Ten retired, high-ranking military leaders have strongly endorsed Vice President Harris for President today. "Frankly stated, Donald Trump is a danger to our national security and our democracy. His own former National Security Advisors, Defense Secretaries, and Chiefs of Staff

James Earl Jones… there will never be another of his particular combination of graces.

FYI: Republicans have made up a story about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, which the local police in the town in question have debunked. They're still running with it though because they legitimately think that being narrow-minded is the same thing as being funny.

Analysis is in from NOAA Climate.gov this Tuesday morning. This summer (Jun-Aug) was the 7th hottest on record in Virginia. Individual state rankings below. No state was significantly cooler than average. 'Twas the hottest summer on record in Florida. Yikes.

It's been cool lately here in Richmond. Coolest start to September since 2017. But there were 19 Septembers over the 20th century that started cooler than this year — too many for one graphic. 1928 tops the full list: 65.7°
