Democrats see Harris as boosting their chances for House majority

...Coming out of the party’s national convention in Chicago last week, a long list of lawmakers said the eleventh-hour roster change has led to a flood of new volunteers, a spike in campaign fundraising and a burst of new energy among base voters, all lending new hope that they’ll win back control of the lower chamber next year.

Can you feel it? There's a blue wave gaining energy out there - and when it hits, it's going to be massive. - adgirlMM

Will The Media Fairly Treat Kamala For Their Uptick In Ratings Due To Her? Of Course Not.

Vice President Kamala Harris is proving to be a ratings magnet, overshadowing even former President Donald Trump in the race for media attention through the campaign season...According to Semafor, Washington Post CEO Will Lewis recently revealed in an internal memo that the paper has seen a notable surge in subscriptions over the past month. This uptick is largely attributed to the increased interest in stories about Harris. The memo underlines a broader trend across major news outlets, with Harris-related content outpacing Trump stories in driving reader engagement.

And just like that, all media outlets stopped talking about the age and mental capacity of presidential candidates. - Kenny Akers

Former President Donald Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday morning to mark the third anniversary of the Kabul airport attack that killed 13 U.S. service members.

63 Americans were killed in Afghanistan under the Trump administration, 13 were killed under the Biden administration while leaving Afghanistan.

Ohio Is Gonna Lose A LOT Of State Taxes Due To Fraud. And They'll Deserve It If They Pass This Bill.

 An Ohio lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow parents to claim “conceived children” as dependents on their state income taxes.

Rep. Gary Click (R-Vickery) recently introduced House Bill 654, or the Strategic Tax Options for Raising Kids (STORK) Act, which would allow Ohioans to include embryos or fetuses conceived during the taxable year as dependents. If a taxpayer and their spouse file separate returns, only the expecting mother can claim the embryo or fetus. The bill would apply to taxable years ending on or after Jan. 1, 2025.
