Happy Friday! Are we all feeling whipsawed yet? We Democrats have gone from weepy to ecstatic and back again in the space of just five days, so if you feel you should take a sedative, mix a martini or just go for a long walk without your phone, please do. Meanwhile, here are a few thoughts that are racing around our fuzzy heads.
Looks like Benedict Donald is experiencing some buyer's remorse about JD Vance — and he's not alone. Yes, Vance has been a dud on the stump, but if you want to know more, just go to the Google machine and search on his name plus "sofa" and "dolphin porn." Fair warning: You may not be able to unsee the images these reports conjure in your mind.
Anthony Scaramucci had an interesting comment the other day about Vance. He said that Trump approaches everything as a question of casting. So, did they choose the wrong guy for the role of running mate? Is this the 2022 Funny Girl crisis redux?
The surge of enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris (and the love that's cascaded over President Joe Biden) is like something we've never seen — and we cats have been around politics since we were kittens. The useless pundits keep asking if Harris can put together a campaign in so short a time. Ridiculous — the campaign never missed a beat, and her rollout has been flawless. What is important, though, is that we, her supporters and volunteers, have to ID our voters, make sure they're registered, and get them to the polls. The next 100 days are going to be the most consequential for the country since FDR's first in 1933.
To that end, it's great news that the White Women for Harris call last night hosted nearly 200,000 participants and raised more than $8.5 million — in spite of crashing Zoom a time or two and basically overloading the interwebs. And it's not the only organizing call out there! If you're free this coming Monday and want to participate in Women for Harris (men are welcome), click here.
We broke Zoom — so let's break Trump! We cats PURR.
