@RoyalCaribbean Your iOS app is currently sending a bunch of gibberish notifications.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

I’m genuinely curious why one is ok and the other is not…

- POLITICO got $44,000 from USAID for a subscription service that tracks legislation.

- Musk got $15,000,000,000 from federal contacts, and is auditing the government.

Can someone explain what I’m missing here?

DOGE is organized crime

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@ThePandoraBoxx I’m going to be that little hook in the middle of that model’s tits.

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

We vote because we love our country. 🇺🇸

It is our patriotic duty to ensure that the most dangerous man ever to be #POTUS is defeated on November 5th.

There is only ONE CHOICE: #KamalaHarris2024 ☑️

#No3rdParties 👎

[Charlie Zangle @ChesterInKS]

💯Agreed.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

I challenge everyone on both sides to take this pledge:

I pledge that no matter who wins the election next month, I will not resort to breaking the law or violence in any form.

I pledge to not break into any government buildings.

I pledge to recognize the results of the election as fair and legitimate.

I pledge to stand by any Court decisions following any challenge to election results.

I pledge to not support any alternate slates of electors being used to certify the results.

I pledge to stand up for the laws and the institutions of this nation, even if I don’t like the results or who will be the next president.

If you agree to all of these, please copy and repost this or reshare it.

They keep giving him back the mic every time he starts going off when it’s not his turn. He better not complain he couldn’t talk. Kamala has barely spoken off mic. And has (mostly) stayed within her time constraints. #Debate2024

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Honest question what planet are Republicans living on where people are eating cats and getting post term abortions??? One of the very people who told us not to believe everything we read on the Internet now believes everything he sees on the Internet AND is running for president

[Charlie Zangle @ChesterInKS]

@krassenstein She came to the debate to clean things up. So she’s mopping the floor with him. Are her soundbites perfect? No. But she’s sending him off the deep end and he’s eating himself alive. #Debate2024

[Charlie Zangle @ChesterInKS]

“They’re eating the pets!”

WHAT. IS. HE. TALKING. ABOUT?!?

Thank you @DavidMuir for the fact check.

Trump: “I have nothing to do with Project 2025”

FACT CHECK: This is a lie. At least 140 Project 2025 authors are Trump aides and advisors.

[Charlie Zangle @ChesterInKS]

Kamala is mopping the floor with Trump. #Debate2024

[Charlie Zangle @ChesterInKS]

Ok… so I hate the man but please don’t kill him. He will become a martyr and that will make things worse. I’m glad he, as a “human”, is still alive. But make no mistake… this will inspire sympathy votes. Project 2025 is why he CAN’T be elected.

[Charlie Zangle @ChesterInKS]

@themaxburns @GOP @themaxburns After reading the P2025 site I noticed that it is basically every fact the founding fathers mentioned in the Declaration of Independence to break away from England. P2025 is going to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship if they succeed. Nightmare is an understatement.

[Max Burns @themaxburns]

Here are just a few of the nightmares contained in Project 2025, the @GOP's far-right extremist vision for a second Trump presidency:
