The Prosecutor Versus The Criminal July 29, 2024July 29, 2024 It’s pronounced CALM-a-la — and Doug Emhoff doesn’t think Trump will have to pretend not to know that for much longer (30 seconds). Long gone are the days when Republican presidential candidates treated their opponents with respect. Remember John McCain defending Obama? Trump couldn’t even treat McCain with respect.

Heather Cox Richardson’s latest must-read post begins with the French and Indian War — she’s a historian, after all — and ends with this: When President Joe Biden announced just a week ago that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president, he did not pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. He passed it to us. It is up to us to decide whether we want a country based on fear or on facts, on reaction or on reality, on hatred or on hope. It is up to us whether it will be fascism or democracy that, in the end, moves swiftly, and up to us whether we will choose to follow in the footsteps of those Americans who came before us in our noblest moments, and launch a brand new era in American history. These Lincoln Project 90 seconds ring true. The money and support keep pouring in. We’re gonna win!
