It seems that Elon Musk is trying to shut down as many Twitter accounts supporting Kamala Harris as possible. I just received a warning that I violated Twitter's policy, and if it happens again, my account will be permanently suspended.
Interesting that two of the most important people manipulating American policy are a South African and an Australian.
Fodder for changing certain rules about foreigners owning companies in a given country?

Ironically way back when Murdoch was angling to enter the US market there were those who raised this very issue. Needless to say they were labeled as oddball anti-capitalist cranks. And yet here we are with an Australian owning the Wall Street Journal, his minions in charge of the Washington Post, and said Australian being enmeshed in other media enterprises.

Whose decision was it to bypass the nonpartisan commission that normally schedules debates?! Now Dems should not complain because it has become a free-for-all tumble...Biden wanted to pull the trigger, and shot himself

JD Vance intentionally skipped the Senate vote on an expanded child tax credit...you know, a policy that would have benefited 16 million children...

Doesn't sound all that inspiring, but I imagine no harm either.

I think this is as strong a ticket as the Dems get. I'm finally a bit hopeful for this country.

Just my opinion but this is what put him in the drivers seat. He's an excellent choice.

Walz championed girls having access to feminine products in high schools so the right is calling him "Tampon Tim".

I guess that's the best they got.
