The Violent Implications of the “Jezebel” Attacks on Kamala Harris

The New Republic 

The predictably racist and misogynistic attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, came from equally predictable sources. “She does not speak well, she does not work hard,” said former Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway on Fox News on Sunday. “She should not be the standard-bearer for the party.” Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance went with the same “lazy” trope, adding a not-subtle “welfare queen” allusion to Harris. “What the... Читать дальше...

Switching Candidates Was the Right Call. Will Dems Learn the Lesson?

The New Republic 

Democrats, for the first time in weeks, have momentum. Kamala Harris has clinched the nomination. Democratic voters are overwhelmingly supportive of her candidacy.

The New Republic 

President Joe Biden’s sudden decision to drop out of the presidential race shook up the political world not simply by scrambling the contest and giving moribund Democrats a new charge of energy.

J.D. Vance has made it impossible for Trump to run away from Project 2025

Vox 

Former President Donald Trump has lately been trying to distance himself from Project 2025, claiming it was cooked up by the “severe right” and that he doesn’t know anything about it. But it turns out the severe right is coming from inside the house. Kevin Roberts, the self-proclaimed “head” of Project 2025, has a book […]
