Here are a few international, national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Tuesday, July 30. Also, check out last night’s “White Dudes for Harris” call, featuring Roy Cooper, JB Pritzker, Pete Buttigieg, Steny Hoyer, Mitch Landrieu,  Adam Schiff, Tim Walz, Jeff Bridges, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Groban, David Hogg, Bradley Whitford, Rory O’Malley, Paul Scheer, Adam Conover, Sean Astin, Michael Kelly, Lance Bass, Tim Daly, Mark Ruffalo, Mark Hamill, Ben Wikler, Josh Gad, etc. Amazing call – raised around $4 million for the Harris campaign! A few great quotes include:

MN Gov. Tim Walz: “There’s one golden rule in a small town…mind your own damn business…Who’s asking for this crazy stuff that they’re pushing…to ban birth control…to raise the price of insulin…to cut veteran’s benefits like Project 2025 does…”

IL Gov. JB Pritzker: “Afterward, of course, there’s another Zoom that I invite you all to, called ‘Couches Against Trump’, better known as CATs” – lol

NC Gov. Roy Cooper: “Real men respect women – their decisions, their careers – and it’s pretty clear that Donald Trump and JD Vance don’t – from Trump’s sexual assaults to Vance’s misogynistic comments, it’s pretty clear that disrespect for women permeates Donald Trump land and MAGA Republicans”

Jeff Bridges: “I’m white, I’m a dude and I’m for Harris!”

Bradley Whitford: “We’re really trying to stay OUT of the ‘Handmaid’s Tale'”

Mitch Landrieu: Trumpism is a “manifestation of what I think is the root of a poisonous tree…a complete rejection of really what America was about…essentially what they’re saying is…really some of us are created more equal than others”

Sean Astin: “Everyone is welcome” with Kamala Harris; “to me, there’s reverence…for women…when I think about smashing the donation button, I think of honoring them”

Josh Groban: “That very unity that I cherish in being able to perform is at risk in the country that I also live in…there is a real age-old drum that is being played on the other side right now that is oversimplifying something…based on fear…this idea that to celebrate the beauty of our similarities and…our differences is somehow a scary thing…”
