    Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

    There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:


    She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

    She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

    This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



    To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

    Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

    It is rare for Cabinet members to not support the president they served. They are normally some of a president’s most loyal supporters.

    But in the case of Trump’s Cabinet, these uniquely qualified insiders — spanning from the vice president and chiefs of staff to more than a dozen agencies, such as Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland Security and Transportation — are deeply divided about whether he should return to power.

    Some such as former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley spoke at the Republican National Convention, where Trump secured his party’s presidential nomination, while others like his former vice president Mike Pence were notably absent.

    Pence has been publicly critical of Trumpand told The Washington Post that he does not support his candidacy.

    In total, The Post reached out to all 42 members of Trump’s Cabinet, asking each of them whether they supported his presidential bid. Twenty responded. Twenty-two didn’t, but we were able to determine through public statements that nine of them backed Trump’s candidacy and two didn’t.

    When asked for comment, Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign national press secretary, told The Post in a statement that “President Trump has unified and strengthened the Republican Party more than ever before and is supported by nearly every single GOP leader and elected official, including most of his former cabinet and staff.”

    Here’s a look at where the 42 stand:…..

    For what it’s worth
    ==============

    There’s a well-documented partisan divide in pet ownership: while dogs are more popular overall, liberals are disproportionately likely to own cats, while conservatives tend to be dog people.

    There’s been some debate over what’s behind the split — urban/rural differences? Household income? Gender?

    New peer-reviewed research points to another cause: conservatives hold strong anti-cat biases, likely stemming from cats’ disregard for social hierarchies, their general lack of loyalty, and their refusal to submit to authority. Those characteristics are at odds with certain principles conservatives tend to hold dear……

    They found that differences in pet preferences were driven primarily by conservatives’ views toward cats: it’s not that conservatives like dogs, per se, but rather that they don’t like cats. These findings held for both stated and implied preferences.

    “Although people across the political spectrum show a greater liking for dogs overall, the authors explain, “those who tend to be more conservative show less of an explicit liking for cats and have a stronger liking for dogs relative to cats.”

    They found some evidence that the trend is particularly pronounced among authoritarian conservatives: those with a preference for “law and order” and an intolerance for deviance had especially negative views of cats, who are famously dismissive of rules and authority.…….

    There is something real to that.

    We have a new family of cats in our neighborhood. They are clearly liberal cats. Here's my neighbors trail camera giving us a second glimpse of our newest family of neighborhood cats.

    They are a bit shy. I know she's out there because she leaves signs of passage I can see and read, but I've not seen her with my own eyes yet:
