Waiting for official Harrs / Walz yard sign delivery

I'd like to know if anyone here who ordered the official Harris / Walz yard sign (from kamalaharris.com) has received it yet, or if it has shipped yet. The website said today was the "expected release date", so I'm not expecting anyone to have it yet.

I'm not complaining. I know the campaign started late, with an even later selection of VP. I'd really like to put up the sign. I'm in an area with a number of Trump signs, although many of those signs are from previous years (so the supporters were too cheap to contribute again). I see a few non-official Harris signs around.

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.

What’s 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.

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: What’s an elector?
...
She and her husband were both enthusiastic supporters of Bernie Sanders and were drawn to West’s 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 West’s candidacy when they read that Republican-aligned operatives were working to get him on the ballot to play spoiler.

“We weren’t 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.
