Part of me thought that when Biden stepped aside for Kamala, the race wouldn't end up being such a nailbiter because the contrast in candidate quality would be clear and undeniable. Well, the contrast in quality is clear and undeniable, but it turns out something like 45% of voters still want diarrhea forever. And it's hard to persuade someone they shouldn't want diarrhea forever if that's their thing. So here we are.

Restore law and order. Throw these criminals in jail.
Federal emergency workers were forced to pause their hurricane recovery efforts in North Carolina after National Guard troops reportedly discovered trucks of armed militia, who were “out hunting FEMA.” @KathyParkNBC reports.

What's at stake in this election and every one. My heroine. 5'4" of pure courage.
I was never taught anything about Fannie Lou Hamer in school. Most of us weren’t. This is part of her speech explaining the HELL she endured for trying to register to vote. They nearly killed her. We need a movie about her life. #BlackWomen #Vote

I have waited so long for this argument to be made.
Obama: Some think I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good. Yeah, it was pretty good, because it was my economy. It wasn't something he did. I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me

Wow. This seems like a lifetime ago. Can we not please get back to this?
On this day in 2008, Sen. McCain put civility over politics—shutting down false claims about his opponent during a town hall-style campaign event and defending then-Senator Obama as “a decent family man citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with.”

Game changer, potentially, for one independent member of our family.
Today I learned that Kamala Harris is a big fan of #f1 and def TeamLH!!

Hurricane Helene dealt a heavy blow to South Carolina and other southern states. After you have taken care of critical needs for you and your family, you probably will wonder what to do with your storm-damaged woodlands. We've listed some advice on how to proceed on the graphic below and have created a helpful hurricane-specific guide for forest landowners, which can be found at bit.ly/3ZMHTDq #HurricaneHelene

Heather has been a HUGE champion for Richland One schools. Absolutely no one at her level has ever fought for them like she has. Makes my vote an easy yes!
We just dropped our first ad, Working for You. It shows what I've been doing as your Rep: creating jobs, improving our public schools, stopping utilities from ripping us off, & fighting MAGA extremists who are attacking our reproductive rights. 👀 youtu.be/9YejdPIM4Gc

RT @WxNB_: Sobering aerial imagery of various places across Western North Carolina - Before & After Helene. An absolute tragedy for this re…
Let’s not forget: 1) Pence’s family was with him at the Capitol on J6. 2) Pence’s security detail were so worried for their safety they made goodbye calls to their families. That day could have been much worse if the rioters had found Pence—and Trump couldn’t have cared less.
From p. 142 of Jack Smith's filing: "Upon receiving a phone call alerting him that Pence had been taken to a secure location, [PERSON 15] rushed to the dining room to inform [Trump] in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure Pence’s safety. Instead, after [P15] delivered the news, the defendant looked at him and said only, “So what?""

We can't normalize this kind of rhetoric around gun violence. Vance saying that "we have to make the doors and windows stronger" as a tactic to reduce school shootings is not only nonsensical, but chilling.
