Judd Legum asks how, then the Republicans including Trump have taken action against price-gouging, Washington Post has arrived at the same position as the hard-right press when Kamala Harris proposes controls to stop price-gouging: namely, that Trump is a Communist.
Clearly, corporate media are looking for ways to attack her on behalf of their corporate lords and masters.

"Think about the courage it must have taken her mother to come to America at just 19, the sacrifices she must have made to create a life for herself and eventually for her daughters. If we did not welcome people who want to improve their lives, as well as contribute to our country and culture, we wouldn’t be just worse off—America wouldn’t be America."

And this is just one example from many, many thousands - people with more courage than Trump has ever shown, and working harder to provide for their families than he ever has. -

"The combination of an opponent who’s making Trump’s weirdness a focus of her campaign and the fact that Trump’s mental degeneration is happening in public and on camera has created a new situation he seems unable to cope with. ...
Suddenly, during the summer of 2024, Donald Trump standing in front of a random display of food and performing his act is no longer exciting and fun; instead, it’s just plain weird."

"the Tim Walz-led alienizing of the MAGA movement; Kamala Harris’s mantra 'we’re not going back;' her stump speech emphasizing freedom and the future; all the videos of her dancing; the broad left’s embrace of the coconut (earnestly or ironically) as a symbol of resistance. Compare it to, for instance, the seminal appeal of the 'No' campaign that drove the dictator Augusto Pinochet from power almost 30 years ago."

"As author Patrick S. Tomlinson observed, Walz represents what shouldn’t be an extraordinary notion: that you can be a nice guy, supportive of women, embracing of gay people, and still be all the coded masculine ideals of soldier, football coach, hunter and father that the MAGA right believed it had a lock on. Plus, you can be all those things without ever asking weird questions about menstrual cycles, chromosomes and genitalia."
