@MaryLTrump Let him talk. They'll all stay home because he doesn't need their vote.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

Of the five boroughs in NYC, Staten Island is Trump's stronghold. Yet today the borough's newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, "enthusiastically" endorsed Harris, calling her "the only choice in 2024," and delivering some tough love to readers 🧵

a huge response for Kamala Harris in East Lansing, Michigan

THIS is how it's done. Bravo, Seattle Times. "Hell, yes! Harris for president."

When the man believes we didn't see and hear what we all saw and heard

Trump quickly responds to Harris, saying he "never even thought about" ending the ACA.

(As president, Trump fought to repeal ACA via legislation, undo regulations via executive action and nuke it via SCOTUS. Last month he called ACA "lousy" and said "we're going to replace it.")

Somebody on Trump’s team should remind him that he’s running against Kamala Harris, not Joe Biden. Spending all his time attacking Biden in the closing days of the campaign makes absolutely no sense. But hey, go for it, Donald. 🤣🤣

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

Ted Cruz and his extremist super PAC allies are throwing a Hail Mary – they’re spending over $34 million attacking Colin Allred to sway voters in the final days of the Texas Senate race. Colin needs your help to fight back and WIN. Will you rush $5 or more?

Our constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and our democracy has been strong ever since.

Pennsylvania is too smart to elect a convicted felon, who tried to undermine democracy to lead our democracy.

They are going to try to “thoughts & prayers” their way out of this, and it’s vital that we don’t let them.

Donald Trump is consumed with the past.

But this isn't just about what we're up against—with @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz, we are part of a campaign focused on the future.

A PERSONAL UPDATE!!!

Last Father’s Day I mentioned that following this election I would be stepping away from advocacy and politics. If the election goes the right way, the work will continue with amazing advocates who fight every day for our safety. If the election goes the wrong way, the work will stop. I fully expect that this the election will result in Kamala Harris as President and Tim Walz as Vice President. Either way, for me, it will be time to move forward in a new direction.

I have spent the past almost 7 years living a life I did not choose. I was always on the road, or when home, absorbed by reading, writing, zoom meetings, interviews, phone calls, etc. My family never got the best of me. I spent more time with other young people than I did with my son. I spent more time with other adults than I did with my wife, my family, my longtime friends. I am a truly fortunate and lucky man that my family gave me the space that I needed to pursue the mission to reduce gun violence in America.

I have spent years trying to help people imagine what I have experienced just to get them to vote. Voting always gives me hope and I believe voting is the way to solve problems in America. I am again counting on that being true in this election.

Last Father's Day I was clear that I had one big job left in me and it was this election. For me, this election is about my hopes for the future. However, this election is also about working to protect things we hope not to lose. I already lost what I love most with the murder of Jaime. Women have already lost bodily autonomy in many states. Democracy is at risk, as are our rights to vote in future elections. This election is now exactly one week away from being over. I hope we all vote to protect what we still have, what we value, and who we love. Let’s vote with hope for the future.

What stepping away from politics and advocacy means for me is still a work in progress. With certainty, I will devote added attention to the work that our foundation Orange Ribbons for Jaime is doing. I love everyone who I have gotten to know personally, in politics, in media and across the country. I will be forever grateful to the many heroes across the nation who fight every day for our right to be free from gun violence. Now, it is time to put my energy back into my family, my friends, and myself.

I have only two remaining asks of everyone. The first is probably expected and easy as we have only one week left. If you have not yet voted, please get out and vote and if possible, vote early. Do it for me, do it for Jaime, do it for the other victims of gun violence who have no voice today, do it for those who you love and want to protect from gun violence, do it for this Democracy that we all love, and do it for your ability to keep on voting in future elections.

The second ask is that you don’t forget Jaime and me. I have invested all my heart, soul, and energy into this and into protecting others who I will never know because of what happened to my family. I have no idea what my place in the history of this movement will mean, but I do hope I played an important role and that my voice mattered. I am proud of what we achieved, and I am hopeful for what will come next. While my voice will still show up on occasion, it is time for me to again live and to dedicate myself to my family.

No, I am not retiring. I am going to start reliving.

One last note, and it is a personal ask of our next President. @KamalaHarris, while I am stepping away, I hope to begin by celebrating your election. If you see this, would love to join you at your inauguration.

“They're not trying to empathize with us. They are making fun of us,” AOC says in Philly. “Donald Trump thinks that people who work at McDonald's are a joke. Elon Musk thinks that dangling money in front of a working person is a cute thing to do.”
