Recap of Today in Politics, Halloween Edition

5 days to go.

… Police say the man who firebombed ballot boxes in WA and OR has experience in metalworking and will likely be back to try again.

… Donald Trump held his rally in NM today on an airport tarmac. He wanted to hold it at the Albuquerque Convention Center, but the city told him that he had to pay his $445,000 bill that has been due since 2019 first. He refused, so Deadbeat Donnie’s cult is on a tarmac.

… Tucker Carlson did a podcast interview with a christian YouTube channel and recounted a story where he claimed he was physically mauled last year in the middle of the night by a “spiritual demon” and he woke up with bloody claw marks all over his ribs and shoulder. Are we still not allowed to call them weird? I know they get sensitive about these things.

… Alex Jones posted on Twitter that Carlson told him this story over a year ago in confidence, and Jones says that this same phenomenon is happening to many other prominent people. This is MAGA.

… Lebron James posted a video to his 159 million IG and 59 million Twitter followers that he is supporting Kamala Harris, which included clips from Trump’s racist MSG rally. Lebron: “When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”

… Charlie Kirk responded that James will “never be as good as Michael Jordan,” and says his ad was misleading and used Trump clips out of context.

… Former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg endorsed Kamala Harris today, saying “she is determined to lead our nation forward, and she understands that the only way to do that is by bringing people back together. I’m ready, and I think most Americans are.”

… Kamala Harris picked up endorsements from 3 key Republicans in NH who supported Nikki Haley in the primary. Former US Senator Gordon Humphrey, former congressman Chuck Douglas, and former AG Thomas Rath all endorsed a Democrat for president for the first time in their lives.

… Humphrey: “He’s dangerous to our democracy.”

… Douglas: “He believes in himself over service” and has a “fragile mental state.”

… Rath: Campaign is one of “division, anger, thinly veiled prejudice, and rejection of our core values as a nation.”

… Joe Rogan pressed Vance on “religious men” dictating to women what they can and can’t do with their bodies after Roe was overturned. Vance said “women are going way too far” exaggerating the problem and just want to “celebrate” having abortions.

… Vance claimed that when he heard about the shooting at the Trump rally in PA he went home, loaded all his guns, and stood sentry inside his front door thinking that they might be coming for him next. Sounds legit.

… Trump sued CBS for $10 Billion dollars because 60 Minutes edited Harris’s interview like they do all interviews. Harris responded: “Trump is focused on his enemies list while I’m focused on my To-Do List.”

… He filed the lawsuit in the Amarillo Division of the Northern District of Texas, where Elon Musk also filed his most recent lawsuits against media companies. That is the District run by former Trump donor Matthew Kascmaryck, which is becoming MAGA home court for litigation to be forum shopped to.

… Trump then followed that up at his rally tonight by saying that ABC should also lose their broadcast license in addition to CBS. Elon Musk said a couple days ago that all networks should lose their licenses and be put up for public auction. But don’t call them fascists.

… The fallout continues from Trump surrogate Charlie Kirk’s appearance on Megyn Kelly’s podcast where he said that Republican wives should vote the way their
