In an effort to target traditional Republican voters who are not part of the MAGA movement, the Harris campaign has announced the “Republicans For Harris” movement. The group has secured key endorsements from some high ranking republicans with a notable array of former Trump White House officials, including Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye. The group also includes former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood, as well as former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman. Additionally, it boasts support from former U.S. House members such as Rod Chandler, Tom Coleman, Dave Emery, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim Greenwood, Adam Kinzinger, John LeBoutillier, Susan Molinari, Jack Quinn, Denver Riggleman, Claudine Schneider, Christopher Shays, Peter Smith, Alan Steelman, David Trott, and Joe Walsh. Former GOP State Chair and State Senator Chris Vance is also among the endorsers, along with many others.

Rep. Andy Barr, promoting himself these days as a Christian David Ben-Gurion, has wasted little time playing the antisemite card against the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, proclaiming that her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate proves she is caving to the “pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party.”

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents.
