@Sling you charged me twice when I signed up. How can I remedy this issue and get a refund?

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

Kentucky Gov. Beshear on Sen. JD Vance’s comments today: “J.D. Vance is a phony, he's fake. I mean, he first says that Donald Trump is like Hitler, and now he's acting like he's Lincoln. The problem with JD Vance is he has no conviction, but I guess his running mate has 34."

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

"Stronger than debate but living in a state of denial" seems to be the immediate reaction from some Congressional Democrats.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Good for them. The President of the United States is possibly unfit for the job AND he might be replaced by his vice president or some other Democrat with just 4 months to go in an election against Donald Trump. It's about as big as news stories get.

@mulaney it occurs to me that if you want to know more about Los Angeles you should read anything by D.J. Waldie, particularly Where We Are Now: Notes from Los Angeles and Holy Land: A Suburban Memoir

@howtoadu Is it true that ADU builds of ANY size now require solar panels? Building a 350 sq ft unit in LA now and am being told by my contractor that LADBS requires I add it. Used to be exempt under 500 sq ft, no?

@AskCiti We finally reached someone who helped us withdraw the money. Citibank is going to send a physical check that will take 10-15 be business days! Ridiculous! This bank lives in the stone age and purposely makes it near impossible to remove your money...avoid!

[Paul Dykman @paulc51]

@Citibank makes it impossible to withdraw CD funds when they mature...provide the wrong contact number online, then literally hang up in you in one second when you reach a real person. #CITIBANKscam
