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.

Reading this shit about Threads but I didn't expect to start laughing at this hilarious shit.
Better, says Michael Firth, to have a single empire run by a single sadmin with a grudge to bear.
"...some Mastodon server operators have preemptively blocked Threads, so their users can't interact with the Meta-run social network and vice versa."
And that is why Twitter/X will never be topped. There are too many little empires run by sadmins with a grudge to bear.][6] ([remote][7])

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.

While millions more struggled to remember who Gabbard was, those who could place her were irate that Donald J. Trump had chosen to jog their memory in such a brutal manner.”
