Republicans are talking out of both sides of their mouth. The whole guilty verdict is “A sham!” “A travesty!” But also, (shhhh) “Should we be considering someone else…?”
Don’t look away: This morning, Trump vowed to reinstate his family separation policy, slash the Department of Education, weaponize the Department of Justice, & suggested there’d be violence if he’s arrested. This isn’t normal. We must vote for Joe Biden this election. Full stop.
A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump.
Let me make this perfectly clear. It's not about politics. I've voted for both parties.
It's about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love.
It's really that simple.
Yes, if Trump wins, our flawed democracy almost certainly fails. As Paul Krugman says, this is an important point for people who think not voting for Biden is somehow strategic. For others, it's more important that the right result in November means a better democracy and a chance for ever better policy.

There is another false argument floating around that the prosecution did not reveal the crime Trump was accused of committing until closing argument. That’s false. The offenses were charged in the indictment and the unlawful means were disclosed in legal filings in November 2023.
Remember how I spent nine years writing tomes about how the whole purpose of Donald Trump's political career has been to sell American domestic and foreign policy in advance—i.e., Bribery—and how he did that not just with Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE but during the pandemic?
More than 27 million women of reproductive age in the U.S. now live in states with abortion bans in effect.
It's time for Congress to heed @POTUS' calls and restore the protections of Roe once and for all.
Stormy Daniels turned out to be strong prosecution witness for evidence of motive. Details of her encounter with Trump show why he was so desperate to silence her before election. I talked with @GregTSargent on @TheNewRepublic’s Daily Blast podcast https://t.co/ypBxtj3zDv
Wow a report today finds donald trump demanded a straight up billion dollar bribe from oil executives. Republicans want to sell you out to big oil to line their pockets
Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck: “The Republican Party of today...is ignoring self-evident truths about the rule of law and limited government in exchange for self-serving lies.” (2023)
Russia can lose this war, and should. A defeated Russia means not only the end of senseless losses of young life in Ukraine. It is also Russia's chance to become a country where Russians might be protected by law and able to cast meaningful votes.
