Elon #Musk, the world’s richest man and a linchpin of #US space efforts, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir #Putin since late 2022.

At one point, Putin asked the billionaire to avoid activating his #Starlink satellite internet service over #Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request.

@kevindalley @lauren Scarily, the fate of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 rests in the hands of #Republicans. 😱

I pray #Republican women will vote for #KamalaHarris in #Georgia, #NorthCarolna & #Pennsylvania.

#DonaldTrump will win most of the Southeast (where I live), so my vote against him is irrelevant.

Due to the Electoral College, it statistically will not matter if I vote for #Kamala, as #GOP voters outnumber #Democrats & other political parties combined. 😞

That’s because in the next 3 months, the justices may be asked to inject themselves into the late stages of the #2024election. If presented w/such an opportunity, this could be the term that #SCOTUS elects Donald #Trump.

4 yrs ago, Trump & his allies attempted to overturn his 2020 loss from the WH, while his allies controlled legislatures in the critical states of PA, WI, AZ, & GA, as well as key institutions like the #Wisconsin#SupremeCourt.

#Trump’s #coup failed not because he & his allies lacked #power, but because President Joe #Biden’s margin of victory was big enough that some allies—including his own AG & most #Senate#Republicans—refused to use that power to illegally keep Trump in office. This year, Trump does not hold as many levers of power. But a faction of his political coalition, the #GOP-appointed 6-3 majority on #SCOTUS, controls one of the most important.

#TheLincolnProject dropped a new ad this morning entitled "First Day of School" that focuses on Republicans voting for #KamalaHarris and encouraging others to do the same... "Because your kids are watching..." #election2024#HarrisWalz2024 #uspol #uspolitics#RepublicansForHarris#GOP

"Poll: Newly popular Harris builds momentum, challenging Trump for the mantle of change
The latest NBC News national poll shows Harris leading Trump 49%-44%, within the margin of error, while Trump holds advantages on the economy, inflation and the border."

#Trump has issued yet another ominous warning about his potential 2nd term, this time promising a "bloody story" for the millions of #immigrants he intends to #deport.

He made the comments at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Sat, echoing the broader RNC’s 2024 platform. The #GOP's plans for US after a Trump victory include aggressive #immigration enforcement & #MassDeportations.

A fmr aide to Rep #DonBacon, a #Nebraska#Republican, said she intervened on the company’s behalf even though she thought it was #inappropriate. “It was specifically the congressman that suggested I needed to deal with it.”

>200 #Republicans who previously worked for fmr Pres George W #Bush, the late Sen John #McCain, or Sen Mitt #Romney, endorsed VP #KamalaHarris for president in an open letter Mon obtained by USA TODAY.

The letter from alums of the 3 #Republican pres nominees prior to #Trump comes on the heels of a DNC last wk in Chicago that showcased Republican detractors of the #GOP nom. ≥5 fmr aides to fmr Pres George HW Bush also signed the letter, which has 238 signatures in all.

#Trump continues to insist, on a daily [hourly] basis, that MVP #KamalaHarris is a radical communist hellbent on destroying the American way of life.

& that’s against the backdrop of hundreds of #Republicans, who’ve held public office &/or served in #GOP admins, who keep coming forward to effectively remind the electorate just how wrong the former president’s attacks are.

MAGA COUNTY CLERK CONVICTED

Please spread the word.

The more news this kind of thing makes, the harder it will be for the #GOP to steal the 2024 #election by installing corrupt cult members at the local level.

MAGA County Clerk Convicted

Tina Peters used to be the County Clerk of Mesa County, CO. During her 4- year term in that office, she became a hardcore election-denier, despite the fact that SHE was the one responsible for overseeing elections. As part of her "stop the steal" campaign, she helped a person affiliated with the MyPillow guy to fraudulently gain access to the county's Dominion-Voting-Systems- manufactured voting machines. No actual votes were affected, but the information collected was used to "prove" that DVS machines are unreliable.

Peters was investigated and put on trial, and yesterday, she was convicted of a bunch of crimes, including three felonies: three counts of attempting to influence a public servant (those are the felonies), one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state.

Peters will be sentenced on Oct. 3; she faces up to 22.5 years in prison '

#Democrats flip #SocialMedia * #censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP
#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.

#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” * #conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

Now #Democrats are turning that complaint around, questioning whether #GOP ally #ElonMusk’s #X is suppressing #content favoring MVP #KamalaHarris to help #Trump’s reelection bid.
On Mon, Rep #JerryNadler (D) called on House #Judiciary Chair #GymJordan (R) to “investigate political censorship” on X, citing the company’s #chatbot, #Grok, falsely telling users #Harris was ineligible to appear on the 2024 ballot.

Choosing MN Gov #TimWalz as her running mate reinforces the move away from clichés about “coastal politics” & “cultural elites.” Instead, she wants to fight on specific, #practical measures #government can take to #ImproveLives, from #FamilyLeave to expansions of #HealthCoverage. Both #Harris & #Walz are speaking a #soothing& — to pick up on #Democrats’ favorite #virtue these days — #joyful language of #patriotism & national #unity.
#HumanRights#Fight4AFuture#WeAreNotGoingBack#HarrisWalz2024
You could tell the #Trump campaign was thrown off by the #Walz pick when the #GOP’s VP pick, #JDVance, attacked the #camo-wearing, #gun-owning, #smalltown#Midwestern #schoolteacher as a “#SanFrancisco-style #liberal.”
Never mind that #Vance lived in the #BayArea for about 4yrs while Minnesota’s Walz visited the place for the 1st time only last month. The tired misfire speaks to how dependent the GOP is on stereotypes about who “ #liberals” are & what “ #liberalism” means.
