- Replying to @evamckendWalz says rights "are not like a damn pie," "there is enough for everybody" "Imagine Donald Trump waking up after Kamala Harris beats him in this election"
00:00 - I’m in the room. People gasped.Donald Trump on whether Kamala Harris is a "DEI hire," as some Republicans have said: "She happened to turn Black. ... She was Indian all the way and all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black woman."
- On @IlhanMN, @RepJohnYarmuth, who is Jewish, says "A lot of my colleagues overreacted to her remarks." I asked him why he thinks he wasn't named in censure resolution, though he's been similarly critical of #Israel. "I'm neither Black, nor female, nor a #Muslim." #IlhanOmar
00:00 - There is disagreement among union members about the Teamsters decision to withhold an endorsement. The head of the union's Black Caucus tells me, “Any labor leader thinking that Donald Trump is the candidate of choice should turn their union card in." cnn.com/politics/live-…
- Gov. Walz on trail stumping for Harris. Posting a few of his remarks that stuck out to me. "These guys are just weird," he said before calling Trump/Vance "a threat to democracy" who will put people in danger. He said Trump is going to have his "ass handed to him" in Minnesota.

- 🧵🧵🧵I spent the day at the AKA convention in Dallas where VP Harris spoke and I am still hard pressed to find a Black voter who thinks it’s a good idea to push President Biden off the ticket even people who are mega fans of Harris. I am just not hearing this from Black voters.
- Replying to @evamckend"Let's quit 2 year elections and go to 100 days of butt whipping," says Walz. "We don't even have to sleep. We can sleep when we are dead." He says Democrats will expand universal meals and health care access, move towards a clean energy economy
00:00 - I'm struck by the criticism that progressivism is to blame for Harris' loss.. As someone who covered the Harris campaign day in and day out for months, she was not running as a progressive, not on immigration, not on climate, etc. She ran as a centrist, consensus driven
- McConnell: "The biggest lie being told in American politics...has been that the states are involved in a systematic effort to suppress the vote." In 43 states, Republican state lawmakers have proposed at least 250 laws to limit voting, according to Brennan Center for Justice
