For months, Joe Biden’s reelection campaign largely refrained from lashing out at Donald Trump by name. They’re now firing their first official shot.
Hours before Trump was scheduled to appear in a primetime interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity — and the same day the former president revealed a third criminal indictment is likely forthcoming — Biden’s campaign lambasted Trump for sitting for “softball townhalls.”
In a statement provided exclusively to POLITICO, it also made a nod to the forthcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the GOP next year will formally declare its nominee.

Brandon clutched his paper cup with change as he shuffled into the gas station store. He was near an aisle when a loud voice distracted him. He saw a queue of angry shoppers waiting behind an elderly man who had difficulty hearing. “I’m sorry, what did you say about the water being funny?” the elderly man asked the cashier. “Money!” she groaned. “I said you don’t have enough money, sir!” “Yes, it was a sunny day!” replied the man with a frown. “You need more cash! For the water!” A younger guy standing behind the man grabbed him by the shoulder and yelled into his ears. Brandon noticed everything. He was tempted to step in, but he didn’t want to attract the shoppers’ ire. Meanwhile, the elderly man explained he didn’t have enough cash, asking if he could get a smaller bottle of water as he needed to take his pills. “If you can’t afford to pay, you’ll have to go!” shouted the cashier. “I can go?” He smiled and turned to leave, but the cashier snatched the water bottle from his hand. “Just get out, old man!” she hissed. “You’re way too much trouble!” The elderly man requested that he needed to take his pills, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. Brandon had had enough. He marched to the cashier and offered to pay for the old guy. “Have a heart, lady,” he said and emptied his cup on the counter. The woman looked at him in distaste before she counted the money. “That’ll cover it,” she said, taking all the money, including his last $2. “Now step aside. You’re holding the line.” Brandon abandoned his can of beans on the counter as he offered the water to the older man. “Here you go, sir. I got you water,” he spoke slowly and clearly, ensuring the man could see his face if he needed to lip-read. And the man thanked him. They left the store together, and Brandon headed to his tent on the bare patch of ground adjacent to the station, but the man stopped him. “Wait!” Brandon turned around… (continue reading in the 1st comment)

SHE WALKED RIGHT UP TO THE COPS WITH HER FREEZER POP—AND HANDED THEM A NOTE FROM HER MOM It was almost 90 degrees out, and folks were gathered for the neighborhood block party. Music, food trucks, a bounce house barely holding itself together—typical summer scene. I was working the community outreach table with two officers, just trying to keep the vibe relaxed. No one wants to see a badge unless there’s a good reason. That’s when this little girl walked right up to us. Couldn’t have been more than three, maybe four. She had one of those melting freezer pops in one hand—blue raspberry or something—and a folded note in the other. Didn’t say a word. Just looked up at us, blinked once, and handed the paper over. The other officer laughed, thinking it was something silly—maybe a kid drawing or a thank-you card. But as soon as I opened it, everything shifted. It wasn’t from her. It was from her mom. The handwriting was rushed. Barely legible. But it was clear enough. She said she couldn’t carry her daughter anymore. That she didn’t have food, couldn’t keep her safe, and didn’t know what else to do. Said the block party was the last place she knew where someone might notice her child without calling CPS immediately. Said she hoped someone in uniform would do the right thing. I looked around, trying to spot anyone nearby watching us. No one stood out. The little girl just stood there, quietly licking her ice pop. And then the officer next to me whispered, “Look at the bottom.” What it said made my stomach drop.⬇ (full story in the first cᴑmment)

HE CRIED ON THE BUS EVERY DAY—UNTIL SHE DID WHAT NO ONE ELSE WOULD He was never like this before. My little boy used to run to the bus. Backpack bouncing, shoes barely tied, waving at the driver like she was driving a rocket ship instead of a yellow school bus. But then it started. He got quieter. His drawings got darker. And every morning, he clung to me just a little bit longer. I didn’t know what was happening—until today. I watched from the sidewalk as he stepped onto the bus, trying to be brave. Trying not to look at the kids in the back who had been whispering about him for weeks now. Too small. Too quiet. Too different. And just as he sat down, I saw it. He wiped his eyes, pulled his cap lower, and curled in on himself like he wanted to disappear. Then the bus didn’t move. Instead, the driver—Miss Carmen—reached her arm back. Not to scold or rush him, but to hold his hand. He gripped it like a lifeline. And she just stayed there for a minute, engine still running, her fingers wrapped around his like she had all the time in the world. But that wasn’t the end of it. Later that afternoon, Miss Carmen didn’t just drop the kids off. She parked the bus. Got out. Walked right up to the group of parents waiting at the stop—including the ones she knew were raising the ones who’d been cruel. 👇 (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)
