Where is the conversation about Adam for VP? Has he endorsed her yet (he had already endorsed Biden, so I assume he would endorse Harris)? I hear all the other names mentioned but his. He should sit down with Kamala and have a heart to heart conversation, mend fences if needed, and offer his full support. They can then talk about issues that they have in common and the possibilities of a true "Unity" ticket, in stark contrast to how Trump said he would unify the country and then went back to his more familiar divisive rhetoric.

Adam should be Kamala’s VP pick. Out of the box solution, adds national security cred and grabs media attention. Adam would cream Vance in a debate.

In all the talk about mass deportations and concentration camps, I hadn't remembered Elian Gonzalez. Here's the Pulitzer Prize winning photo of the Feds taking Elian into custody:

Here's a challenge: take a look at the terrified expression on his face and try to keep your composure

Attention Democratic campaign: THIS is the look of "mass deportations".

Re guns and age, like it or not, the 2nd Amendment is an EXPLICIT ENUMERATED RIGHT. The kind of right in which Justices Thomas and Alito at least are going to rub everyone's noses. As such a RIGHT, if you're old enough to vote, you're old enough to engage in mass murder with firearms.

American exceptionalism!

In contrast, there's no enumerated right to buy inebriating beverages or tobacco, so age limits NBD to this Supreme Court.

American exceptionalism!!

So-called common sense has NOTHING to do with current US jurisprudence.

How about a Harris-Kinzinger ticket?

Biden needs to step down after he recovers from covid. How many signs do you need man? At this point he seems like he's being just as narcissistic as trump with his "I alone can defeat him" BS. I alone can hold NATO together like fool wtg you talking bout? Dems have such a deep bench and the biden team has destroyed their chances at exactly the worst time imaginable.

When might we get any updates on whether Merrick Garland re files the documents case? It's a fed case, why not just call Aileen's bluff and hammer down in DC?

I was wondering what people in communities would do if Trump was elected and these 'mass deportations' started to happen. So I looked back to 2018. https://rosemary.substack.com/p/when-they-come-for-your-neighbours

I don’t question the assassination attempt. I also believe there is NO place for violence of any kind, including rhetorical. It was a sad, horrific event.

The recent article from PBS gives a clear view of Trump as he left the stage. If you zoom in on his ear, there is no hole, it doesn’t even seem he lost a chunk of ear. The wound doesn’t look any worse than a scraped knee. The gauze is still there to draw attention and sympathy. He’s a showman, he understands the reaction the gauze will evoke.

Our candidate should call him and his sinister movement DARK MAGA and then pivot to portraying America’s Bright Future.

Tim, so good to see you looking like yourself again, and hearing you sounding hopeful. While I just haven't been able to bring myself to watch all the pods since the debate, many of the ones w/ you have made my heart ache b/c you looked so deflated - the way I've felt. I kept thinking that you've devoted years of your life to beating TFG, and this is the best we (Dems) can do??? And I've wondered how Biden could have such an obviously incredible staff for running the country, but an apparently inept campaign staff.

Adam, bought your book when it came out and always enjoy hearing what you have to say. Love your passion for Ukraine; and always learn something when you talk about military stuff.

Both of you goofs: look at a photo of a coconut tree; it's a PALM, it doesn't have LIMBS, it has an often-curved trunk w/ a crown of fronds! 🤪

Sadly I have friends on the left who are pushing out conspiracy theories around the shooting.

Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are made for Walking" sounds appropriate for Trump's Revenge tour.

Nancy Sinatra might have something to say about that. She is not a Trump fan.

I liked Tim's take; the index card/bandage sponsored by My Pillow.

People keep pushing Kamala Harris to replace Biden, but this will be perceived by voters as more of the same.

Voters around the world are punishing whoever was in charge during inflation (e.g. UK going left, France going far right and far left). A Harris candidacy would be perceived as a continuation of the Biden presidency, asking to be re-elected when voters want a clean break from the inflation era.

For Democrats to win they need a candidate who is likable and seems plausible as a president. How about Gina Raimondo, or obviously any one of the governors of Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Colorado?

First off great show! Adam, Liz and Cassidy are true modern day heros! Tim, I want to expound on something you said. I’m not a conspiracy theorist so this has nothing to do with that. I just find it very odd that with an attempted assassination of a former president that there was not one press conference by an attending physician or even a hospital spokesperson. That just does not seem right. Would I believe that trump’s bandage is a prop? Sure I could believe that. Is it a prop? I have no idea. I picture that once trump was treated and stabilized everyone in that hospital was up to their eyeballs in NDAs.
