Team Trump taking lumps.

 Back when, it was immigration going the other way, we call that land we took "Texas."

And then:

Yale Law School Snubs J.D. Vance–But Does Mention Taylor Swift

 Taylor Swift's complete endorsement text:


Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,

Taylor Swift

Get out the vote, a fine way to close an endorsement.

Now if John Mayer only endorses  . . .

In any event, opening of the event, Harris introducing herself, shaking hands, and being clear on how you pronounce the first name, Donald.

Last, those entertainer endorsements, it helps to have a Hollywood lawyer in the family. 

.................................................

Hunter took a plea, and Joe is running the nation while the campaign hums. It's not about Joe anymore, and Trump now is older than Reagan when he first ran. And failing. In disarray.

But it is still early. Trump will have to craft a newer less-vengeful message, cat ladies have their say, Leonard Leo would like a shot at more judiciary influence but may not get it, and GOTV always is the name of the game.

In the meantime, read a little here and there, Project 2025. It's lengthy and turgid, but you can start at p562.

Announcing a Campaign to Enforce the Criminal Prohibitions in 18 U.S. Code §§ 1461 and 1462 Against Providers and Distributors of Abortion Pills That Use the Mail. Federal law prohibits mailing “[e]very article, instrument, substance, drug, medicine, or thing which is advertised or described in a manner calculated to lead another to use or apply it for producing abortion.”75 Following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, there is now no federal prohibition on the enforcement of this statute. The Department of Justice in the next conservative Administration should therefore announce its intent to enforce federal law against providers and distributors of such pills.

There are gems like that throughout the text.

 Auctung! Or possibly be surprised. Trump and Project 2025 could win.
