<\/a>Election 2024<\/h1>\n
\nWhat we know about the episode and the suspect.<\/p>\n
\nFormer President Donald Trump lashed out at Nasdaq over a routine trading halt in shares of his social media company and even threatened to move the listing to the New York Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n
\nThe GOP appears on track to flip the Senate red, but many candidates are struggling in battleground states.<\/p>\n
\nFormer President Donald Trump on Monday is expected to announce the debut of a new cryptocurrency platform called World Liberty Financial that will be controlled by sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.<\/p>\n
\nSheriff Bruce D. Zuchowski, who took office in 2021, made the remarks in Facebook posts shared to two separate accounts on the night of Sept. 13.<\/p>\n
\nOn the menu today: An experiment. Today, I’ll present the arguments for why Trump appears to have the advantage as we approach the last weeks of the 2024 campaign. Tomorrow \u2014 barring some breaking news that is more important \u2014 I’ll present the arguments for why Harris appears to have the advantage. Everybody who loves today’s newsletter is going to hate tomorrow’s edition, and vice versa. Plus, some reassuring words from Ohio governor Mike DeWine, and a point about why leaving certain other countries alone is not an option.<\/p>\n
\nThe election director in Cobb County, an Atlanta suburb where votes will be fiercely contested in this year’s presidential race, recently organized a five-hour training session. The focus wasn\u2019t solely on the nuts-and-bolts of running this year\u2019s election. Instead, it brought together election staff and law enforcement to strategize on how to keep workers safe and the process of voting and ballot-counting secure.<\/p>\n
\nThe pro-Trump group America PAC, which was founded by the billionaire Elon Musk, has cut ties with a canvassing firm in two battleground states, just seven weeks before Election Day.<\/p>\n
\nLet us complete the analysis and tell Republicans what they don’t want to hear: There are compelling reasons to think Kamala Harris will be the 47th president.<\/p>\n
\n“I will turn it around, get SALT back, lower your Taxes, and so much more!” Republican nominee Donald Trump declared on Truth Social Tuesday. He’s probably really irked at the guy who signed the $10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions into law, which was\u2026 er, Donald Trump, back in 2017.<\/p>\n
\nThe Teamsters promised “the most inclusive, democratic, and transparent Presidential endorsement process in the history of our 121-year-old organization.” Yet, after Donald Trump won not one, but two polls of Teamsters membership with 59.6 percent and 58 percent of the vote, the Teamsters announced that they will not be endorsing anyone for president.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s Oprah Winfreyism, writ large.<\/p>\n
\nFormer President Donald Trump forgot that there was no audience at his presidential debate last week with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying the nonexistent entity went “crazy.”<\/p>\n
\nMy phone is blowing up today with calls and texts from Republican sources in North Carolina who are waiting with bated breath about a huge story CNN is reportedly about to drop on this year’s gubernatorial nominee, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s Oprah Winfreyism, writ large.<\/p>\n
\nEvery day, more and more people are signing up to help knock on doors and make phone calls for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, a Las Vegas union official said.<\/p>\n
\n“This is Springfield, Ohio on a late Saturday afternoon. Springfield in the last calm and reflective moment \u2013 before the monsters came.”<\/p>\n
\nMark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina,\u00a0made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.<\/p>\n
\nThree things are at stake in every election: the future direction of the country and the future direction of each of the two major parties. For Republicans, the unprecedented third straight general election with Donald Trump at the top of the ticket is, or should be, the end of a line. If Trump wins, the 22nd Amendment precludes him from running again, and his ego would likely be sated, although he’s unlikely to be done trying to play kingmaker. If he loses, he\u2019ll be 82 in 2028, and the party may yet have to consider whether it is willing to take this ride again. Either way, it will be time enough to reckon on whether the Republican future after Trump himself is Trumpy.<\/p>\n
\nOn the menu today: Examining the likely consequences of the embarrassing scandals of Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, remembering that GOP primary voters\u2019 habit of picking terrible candidates predates Donald Trump’s arrival in the world of politics, and contemplating three reactions to Nancy Pelosi’s recent insistence that “Joe Biden is the most consequential president of modern times.”<\/p>\n
\nThe GOP’s hopes for doing more than just barely retaking the Senate are looking grim.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s not a well-kept secret, but it is a truth that partisans on either end of the political spectrum dare not acknowledge: Kamala Harris’s wholesale makeover is aimed at convincing voters she’s not the woman of the Left she once made herself out to be. For now, Democrats are letting her get away with it. They know that the presidential race is a dead heat, and they’re not inclined to make demands of Harris until she can deliver the goods. Republicans can also be counted on to keep this observation to themselves. Their theory of the case against Harris is that the years she spent crafting a reputation for herself as a doctrinaire progressive is her biggest liability. But the fact is that Harris is running to the right of her own record because she’s trying to meet the median voter where he lives.<\/p>\n
\nWith more than a month to go before the November 5 presidential election, some Americans are already lining up to cast their ballots in this tightly contested race.<\/p>\n
\nNeither candidate seems willing to acknowledge the world as it is<\/p>\n
\n‘This beautiful, limited-edition coin commemorates our movement, our fight for freedom, prosperity, and putting America first,’ the former president says<\/p>\n
\nRepublican activists in swing states say they have seen little sign of the teams tasked with knocking on doors and turning out infrequent voters on behalf of Donald Trump, raising concerns about the party\u2019s presidential nominee relying on outside groups for an important part of his campaign operations.<\/p>\n<\/a>Abortion<\/h1>\n
Dobbs Decision<\/h2>\n
\nKamala Harris is going to Georgia tomorrow to promote abortion. Press reports indicate that Harris will claim women are dying because pro-life laws “needlessly deny women reproductive healthcare,” meaning abortion on demand. She will reportedly cite two tragic cases of women who died after Georgia’s heartbeat law took effect.<\/p>\n
\nThe U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, issued a mandate on Sept. 20, shutting off efforts by the Minnesota Attorney General\u2019s office to preserve Minnesota’s law banning firearm carry for those between the ages of 18 and 20 years old.<\/p>\n<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nAn engineer who spent decades designing weapons for one of the world’s leading gun manufacturers testified Tuesday that the assault-style weapons now banned in Illinois are intended only for civilian use and cannot be easily converted into military-grade firearms.<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &<\/a>“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nThe nature-rights movement continues to advance, and that’s bad for human thriving. Now, a “tribunal” will be held in New York \u2014 coinciding with Climate Week NYC 2024 \u2014 to promote the rights of nature and undermine public support for fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nAnother challenge to the Affordable Care Act is poised to head to the US Supreme Court after the US Department of Health and Human Services asked the justices Thursday to review a decision that partially invalidated an insurance mandate for preventive health services recommended by an advisory board.<\/p>\n
\nSuprise! Governor John Carney has vetoed legislation that barely passed in Delaware that would have legalized assisted suicide. <\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nYesterday evening, Major General Christian Freuding who is currently in Kyiv, gave his assessment of the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region and the use of standoff weapons on Russian territory on ZDF heute journal. <\/p>\n\n
