamala has on her side on on her team.
That other guys 'team'? Pffft. Ass-kissing comedians.
Far-right influencers turn against Trump camp
#politics *Trouble in paradise
@RpsAgainstTrump
Just in the last 48 hours, Trump:
-Insulted Medal of Honor recipients
-Said he wants to be "friendly" with Iran
-Boasted about how he gets along with dictators
-Lost track of what state he was in
-Said he's "better looking" than VP Harris
-Said climate change is good because it will give us more beachfront property.
-Repeated the lie that he won the 2020 election
-Mocked and mispronounced the names of journalists
Dear Republicans, it's not too late to get off the Trump train.
@LnzyHou Thank you Lindsay. 🙏
I wish everyone who is so excited to vote for Harris/Walz understood that just electing them is not enough.
If we want things to change, we absolutely *must* elect a House and Senate who are prepared and able to support their platform with actual legislation, and perhaps, just perhaps, enough Senators to actually impeach that corrupt asshole Clarence Thomas and define ethics for the justices.
I know most of us here do, but I fear that too many do not.
Press Must Cover Trump’s Cognitive Decline
This isn't hard

I can't find the original post where I got this link (I wanted to boost it!), but it's definitely worth a read. David Rothkopf: This is Not Just a Campaign, It's a Movement

My whole adult life, I've enjoyed the privilege of being a voter.
During those years there were qualities that would instantly disqualify a candidate. For example:
Criminal
Immoral
Racist
Incompetent
Ignorant
Dishonest
Unlikeable
Any one of these would be disqualifying.
But #Trump checks them all.
How is this man not run out of the politics and locked in jail?

Asheville is vibrating 💫
Preparations underway for 🍊 rally and protest
Took these shots this AM as they shutdown our town. Secret service in our Roof Garden as direct line of sight to venue & protestors
Must have stirred up interest with SS taking photos. One of them followed me for a couple blocks on my walk.
Police have advised our managers to leave by 2 pm tomorrow or they will have to stay until Thursday. They have also advised protesters are coming in buses
Excited 💥
It's so frustrating to see the MSM still insisting on covering Trump as a normal candidate/politician.
I'm not a psychiatrist, but I think you and I can recognize an obviously sick man.
The American Psychiatric Association’s "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", defines the symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
And #trump obviously hits them all.
Everything he does is predictable.
