“…Events with Liz Cheney provide Harris a way to get out of an ethical dilemma. As Vice President, she should not discuss pending Federal cases against a criminal defendant, including the January 6 case charged against Trump. But Liz Cheney can. And Cheney happens to be an expert. In the events she did and is doing and still will do with Harris today, Cheney prosecuted the January 6 case against Donald Trump. And as she described how Trump sat, doing nothing, as his supporters attacked Congress, one of the people behind the women nodded vigorously.

But I also realized, as I watched the Michigan version of these events today, that Harris and Cheney are also modeling democracy. They are giving people — women who are my age and Cheney’s age and moderator Maria Shriver’s age are the primary but by no means the only target — what they want: a democracy where people talk to one another.

That is, these events, at their most ambitious, are about giving people a reason to defend democracy.”

Former Georgia GOP lieutenant governor encourages Republicans to vote for Harris in sprint to election

Geoff Duncan, a Republican and former Georgia lieutenant governor, is making a final push to convince swing state voters in his party to vote for Kamala Harris.

He said he and other Republican officials who are backing Harris are “truly, genuinely embarrassed every time (Trump) sees a microphone or a camera... — he’s a fraud.”

Trump’s rhetoric is dangerous, but the media isn't calling it out enough. His incoherent speeches are often dismissed, but they reveal a serious decline in his capacity to lead. This isn't a joke; it's a warning sign of a looming authoritarian threat. If reelected, the danger to democracy will only escalate.

@GreenFire I like it, except for the fact that you wouldn’t have a chance of your birthday falling on a weekend if you weren’t born on the weekend. Imagine always having your birthday on a Tuesday…. @breedlov

@breedlov That doesn’t explain it either. The week starts on Monday.

In Maricopa County, votes will be counted with drones overhead and police snipers standing ready. Election workers have gone through active-shooter drills and learned to barricade themselves or wield fire hoses to repel armed mobs.
