NY Times: As Kamala Harris Claims Oakland, Berkeley Forgives The vice president has virtually erased Berkeley, Calif., her hometown, from her campaign biography. The residents of “the People’s Republic” say they get it. New Republic Hails Kamala Harris as ‘Historic’ Figure Surpassing Kennedy, Obama Harris is “a completely different person than the one most of us had fixed in our mind” and is more than a “female Obama,” according to a glowing portrayal in the New Republic that suggests Harris even surpasses historical Democrat icon former President John F. Kennedy in significance. Grocer turned lawmaker torches Harris’ price control plan “If the Harris administration tells Procter & Gamble ... that this Tide right here that I’m selling today for $4.99 has to stay $4.99 for the next four years, what will happen is that Procter & Gamble will just simply choose not to make this product. And you will be living in Cuba or Venezuela.” Hill Dems try to tamp down backlash to Harris’ grocery price-gouging pitch In private, some lawmakers are telling voters and food industry officials her proposals will never pass through Congress. Bill Maher slams Harris avoiding journalists: ‘More insulting’ than Trump’s ‘enemy of the people’ jab Maher suggested Harris’ cold shoulder to the press is “more insulting” than Trump’s years-long verbal attacks against news organizations. For Tim Walz, a Pattern of Prevarications Stretches Back Almost Two Decades As a congressional candidate, Walz claimed he won an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. It wasn’t true. Dem Rep Says Harris Must Provide 'Real' Policy Proposals "Two things are going to happen: One, the honeymoon’s inevitably going to end, and two, the Republicans are going to figure out how to attack," Rep. Seth Moulton told Politico. |
In a rare bit of honesty, Pelosi reveals that she’s ‘reptilian’ Speaking to PBS, Pelosi appeared to admit that she is a lizard person, saying, “We are very discreet, reptilian, cold-blooded." Democrat Pollsters Warn They Could Be in Trouble: ‘Something’s Gonna Happen in 2024 ... Don’t Know What’ Democrat pollsters are warning that they could be in trouble, as their polling has been less reliable than usual in recent elections since Trump’s appeal is difficult to measure via surveys. James Carville on why Trump’s poll numbers are lulling Dems into a false sense of security Echoing many of the private concerns of Harris’ allies who feel the polls are a bit more “rosy” than the reality, Carville stressed on “Real Time with Bill Maher” that she will have to work harder to win the Electoral College. Cornel West can’t be on Pennsylvania’s presidential ballot, court decides Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer sided with the secretary of state’s office under Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro in rejecting West’s candidacy paperwork. Democrats get a third-party hopeful knocked off Pennsylvania ballot Democrats have won legal challenges keeping the left-wing Party for Socialism and Liberation off Pennsylvania's presidential ballot. Michigan judge overrules state decision to block Cornel West from state’s ballot Judge James Robert Redford wrote that Michigan’s secretary of state and the director of the Bureau of Elections “misapplied the law in finding otherwise.” Green Party ballot access case in Wisconsin will likely be decided Tuesday One of the lawyers challenging the effort from national Democrats to keep the Green Party off the Wisconsin ballot thinks the case could be decided in a matter of days. Jerry Nadler promises higher taxes for ‘rich white men’ if Democrats take Congress “Can we please this year — it’d be so brat — have a higher tax rate for rich white men?” McGloin asked a seated Nadler during an interview posted to YouTube Friday. “Well, if you have a Democratic Congress, we certainly will,” Nadler said.
