Democrats short of money

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The Democratic National Committee is reeling from a massive cash shortfall, trailing far behind Republicans as it grapples with debt from the disastrous Harris-Walz 2024 campaign. According to reports, the DNC’s financial struggles are a result of donor confidence and party unity, leaving Democrats scrambling to stay relevant ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Politico detailed how the DNC ended June with just $15 million in reserves, the lowest in five years, while the Republican National Committee boasted nearly $80 million. This gap dwarfs the one seen during President Trump’s first term, exposing the Democrats’ vulnerabilities in a post-election landscape dominated by GOP momentum.

The DNC poured $15.8 million into settling expenses from Kamala Harris’s failed presidential bid, which racked up about $20 million in debt after squandering $1.5 billion in a mere 15 weeks against Trump. This financial hangover has crippled the party’s ability to rebuild, with big donors fleeing in droves.

Only 47 maximum contributors stepped up for the DNC in the first half of 2025, a sharp drop from over 130 four years prior. This donor exodus follows a growing disillusionment among the elite funders who once propped up the Democratic machine.
...

The Harris-Walz ticket was a disaster for the Democrats, and the party is also running short of alternative candidates at this point.  On the national scene, they don't have any strong candidates.  They will probably have to find someone in the States to step forward.  They will also need to stop their runaway spending sprees.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
