California anecdote: I've seen people wearing maga hats around in public and at the gym recently. The occasional yard sign and bumper sticker are one thing but this is a level of support and openness that wasn't even around in 2020. Feels weirdly optimistic.
I live somewhere that has zero Republican members of Congress and I saw a couple wearing Trump hats in a Dunkin' Donuts this morning.

Anyone of you got a streaming link for the Harris interview thingy?
Preferably one that's not region locked to the USA
I don't think they are streaming it live for free but I (illegally) watch Fox here:
 
Get a VPN, spooky mama.
How's a VPN gonna help me authenticate with some USA-based cable broadcasting thingy?

Thanks, dear
 
Haven't been caught up yet today but that Vem Miller guy, the potential 3rd shooter at the Cali Trump rally, is suing the Sheriff for defamation.

The man who was arrested outside a Trump rally in Coachella for bringing two loaded guns to the event sued the Riverside County sheriff this week, alleging law enforcement officials defamed him and violated his rights.

Vem Miller, 49, was arrested on gun charges Saturday after police found a loaded pistol and shotgun in his car. At a news conference that day, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said that his deputies had “probably” stopped a third assassination attempt on the former present.

In the aftermath of the arrest, however, investigators said they hadn’t found any evidence that Miller was planning to shoot former President Trump.

“Bianco, intentionally, maliciously and with a blatant disregard for the truth, wanted to create a narrative so as to be viewed as a ‘heroic’ Sheriff who saved Presidential candidate Trump from a third assassination attempt,” wrote Miller’s lawyer, Sigal Chattah, in the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Nevada.

Miller has repeatedly denied having any intention of harming the former president, including in an interview with The Times. The L.A. native said he is a fan of the former president and carries the weapons in his car for self-defense.

Man arrested with guns near Trump rally says he had a pass to be there

Bianco said at a Sunday news conference that officers also found fake passports and fake IDs in the car and that the car had fake license plates.

The lawsuit called the allegations against Miller preposterous.

The suit asserted claims of defamation, deprivation of rights and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Miller was booked in Riverside and released on $5,000 bail.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department didn’t responded immediately to a request for comment on Miller’s lawsuit. In a text message, Bianco said, “Probably the fastest lawsuit in history. Almost like it was already intended and prepared.”

In texts to The Times on Tuesday, Bianco seemed to walk back some of his statements about Miller.

“Three days later, IF everything Mr. Miller has said is true, and I really hope it is, then he probably wasn’t there to hurt former President Trump,” Bianco said. “I definitely said it and can’t change that.”

Bianco said he made the comments at the time of the arrest based on finding a fake passport and fake IDs in Miller’s car, as well as Miller’s use of a fake license plate. Bianco said it is still not clear whether Miller intended to assassinate Trump.

“There is no way for us to know for sure. That is up to further investigation, if any, from the FBI,” he said.


 
SNAP eligibility has been a horrid racket for years. I was an extreme budgeter in college a decade ago and I was on it and explicitly remember the #25 bags of oatmeal and lentils I'd buy weren't covered, yet shit like Pepsi and Doritos were. It was infuriating.
I recall when I was on EBT/SNAP in Florida the only rules were "nothing hot and cooked" and "no booze"
otherwise there was no restrictions at all
if you were at, say, Target or Walmart, and got some food and also qtips you'd scan your ebt card and it would automatically sort out paying for the food, then you're on the hook for whatever's left in the same transaction

:09 Harris is still not answering the question, more shots against Trump
:11 I think it's great how hard the moderator is going against Harris with his questions
:12 the moderator is grilling her on everything she's done in the past, and she takes on 0 responsibility
:13 Fox News and the moderator are showing direct evidence of Harris's actions and demands and statements
:14 NOT A SINGLE DIRECT ANSWER ON EVEN A SINGLE QUESTION!
:15 THIS CUNT IS FIRING SHOTS AGAINST TRUMP AGAIN INSTEAD OF ANSWERING A SINGLE QUESTION, IT'S COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS
:16 she herself changed the topic from criminality and the border to the economy. Not a single factual argument from her, just "experts agree with me" - and Trump's plan is terrible of course
:17 Harris is firing shots against Biden. So far not a single valid argument from her. She's bringing her experience and leadership and blah blah blah.
