Complaint alleges 3 MAGA-aligned state election bd members—Rick Jeffares, Janice Johnston, Janelle King—not fulfilling their duties as election officials & that their actions instd appear to "advance their own polit preferences"

"Trump gave a speech in Asheville, North Carolina, that was supposed to be about the economy. Before he could appear, Trump had to pay the city $82,247.60 in advance, with city officials...concerned about the candidate’s habit of skipping out on costs associated with his rallies. Once on stage, he tossed economic issues overboard and concentrated on personal attacks on Biden and Harris, along with stream-of-consciousness musings on tampons and socialism."

💊😷 Just did this legwork for a friend, and as it's Friday during a Covid surge & even people with doctors won't be able to raise them until Monday, here are ways to access Paxlovid in the US:

Hit up a telemedicine service for the prescription, e.g. https://hidrb.com/ ; https://www.plushcare.com/

Then head over to https://paxlovid.iassist.com/attestation and say you're uninsured/insurance won't cover, if needed. Feel free to add tips in replies.

An open message
to the stranger
who has accused me
of being a paid shill:
I, and my empty bank account,
regretfully wish to inform you
that unfortunately
there is no money
in asking people
to try to take care of each other.

"Like a toddler who has a tantrum, let them complain and bellow and fume, and then they will lose interest. They are attracted to shiny, loud objects, not substance, and by generating her own heat, Harris can do what’s best for the people, not the elites who ultimately do not care about our well-being at all."

Some of the economic positions #Harris has announced today:

- elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans
- ban on price gouging for groceries and food
- cap on prescription drug costs
- $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers
- child tax credit of $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life

KURSK OFFENSIVE /2230 UTC 15 AUG/ Ukraine offensive expands to greater than 1000 square KM. Russian surrenders continue.

I welcome the day when our government representatives agree to no longer provide our churches tax exempt status. They have abused that right and have gotten away with it far too long

Now Grandpa is campaigning FOR THE DEMOCRATS

Weird Man Trump is promising voters, if you vote for Kamala Harris everybody gets healthcare. I think at this point the Republican party should send nurses to go take grandpa for his nap?

And Democrats are yelling #LetTrumpBeTrump !!

Lessons learned: On day 10 of the #Kursk operation, #russia is still struggling to stabilize the front, while #Ukraine continues to advance. It is clear that Ukraine has incorporated many lessons from its previous counteroffensives and incursions.
