Donald #Trump and #JDVance nowhere to be seen on Labor Day
Taylor Popielarz:
The presidential campaign schedule on this Labor Day:
• #Harris will visit MI and PA
• #Biden will join Harris in PA
• Tim #Walz & Gwen Walz will visit MN and WI
• Douglas #Emhoff will visit VA
• Trump and JDVance don't have any public events scheduled
#Biden, #Harris push scrutiny of #police. #Trump would halt such efforts
Trump is vowing to end the Biden admin’s wide-reaching efforts to curb abusive policing, promising if he returns to the WH to rein in federal #oversight of local #LawEnforcement & empower officers to aggressively “clean up” American cities.

600,000 children of #Gaza will receive a polio vaccine, before #Isreal blows their little bodies to pieces with #US taxpayer funded weapons, or just simply starved to death in a tortuous #WarCrime that #Biden is 100% supporting. Fucking bastard should be thrown in prison for the rest of his sorry ass life. He can share a cell with trump
What is the big flip-flop? Harris said she’d sign the bipartisan #immigration bill* #Biden negotiated and #Trump killed, which has, among other things, a provision to use funds previously allocated for a wall under Trump but not yet spent.
*It’s a shitty bill but this is an election year

#SCOTUS allows #HHS to divert funds over #abortion referrals
The #SupremeCourt Tues cleared the way for the #Biden admin to strip millions of #HealthCare dollars from #Oklahoma over its refusal to direct patients to info about #abortions — a federal req that the state says would be at odds w/its strict #AbortionBan.
Last yr, the Biden admin diverted $4.5M from OK’s #FamilyPlanning prgm, which primarily serves #LowIncome or #uninsured patients.

#SCOTUS on Wednesday rebuffed a #Biden administration plea seeking to revive the latest plan to tackle federal student loan debt.
The court in a brief order denied an emergency request filed by the administration seeking to lift a nationwide injunction imposed by an appeals court. There were no noted dissents.”
New #Biden Administration Rules Aim to Hold Insurers Accountable for #MentalHealth Care Coverage
==
The regulations will force health insurance plans to collect and report more data on how they limit and deny mental health claims. ProPublica’s reporting has found that insurers regularly shortchange patients seeking treatment.

The Secret Service is looking into Elon #Musk's Twitter post (later removed) that suggested it was strange no one attempted to assassinate President #Biden or Vice President #Harris.
In response to a FOIA request, the agency said it's withholding records due to "enforcement proceedings." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-09-19/musk-x-post-about-biden-harris-threats-leads-to-secret-service-investigation
“The #Biden administration is expected on Friday to announce a major effort to blunt the global influence of RT and expose what it says is the Russian state media network’s key role in the Kremlin’s global intelligence and influence operations, according to a senior administration official and three other sources familiar with the matter.”

I’ve heard it said that if you don’t vote with whichever party then you are a coward. I think that’s exactly backwards, and even reflects poorly all the person making that argument. It doesn’t take much courage to go with the group.
Instead I go the other way: no matter which party you might prefer in general, it takes courage to say they nominated a moron, and fortunately the other party also nominated a loser, so no matter what the US is going to slog through these next few years.
In my opinion the courageous position is to say no, you nominated a moron, and I’m not going to give you my vote. We’re going to be okay I guess, whether you win or not, but I’m not going to let you assume that you have my vote if you insist on nominating a moron. You should have nominated someone better. You should have nominated someone worthy of my vote. Do better next time.
That’s the state of #USPolitics . As South Park said, big douche versus turd sandwich. So screw both #Democrats and #Republicans. Neither of you managed to nominate someone worth voting for, so I’m voting for my dog.
To give either party our votes is to sign on to their nomination of garbage people. Let’s not. Let’s say that they need to actually nominate worthwhile administrators.
But more practically, let’s focus on #Congress. No matter who wins this election, they’re going to suck, but we can still express ourselves through our representation in Congress, and that’s honestly how it should be anyway.
Check out your representatives. See how they have actually been voting, and vote them out if they have been letting you down. That’s really where our focus should be anyway.
Not on which jerk ends up in the Oval Office.
(But thank God #Biden is on his way out, as he has been terrible for #science in the US, which has not gotten nearly enough attention from the press.)
No. NOT a joke. Detestable Trumpian cop-out “JK” is BS…& potentially deadly.
“Hours after what the FBI called a 2nd attempted assassination of #Trump, Elon #Musk wrote on his social media site — and then deleted — a post suggesting it was odd that nobody had tried to kill President #Biden or Vice President Kamala #Harris.
Musk said the post on X had been intended as a joke.”

History has just been made with far too little acknowledgment:
President #Biden sat down with The Washington Blade — marking the first time a sitting president has given an exclusive interview to an #LGBTQ+ news outlet.
