Claudia Sheinbaum sworn in as Mexico's first female president in historic inauguration. www.nbcnews.com/…
Claudia Sheinbaum officially took office Tuesday as Mexico's first female president and the first of Jewish heritage during a historic inauguration ceremony Tuesday afternoon.
At the Legislative Palace of San Lázaro in Mexico City, attendees swarmed Sheinbaum, taking selfies and greeting her, as she approached outgoing president Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Ifigenia Martínez, president of Mexico's Chamber of Congress.
In a symbolic act of the transition of power between López Obrador and Sheinbaum, Martínez, who many credit as a trailblazer for women in Mexican politics, handed Sheinbaum a presidential sash decorated with the colors of the Mexican flag.
Sheinbaum took her oath and addressed a room of more than 100 high-profile invitees, including U.S. first lady Jill Biden and the presidents of nearly a dozen African and Latin American countries, among others.

NEW: The Kamala Harris campaign just released an ad that trolls Donald Trump for all his failures — the biggest one being picking JD Vance to be his running mate. Absolutely brutal & perfect. This will drive Trump crazy. Watch & share

Ted Cruz Hits the Panic Button. meidasnews.com/...
Ted Cruz continues to follow the Trump playbook of fear mongering, demonizing migrants, racist dog whistles, and lies this morning as his re-election battle against popular Democratic congressman Colin Allred heads into the home stretch.
Cruz won his first election in 2012 by a whopping 17 points. Since then, his toxic and abrasive personality, grandstanding and grifting, has only seen his popularity in the state decline. He won by only 2 points over Beto O'Rourke in 2018, and now poll after poll continues to show Allred within 1-2 points of Cruz.
Cruz clearly sounded panicked this morning on Newsmax, where he dedicated his entire five minute segment to repeatedly begging the audience to send him money. Normally, networks bring on candidates to talk about the news of the day and don't allow them to use their platforms as free fundraising vehicles, but this is Newsmax and Ted Cruz so shamelessness is the brand:
"He's been on TV for 3 months straight with relentless attack ads. I just went on TV a couple of weeks ago. I want to encourage your viewers this morning - I need your help. Contribute, because we are getting swamped ... they have put a bullseye on the state of Texas. They know if they flip Texas, if they take me out, they take the entire country - they keep the Senate Democrat. So, I need your help."

I sure hope so.
North Carolina board of elections: “While we do not know exactly what is ahead, our guiding force between now and Election Day will be to do everything possible to ensure every eligible North Carolina voter can cast their ballot. Natural disasters have affected elections here in the recent past. As we did at those times, we will conduct a safe, secure, and successful election in 2024”

He couldnt even be arsed to bring the paper towels. Trump Admits "Truckloads" of Hurricane Relief Didn't Come from Campaign. Trump's campaign took credit for supplies delivered by Samaritan's Purse meidasnews.com/…
Just a few days ago, Trump started using the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to hold political events and attack his political opponents. In a press release on Sunday, the Trump campaign stated Trump would be visiting Valdosta, Georgia to "facilitate the distribution of relief supplies."
✂️
The Trump campaign promoted Trump's "truckloads" of relief comments online. Pro-Trump right wing outlets and MAGA Republican accounts amplified Trump's claims often leaving out the part about Samaritan's Purse, the disaster relief organization ran by Franklin Graham.

Wow. This is Texas State University. Hundreds of young people fill a huge room to hear from Rep. AOC, Beto O'Rourke, and Sen. Bernie Sanders during a voter registration event. This is what gives me hope & why I'm not counting the South out. Young people are FIRED up.
