After watching former President Donald Trump spend the last week raving about Kamala Harris not being a "real" Black woman, progressive USA Today columnist Rex Huppke made the case that Trump's psyche appears to be severely damaged by Harris' entry into the race.

At the start of his column, Huppke took stock of a rally that Trump had over the weekend in Georgia in which he accused Harris of being "low IQ" and "crazy," and even added that "She doesn’t want anyone saying Merry Christmas.”

Some campaigns have slogans, but former Hillary Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri said that Kamala Harris has created a "battle cry" for 2024.

The New York Times reports that Wyden cited Customs and Border Protections records showing that "the justice and his wife, Virginia Thomas, took a round trip between Hawaii and New Zealand in November 2010 on Mr. Crow’s private jet, according to the letter. Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, writing to Mr. Crow’s lawyer, demanded that he supply more information about the financial relationship between the two men."

Florida hasn't voted for a Democrat for president in over a decade. It hasn't sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in just as long. Out of the Sunshine State's 28 U.S. House seats, just eight are held by Democrats. And it hasn't elected a Democrat for governor since 1994.

Republican Gov. Jeff Landry of Louisiana is dodging questions from the media by citing laws that don't actually exist, a local newspaper accused him Monday.

NOLA.com reporter Andrea Gallo detailed the governor's attempts to avoid requests for details about his government by claiming that public records would be “weaponized to stifle deliberative speech.” The journalist discovered that, during the first five months of Landry's term in office, he refused about a quarter of all public records requests by citing "deliberative process" or "executive privilege."
