The donor Kimberly Guilfoyle begged to pay her AMEX bill asked her to get lyrics he and a guitarist had written for a song “Kentucky Outlaw” to Kid Rock. The song rhymes the words “outlaw” and “crawl.” Thank goodness Stephen Sondheim is no longer around to see that! But it'd be fine with Kid Rock...

ICYMI: The NAACP sued the Trump administration, seeking records detailing its plan to deploy roughly 1,000 election monitors during the midterms. It remains unclear how the department will draw enough personnel or what training and vetting those employees will receive: demdock.com/4j7JIo7
A person with a cap labeled "Election Security" shines a flashlight on boxes labeled "Ballots," "Votes," and "Voter Info." A quote says, "This unprecedented deployment of federal officials stands to jeopardize the election and interfere with the right of voters to participate in the election free from intimidation." Below, it mentions the NAACP's lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding election monitor deployment.
