Inspired to be inspired to holistically close the holistically inspired tabs ... 

Ed: We have a bit of a pot luck today. Enjoy!

According to early data from the Nielsen Media Research, the special edition of "All in With Chris Hayes," which is when the interview took place, earned 1,738,000 viewers. There were 207,000 viewers among the coveted A25-54 demographic.

Ed: That's not much. It does allow other media outlets to spin her performance as somehow impressive, which some have done, but that won't hold up.

“Donald Trump built the wall and upheld our immigration laws. On day one, she stopped the wall and encouraged illegal immigration,” Tyler Klump, whose cattle ranch on the Arizona border in Douglas is a superhighway for illegal crossings from Mexico, told The Post.

Klump says he believes the Democratic presidential nominee is trying to show she’s serious about the border crisis only because of the election.

Ed: This is as many trips to the border Harris has made in three-plus years. So yeah, she's not serious about it, and will likely demonstrate that even further on her visit.

That authoritarian impulse has always been part of Harris’s gun control worldview. During the 2020 primary, she boasted that as president, she would give Congress 100 days to pass the gun control legislation she wanted. If Congress refused, Harris said she would impose it by executive order. This is not some twisted interpretation of vague promises she made. She actually said it on national television. “Upon being elected, I will give Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws, and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” Harris said.

As is the constant question with Harris, was she lying in 2019 when she was trying to position herself as the most left-wing Democrat in the primary, or is she lying now when trying to portray herself as a centrist Democrat? You need only go back to her time as San Francisco’s district attorney, well before she had any idea she would be a presidential contender on the national stage, to get your answer.

Ed: Ask and ye shall receive ...

Ed: I'm not sure this is much of a development, but YMMV. Harris would probably say the same thing today about Heller; she pretty much does in general terms. If you're calculating your vote on the basis that Harris has softened her position, think again.

Zelensky said he “decided to meet with both candidates” running for U.S. president, acknowledging, “we don’t know who will be the president” after Election Day. The Ukrainian leader met with Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday.

Trump also thanked Zelensky for being “like a piece of steel” during the former president’s first impeachment for withholding aid to Ukraine in order to pressure Zelensky to investigate then-Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

Republican leaders on Sept. 25 also accused Zelensky of interfering in the election by visiting an ammunition factory in U.S. President Joe Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pennyslvania, a hotly contested battleground state.

House Speaker Mike Johnson demanded that Zelensky fire Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Makarovka, for her role in arranging the tour.

The Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee also announced he was opening an investigation into the Biden-Harris administration's alleged misuse of government funds.
