Kate Riga with clarity on next steps, via the Talking Points Memo Podcast:
Talking Point Memo's Josh Marshall is asking for help from US citizens in documenting town hall meetings in these united States:
"I’m trying to compile a list of all the town halls where GOP members of Congress got rocked by constituents this past week while they were on break. There are so many now that I can’t really write a whole post about each one. But I wanted to ask if you could send me links if there are examples where your member of Congress or Senator had a similar experience so I can add it to the list."

"This is the baseline of everything to do with social media. You can’t really keep up with the all the bad things people do within the business model. Period. End of story. " #JoshMarshall https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-economics-that-define-social-media ht @timbray
// it's an inherently destructive business model that only pencils because Section 230 is too categorical

A sad story of the decline of mental health secondary to(at the very least) war
Good stuff from Josh Marshall @ TPM - Keep it context and keep your eyes open.
“But not having a fancy Times or Politico columnist say it doesn’t make it any less so. Trump’s ability to just dictate isn’t quite panning out. And that matters”#JoshMarshall
I'm sharing this Josh Marshall Editorial. Any Dem not on board with this pardon can fuck right off and join the republicans.
Any republicans having a problem with this pardon can join weak Dems in fucking right off - they're bad faith actors who have not been honest in the past 9 years (if ever).

““And, if we're in a country where, you know, the people who get to pick the president want it to be Trump, there's just not much you can do about that.
I mean, I am, it makes me so sad, and it makes me kind of repulsed and disappointed and angry, but, I mean, I don't know if that's, if that's the way it is. You can't really go around arguing anymore. Oh, well, they didn't know, you know, they just knew him from TV.
People know, and a lot of people love it. And I think that's horrifying and something we're going to have to wrangle with”

“I’ve always been of the mind that the other guy being scary and dangerous is among the best reasons to vote. (In medicine, “first, do no harm” is seen as a pretty good general approach.)“

I listened to this podcast today: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/podcasts/the-josh-marshall-podcast/ep-345-the-case-for-optimism/
I always enjoy these because while Josh Marshall is a realist, he also talks about how optimism as a way of life rather than some sort of pollyannish/Mary Baker Eddy, "I'm just going to be positive and everything will be great" mentality, but rather it raises the possibilities for better outcomes.
It's also better for your mental health—we all have to pull together to win this.
238) #JoshMarshall reminds us that the growth of the #Haitian community in #Spingfield, #Ohio was a product of intended and affirmed local policy, NOT an undesired, unexpected and unwelcome influx of people from #Haiti
#Trump and #Vance want only a white America and want a return to 19th century #racism and its obsession with skin color, a madness that is a product of race-based #slavery

How Kamala Made Trump the Incumbent
It’s absurdly well written.

200) Why is the #KamalaHarris campaign working? Because it's sending clear directional signals about where she plans to take the country. Read the #JoshMarshall article below 
Meanwhile, the #GOP and #NewsMedia are grumbling about the lack of a detailed sitdown interview and policy specifics.
Marshall reminds us what campaigns are about - ensuring voters know where a candidate is taking a country.
194) #Trump has lost control of #Election2024 tempo. He’s being dominated by #kamalaharris and his various debate maneuvers have come to naught.
#JoshMarshall of #TPM has a good take on #DonaldTrump’s debate capitulation
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/kamala-dog-walked-trump-right-back-into-the-debate
Via #JoshMarshall of #TalkingPointsMemo
Sitting on a small but measurable lead for most of the last year has allowed #DonaldTrump to mostly coast all year w his standard road show. We've already seen evidence he no longer has the #stamina, fluidity or focus for a tougher kind of race.
Trump Clearly Losing It
#JoshMarshall of #TalkingPointsMemo analyzed Trump’s meltdown in Chicago this way:
“I think we’re getting the first view of imploding Donald #Trump as he realizes that what was his for the taking ten days ago is slipping away and he’s likely to go to prison rather than the White House.
He [is] being dominated and humiliated by #KamalaHarris and he’s losing it.”
“At the same time I think there were the first hints of a realization that this has been overwhelmingly a conversation among media and political elites without much focus or knowledge about anything average voters are thinking or doing. My point here isn’t that average voters are necessarily rising up in defense of Joe Biden. More that no one really has any idea what most voters are thinking. And of course there is no “average voter.” It’s a big country with lots of different kinds of people. My point is simply that the elite conversation had already arrived at a consensus and blown right past it without any real idea of what the rest of the country was thinking.”
