Just so you know, this is not an ad but a Fox News clip. Seriously.

Don Winslow – talking about Pennsylvania, but equally applicable to other states with simiar economies (and I’d bet good money that THIS Don has Bruce’s permisson, even blessing.) Some find it needs a hanky warning.

Meidas Touch just releaseed three (four if you count the Spanish version of one of them as a seperate video). I managed to pick one.

Really American

Sound and Fury for the Democratic Coalition posted two, both veery good.

Keith had four short ones today – I’d posted them all in order, but he took the three shorter ones down (they were shorter versions of parts of the long one anyway), so I took them down also.

Aaaaaw.

Deliberately, obviously doctored Biden ad responding to doctired Trump sd …

American Bridge

Don Winslow

Meidas Touch

Sound and Fury Messaging has two –

The Lincoln Project has two (it must be close to the election. Well, my ballot is in the mail today because yesterday was a federal holiday.)

Robert Reich – From his studio, or wherever he creates, to God’s screen. I’m not picky about how we do it (except that our methods should hild up legally), but we must do something – if we win – and this is why this election is so important!

And I’m even saving a couple, hoping for a slower day. But I can’t leave Keith out.

Meidas Touch

Lincoln Project – No CC – Transcript does not include sarcasm, so feel free to supply your own.

Thank you, Mr. President, for taking off the mask. Thank you for threatening America with violence when you lose, [and?] that only yout votes are counted. And for trying to rig this election and intimidate voters. For embracing the tactics of the tyrants you admire, and trying to use those tactics against the American people. Thank you for showing the American people exactly who and what you are. Because we’re perfectyly aware that you aren’t joking and you aren’t trolling any more. The future you and your pet Senators want is just as [unintelligible] as yours, but your time is running out. Your legacy and your place in history awaits – a legacy of failing – a blight on our history. Defeat is coming. Accountability is coming. We are coming.

Kamala Harris opening statement at Barrett hearing (actually starts at 0:42 and goes to 10:49). A little echo-ey, but there is CC.

You can pretty consistently count on Amy Klobuchar to give it straight.

And, of course, Keith.

Randy Rainbow and Patti LuPone fundraising for the ACLU

Meidas Touch – Strange … but effective.

Really American (This one is today’s hanky alert)

RVAT new ad, not new info …

The Lincoln Project

Keith is late today, or else he is skipping a day. I’ll keep checking back, but as I said, if lateness occurs, there’s always the next day. Update – Yes, he was about 45 minutes late.

Supreme Court petition updates
In case you haven’t noticed, Daily Kos has multiple petitions (and is making more) on the Supreme Court, each with a different theme. By signing all, we can at least distract Republican Senators’ staffs.

Yesterday in history – Oct. 5, 1988

From the Biden campaign – no CC, but about Joe saving lives by getting funding for mine resistant vehicles

Sound and Fury Messaging – very short but right to the point.

Two from The Lincoln Project

Get ready to snicker …

“Do you know what a secret de polichinelle is?” – Hercule Poirot.  It is a ‘secret” which is known to all. No one ever talks about it, so anyone who for some reason doesn’t know it, never learns it.

UPDATE:  Yes, I know Keith Olbermann returns to politics tomorrow (October 7), and yes, I will be featuring him – if I am too late on any given day, i will catch up the next.

From the Biden campaign (hanky alert)

I’ve been waiting for this – Jim Carrey as Joe.  And Maya Rudolph as Kamala.

Slow otherwise, so here …

Beau on bothsiderism. And common sense. And IMO all the stronger for being in some ways weak.

I’m pretty sure everyone here is well aware of this. But not everyone is. And let me be quick to say that we will not need just a victory lap but also a break of some kind. But only a break.

From the Biden campaign

Eleven Films – I put CC on but so much of what’s not already on the screen is just noise…

Beau on why we should hope Trump* survives at least through November 3rd.

Texas today – elsewhere tomorrow. The ink reference is to Iraq.

There are other readings of this available. The backstory seems all too appropriate. You can argue whether to change it to orange or leave it as red. (It’s longish.  If you want to just read it, it’s here.)
