The National Pulse Recent shifts in the few reliable polls in key districts and swing states show that hard-pressed Americans are decisively rejecting the phony “politics of joy” and the empty promises that define the Harris campaign. People are seeing through the word salad rhetoric, recognizing it for what it is: hollow. To date, the Harris campaign has offered no real solutions to the struggles Americans face: inflation, rising crime, and weakening national security. These topics can’t be masked by feel-good phrases, celebrity endorsements, or as many Oprah interviews as you want. Harris has peaked. The momentum is now on our side, and this is the time to capitalize on it. READ THE FULL STORY                   

NBC Montana   Legal group America First Legal on Thursday announced it is suing a Colorado school district for retaliating against an employee who expressed views about the U.S. during a diversity training. The Cherry Creek School District allegedly violated the employee’s First Amendment rights when it “pressured him to embrace race-based ideologies” through a required diversity training. The employee during that training allegedly responded to a question about being White by saying he “identifies as an American who believes the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.” Cherry Creek’s equity director allegedly reported these comments to the school principal as having “racist undertones.” The district later eliminated the employee’s position, citing “budgetary reasons,” America First Legal claims.

The Hill   North Carolina’s State Board of Elections has removed 747,000 people from its list of registered voters within the last 20 months, officials announced Thursday in a press release.

CBS News President Biden’s administration is planning to soon issue a regulation to cement the sweeping asylum restrictions it enacted at the southern border over the summer, two U.S. officials told CBS News, describing changes that would make it far less likely for the strict rules to be lifted in the near future. In June, Mr. Biden issued a proclamation suspending the entry of most migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. The Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department implemented his directive by enacting a rule that has virtually shut down asylum processing between official border entry points. After the stringent measures took effect, illegal border crossings plunged to a four-year low. The administration is planning to announce changes to the regulation as early as Monday to implement an amended proclamation, said the U.S. officials, who requested anonymity to discuss internal government plans.

The Associated Press Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was disbarred in Washington on Thursday, months after he lost his law license in New York for pursuing false claims that then-President Donald Trump made about his 2020 presidential election loss. The brief ruling from Washington D.C.’s appeals court said Giuliani did not respond to an order to explain why he should not be disbarred in Washington after he was in New York last summer. Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Giuliani, called the decision “an absolute travesty and a total miscarriage of justice.” Giuliani has argued that he believed the claims he was making on behalf of the Trump campaign were true.
