RT @benwikler: University of Wisconsin-Whitewater students, heed the words of Doug Emhoff, your future First Gentleman.

If you're in line…

On this day in 1968, Shirley Chisholm became first black woman elected to the United States Congress.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

VP Harris responds to Speaker Johnson walking back his comments on repealing the CHIPS Act:

"Let's be clear why he walked it back. Because it's not popular. And their agenda is not popular."

(Johnson claims he "misheard" the q, watch the original video to see for yourself)

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

In recent days, Trump and his surrogates have:

—Promised to repeal the CHIPS Act, which would cost thousands of American manufacturing jobs
—Promised to raise taxes on imported goods by up to “one thousand percent,” which would skyrocket your prices
—Promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would rip away health care from millions of Americans
—Promised that Trump’s economic plans will cause “hardship” for the middle class, saying it’s “necessary”

I've talked with a lot of voters this election, but one conversation has stuck with me. James Johnson is 46, white, from Mississippi. He's never voted in his life, but he's voting this year, for Harris, because of abortion.
Here's what he told me:

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Heads up, Philadelphia!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Almost 4000 flawed ballots have been found in Philadelphia.

Election workers held a press conference and are urging folks to scan the QR code to make sure that you didn't fill one out.

They outline the steps to take if your name is on the list.

Trump dismisses Puerto Ricans who are outraged at his campaign surrogate calling the island “a floating island of garbage,” saying it’s not a “big deal”

[Protect Our Care @ProtectOurCare]

VP Kamala Harris: "Caregiving is about dignity." 🏠❤️

[A.J. Delgado @AJDelgado13]

Just to be clear, "a floating island of garbage includes THE PEOPLE IN IT." This is calling Puerto Ricans garbage.

I can also confirm, as someone who worked ON THIS TEAM in 2016, that these speeches are READ IN ADVANCE.

This was APPROVED.

Trump rally speaker “jokes” about Black people “carving watermelons”

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than working-class Americans.

@KamalaHarris and I support a billionaire minimum tax – and we’ll ensure corporations pay their fair share.

Y’all don’t take your vote for granted.

[Will Ragland @citizenwillis]

I'm telling you... this is the sleeper issue of the race... The Harris plan to let Medicare cover home health care in lieu of having seniors deplete all of their savings to qualify for Medicaid is huge for folks in this situation.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Today, Trump:

—Abruptly ended his interview after it was reported that he is canceling interviews because he is “exhausted”
—Appeared to fall asleep at a roundtable with voters
—Aimlessly walked around in circles on stage after his microphone stopped working
—Once again attacked the city of Detroit

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump is dodging debates and ducking interviews. His campaign team says it’s because of “exhaustion.”

Well, if he’s exhausted on the campaign trail, it raises the question: Is he fit for the toughest job in the world?

[Ken Jeong @kenjeong]

If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don't walk away.
Say this:
I REQUEST A PROVISIONAL BALLOT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

Don't let them steal your vote.

[John Croman @JohnCroman]

Minnesota @LtGovFlanagan wore many hats today, with the Women's Pheasant Hunt in Austin, the Minnesota Corn Grower's event in Eyota, and early voting in Hennepin County. All this before cheering on the Lynx in Minneapolis.

NEW AD: Her name was Amber Nicole Thurman.

And she lost her life because Donald Trump ended Roe v. Wade.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Trump's attack on overtime pay is just another way he's siding with corporate greed over hardworking Americans.

Workers see through the lies and aren’t buying his BS anymore— and we’re fighting back.
