"The past 24 hours seem to have been a dividing line in the Trump campaign ... and in Trump. He went from being periodically adrift and sporadically demented to being 24/7 unfit and in need of permanent medical attention. He's one cloudless night away from baying at the moon.” -- journalist David Rothkopf

Long but really good article in Scientific American on NASA's Europa mission, which will seek to confirm whether conditions conducive to life exist on this moon of Jupiter. The author has a neat personal connection to the mission.

Harris: The reason Trump says he would end that war within 24 hours is that he would just give it up (and make Ukraine do the same). #Debate

Trump's account of the Afghanistan withdrawal is utter fiction, and all the moderators can say is "President Trump, thank you." Jesus wept. #Debate

Harris: These dictators support you because they know you can be manipulated ... and you're weak and wrong. #Debate

There hasn't been as much talk lately about Project 2025, but it's still out there and still dangerous. For my fellow North Carolinians, here's a 2-page fact sheet on just how dangerous for NC Project 2025 would be. https://www.americanprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/Project-2025s-Plan-To-Gut-Checks-and-Balances-Harms-North-Carolina.pdf

#OTD in 1945, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb on Japan, striking the city of Nagasaki. Coupled with the attack on Hiroshima three days previously, the attack persuaded Japan to announce on Aug. 14 that it would surrender. Formal surrender occurred on Sept. 2, 1945, thus ending, after six years and one day, the deadliest war in history. 70 million soldiers, sailors, and airmen took part, more than 1 in 4 were killed, and including civilians, total deaths topped 50 million.

NBC: Witnesses are saying that at least the first shots came from outside the Secret Service perimeter, apparently from an elevated location.

@br00t4c Worthless.

"For all practical purposes, today's decision virtually means that there are no limits on what the president can do. ... The only limits would be self-imposed by the president alone." -- Biden

"It is about an imperial court constructing an imperial presidency." -- MSNBC analyst and law prof Melissa Murray on the SCOTUS immunity decision.

O'Donnell: (Harris) just became more important to this campaign than she was yesterday. Her abortion response was the kind of thing people were hoping for from Biden.

If you've got bad news you need to bury, hit send on that news release NOW.

@inthehands Great article, although this was already true of Republicans long before Trump descended his golden escalator like a half a ton of manure being lowered by a freight elevator. @mybarkingdogs

@br00t4c Interesting how none of the news outlets reporting on this pointed out that Greene started it by saying something racist.

@thehill As usual, Nancy is pitching wisdom. Debating Trump will be like playing chess with a monkey. The monkey will knock all the pieces off the table, take a big, steaming shit on the board, and then walk off acting like he has won.

@georgetakei Right. One of my proudest achievements as a parent was training my toddlers to run all manner of errands for me so that I did not have to leave the couch.
