More on Democrats working to get the Arlington report
Much more in the article so I recommend reading it.
The Senate and House Armed Services committees have oversight jurisdiction here. Senator Tim Kaine and Representative Gerry Connolly, both Democrats of Virginia and respective members of those committees, have called on the Army to provide the report and release more information.
Whats more, Senate Armed Services Committee staff have been directly communicating with Army officials about the incident, and are in the process of seeking and receiving the information in the report and about what happened, a congressional aide tells me. Meanwhile, senior House Democrats are privately pushing Army officials to say more clearly what laws or regulations they think may have been broken, and to reveal more details about what happened, another aide says, noting that Democratic staffers are encountering resistance, leaving them frustrated.

Senator Kaine is calling on the Army to show the incident report
This is what we need. Every Democratic Senator should be calling for the publishing of this report.
News --> Sen Tim Kaine is calling on Army to provide its incident report on Trump campaign's Arlington fiasco.
As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I am troubled by the reporting and want to see the incident report," he says.
Senators demanding report is next step here

As far as I can determine, the Senate Armed Services Committee has clear oversight jurisdiction on this Arlington mess. The cemetery is run by the Army via the Office of Army Cemeteries. So the Armed Services Committee will surely be getting a full accounting of what happened.

DNC shifted up to 6:30 PM Eastern start time tonight
Probably because things ran a little late yesterday
What time does the DNC start?
While many events will take place throughout each day, the "main programming" is slated to begin at 5:30 p.m. (6:30 PM Easterrn) Tuesday, a shift from the 6 p.m. (7:00 PM Easterrn) scheduled start time. Organizers said the timing change was made to "make sure that we stay on track."

Cornel West withdraws petition to get on Arizona's ballot - shady business
Looks like more GOP dirty tricks to me. Read the full article.
When Denisha Mitchell was asked why she filled out paperwork to serve as an Arizona elector for the independent presidential candidate Cornel West, her first response was What?! Her second: Whats an elector?
...
She and her husband were both enthusiastic supporters of Bernie Sanders and were drawn to Wests progressive message earlier this year. They later took jobs gathering petition signatures to get an initiative on the ballot that would raise the wages of tipped workers. They soured on Wests candidacy when they read that Republican-aligned operatives were working to get him on the ballot to play spoiler.
We werent for the Republican griminess, so we stopped pushing him, she said.
Her former employer, a signature gathering contractor called Wells Marketing, a mysterious Missouri limited liability company, is leading the effort to get West on the ballot in Arizona. The company did not respond to a message seeking comment at a phone number listed for it.

People leaving while Trump is talking?
Looks like people are starting to trickle out of the Wilkes-Barre Trump rally as he goes past the hour mark. There appears to be more empty seats.

Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov says he got Cybertruck from Musk
Don't know if it is a true claim, but this should be investigated. What's next, Musk supplying arms to Russia?
Kadyrov said he received a Tesla Cybertrack from Elon Musk. He promised to send it to the "special military operation" zone and attached a machine gun to it.
"Elon, thank you! Come to Grozny, I will receive you as the most dear guest! I do not think that our Russian MFA will be against such a trip. And, of course, we are waiting for your new developments that will contribute to the completion of the SMO," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.
