Project 2025's Kevin Roberts to speak at New York Times' Climate Week NYC event

You know, the guy who wants to DRILL everything.

https://www.mediamatters.org/project-2025/project-2025s-kevin-roberts-speak-ny-times-climate-week-nyc-event

The New York Times announced the speakers for its September 25 “Climate Week NYC” discussion, an annual event coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly session in New York City that promises to “bring together some of the world’s most engaged climate voices as part of a community focused on change.” The event’s lineup notably includes Kevin Roberts, the president of right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation who has led the Project 2025 initiative — the controversial conservative transition plan of policy and staffing proposals for a potential second Trump presidency.


As you can imagine, this is NOT going well on Twitter.

What? Kevin Robert’s?
The guy whose #Project2025 manifesto completely abolishes NOAA, climate research, & all environmental regulations so corporations are free to poison air, water & earth in the name of profit?

The @nytimes
has officially gone 100% to the dark side.

Small-town firefighters sawed through the Arizona border wall to rescue an injured man who waited 24 hours for help

He apparently fell off the border wall on the Mexican side.

https://azluminaria.org/2024/08/30/small-town-firefighters-sawed-through-arizona-border-wall-to-rescue-an-injured-man-who-waited-24-hours-for-help/

After a fall off a 30-foot border wall east of Sasabe, a man waited about 24 hours for help until local firefighters sawed through the border wall so first responders could transport him to the hospital in Tucson.

Tangye Beckham, fire chief of the Arivaca Fire District, said that after hours of delays in the remote area and no alternative method for giving the man the care he needed, she ordered the border wall to be cut so he could be pulled through and taken for medical care on the U.S. side.

RFK Jr. will stay on some swing state ballots despite dropping out of race

Although he filed to run in Kentucky after dropping out? This is so confusing. I don't think Kamala would win Kentucky, although they have a Democratic governor.

And supposedly he was withdrawing from the swing states to help Trump?

Update - Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 RFK Jr. must stay on the ballot, meaning Kennedy can’t remove himself from a majority of the 7 battleground swing states where he says he’d hurt Trump’s chances.

NEW: In dropping his presidential bid, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he'd seek to remove his name from about 10 battleground state ballots, but an NPR review finds it is likely not possible in certain states.

Dear MAGA:

Remember that Bannon project from like 18 months ago when he thought recruiting RFK JR to run as a Dem, to attempt to ratfk the Biden campaign?

Well, because RFK JR I’d an Infowars-level conspiracy theorist and *hurts Trump in the polling*

Now, he’s “all behind Trump”, as if he wasn’t from the beginning (LMAO).

Now, y’all can’t get him off the ballot

Kamala Harris can win all the swing states and still lose

Don't panic!

If you look closely at the map, you'll understand the intentions of "Nikolaj".

Hint: Look closely at the emojis after the his name. But people on "both sides" think he is serious.

Kamala Harris has raised $540M since launching her Presidential campaign

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/harris-raises-540-million-since-launching-her-presidential-campaign-2024-08-25/

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Democrat Kamala Harris has raised $540 million in little more than a month since she began her race for U.S. president, with a surge of donations flowing in during the Democratic National Convention last week, her campaign said on Sunday.

A memo released by Harris' campaign manager, Jen O'Malley Dillon, said the $540 million raised included $82 million that came in during convention week and is a sign of Democratic enthusiasm for her candidacy.

Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr. (D-NJ) dies at 87

He was so feisty and didn't care if the Republicans got mad at him!

Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
@BillPascrell
It is with deep sadness that we announce that Bill Pascrell Jr., our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away this morning. As our United States Representative, Bill fought to his last breath to return to the job he cherished and to the people he loved. Bill lived his entire life in Paterson and had an unwavering love for the city he grew up in and served. He is now at peace after a lifetime devoted to our great nation America.

Bernie Sanders Interviewing punk rockers at a mall in 1988

The sound quality isn't the greatest, but you can turn on the closed-captioning.

He was interviewing young people at the Burlington Square Mall.

Here is the full video:

The Trump campaign sure has that "Hitler in the bunker" energy these days.
