“It was election night for me as well. It was incredibly bittersweet. When I took the stage for my acceptance speech — to represent California in the Senate — I tore up my notes. I just said, ‘We will fight.’ Then I went home and I sat on the couch with a family-sized bag of nacho Doritos. I did not share one chip with anybody. Not even [second gentleman] Doug [Emhoff]. I just watched the TV with utter shock and dismay.Two things are true eight years later: I still love Doritos and we still have not stopped fighting.”
– Vice Pres. Kamala Harris in an Aug. 16, 2024, fundraising letter. Her mention of Dorito’s has, predictably, triggered right-wing outrage.
“Only a genius chess-master Jedi wizard would do a conference call on a dying app with a South African vampire and, after a 40-minute technical delay, brag about how awesome it is to fire people during a campaign where the number-one issue is jobs.”
“Let me tell you what our Project 2025 is … Beat the hell out of them.”

“The nickname game has been a staple of former President Trump’s campaigns — from Little Marco to Ron DeSanctimonious, his monikers made headlines. … But now, as the former president struggles to shift his messaging toward a new Democratic foe, he’s tried to launch a variety of labels for Vice President Kamala Harris — but they don’t seem to be sticking.”
“Donald Trump’s extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com. Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself — self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”
-Statement released by Harris-Walz 2024 spokesperson Joseph Costello after Donald Trump’s unhinged interview with Elon Musk.
“Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is … kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.”

“I can’t wait to debate the guy. That is, if he’s willing to get off his couch and show up.”
