Here is the story of Baltimore's Key Bridge disaster as told by people who lived it. A husband’s last kiss as he left for work. A phone ringing and ringing in the dark. The snow of concrete dust on the river and the groan of broken steel in the current: thebaltimorebanner.com/community/tran…

With Biden out of the race, the politics of age have been turned on their head. After last week's rambling child care answer and other incoherent comments, Trump will be the one tested in tomorrow's debate to demonstrate that he is still up to the job. nytimes.com/2024/09/09/us/…

Great deep dive by the terrific reporters @PhillyInquirer into the dynamics that will determine PA’s 19 electoral votes. Bottom line: white working class urban and urban voters of color are the swing voters in ‘24. inquirer.com/politics/elect…

“The older you get, the more Republican you tend to be. The opposite is true among Black voters – the older Black voters get, the more loyal they are to Harris. We haven’t seen that in other battleground states where seniors are more in play.” ajc.com/politics/a-new…

To be clear: The Uncommitted leaders asked to meet with the VP to discuss their demand for an arms embargo. They said she was open to meeting with them, not that she was open to an arms embargo.
Phil Gordon Archived@PhilGordon46
.@VP has been clear: she will always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups. She does not support an arms embargo on Israel. She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law.
