So many veterans are rising up against the loathsome piece of shit and authoritarian fascism, and voting for Kamala Harris. This vet is from North Carolina. 🙌🙏💪👏👊🌊🇺🇸

If you plan on voting for Jill Stein or Trump because of the war in the Middle East, please watch and reconsider. It’s just 6 minutes and it’s worth the watch.

🚨BREAKING: In a new leaked tape, Jeffrey Epstein says he was Donald Trump’s “closest friend” for 10 years. Epstein also revealed that the first time Donald Trump slept with Melania was on his “Lolita Express” private jet.

Really says a lot that @PolkCoSheriff Grady Judd, who famously loves camera time, declined to comment or answer questions about this disturbing case.
For years, Taylor Cadle didn’t tell anyone that her adoptive father had been sexually abusing her. When she finally did, law enforcement took a shocking step and charged her with making up the story.

Grady Judd normally craves media attention the way zombies crave brains. Yet when PBS reports on a teen forced to collect her own sexual-abuse evidence after Judd's office didn't believe her "... Judd's office declined an interview and didn't answer repeated requests for comment"

The bipartisan CHIPS Act is HUGE in Arizona, Texas and Ohio. Has led to major economic growth. This will be an ad over the weekend.
BREAKING: I asked @SpeakerJohnson if he’ll try to repeal the CHIPS Act if Trump wins and they have control of Congress. “I expect that we probably will.” @RepWilliams responds: “I will remind him night and day how important the CHIPS Act is.” #NY22 @CitrusTVNews 🚨

The CHIPS Act is in part responsible for the addition of 800,000 new manufacturing jobs in the US, including clean energy jobs that would otherwise be ceded to China. Republicans will repeal it because it was passed by a Democratic president. These people are arsonists driven by their fragile egos.
Q: Will you and Trump try to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act, which brings thousands of manufacturing jobs back to America? Mike Johnson: I suspect that we probably will

Was head marketing guy, NBC: "While we were successful in marketing 'The Apprentice,' we also did irreparable harm by creating the false image of Trump as a successful leader. I deeply regret that. And I regret that it has taken me so long to go public." usnews.com/opinion/articles/…

I wrote this cause it’s what I always wanted to say about Trump pretending to be a tough guy.  But we got the amazing @DaveBautista to say it SO much better.  Thanks Dave.  #TrumpIsAWeakLittleBabyBitch

Children ripped away from their parents under Trump speak out for the first time: “I suffered a lot of trauma... I go to a therapist, but I still have the fear of Trump being reelected… I don't want other kids to go through what I did”

Who is the REAL J.D.Vance? I don’t know, and you don’t either—but he’s too extreme and radical to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. 🚨 Rachel Maddow just dropped a bombshell on the eve of the VP debate: Vance wants to shut down universities, seize their endowments, and “destroy all the things which conservatives don’t have complete control over.” Seriously, WUT? Oh, and he idolizes Curtis Yarvin, a guy with white nationalist pro-slavery views who believes we need to “get over our dictator phobia” and race determines societal hierarchy and intelligence. Sound familiar? These toxic, racist ideologies belong in a dumpster fire—not in 2024.

We did it! #AIDSRunWalkChicago is in the books for 2024. It was an overcast Saturday morning with choppy waves on the lakefront, but Team MACA still turned out in force. Meanwhile, there's still time to donate: classy.org/team/584094

From the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: perspectives.ushmm.org/item/…
In Springfield, Ohio, there has been a massive rise in communicable diseases, rent prices, car insurance rates, and crime. This is what happens when you drop 20,000 people into a small community. Kamala Harris's immigration policy aims to do this to every town in our country.

If you have not seen it, this is the journalism rant of the year, and it's about false balance. teapawt.net/i/status/1831296154203…
.@mikebarnicle: "Today we have a damaged, delusional, old man who again might get re-elected to the presidency of the United States. How did this happen?... How did the Republican Party get here?"
