The struggle for democracy persists as we come into the second half of 2023. As the year progresses, we face lies, corruption, and violence. And so the fight for America will continue as Senate Republicans strive to prevent Democrats from passing even the most popular measures under Biden’s presidency. While prices skyrocket across the country and our rights are put in jeopardy, Americans like you continue to fight for representation and push back against the rise of fascism. Despite the challenges facing the journalism industry these days, we’ve been fortunate to have a loyal reader base and to be able…
Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, on Sunday expressed confidence in Georgia’s election security, a contrast with Trump’s recent attacks against Republican state officials Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.During an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Vance was pressed on how comfortable he is with the progress being made by the Republican National Committee and Republican-led states to ensure a fair election in November as Trump continues to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.Vance pointed to Georgia’s voter ID requirements, which he said makes the battleground state’s elections “much…
Boosted by Democrats, younger and Black voters becoming more engaged and likely to vote, and by women decidedly thinking she’d favor their interests more, Vice President Kamala Harris has reset the 2024 presidential race. She has a 1-point edge nationally — something President Biden never had (he was down by 5 points when he left the race) — and Harris and former President Donald Trump are tied across the collective battleground states. Looking ahead, voters are also defining why the next few weeks could be critical. On one hand, Harris has additional edges with the wider electorate that Mr. Biden did not:…
The Harris campaign on Sunday laid out its plan for winning over Republicans in an effort to mobilize swing-state voters who cast ballots for former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley — but the effort is not without its hurdles, according to a source familiar with the campaign’s Republican outreach efforts.The campaign is tapping state political directors to lead outreach to Republicans in their regions, the source told NBC News. However, the source said the campaign is having a difficult time locking in support from certain state leadership teams to head GOP outreach.“That’s the dream of theirs, but I don’t actually…
Aug. 4, 2024 3 AM PT To the editor: Let’s be clear that Vice President Kamala Harris is a member of the fastest growing demographic group in our country — mixed-race. She and others defy the very antiquated practice of creating artificial “types” out of what is really continuous human variation. (“Trump offended his Black audience. Mistake or part of the plan?” column, Aug. 1)Former President Trump’s comments at the National Assn. of Black Journalists conference also imply that people from minorities gain a questionable advantage as a result of their identity. One more time we see his ignorance on…
CNN — JD Vance’s Republican colleagues in the Senate say they’re largely sticking with the Ohio freshman – despite newly resurfaced comments facing criticism – warning that Vance represents where Republican see their voters moving. In the weeks since becoming Donald Trump’s chosen running mate, Vance has found himself caught in the middle of major test for a shifting Republican Party: Can a young lawmaker who represents the most populist voices in the party actually catapult Republicans to victory? Or are he and his message still a liability that could cost Trump the White House? Since he was tapped as Trump’s running mate, Vance’s stumbles and past…

Former President Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday just days after the massive prisoner exchange between the U.S., Russia and other Western nations.“By the way, I would like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for having made yet another great deal. Did you see the deal we made?” said the Republican nominee at a campaign rally in Atlanta.The historic prisoner swap — the largest such exchange involving the U.S. and Russia since the Cold War — saw 16 people including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich being released from Russian custody.It’s been described as a massivewin for President Joe…
Weird? As contemporary insults go, it feels fairly survivable. In fact, when compared with boomer, bigot, karen, gammon and hag – key concepts in much progressive civic discourse – weird is practically, in ascribing individuality to the targeted person, a compliment. Which when applied to a tech prodigy, weird usually is.But vagueness about the exact offensiveness of weird is probably one reason this demi-slur is currently considered, by senior Democrats and a host of US commentators, to be the perfect, supremely effective response to the much cruder attacks on Kamala Harris now emanating from Donald Trump and his deputy. For…
Former President Trump called out Vice President Kamala Harris’ record as a prosecutor during his rally in Atlanta. Trump said that Harris, who served as a prosecutor before entering politics, “wouldn’t arrest criminals,” while she served as District Attorney of San Francisco and Attorney General of California.”She wouldn’t arrest criminals of the worst kind,” Trump claimed. “She wouldn’t arrest murderers. She wouldn’t arrest anybody. The state has gone to hell.”The Republican candidate then referenced Gov. Gavin Newsom, who he called Gavin “Newscum”.”Gavin Newscum is the worst. One of the worst…but she was the one that started it,” Trump said. “She…
