Make sure AF2 is deep cleaned because Lord only knows what @KamalaHarris and her team have done on there. The smell alone on that plane must be crazy. https://t.co/0Kr0K3QXYR
So I did this thing called journalism (Megyn should give it try) where I did interviews, research. Turns out MN's new law does NOT mandate menstrual products in boys' bathrooms. Talked to school admin association & MN's largest school district. #TamponTimhttps://t.co/wCGSJJRoNlhttps://t.co/dj9AZSSqqQ
The Star Tribune editorial board cleared up a lot of misinformation on the right's "Tampon Tim" attacks, including that he's forcing menstrual products in boys' bathrooms.
As a girl dad, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped feminine hygiene products off at school because they were needed unexpectedly and not provided. Calling him Tampon Tim should be a badge of honor. pic.twitter.com/cbsphTQzcS
Walz is an example of how Beijing patiently grooms future American leaders
Decades later they get into positions of power,are portrayed as “experts” by the media & push for policies that allow China to steal our jobs & factories & flood America with drugs https://t.co/wTSua22DKa
“It’s different because while Joe Biden was incompetent by senility, Kamala Harris is incompetent by stupidity. She has supported 100% of Joe Biden’s disastrous policies. And that’s why our strategy will not change. Overall, we will continue to hammer away on the message that you just heard President Trump share for more than an hour at that press conference, taking questions on all types of issues and calling out Kamala Harris for her failure.” – Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline “Cow-Toe” Leavitt, this afternoon on Fox News.

An 8-year legal saga over censorship by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over a Bill of Rights display in the state capitol building has finally ended. We won the lawsuit last year (it started in 2016) but we only got our attorney fees and costs this week! 🎉https://t.co/yT38YUwpqd
Elagabalus3 days ago “The law…forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with younger students.” Excuse me, but every time a straight teacher mentions his or her heterosexually-married husband, wife, or kids, the issue of sexual orientation gets raised, because as we all know, whenever straight people mention their spouse everyone immediately goes straight to thinking about the two of them having sex and that makes everyone else feel uncomfortable, and we can’t have that. Oh, wait…no, that’s only the way it works for gay people.
zhera The goal is to shove kids so far into the closet they will never find their way out.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ rally in Las Vegas is packed and entirely sold out. Trump is seething because he could never pull a crowd like this. That’s why he’s cancelled nearly all of his events. Retweet so all Americans see this energy and excitement.https://t.co/lU6weSWhav
Longtime JMG readers may recall Cleta Mitchell for her work with the anti-LGBTQ hate group NOM. In 2011, she caused infighting within the now-defunct homocon group GOProud when she spearheaded a movement to boycott CPAC over GOProud’s attendance. GOProud founder Chris Barron called her a “bigot,” prompting now-Fox News host Tammy Bruce to resign from the group. Barron then apologized. Of note, Mitchell appears to have a particular hatred for gay men because her first husband left her for another man. In 1992, Mitchell’s second husband was convicted on five felony counts of banking fraud.

NEW from me: New poll from Republican pollsters shows Harris +6 in NV — Democrats' best poll of the cycle
In the House, Amodei's lead in NV-02 is surprisingly narrow (with a lot of undecideds) and NV-04, rather than swingy NV-03, polled the closesthttps://t.co/RSDw7057SV

Donald Trump’s Very Good, Very Normal Press Conference Split Screen: Joy and Freedom vs. Whatever the Hell That Was (No photo on the page.)
Donald Trump took a break from taking a break to put on some pants and host a p̶r̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶f̶e̶r̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ public meltdown. We have a lot to say about it. Here are some initial thoughts – with more to come.
He hasn’t campaigned all week. He isn’t going to a single swing state this week. But he sure is mad Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are getting big crowds across the battlegrounds.The facts were hard to track and harder to find in Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago meltdown this afternoon. He lied. He attacked the media. He made excuses for why he’s off the campaign trail. We’re here to help because his staff clearly isn’t.
But first, an important reminder on the question Donald didn’t answer: how he will vote on the Florida abortion referendum. (He has been ducking this question since April.) We worked to pin down reality so Donald Trump, bless his heart, doesn’t have to. Here are the facts:
People have spoken to bigger crowds than Donald Trump. (Obama, Clinton, literally anyone at Lollapalooza, Coachella, the World Cup…)
January 6th was decidedly nothing like MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech. And Trump did not get a bigger crowd than Martin Luther King Jr. on that historic day.
There was famously not a “peaceful transfer” of power after the 2020 election, which Donald Trump fought to overturn. (Famously.) Five police officers died because of January 6th.
Donald Trump said he was off the trail this week because of the Democratic convention. (That convention is not happening this week.)
Trump said they have commercials at a level no one else does. (He is being drastically outspent on the airwaves.)
Abortion is not “less of an issue” for voters. It is not “subdued.” It is not a “small issue” for voters, despite how much Donald Trump wants it to be. Donald Trump did not answer the abortion question “very well in the debate.”
Everybody did not want Roe v. Wade overturned. The American people do not support states banning abortion.
JD Vance said that “we have to go to war” against the idea that women can decide not to have children, suggesting that someone who focuses on building their career instead of making babies will be “a sad, lonely, pathetic person.” https://t.co/LxQtdWKhOQpic.twitter.com/CsYe0e1Qd4
