Elizabeth Spiers on why Republicans get so furious when Kamala Harris speaks with a drawl. (Gift link New York Times)

Tim Walz’s hotdish recipe gets a rave. (Simply Recipes)
Don’t read David Daley on the Supreme Court deciding our election for us again. It will only make you crazy. (The Guardian)
Oh, when the Supreme Court dropped charges against the January 6 terrorists because they had to have disrupted “paperwork” (?), John Roberts took Alito’s name off the opinion and put his own on there instead. So as not to embarrass the Court. Huh. (Brennan Center)
Don’t read this on the people suing the fuck out of disinformation researchers for “censoring” them (saying they’re lying), it will … okay, you should read it. (Mother Jones)

Georgia elections officials, except like the two good ones, are conspiring to throw the state to Trump. (The Guardian)
Donald Trump and the big water faucet in Canada. (Jeff Tiedrich)
From last week but lol: Trump allies have seen “no ground [game] activity at all.” I’m sure they’ll figure it out before the election, if you can’t count on Charlie Kirk and Elno Musk to turn out your voters, on whom can you? (Semafor)
