If you read the NYT recap, it looks like he's making reasonable policy objections to the Bloomberg EIC. (Surprise, surprise) Nothing about his Google answer, for example.

New York has it. It was a slow roll-out, because the state tried to give licenses to folks who have been negatively affected by prohibition (that part isn't going so well, I don't think). But there are at least 3 state licensed dispensaries in Ithaca now.

Can you tell us (or me, rather) what this means? Is it good or bad for Harris?

I hadn't seen this video before. Some of the videos posted were different, and showed a far emptier arena. But whatever, I'll take all the empty seats I can get!

There were a lot of people sharing a crowd shot from the Reading rally that was posted by KamalaHQ. But it became clear that the shot was taken either before the rally began or after it was over. The rally was actually quite full.

Gonna reup this again, because it's so important. Harris raised a billion bucks. She doesn't need your cash, nor do Senators, but lots of downballot folks, whose votes are super-important, do need your money!

NEW: As executions speed up nationwide, Alabama is experimenting with using nitrogen gas. It just did the 2nd such execution, ever. The state insists this is "more humane." But our reporter Lauren Gill witnessed it, & saw that it went catastrophically. boltsmag.org/alabama-nitr...

“Agony” and “Suffering” as Alabama Experiments with Nitrogen Executions
“Agony” and “Suffering” as Alabama Experiments with Nitrogen Executions

The state said Alan Miller’s execution by lethal gas would be “more humane.” He writhed and gasped for air in his final moments.
