Politico: “In the most competitive 94 districts, Democrats have booked over $177 million in ads since Sept. 1, while their GOP opponents have booked $93 million.”

“Republican outside groups have partly made up the difference, but the party is still bracing for a string of defeats next month.”

"If polling is accurate and former vice president Joe Biden wins handily next week, we can look forward to some very big changes: competent Cabinet officials, coherent policy initiatives, respect for the Constitution, a foreign policy that favors democracies rather than brutal dictatorships and depoliticization of the Justice Department, to name just a few.

But apart from concrete policy, we can also look forward to a host of things that we once took for granted:
White House news releases without typos, weird punctuation and other glaring errors.

Official documents that read like official documents in tone and that come out by email or hard copy, as opposed to tweets.

The absence of childish name-calling, insults, racist remarks, gaffes characterized as “jokes” and singling out of individual companies simply because they failed to boost the president’s ego.

A White House press shop that earns the presumption of trustworthiness until proven otherwise and — at worst — relies on “I don’t know” or vague evasion rather than outright lies.

News conferences in which the president does not personally insult members of the media, exclude them for writing things he does not like or dub them “the enemy of the people.”

Presidential interviews with respected news figures, not sycophantic media personalities.

A normal presidential schedule in which hours of TV time are not built in.

No more Stalinesque Cabinet meetings in which officials try to top one another in fawning over the president.

A president who communicates directly with the leaders of the House and Senate.

An administration that knows climate change is real and that more intense forest fires don’t result merely from insufficient sweeping of the forest floor.

An engaged first lady who takes up important public causes with tangible results.

An administration without relatives working in the White House.

A president who does not make money from funneling attention and revenue to his holdings.

No judicial nominee who is rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association.

An administration in which “Infrastructure Week” is about infrastructure.

A president who can comfort the nation in times of tragedy
.
A president who does not use the military as props.

Our Democracy in Peril: A series on the damage Trump has caused — and the danger he would pose in a second term

A president who has some basic grasp of American history, including racial injustice.

A president whose advisers are not overwhelmingly White men.

No presidential awards for political hacks, contributors and toxic media figures.

A president who never utters the phrases “red state” or “blue city.”

A White House counsel’s office that at least tries to get it right by providing advice in accord with the Constitution and statutes and polices unethical conduct.

An administration that favors easy access to voting.

Policy pronouncements issued only after consideration by relevant experts and departments.

A president who does not celebrate police brutality or excuse war crimes.

A president who does not embarrass us on the world stage.

A president who knows that there are no NATO “dues” and consumers pay for tariffs.

A president who understands the benefits of forward deployments and alliances.

A president who does not encourage Chinese detention camps or defend the human rights record of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un."

“President Trump bashed Fox News repeatedly on Tuesday, agitated that the network was airing a campaign speech from former President Obama,” The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “I only saw he was on Fox. And Fox puts him on all the time, and they put sleepy Joe on all the time. What they should do is they should show the picture of sleepy Joe yesterday when he rushed to Pennsylvania because he saw that I had 25,000 people at each event.”

He added: “Fox, Fox is very disappointing… This would not have happened with Roger Ailes, I can tell you that.”

Girls see how Trump and his enablers treat women. And they're watching to see what we'll do about it.

Let's choose leaders who will encourage girls to pursue their dreams, slay dragons, and lead countries! Let's choose leaders like Kamala Harris, RBG, and Joe Biden.

“These significant alterations, which run the risk of effectively neutering disparate impact liability under the Fair Housing Act, appear inadequately justified,” wrote Judge Mark Mastroianni of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in an opinion filed Sunday.
