Talking Points Morning Memo

The Harris Enthusiasm Train Continues

The “honeymoon” Trump’s pollster warned of yesterday continues unabated.

From a memo the campaign sent out this morning:

“As of Tuesday evening, Team Harris has raised $126 million since the endorsement.”

“Over 1.4 million grassroots donors made donations since Sunday afternoon, 64% of whom made their first contribution of the 2024 cycle.”

“Since Sunday afternoon, over 100,000 volunteers have signed up to join the campaign.”

“In Nevada, volunteers literally showed up at field offices on Sunday asking to help and 2,500 Pennsylvanians signed up to volunteer, 4x our previous biggest day.”

Relatedly, Vote.org saw its biggest spike of the election cycle after Biden dropped out, with most of the new voter registrations coming from people 18-34.

So apparently if Brie Larson dresses up sexily, it's because her movie flopped. But if Brie Larson dressed modestly inside said movie, then her modest outfit is supposed to be why it flopped? Do you guys want women to be modest or not. Please make up your minds.

Martin Scorsese says the combination of ‘BARBIE’ and ‘OPPENHEIMER’ was something special.

“It does offer some hope for a different cinema to emerge, different from what's been happening in the last 20 years.”

I like to think of Pixal's hair as just being metal springs actually.

But I can't decide if she has stiffer coils like this:

Or straight up slinkys (slinkies?):

The Color Purple being the one musical movie within the past few years to actually be successful at the box office is SO well deserved. It’s such an incredible movie that I really really really want to watch again!

Can not stress enough the value of having physical copies of photos in your home. First thing we did at our apartment was put up a gallary wall and we've been adding a few more pictures over time and it's so nice. Really lovely reminder of the people we love and who love us.
