US Rep Ayanna Pressley (D-7th) and US Sen. Elizabeth Warren pretty immediately endorsed Kamala Harris for president today:
Pressley tweeted:
Thank you for your dedicated service President Joe Biden.
And Kamala Harris, I’m all in, let’s go.
US Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed Harris as well:
She is a proven fighter who has been a national leader in safeguarding consumers and protecting access to abortion. As a former prosecutor, she can press a forceful case against allowing Donald Trump to regain the White House. We have many talented people in our party, but Vice President Harris is the person who was chosen by the voters to succeed Joe Biden if needed. She can unite our party, take on Donald Trump, and win in November.
US Sen. Ed Markey agreed:
Kamala Harris is battle-tested and ready to serve. She will galvanize voters and make history on Election Day. All in for Kamala.
Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-4th) is ridin' with Harris as well.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

My search for background on Harris aren’t part of the public discourse/news. When the major news outlets start cheerleading for Harris, by only speaking about the excitement and historicity of a Harris Presidency and talking about who is “getting on board†instead of doing an expose on every aspect of who Harris is, the media and the power players in the establishment are effectively in control of the wind.

The mainstream media, that place where professional journalists reach a large, audience of shared eyes and ears, that is where they should be reviewing Harris’s and her rivals’ records and not manipulating us with the bright, shiny horserace. Agency should be with We the People and not the Party bosses and their corporate paymasters. It is just as much a sin to assume the best about Harris as it is the worst.

You made a baseless claim about Maura Healey doing a specific act and were questioned on it.
You haven't supported the claim. Instead, you've cited a 9 year old article about public corruption across the country. The article is interesting and presents metrics that consider data related to public corruption but also describe the flaws in those same metrics. Harry Enten is a bright guy, really invested in data driven journalism, and I can't imagine he would condone drawing firm conclusions on today's current events based on his article from January of 2015.

Amidst all the racist, xenophobic and misogynistic filth cluttering the criticisms of the left are nuggets of truth that threaten to put a chink in armor of our self righteousness. Remember, Harris is not free of baggage and negatives. Harris’s rhetoric on Israel is even leas well-tempered than Biden’s appeasing of the antisemitic strain that fuels the engine of Progressivism.

I voted for Obama-Biden in a “Got Hope†mood and discovered a corporate shill. I put a clothespin on my nose and voted for (Hillary Rodham) Clinton-Kaine and saw how the DNC is full of shit. I vote for Sanders in the primaries, though I’m tired of the extortion and I’m seeing that the pandering to the anti-liberal (and antisemitic) Progressives brings to mind classical conservative arguments and warnings about the perils of a socialist future.
Most of all these dark times of the consolidation of media into a few great commercial monopolies, where economics is driving the polarization that took root with wedge issues, knowing they’re engaged in ‘The Selling of the President,’ and that ‘You Can Fool All of the People All of the Time.â€
The Home Shopping Cable News Networks (NPR is stuck in this trap) can’t afford to alienate their audiences which perfectly and respectively overlap with the two major parties. There is no semblance of a firewall between commerce, opinion and news. I know we all must be on the bandwagon, but I’m concerned there can’t be frank discussions. Is there really a groundswell for Harris? It seems that the media that shares her audience stood shoulder to shoulder around her as the DNC desperately puffed and blew on the kindling as they were rubbing sticks together to kindle her peculiar candidacy.

I got nothing against Kamala Harris being the nominee of my party, but this media circus process is all flash and no substance.
Is there any news footage of Kamala Harris the DA? I’ve only seen a two second clip. You would think we’d a seen it in 2019, 2000. Did she ever hold a news conference where she used cancelled words and phrases like “thug†and “super-predator?†Why aren’t we talking about Harris's position on American hostages in Gaza and the war in Gaza, where White House, which was already appeasing terrorist sympathizers in my party, making VP Harris “tone down†her anti-Israeli rhetoric? Why aren’t we highlighting indications of how she will handle the Russian crimestate and get our hostages back? The news should be going through all the potential nominees with a fine-toothed comb, but instead the corporate press making it a futile effort for anyone but Harris.

could do a little homework. None of the things you allegedly seek are hard to find with modern search tools.
Were you asking these questions four years ago when Harris was nominated as VP, someone who could be asked to step into the presidency at any moment? She has already been through a thorough vetting process. Anyone who has been paying attention knows exactly who she is. The notion that she's being snuck in under the radar without scrutiny is risible.
You're no lifelong Dem: your real goal here is obviously to undermine confidence in the candidate on Trump's behalf. You're about as subtle as a brick through a window.
