JD Vance's "fact of life" comment has me thinking of this old George Carlin quote "Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own."

VP Harris is doing interviews. You just need to know that not all of them have to be on the 3 cable news stations. Local Spanish-language media counts.

Harris campaign: “Yesterday, Vice President Harris said ‘it doesn’t have to be this way’ in response to another senseless school shooting. Donald Trump and JD Vance think school shootings are a ‘fact of life’ and ‘we have to get over it.’ ... That is the choice in this election.”

I don't know what to make of people saying that Nate Silver is funded by Peter Thiel so you can't trust him (He's an adviser for the prediction market Polymarket, which Thiel funds), but I will say that I do not understand Silver's current predictions and will be ignoring them

Trump starts his New York press conference today by saying that the DOJ's recent Russia indictments, which reveal how MAGA influencers were duped into being part of the Kremlin's propaganda campaign, is "a scam."

Ballots are going out for the first time soon (in North Carolina), and Trump is currently holding a press conference going into great detail about sexual assault allegations and findings against him.
