DNC CONVENTION The DNC will broadcast live across ABC, CNN, CBS News, CSPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, NBC News, Newsnation and PBS, among other channels. However, the best way for cable-cutters to tune into the events is through a live TV streamer such as DirecTV, Sling TV, Fubo TV and Hulu + Live TV, which all currently offer free trials.
Is the media biased?
CNN: CEO is a Trump donor.
ABC: CEO is a Trump donor.
CBS: CEO is a Trump donor.
NBC: CEO is a Trump donor.
MSNBC: CEO is a Trump donor.
NEW YORK TIMES: CEO is a Trump donor.
WALL STREET JOURNAL: OWNER Rupert Murdoch
Mark Cuban Here on @X is my unpopular opinion on this political cycle: “This seems to be to be a race where everyone’s frame of reference is influenced more by the narratives delivered by the algorithms we consume than the actual events themselves. Those algorithms evolve as new information, accurate or not, are posted. So none of us really have any idea how any event or reality will impact the Presidential and other important races this cycle. This is the first AI driven election season where policy and personalities mean nothing and algorithms drive everything The most influential positions in politics, is whoever controls the algorithms for each significant online platform. The next most important positions, are the people at each campaign, who can figure out how to reverse-engineer the algos and use them to their advantage. ” Now I wait for the personal attacks that those algos deliver to the top of my replies

BREAKING: HUGE Win for Biden /Harris Administration :
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Netanyahu has just accepted the latest U.S. proposal on a Gaza ceasefire deal.
The submission of a new rule that could give Georgia counties more say in delaying the certification of votes was secretly arranged by an organization led by one of the architects of efforts to overturn the 2020 election. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-election-board-vote-certification
Kamala Harris to raise corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% if elected President.
Adam Kinzinger, a brave defender of democracy, has made the bold decision to prioritize his country over his party by speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

“It is likely Harris will win the election. That doesn’t mean she will get to be the president.”
But the Democrats’ current plan is from 2020, and while Harris has floated some ideas — including retracting old promises; she now favors fracking — she has no official agenda yet.
According to Politico, Democratic officials do not want Harris to reveal her policies until after the election, hoping she will coast to victory on vibes.

Is the US Ready to Defend Democracy From Rogue Election Officials?
In 2020, the election deniers were improvisational and slapdash; now they are systematic, organized, and well funded.

They’re at it again. The GA Election Board will meet at 9AM today to discuss another rule change, which could further delay certification of results.
The real danger this November is a quiet coup carried out under cover of the arcane rules of “reasonable” certification.
Get ready for the quiet coup in November. Trump’s dreams of overturning the vote count of 2020 can now come true in 2024, thanks to a new rule passed by the MAGA-controlled Georgia State Election Board.

For all of you who think there was something strategic about @elonmusk buying Twitter, it was simply hubris. He made a brag, got suckered into making a legally binding offer, tried to back out of it, and got forced to follow through due to litigation. #Genius
The GOP is gone. Stop calling it the GOP – it’s MAGA now. There is no republican party, only the cancer that is MAGA.
If MAGA/Trump and company are so against socialism and “communism”, maybe blue states shouldn’t be contributing to MAGA red state welfare.
Think about how much in taxes people living in blue states could save if red states followed their own convictions.
Two Arizona election officials from Cochise County were indicted on felony charges of conspiracy and interference with an election officer. Despite this, they are scheduled to play a role in the certification of 2024’s election results. See the problem?
