@GlobalFoundries and @commercegov have announced an award of up to $1.5 billion in direct funding: capitalregionchamber.com/new…
The award will support three projects that, in aggregate, represent more than $13 billion of investment over the next 10-plus years across GF’s two U.S. sites. Combined, these investments are expected to create close to 1,000 direct manufacturing jobs and more than 9,000 construction jobs over the life of these projects.

Was there. Epic show including soundcheck of “Who’ll Stop the Rain?” Which promptly stopped the rain. Tremendous show and legendary venue.

By investing in GF’s domestic manufacturing capabilities, we are helping to secure a stable domestic supply of chips that are found in everything from home electronics to advanced weapons systems.

This is important. Voters didn’t vote against Kamala’s actual positions. They voted against the made up positions social media fed them. Reality is increasingly irrelevant to elections.

Trump picks incompetent loyalists for his Cabinet, and @CNN leads with "In Bold Move, Trump Picks Unorthodox Staff."
The media is the problem. They helped him get elected and they are covering for him now.

Amazing idea to break up an alliance that has kept the West safe for 80 years after two World Wars, and fulfill Putin’s lifelong dream, because the EU is being mean to Elon.

“To my Republican friends, my plea is straightforward: From Gettysburg to Omaha Beach to Selma, Ala., Americans have fought and bled and died so that we the people could seek to perfect our union – not so that an authoritarian showman-bully could turn our national project into his own fief.” Jon Meacham

“If you want to slow this economy down, you would vote for Donald Trump. Right now, as everyone knows, this economy is ripping. The stock market's doing well.”

Sec. Pete Buttigieg is a superb leader and communicator. We need many more like him and, for the sake of the nation, I hope he has a major role in a Harris administration and in public life for years to come.

“Oh, JD Vance, You just effed up in a way that I’ve never seen in my political life. And I worked for Sarah Palin.” - Nicole Wallace.
Good on you and even better on him. Well done and thank you.
Here's a story from canvassing today in Western North Carolina that is worth reading:
I went to a house somewhat off the beaten path. A woman around 40-years-old answered the door. I introduced myself, told her I lived about 25 minutes away, and told her I was out volunteering on behalf of Kamala Harris for president.
She told me that Kamala had her vote, but she's not sure about her husband, who is a lifelong Republican.
I asked if anything I might say to her husband could change his mind. She said she wasn't sure, probably not, and that he "comes from a family of hardcore Trumpers."
Right as I was saying "you never know," her husband comes outside.
He's the same age as her (and me).
Big old unkept beard. Tattoos up and down. Wearing a "protect the 2A" shirt that had some sort of big ass gun on it, and old baggy blue jeans.
He said, "What's all this about?"
I introduced myself to him. I told him I heard from his wife that he may be supporting Donald Trump and that's totally okay, but I'm curious why.
He told me he wasn't really sure, it's what his family has always done.
He asked me why I'm supporting Kamala Harris.
I told him about my views on taxation, abortion, and health care, and then also just the importance of having someone who wants to unite America and who is not a character-depraved asshole, which I think Donald Trump is.
He asked me why I think that of Trump. I told him about the racist remarks from the MSG rally, the pussy grabbing stuff, January 06, the signed bibles, and so on.
He looked me in the eye and said "You know what, you're right. I can't vote for that guy. He's a fucking piece of shit."
(This is verbatim, his words not mine.)
I thanked him for giving me the time of day. I wasn't going to press him any further.
As I was walking away, he said, "Hey."
I turned around and he put out his hand. As we shook hands, he looked me in the eye and said "I am going to vote for Kamala Harris."
His wife was almost tears. He seemed to be too. Truly. Like this big fucking weight was off this man's chest.
Needless to say, it was the highlight of my week.
It shows that people are decent. Yes, many people are low-information. But many are decent. And many people want what is best for America.
It's also a reason to keep knocking doors. There are more people like him out there 🇺🇸
