It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

Throughout my career, I have had one client: the people.

I took on big banks and delivered $20 billion for American homeowners, stood up for veterans and students, and prosecuted transnational criminal organizations.

As president, I will continue to put you first.

TO SPLIT THE WORLD IN TWO: A CLOSING ARGUMENT

This election isn’t just about the future of the United States, it will determine the future of the world. It is a linchpin in a strategy to split the world into two warring factions; the side that wins will own the future.

The vision offered by Putin and Xi (with Musk, Thiel, Vance, Trump, and RFK Jr as their surrogates) is a world where men trump women, rape trumps consent, Ukraine is Russia, Taiwan is China, and the Dollar is trash. In this world, Bitcoin, DogeCoin, and gold matter more than your 401(k). A vote for Musk is a vote for xenophobia, and a world where science only matters when it serves your interests. It is a vision for the end of America, because henceforth, it shall have a king.

Their vision is one where climate concerns will be worked out by the free market and, magically, through “abundance” — of both fossil fuels and CO2. They acknowledge will have many problems, certainly, but they will be solved by entrepreneurs, philosopher kings, and their neo-feudal army of non-unionized wage slaves, all “competing” in the free market for the benefit of humanity. And our reward, they say, will be to colonize Mars — a truly uninhabitable hellscape that will likely never support human life.

Electing Harris will not stop this attack. But it will slow it down and allow some time to mount a response to this threat. Putin, Xi and a growing list of autocratic allies are joining forces to render democracy extinct. They believe it doesn’t work, they believe our populations are too infantile to make decisions, and furthermore they insist not only that our democracies don’t work, but that they will demonstrate it by capturing them and disabling them. If democracies are to survive globally, we must offer more than just an extension of the status quo: we must offer a vision of a democratic future that is more compelling to the majority of the world. By many measures, we have failed, so far, to meet that challenge.

This election is existential for women. This is a civilizational conflict between a patriarchal, hierarchical worldview, where women are held in utter contempt, and one in which everyone has equal voice. Rape is on the ballot: Trump at the top, and RFK Jr laughably in charge of “women’s health.” Musk, the serial philanderer and eugenicist, will tear apart our federal protections and rights limb by limb. Women must vote in overwhelming, staggering, and unprecedented numbers — as must the men who share their values.

Should Musk et al somehow win his bid for King of America, our focus must shift immediately to disabling them by all Constitutional and institutional means. The destruction they will bring is nearly inconceivable, and they will probably be stopped when more people realize what they intend. But it’s difficult to know what will be saved from the resulting fire.

I have studied this conflict for a decade. This is where we are. I have issued prescient warnings again and again about what’s coming, and have been right, again and again. And I’m right about this. This attack will not stop with this election, but it is by far their biggest prize so far. They must not win it, and we must not fail to address the threat they still pose even if they lose. Onward!

@ananavarro It is the moral duty of all to vote

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Ask yourself: what would happen if Kamala Harris did this?

Yes. You saw right. This is Trump on stage at a rally, pretending to perform a sex-act on a microphone.

This is not normal. Trump is disgusting, unhinged and unfit to represent the United States. Vote him out.

I have multiple pre-existing conditions that already cost me hundreds of dollars in prescriptions monthly.

This threat to the ACA is personal for me.

Blocking healthcare access due to pre-existing conditions isn’t just wrong; it’s cruel and inhumane.

MAGA Mike, Trump, Shady Vance, & their cult can GTFO.

It’s time for undecided, independent, and even Republican voters to be brave and vote for Kamala Harris.

I am.

🧵 Arnold Schwarzenegger's address following the January 6th failed coup reminded him of the horrors of Hitler's reign.

[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
