Main thing they're doing:

Party operatives, armed with a high-powered projector, booked themselves a room across the street from Trump Tower to display the message “Trump-Vance: Out For Themselves” — along with other slogans intended to rankle, rile, and otherwise irritate the candidate — across his 92-story building’s gleaming glass facade.

Really weird to base your belief system on a lie, and double down when it's exposed.

The 92-page document will be voted on by delegates Monday evening.

Georgia’s GOP-controlled State Election Board is poised to adopt a rule on Monday that would give county election board members an additional avenue to delay certification of election results, potentially allowing them to throw the state’s vote count into chaos this fall.

A former Fulton County election official who submitted an initial draft of the rule told ProPublica that she had done so at the behest of a regional leader of a right-wing organization involved in challenging the legitimacy of American election systems. That organization, the Election Integrity Network, is led by Cleta Mitchell, who helped orchestrate attempts to overturn the 2020 election and spoke on the callin which former President Donald Trump demanded that Georgia’s secretary of state “find” him 11,780 votes to undo Joe Biden’s victory.

The Election Integrity Network’s role in bringing forward the proposed rule has not been previously reported.

In some far reaches of rural America, Democrats are flirting with extinction. In Niobrara County, Wyoming, the least-populated county in the least-populated state, Becky Blackburn is one of just 32 left.

Her neighbors call her “the crazy Democrat,” although it’s more a term of endearment than derision.

Some less populated counties have fewer. There are 21 Democrats in Clark County, Idaho, and 20 in Blaine County, Nebraska. But Niobrara County’s Democrats, who account for just 2.6% of registered voters, are the most outnumbered by Republicans in the 30 states that track local party affiliation, according to Associated Press election data.

In Wyoming, the state that has voted for Donald Trump by a wider margin than any other, overwhelming Republican dominance may be even more cemented-in now that the state has passed a law that makes changing party affiliation much more difficult.

• JD Vance and Tim Walz will be dispatched across the Sun Belt headed into the general election.
• But so far, Walz has made the best impression among swing-state voters in the key region.
• The latest New York Times/Siena College polls showed Walz eclipsing Vance in favorability.

Says the man who is the 2nd man on the ticket of the man borrowing Epsdein's plane.

Somebody, please, make it make sense......

Harris, despite being part of the Biden administration, was seen by some as being more sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause and made a forceful case for a cease-fire deal after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantyahu.

“We all came to a consensus that it’s not going to make a difference, that [Harris] represents this administration,” said Hatem Abudayyeh, chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “We’re going to stay full steam ahead.”

Harris may also face sporadic protests inside the arena where she will make her televised acceptance speech on Thursday. About 30 delegates who represent the “uncommitted” vote in the primary which activists used as a means of protesting Biden’s policies on Israel will attend.

Democratic vice presidential pick and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz flexed his Midwestern roots during a rally in Nebraska on Saturday as Democrats attempt to court voters.

Less than two weeks after Democratic front runner Vice President Kamala Harris announced him as her vice presidential pick, Walz held the first solo rally of the presidential campaign in Nebraska near the state's competitive Second Congressional District surrounding Omaha, which both campaigns are eyeing to grab.

Walz is no stranger to the Cornhusker state. Before becoming the governor of Minnesota, he grew up in Nebraska, went to Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska, served in the Nebraska Army National Guard, and met his wife, Gwen, while teaching in Alliance, Nebraska. On Saturday, he reminded rallygoers that he is the only candidate on both presidential tickets with those roots, making multiple references to Nebraska culture, from cinnamon rolls and chili to college football.
