Trump verbally maintains he knows "nothing" about Project 2025, but there is video of him at the Heritage Foundation (lettering on the wall behind him) thanking the foundation for creating a wonderful plan for his second administration!

Rachel @Maddow warns about 'Project 2025' and the potential dangers of a second Trump term: "Trump and his movement, they are not running against Democrats, they're running against democracy."

A new group....Business Leaders for Harris!

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets infuriating news as titans of business like Mark Cuban, Reed Hastings, and Aaron Levine band together to launch a new initiative to elect Kamala Harris.

Business for Leaders for Harris has launched a series of slickly produced video testimonials from small business owners as well as the aforementioned prominent industry leaders to argue for a Harris presidency.

At the top of the list are Shark Tank billionaire Mark Cuban, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, Box CEO Aaron Levine, former American Express CEO Ken Chenault, and former Merck CEO Ken Frazier. They all recorded short videos in support of Harris.

"Kamala Harris brings order and innovation. Donald Trump brings chaos and fear and hopelessness. We need someone who will bring us hope in a very tangible way and that is Kamala Harris," Chenault said in his testimonial.

"In many ways, I think it will be an improvement from the current administration. And one of her differences is the level of interest that she has," said Hastings.

Business Leaders for Harris comes from the progressive Republican Accountability PAC. The super PAC received $6 million from Hoffman and $7 million from Hastings alone.

On top of that, Hoffman will be hosting the new Business Leaders for Harris podcast, the first episode of which will feature him talking to Cuban and then Hastings.

Hoffman said he has heard from "a whole bunch of CEOs, who actually feel very strongly that Harris is better for business, but who don’t feel like they can speak up as much because they’re currently in ‘the seat.'"

"They’re kind of like, ’Hey, I got a bunch of employees. I got shareholders. I got customers," he added.

Sad reality in some American states.

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It was the honor of a lifetime to perform poetry at an inauguration that swore both President Biden and Vice President Harris into office, as they are both outstanding leaders who have dedicated their lives to public service. The miracle that allowed for me, a young, Black girl to be there was the democratic tradition of ushering in a new guard of voices, one that Biden and Harris have exemplified by exchanging the torch without ego, malice, or pride. When we share power without insecurity and stand together as our best selves, there is nothing we can’t accomplish in this country. Let’s go #Harris2024!

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Governor Gretchen Whitmer just brought the house down when she explained why Donald Trump is terrified of Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump knows Kamala Harris is going to prosecute his record. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

We don't know if Pete Buttigieg will be picked as Kamala Harris' VP, but if not he should be appointed Secretary of Explaining Things on Fox News, because there's nobody better.

NOBODY.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

According to the NYT, Trump has a nickname for his new opponent: “Laffin’ Kamala Harris.” That’s because she seems to laugh a lot. On the other hand, I’ve never seen Trump laugh. If there’s a video of Trump laughing, please produce it. I’ve been on the lookout for it the past nine years. Kamala laughs a lot. Hence the nickname. Is it sometimes forced? If so, I can’t tell. I think she - get this - enjoys laughing. It’s a human response. When something strikes a person funny. Or, there’s joyous laughter. When something happy happens. There is derisive laughter. If I ever see Trump laugh, which I have not, I would expect a cruel derisive laugh. But I’ll take anything. It just has to be audible.

Airlines have merged from 12 carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

4 companies control 85% of beef processing, 70% of the pork market, and 54% of poultry.

Albertsons, Kroger, and Walmart control 70% of the grocery sales in 167 cities.

Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.

Trump’s platform!

I reacted the same way when Trump mocked a disabled reporter. From that moment I knew he was pure evil.

Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

What did corporations do with the money saved?

They didn’t invest it or raise wages.

They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.

Nothing trickled down to workers.
