I can't believe Trump is letting Vance attack his family like this
JD Vance: "I want people know to get rich in the United States is to build a business or a product, not to steal from the American taxpayer. That's the message that we're sending."

Just an FYI: the judge didn’t block the USPS ballot scanning rule from going into effect, she blocked them from making it mandatory. Make sure you have a back up plan to vote.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year.
Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls.
