My official Harris/Walz yard sign has shipped

I'm posting this info for others who are waiting. I'm in a majority GOP area, so I can't wait to put it up.

- Right after Walz was announced, the Harris website updated to show the new sign
- The "release date" was listed as September 5th
- I preordered the official Harris / Walz yard sign on August 16th.
- Late last night I got an email saying the sign has shipped
- It is shipping via UPS Ground

LOL. Person who asked "child care" question unhappy with answer

Reshma Saujani, the Economic Club of NY official who asked Trump about child care, prompting his epic word salad, is on CNN criticizing Trump for his "insulting" response and saying he's unfit to be president

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.
