Trump backs down after bailing on debating Harris
Axios | Sareen Habeshian | 08/08/24

Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have both agreed to the Sept. 10 presidential debate on ABC, the network said Thursday.

The big picture: Trump said Thursday he's reached an agreement with three TV networks for debates with Harris - and said he's waiting on a reply from the VP.

The GOP presidential nominee said during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago that he's agreed to a Sept. 4 debate on Fox News, a Sept. 10 one on NBC and a Sept. 25 debate on ABC.

Trump said; "She's barely competent, and she can't do an interview," he said of Harris. "But I look forward to the debates." ... Read more

Arizona Republican becomes first fake elector to plead guilty for role in Trump scheme
Politico | Kyle Cheney | 08/06/24

An Arizona Republican who falsely claimed to be a legitimate presidential elector for former President Donald Trump — part of a sweeping effort by Trump and his allies to subvert the 2020 election - has pleaded guilty for her role in the scheme.

Lorraine Pellegrino, one of 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely posed as Trump’s electors that year, accepted a guilty plea to a single charge for filing a "false instrument" - the fraudulent Electoral College certificate. The state charge was one of several she faced for allegedly joining in a conspiracy to corrupt Arizona’s election results. ... Read more

Robert Reich Mashups
Robert Reich

In an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Reich explained that "I don't believe in redistribution of wealth for the sake of redistributing wealth. But I am concerned about how we can afford to pay for what we as a nation need to do [...] [Taxes should pay] for what we need in order to be safe and productive. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, 'taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.'"

In response to a question as to what to recommend to the incoming president regarding a fair and sustainable income and wealth distribution, Reich said: "Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit—a wage supplement for lower-income people, and finance it with a higher marginal income tax on the top five percent. For the longer term, invest in education for lower income communities, starting with early-childhood education and extending all the way up to better access to post-secondary education."

Reich is pro-union, saying: "Unionization is not just good for workers in unions, unionization is very, very important for the economy overall, and would create broad benefits for the United States." Writing in 2014, he stated that he favors raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hr across three years, believing that it will not adversely impact big business, and will increase higher value worker availability.

Lindsey Graham

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the quiet part aloud on why he’s still so close to former President Donald Trump: because we can use him for our goals. "President Trump has gotten people who wouldn't give me or Romney or anybody else the time of day. They believe he is on their side," the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
