"The United Houma Nation, the largest #Indigenous tribe in #Louisiana, has secured a $56.5 million grant to enact a massive plan to deal with growing climate risks that tribal leaders hope will serve as a model, ranging from infrastructure improvements to potential relocations.

The grant to fund the hazard mitigation and resilience plan was announced at a press conference in Houma on Friday organized by the tribe. The money is being awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Department of Commerce.

Over the next five years, tribal members and partnering organizations will build resilience hubs across the six-parish tribal area, expand a disaster-ready communication network and ultimately establish a community-led migration plan. The plan is designed to create stronger infrastructure and enhance the short, medium and long term needs of the tribe’s 19,000 citizens."

Kamala Harris and her husband maintain a largely low-risk portfolio of assets, including passive investments and cash.

They have millions in index funds and have a 2.625% mortgage, per WSJ.

Fearing another Trump term, more than 40 former Justice Department officials — have signed onto a letter endorsing Vice President Harris.

Signatories include: former AG Loretta Lynch, former deputy AGs Sally Yates, David Ogden and Jamie Gorelick, and John McKay, who was appointed as a top federal prosecutor in Washington state during the George W. Bush administration, among others. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/justice-department-endorse-kamala-harris-fear-trump-rcna163069

J.D. Vance Proposed 'Federal Response' to Stop Women Traveling for Abortions


Kamala Harris is zeroing in on comments J.D. Vance made back when he was running for Senate ... grousing about women -- especially Black women -- flying around the country to get abortions.

Vance appeared in 2022 on Aimee Terese's "Very Fine People" podcast, and said there needed to be a ban on abortion, because leaving it to the states would allow women to travel to parts of the country where abortion is still legal.

He gave an example ... “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately Black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity.”

The Harris campaign posted the podcast audio and her supporters are going wild in the comments.

Vance has been as hard-lined as you can get on the abortion issue, comparing it to slavery -- and, on the podcast, he says there should be some "federal response" to prevent the hypothetical Soros scenario he raised.

Why stop at state lines? He'd want us to have permission to go out our own front door. Or anywhere out of his sight, really.
and by "his" I mean likeminded men who have a pathological need to own other humans

Axelrod: Trump ‘pretty substantial favorite’ over Harris


“I still rate him a, you know, pretty substantial favorite in this race just because of the electoral challenges,” Axelrod said Tuesday on his “Hacks on Tap” podcast.

The podcast hosts lauded President Biden’s decision to suspend his campaign. Biden announced Sunday that he would step aside, endorsing Harris, who is on track to become the Democratic Party’s nominee.

After the announcement, Axelrod said Biden’s decision was “sad” but “necessary.” He had been one of the more prominent Democratic voices calling on Biden to suspend his campaign.

weird, Rump is the favorite?
that seems odd since in general polling Harris is up by at least 2 points over Rump, and more like 4 points if RFK is included.

and the most recent polling in New Hampshire has her up by 10 points over the orange shitstain.

Methinks Axelrod needs to pull his head outta Rump's ass

He’s a criminal; she’s a prosecutor.
He’s a fucking moron; she’s acutely intelligent.
He’s a White nationalist; she’s a person of color.
He’s an insurrectionist; she’s a defender of democracy.
