Good morning and Happy Tuesday!

I’m making this newsletter available to everyone who has subscribed today because LMP has had a lot of new subscribers in the past 24 hours, and I have a proposition for LMP readers.

First, this newsletter is 100 percent funded by premium subscribers, and your subscription allows me to keep writing independently about issues I care about, without having some private equity bro tell me what I can and can’t say. If you’d like to get LMP in your inbox five days a week, you can upgrade to a premium subscription for less than the cost of a decent IPA per month!

Also! I’m offering a free month’s subscription to LMP to anyone who sends proof that they’ve donated (or will have donated by Election Day) at least $20 to Kamala Harris’ campaign. Just register for a free subscription to LMP, send me proof of donation to juliedicaro (at) outlook (dot) com, and I’ll send a free monthly subscription your way. If you’re already a premium subscriber, I’ll refund your most recent payment.

Today, a reason for hope when it comes to the November election, the Olympics start Friday, but where are all the Russians? What was Adidas thinking? And, I am once again, begging the men to stop talking about the WNBA.

Here we go:
