First time I’ve looked at that Twitter page, but every tweet is about political ads so it looks reputable to me.
AdImpact is a reputable ad intelligence company that tracks political advertising/content/spending. They have competitors like Kantar/MediaRadar.

They don’t ostensibly have a political leaning, but I don’t know much about the people who run it.

Team Trump looking to flip the PR disaster into a Deplorables moment for Harris campaign.

It’s not a power play. Rogan has the #1 podcast in the world - and he doesn’t ever travel to do his show. Trump, and now JD, are making the investment. The Harris campaign didn’t ask other podcast hosts to come to her.

And it’s worth the investment, even if it took a full day. What’s better, a rally of 5-20k people who are already voting for you, or 30M views on the number one podcast with a simpleton audience (as you guys would probably put it) that could be swayed?

She’s had weeks to make it work. If it doesn’t happen, the Harris campaign never actually wanted it to happen. Which is a mistake IMO.
Eh, I don’t see it as a mistake. It might’ve been something to do a month ago. But in the final days, the energy and effort, plus risk/reward aren’t worth it.

Not many persuadables among his audience, and the last thing she needs right now are bad viral moments coming out of an uncontrolled setting for a low reward audience.
 

Just more evidence of a comment I made yesterday - when they are the ones insulting and attacking people, and often in the most personal ways - then it's just fun and games and their targets just need to toughen up and get over it. But when they're the ones who feel attacked then they're just poor victims of librul cancel culture and wokeism and nasty women and it all needs to stop, pronto. Their double standard is very real.
 
The thing I don't understand about the Biden "gaffe" tonight is that it wasn't a gaffe. In the very same sentence, he indicates he's talking about one person.

Context is for losers. Gotta change the narrative and Joe’s mushmouth provided a malleable moment.
 

Biden seeks to clean up ‘garbage’ comment about Trump supporters denigrating Latinos​



“…
Biden’s comments drew swift backlash online, with Republicans immediately connecting them to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 remark that half of Trump’s supporters were “deplorables.” Biden’s remarks came just as Vice President Kamala Harris was set to take the stage for a major rally in Washington, DC.

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden posted on X later that evening. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

When CNN asked for an explanation on the president’s comments, a White House spokesperson insisted that Biden had meant “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” arguing that he had actually said this: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.” …”
 
So damn dumb. Biden was answering a question about hateful rhetoric at Trump’s rally and went full “hold my beer.”

Biden delivers the narrative change MAGA was dying for right as Harris delivers her closing message speech.
 

House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes Obamacare and promises 'massive reform' if Trump wins​

The Republican speaker said at an event in Pennsylvania that overhauling health care would be a major focus and that “Trump’s going to go big” if he takes the presidency.


“…
“No Obamacare?” an attendee asked Johnson, referring to the law Democrats passed in 2010, also known as the Affordable Care Act.

“No Obamacare,” Johnson responded, rolling his eyes. “The ACA is so deeply ingrained, we need massive reform to make this work, and we got a lot of ideas on how to do that.”

… “We want to take a blowtorch to the regulatory state. These agencies have been weaponized against the people. It’s crushing the free market; it’s like a boot on the neck of job creators and entrepreneurs and risk takers. And so health care is one of the sectors, and we need this across the board,” Johnson said. “And Trump’s going to go big. I mean, he’s only going to have one more term. Can’t run for re-election. And so he’s going to be thinking about legacy, and we’re going to fix these things.” …”
 

Trump and His Allies Link Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment to 2016 ‘Deplorables’ Remark​

Within minutes of the clip of President Biden’s remarks going viral, the Trump campaign and others were using it to attack Kamala Harris and Democrats.


“…On Tuesday, it was President Biden who provided the ammunition, appearing to call Trump supporters “garbage” while talking to Latino allies by video.


Mr. Rubio added, as the crowd booed and Mr. Trump shook his head: “He’s talking about the Border Patrol. He’s talking about nurses. He’s talking about teachers. He’s talking about everyday Americans who love their country and want to dream big again and support you, Mr. President.”

Mr. Trump’s team saw the moment from Mr. Biden as similar to the occasion when Mrs. Clinton, speaking at a fund-raiser in late summer during the 2016 campaign, condemned half of Mr. Trump’s supporters as belonging in “what I call the basket of deplorables.” She had added, “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”


“That’s terrible,” Mr. Trump said from the stage at his rally. “So you have — remember Hillary, she said ‘Deplorable.’” He added of Mr. Biden, “I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala.”

Mr. Trump has repeatedly demonized Democrats, using terms that have included “the enemy within,” “communists,” “Marxists” and “vermin.” He has attacked his critics and threatened some with prosecution if he becomes president again.

… By Tuesday night, the Trump campaign was using the Biden comments to appeal to his supporters. Mr. Trump sent a fund-raising email with the subject line: “You are not garbage! I love you! You are the best our nation has to offer.”

Mr. Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, who has been the former president’s most aggressive defender, posted on X about the remark, writing: “This is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country. There’s no excuse for this. I hope Americans reject it.” …”

Nobody will give a shit about this stupidity, except MAGAs who don't matter. If they don't have enough outrage fuel to get them through next week, this won't do it for them.
