This clip from Lincoln Project reminds me of the teenager who was receiving coupons for baby items, based on her shopping habits (“Target knew his daughter better than her father did,” from 2012). If Trump and his Christo-Fascists get into office, this is our future. A vote for #HarrisWalz is a vote for bodily autonomy.

- A photo of Donald Trump with a portion of an editorial piece written by Mark Antonio Wright, executive editor of the American conservative magazine, The National Review. “Trump isn’t losing because Kamala Harris is being hyped by the press and fluffed up to kingdom come. He isn’t losing because the press is being unfair to him. He’s losing because he’s a weak, unpopular, undisciplined candidate running at the head of a weak, minority electoral coalition. That’s the truth, whether anyone wants to hear it.” (remote)

Trump claims he will “make home ownership attainable for average Americans.”
How?
Kamala Harris has a policy plan for this. Trump does not.
The Biden-Harris Admin is also suing to stop price-fixing by shady landlords.
Trump IS a shady landlord.

FOX NEWS 🗞️: “Arizona and Nevada will have ballot initiatives on abortion rights this November. The surveys show three-quarters of voters in each state will vote yes. That includes at least half of Republicans (50% in Arizona and 54% in Nevada). Among the only ones against the initiatives are self-defined ‘very’ conservative.”

President #Biden just announced his 54th round of nominees for federal judicial positions — bringing the number of announced federal judicial nominees to 257.

the emphasis on "retail politics" by Harris/Walz is in marked contrast to the "wholesale" approach of Trump/Vance, and I think Harris is making the right choice of focus.
Mastodon Feedjsonstein@masto.deoan.org ("Jeff Sonstein") wrote:
the RNC is focused on preparing to attack election results, while the DNC is focused on get-out-the-vote. Trump continues to focus on doing large events with friendly crowds, while Harris & Walz shift to doing appearances at high schools in places like Hinesville GA (home of Ft Swampy). Trump is training up 18k "super volunteers" to contact folks, while Harris picked up 180k new volunteers in one day.
I think the Trump electioneering boat is beginning to founder on shoals of rationality.

""Harris is up by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead by 1 point in North Carolina. All are within the margin of sampling error," Fox News reported.
That's a marked change since past surveys by the outlet showed Biden trailing Trump in each of the states by 5 or 6 points."

It is worth noting, too, that the primary policy directive governing how federal agencies build and manage digital services and websites (OMB Memo M-23-22) includes provisions which specifically direct agencies to optimize web site performance, and to consider users on older devices and who have suboptimal bandwidth.
So the policy foundation for improvements exists, now to get agencies to adhere to it.

What does it do? No way to know. It's a total black box. You don't get actual control over the highs and lows or anything like that.
You just get a vague little slider that performs some unknown function, because you can't handle the truth, you simpleton.
