Hearing more and more the Trump campaign is livid over JD Vance and are blaming Don Jr. and Eric. Lots of panic right now behind the scenes. Apparently Burgum was going to be Trump’s choice and then Jr/Eric went “bat shit” and so did Trump’s billionaire tech bro buddies.

The night White women raised millions [$8.5!] for Harris. And broke Zoom.

Over 164,000 women joined a Zoom call to discuss support, privilege and allyship as they raised millions for the vice president’s campaign.

“Girl, we broke Zoom,” Erin Gallagher said over text at 8:10 a.m., less than nine hours after wrapping up “White Women: Answer The Call! Show up for Kamala Harris,” a meeting held over Zoom Thursday night. So many more women than anticipated logged into the call that the platform crashed several times, forcing many participants to watch the livestream on YouTube until Zoom was back up.

Over 164,000 women logged on to hear from women like the singer P!nk; the actor Connie Britton; the writer and podcaster Glennon Doyle; athletes Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird and Abby Wambach; and a long list of elected officials, including Congresswomen Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Lizzie Fletcher of Texas. Their goal: Push White women to recognize their privilege and the way they have frequently failed to use it as political capital — and get them to avoid making the same mistake again.

The motivation was clear: This year, White women have the opportunity to elect — and make other White women elect — the first woman of color as president.

The money came in at a volume and pace so intense the Democratic National Committee’s fundraising site went down several times during the call on Thursday night. By Friday afternoon, the group had raised over $8.5 million.
