#OTD in '78 Actor John Travolta joined the Carters for dinner. Amy Carter invited 5 friends to have #DinnerAndAMovie with Mr. Travolta & her family! They watched the '78 film, “A Wedding,” starring Dezi Arnaz, Jr. & Carol Burnett, in the White House Theater! Image: NAID 181839

There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.

Not for nothing but downballot this year in North Carolina under @abreezeclayton’s leadership, Dems won races for:

Governor
Lt. Governor
Attorney Gen.
Sec. of State
Sup. of Public Instruction
State Supreme Court (probably)
NC-01

And they broke the GOP’s state leg supermajority

Well, the Selzer poll looks like it might have been among the worst of the cycle. Harris is likely to lose Iowa by 8-10 at this point. Very different from the D+3 result she had.

[Deb Haaland @DebHaalandNM]

Jon Tester is the real deal. He farms, works hard, and keeps his word. He earns every vote and carries Montana values everywhere he goes. Montana, get out to vote to keep him in the Senate.

I think @realDonaldTrump did America one great favor

He could have pretended to moderate a bit, or to care about someone other than himself

Instead, he ran as a bigoted narcissist, right through his festival of hate last night

So now we get to find out who America really is.

Watching Republican politicians in Florida — some of the worst people on the face of the earth that draw breath — sprint away from this after cozying up to and enabling Trump and MAGA for the last decade is just way too much fun.

This. Is. His. Closing. Argument.

[Chris Potter @CPotterPgh]

LOLOL it now appears that the Post-Gazette has DELETED the lone reference its coverage had to Trump's dick joke. Gone is a vague allusion to an "off-color" joke that I saw in the story last night. Instead we now get this.

As early voting begins in GA, Jimmy Carter achieved his goal to live long enough to vote for Kamala Harris. https://t.co/9rnS0uxXwD

This arrangement and editorial gloss may stand for, capture the journalism about the entire campaign

Wow we are in full fantasy land with Trump saving Obamacare.

[Chip Giller @cgiller]

@joshtpm In part of it, he was calling for what the Inflation Reduction Act, passed under Biden, actually does -- more manufacturing in the U.S. and big disincentives to purchase and use solar panels made in China.

[David Plouffe @davidplouffe]

Afraid of the debate stage. Afraid of 60 minutes. And his campaign team - after the last three days of increasingly unhinged and unstable ranting at his rallies - is clearly afraid of exposing him beyond comfortable confines.

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

It’s insane and seriously pathetic how easy it is for Trump to bully major news outlets to say, in essence, well, guess we’re not in the truth business anymore.

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

[Brian Merchant @bcmerchant]

There's an exodus of executives from OpenAI, the company is burning billions a year, its enterprise offerings are widely criticized, Sam Altman appears to spend half of his day doing podcasts, and there is still no proven business model. This company is seeking a $150b valuation.
