Wowza! If the MSM won't ask, the MVP will.
Oh my goodness. The Harris-Walz campaign just released a statement in which they compile a list of 10 questions on voters' minds as he is about to take the stage for a "softball" Town Hall on Fox with Sean Hannity moderating. This is too good & this is how it's done.

Ginni Thomas Privately Praised Group Working Against Supreme Court Reform: “Thank You So, So, So Much.” www.propublica.org/…
Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, privately heaped praise on a major religious-rights group for fighting efforts to reform the nation’s highest court — efforts sparked, in large part, by her husband’s ethical lapses.
Thomas expressed her appreciation in an email sent to Kelly Shackelford, an influential litigator whose clients have won cases at the Supreme Court. Shackelford runs the First Liberty Institute, a $25 million-a-year organization that describes itself as “the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans.”
Shackelford read Thomas’ email aloud on a July 31 private call with his group’s top donors.

Two luxury real-estate projects in Albania proposed by the son-in-law of former President Donald J. Trump are stirring up lingering tensions in that country, with the Trump family facing accusations that land it hopes to develop has been improperly set aside for them.

Click the xit to read the whole thing. It's long, but good.
CREW argues in a new legal brief: Judge Aileen Cannon has shown bias in handling criminal charges against Trump and should be reversed and removed from the case to "preserve the appearance of justice."
Cannon has created a "a parallel legal universe for former presidents" and crossed the line "to active judicial interference and advocacy" for Trump.https://propublica.org/article/judge-aileen-cannon-trump-documents-case-ethics-complaint-crew-jack-smith

Hahahahahahaha! RFK Jr. must remain on the Michigan ballot, judge says. apnews.com/…
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan judge ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. must remain on the November presidential ballot, dealing a blow to his crusade to strategically remove his ticket from the battleground state.
Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump in August. Since then, he has sought to withdraw his name in states — like Michigan — where the race could be close. At the same time, he is trying to remain on the ballot in states where he is unlikely to make a difference between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
✂️
Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher P. Yates concluded that the secretary of state rightly rejected Kennedy’s request to be removed from the ballot.
“Elections are not just games, and the Secretary of State (SOS) is not obligated to honor the whims of candidates for public office,” Yates said in his opinion and order.
Bolding mine.

New: The Justice Department just confirmed a Russian election interference campaign "operating under the direction and control of the Russian Presidential Administration.
"DOJ announced the ongoing seizure of 32 internet domains used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns — in violation of U.S. money laundering and criminal trademark laws.
As alleged in an unsealed affidavit, the Russian companies Social Design Agency (SDA), Structura National Technology (Structura), and ANO Dialog, operating under the direction and control of the Russian Presidential Administration, used these domains, among others, to covertly spread Russian government propaganda with the aim of reducing international support for Ukraine, bolstering pro-Russian policies and interests, and influencing voters in U.S. and foreign elections.
