With Joe Biden dropping out of the race and endorsing Kamala Harris, it's a good time to revisit @abughazalehkat's look at how the right (and Trump) can't figure out how to attack her.
And now, they're trying to play catchup.
I am running a fundraiser, and it has stalled at $60,000 out of $85,000. That's why I want to explain why it's important. Donation link at the end.
Part of this fundraiser will go to buying more engineering equipment for Ukraine. It's not a very popular topic like drones, but it plays a very important part on the battlefield in saving Ukrainian lives. The constant bombardments of civilian infrastructure and residential areas put a huge strain on Ukraine's engineering equipment. In Kharkiv, most of the equipment is engaged in disaster relief efforts, fixing pipes, roads, and clearing debris after Russian bombings.
Most standard military engineering equipment includes huge excavators based on Kraz trucks that aren't capable of digging shelters inside the treelines and windbreaks. Instead, they break trees, existing camouflage, and their size makes them easy targets because they can't conceal themselves while working.
The small ~5-ton excavators that @LibertyUkraineF provides to Ukrainian defenders not only allows them to dig bunkers, trenches, or shelters, but they also allow them to do so discreetly. I was told that if planned right, the excavator can get as close as the second treeline to the current line of contact, thanks to its ability to move inside the treelines unnoticed.
Needless to say, one excavator like this is equivalent to 30 men working with shovels, if not more.
Finally, let me explain why digging is important. Many civilians don't understand, but when artillery or bombs strike, they rarely hit directly; shells land 2-20-50 meters away from the target. The shrapnel travels upward from the ground, and if you are below ground level, it will miss you. Also, the blast wave that travels through the ground disperses much quicker, leaving people in bunkers relatively unharmed if the hit is not direct.
So in the end, I want to say that excavators save our troops from bombs, artillery, and FPVs. These particular models can work very close to the front lines, making them invaluable for our infantry.
Please donate and Slava Ukraini.

Unemployment is near record lows.
We've added 14.9 million jobs.
Inflation is falling.
Democrats won't stop fighting to build on this progress and build an economy that works for every family.
Yesterday in North Carolina, I stopped by Eric’s house to have lunch with him and his two sons. I brought some Cook Out. They were an impressive family—Eric’s an award-winning educator and his sons are both athletic and academic all stars. We talked about the importance of family, building intergenerational wealth, the state of our schools, and I gave his oldest son Christian a couple of tips on what he should get for his first car.
Eric had a lot of student debt forgiven, and he told me what a big deal it was for him and his boys. I go to work for families like Eric’s every day—hardworking folks who want to leave something behind for their kids. I loved the time I spent with them.
Thanks Eric, for hosting me. Come by our place next time.
Hey #fellas let's push #MakeRussiaPay to trend? Key decisions are approaching in the next few months. The West has sufficient resources to help Ukraine win--the terrorist state should finally start receiving the bills for this genocidal war
On #Jan6, as a violent mob attacked the Capitol in Trump's name, they carried Christian nationalist flags, erected crucifixes, and sang hymns. Make no mistake, there is nothing Christian about the idolatrous Trump cult. Watch the rest: https://t.co/0KQG2RpGJk
