The cases should have either continued such that Trump or his AG were forced to be the ones to shut them down, or at the very least suspended rather than dismissed outright. This is the worst possible outcome for the rule of law.

In the wave of necessary post-election analysis, don’t forget the following: We witnessed attacks on the 2020 election for four years, despite repeated failed attempts to stand up any of those attacks with data or evidence. And then the country holds an election two weeks ago, with many of the very same voting methods and laws and election officials that were systematically undermined, and, with a different outcome, the attacks disappear. (One exception is where the outcome was not favorable: see Eric Hovde’s “many people have reached out” attacks on his senate race, though no questions regarding the outcome of the presidential race in Wisconsin). The damage to confidence in the election system is long-term. The rationale, however, proved fleeting and is now further exposed for what it was.

Twice America has put up a woman for president, and twice (it's now highly probable) Trump has beaten them. Sobering lesson on the reality of today's America.

Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

Donald Trump closes by calling Nancy Pelosi "an evil, sick, crazy b-.” (Trump mouthed the last word. “It starts with a ‘B’ but I won’t say it. I wanna say it!”) JD Vance closes by calling Kamala Harris "trash." If you're voting for Trump-Vance, this is who you're voting for.

I and twenty-two other Nobel economists signed a letter endorsing Kamala Harris for President. We believe Harris's policies will result in a stronger economic performance, with economic growth that is more robust, more sustainable, and more equitable. cnn.com/2024/10/23/politics/…

We can't starve our public schools and then punish them for failing. It's simple: Public dollars are for public schools.

These six minutes need to be shared with everyone. Much appreciation to Jake Tapper for properly reporting on Trump’s fascist threat to use the U.S. military against American citizens, which has not generated the coverage elsewhere that it is due.

WSJ Economic Forecasting Survey: In October, majority of surveyed economists said that Trump’s policies are more likely to add to inflation, deficits, and interest rates. wsj.com/politics/elections/e…

Between this and Miller’s rhetoric at the same Aurora rally, the gauntlet has been thrown. They’re openly promising, and encouraging, racist violence. The oldest, and ugliest, play in the fascist playbook. Decent Americans will reject this monstrousness.
Replying to @KyleClark
Trump is back to discussing migrant crime. “We have to live with these animals. But we won’t live with them for long,” Trump says. “Kill them!” shouts a man in the crowd.

When you fail to execute the duty of the Vice President to certify the election as required by law, you are not “exercising a protest” as Vance claims here. You are committing treason. Pence understood that, Vance doesn’t. That’s why Trump replaced Pence with Vance.
This is brutal for Vance my god

Straight out of Hitler's playbook. Create an enemy to blame everything on and lie and create fear in the people.

Secretly sneaking high-tech COVID-testing equipment to Putin while Americans were dying by the hundreds on scarce ventilators was Trump’s way of paying fealty to the Russian butcher/dictator, according to Bob Woodward’s latest book. What’s scariest is how unsurprising this seems

The next time someone tells you the Republican Party isn’t racist, just remind them they are willing to accept treason from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

One of Vance's slickest lies tonight was that Trump's tariff proposal is only meant for imported goods made by slave labor. Slave labor imports are already banned under US law. In fact, what Trump has proposed is a 20% tax on all goods from all countries, including US allies.
