Remember ten days ago when Trump was almost assassinated?

What will the political landscape look like ten days from now?

Things are moving and moving fast.

Walter & Matt do the best breakdown of the last 24 or perhaps last 96 hours.

But as Matt wrote in his substack post today, "Who's Running the Country?"

WHO’S IN CHARGE? After Biden’s cryptic letter came out yesterday, a slew of elected Democrats, including rumored potential candidates like Gretchen Whitmer, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro, California’s Gavin Newsom, and both Bill and Hillary Clinton, all swiftly endorsed Harris. Harris instantly had her own campaign site, suggesting significant lead time and planning. Even JoeBiden.com immediately became a mirror to the Harris site, while Biden’s Twitter face page was refashioned to feature a Harris 2024 banner. For all the world, it looked as if the party had unanimously decided to throw its weight behind Kamala, and well before the weekend, too. However, Barack Obama did not endorse Harris, nor did Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, or Cory Booker. We’re being told in numerous press accounts by more “people familiar with the matter” that this is all a mere formality, and the party leaders are “firmly” and “without reservation” behind Kamala Harris. But are they? Some sources aren’t sure.

Although the top candidates seem to be publicly coalescing around Harris, I heard late last night this may be a temporary stance, held until the Democrats are sure Joe Biden’s $239 million war chest will transfer to Kamala’s hands without issue. The Republicans are preparing a legal challenge if Democrats attempt to pass on Biden’s cash, arguing the pair needed to be officially nominated before such a handoff could legally take place. “Biden can’t transfer his money to Harris because it was raised under his own name, and there is no legal mechanism,” said GOP lawyer Charlie Spies. Eugene Munin, a former General Counsel for the Chicago Transit Authority who’s worked on election law issues, said the status of the Biden funds represents a bit of a “gray area” legally. “I don’t think it’s definitive at all that she can just declare that she’s now a candidate for president and start spending that money as a candidate for president,” Munin says.

At least one Democratic consultant and several Republicans believe the fate of Harris is tied to two factors: how well the public responds to her in the next week or so, and whether or not the funds issue can be resolved quickly enough to allow her to begin aggressively advertising her candidacy. Despite the quick endorsements there have been signs of unease. Just this past Friday afternoon, Harris held a conference call for top donors to what was then still the Biden-Harris campaign. She showed up a half-hour late and said little except that they were going to win. “Everyone was pissed after the call,” one donor told the Washington Post, recalling the disastrous end of Harris’ 2020 run, also marked by internal frustrations about the future Vice President’s behavior (“I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly,” one Harris official wrote in a letter published by the New York Times). Rumors that have persisted since Biden’s own Hindenburg debate performance that top-level Democrats are less than thrilled with the prospect of a Harris run. The Times ran a long house editorial yesterday rejecting the idea of anointing Harris, hinting at electability issues and calling for a candidate to emerge from “process of public scrutiny” instead. Senior Democrats will watch to see how Kamala holds up under a few weeks of Internet fragging — millions are about to become introduced to the phrase “what can be, unburdened by what has been” — and then decide. How that decision is made, however, will tell us a lot about the question that matters more than anything right now: who’s America’s president right now? Obama? The Clintons? Politico’s “Why Biden Dropped Out”account claimed congressional leaders (“Chuck, Hakeem, Pelosi”) left the horse head in the president’s bed, while multiple Republican sources also pointed to Pelosi and Obama’s non-endorsements, reflecting a belief on the Trump side that the key to gauging Democratic strategy going forward will involve watching those two politicians. The only person we know for sure isn’t currently running things is Joe Biden.

But is Kamala about to get shanked in a week or two?

This is what the folks in my inbox don't seem to get.

As i noted earlier today, plenty of people behind closed doors don't think Kamala can win.

And it was less than a month ago that the Biden-Trump debate happened.

Things are moving fast folks.

Hold on to your seatbelts!

11, 12, 15 for book asks im so excited to hear!!!!!

thank u!!!! i will say i had a fairly bad/uninteresting reading year by standards (several of my most well-liked books I actually read for work, which is a little surprising lmao), but hopefully this is interesting to you. thank you for the ask <33333

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

My favorite book I read this year was Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov (the 1966 version). The reason why? I just really, really, really liked reading it. I basically didn't know anything about Nabokov's life (I had previously read Lolita and Pale Fire) so it was kind of interesting as an autobiography, reading his memories of growing up as an aristocrat, his family, being a Russian émigré, his education, writing, butterflies, whatever. And then -- I just think his prose is just. I don't know if I've ever read anything better. I thought because of the form, as an autobiography, where there's not idk a narrative in the same way as a novel, it did feel like you could really sit in the quality of the writing. I'm not normally someone who does that. But really, this was by far and away my favorite book I read this year and maybe one of my favorite books to physically have read ever.

12. Any books that disappointed you?

For sure...there were a couple books that had been on my mental "to-read" list because I'd heard the name/they are considered somewhat classic. I didn't particularly enjoy A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller Jr. I didn't go in with particularly high expectations but I knew it was a sort of famous science fiction classic. Blah blah blah reflections of the concerns of the age (nuclear war, church v state, etc). I know it's three short stories that have been mixed together but the structure didn't really work for me and I found it way more boring to read than I expected. Not a fan. I think you might really hate this one if you need a hateread on multiple levels lmao

In other works, The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck has to be one of the most disappointing Steinbeck books I've read. Heavyhanded, preoccupied with his own concerns of the time -- the novel was written to "address the moral degeneration of American culture during the 1950s and 1960s" like fuck off lmao -- moralizing, I don't know. I have had sort of a mixed bag reaction to Steinbeck's work and can often really enjoy the way he writes, but yeah. I get why this one is so heavily critiqued and a bit controversial. I didn't necessarily go in expecting really high things but I did not like it.

Apparently I read a lot of 1960s books this year apparently lol since so far we've talked 1966, 1959, and 1961. I will say I also didn't particularly enjoy The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang or Good for a Girl by Lauren Fleshman

15. Did you read any books that were nominated for or won awards this year (Booker, Women’s Prize, National Book Award, Pulitzer, Hugo, etc.)? What did you think of them?

I read Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky which won the James Beard Award apparently jfjf. I had to go through my list of books googling. I quite enjoyed Cod largely because it was connected to some of what I was doing for work. My copy was the original 1998 version though so definitely super out of date when it was like "this is what's happening now!" I'm sure discipline-specific people would have a fair few gripes about this book but I found it pretty fun to read and a good overview of cod populations, cod use around the world, cod regulations (and fights over them), and so on. In some ways, you can look at it and say yeah, this was written in the 90s. But I really did enjoy it a lot.

I also read Milkman by Anna Burns which won the 2018 Booker and 2018 National Book Award! It took me a little while to ease into it but I really, really did like this book. I will say I had a total misconception of what it was going in (I can't remember the name because it's another book I haven't read but? like? fairly new litfic book about really really really unpleasant lesbians maybe??). So I started reading and was like. wait. I really liked the way Burns writes. The lack of names and the individuality of characters was really impressive. The whole deal is about the politicization of everyday behaviors and I think she like. Portrayed that really well. I am maybe a poor reader in that I often don't remember specificities but I remember many from this book (carrying the dead cat head...yes.). I do often enjoy Booker winners.

Hello!! 15. Did you read any books that were nominated for or won awards this year (Booker, Women’s Prize, National Book Award, Pulitzer, Hugo, etc.)? What did you think of them?

Bishop Alexander Walters (August 1, 1858 – February 2, 1917) was born into an enslaved family in Bardstown, Kentucky, the sixth of eight children. By the age of ten, he had shown such academic progress that he was awarded by the African Episcopal Zion Church a full scholarship to attend private schooling. In 1877, he received his license to preach and began his pastoral duties in Indianapolis, Indiana. In his career as a pastor, Walter served in cities across the country including Louisville, San Francisco, Portland (Oregon), Chattanooga, Knoxville, and New York. In 1892, as a minister at the Seventh District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, he was selected as bishop.

In 1898, he began to devote his attention to the ongoing African American civil rights struggle. In partnership with T. Thomas Fortune, the editor of the New York Age, he founded the National Afro-American Council and served as its president. This organization focused primarily on challenging racially discriminatory legislation and in particular the “separate but equal” Plessy vs. Ferguson U.S. Supreme Court ruling. He challenged Booker T. Washington’s ideas of accommodation to segregation and discrimination.

In partnership with W.E.B DuBois, he was a member of the 1908 Niagara Movement from which he helped in organizing the founding conference of the NAACP. He became vice president of the NAACP in 1911. He declined an invitation by President Woodrow Wilson to be a minister (ambassador) to Liberia to prompt AMEZ Church education programs in the US.

Until his death, he continued to remain active in his leadership of AMEZ Church affairs and maintained his devoted support as a formidable civil rights advocate of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

His first wife, Katie Knox Walters, died in 1896; his second wife, Emeline Virginia Byrd Walters, died in 1902. He was survived by his third wife, Lelia Coleman Walters. The couple’s son, Hillis Walters, was an actor and composer. His most successful composition was the song “Pass Me By” (1946), with lyrics by Mercer Ellington. It was recorded by Lena Horne, Carmen McRae, and Peggy Lee. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

[lboogie1906]

The American Negro Academy was the first organization in the US to support African-American academic scholarship. It operated from 1897 to 1928 and encouraged classical academic studies and liberal arts. It was formed to provide support to classic scholarship, in contrast to Booker T. Washington's approach to education at Washington's Tuskegee University where vocational and industrial training for southern African Americans was emphasized. Washington thought these areas of study were more practical for the lives most would live in the segregated South, where most African Americans lived in rural areas. The founders of the ANA were primarily authors, scholars, and artists. They included Alexander Crummell, an Episcopal priest and Republican from NYC; John Wesley Cromwell DC; Paul Laurence Dunbar, poet and writer in DC; Walter B. Hayson, and Kelly Miller. Crummell served as the first president. Their first meeting on March 5, 1897, included eighteen members: Blanche K. Bruce, Levi J. Coppin, William H. Crogman, John Wesley Cromwell, Dr. Alexander Crummell, W.E.B DuBois, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, William H. Ferris, Francis J. Grimké Ph.D., Benjamin F. Lee, Kelly Miller, William S. Scarborough, John H. Smythe, Theophilus G. Steward, T. McCants Stewart, Benjamin Tucker Tanner, Robert Heberton Terrell, Richard R.
