‘Kamala-mania’ also catching on in Europe – DW – 07/27/2024

An “amazing phenomenon” — that is what Amy Porter, a spokesperson for Democrats Abroad, or DA, calls what’s happened in France over the last week. Since President Joe Biden’s decision to pass the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris, Porter said the organization, which represents the US’ Democrat party globally, has seen a surge in registration of new voters and in volunteers offering to help on the campaign.

Perhaps more remarkably, she told DW, they’ve had “local people, French people, non-US citizens reaching out to us and saying, ‘I would like to help'” get Harris elected. In her decades volunteering with the organization, Porter said she’s only seen this “once in a blue moon.”

Biden-Harris Administration, NOAA Propose $575 Million to Increase Coastal Climate Resilience | U.S. Department of Commerce

Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announced today that the Department of Commerce and NOAA are recommending $575 million in funding across 19 projects to boost climate resilience in the nation’s coastal and Great Lakes states and territories.

As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, NOAA’s Climate Resilience Regional Challenge is a competitive grant program, and awards are made under NOAA’s Climate-Ready Coasts and Communities Initiative and are funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate investment in history. President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is driving more than $50 billion to build resilience to the effects of climate change in communities across the country.

(Me: GOP’s Project 2025 and current GOP House members want to drastically cut any investment in NOAA’s climate resilience projects)
