Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play.

Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris.

Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

People are talking about fascism. I've heard from people who are baffled that we haven't been speaking of fascism more and earlier, and from people who want to know what it means – and from people who want me to explain why fascism is bad.
Please share!

Just because Donald Trump acts goofy doesn’t mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Lately, some of the people who know Trump the best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again.

REMINDER: Not one member of Wisconsin’s GOP delegation voted for the infrastructure funding that is rebuilding our roads and bridges—including the Blatnik Bridge.

Pass it on.

More jobs have been created during the Biden-Harris presidency than during any single presidential term in history.

Trump doesn't often tell the truth, but he was right about this:

"The economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans." — Donald Trump in 2004

Undocumented immigrants paid $97B in taxes in 2022.

They paid a higher state/local tax rate than the top 1% in a majority of states.

They contributed $26B to Social Security, which they can't benefit from.

Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders."

There are other Opus Dei connections.

Vance was a keynote at the Napa Institute. It was founded and is run by Opus Dei co-operator Tim Busch. Opus Dei has sponsored its events.

“Probably 20% of the people there are Opus Dei,” Busch told me.

Vance has long been a major supporter of Kevin Roberts’s efforts to transform the Heritage Foundation from a bastion of Reagan-era conservatism into the de facto institutional home of Trumpism.

[Gareth Gore @gareth_gore]

Vance embraced this idea in his (now withdrawn) foreword to Roberts’ book.

“We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets,” he wrote, echoing Roberts’ own words.

This is a guy who was seen as “very loyal” by Franco, a brutal dictator who murdered thousands of opponents in peacetime.

The guy who created an abusive organisation that has been formally accused by federal prosecutors of trafficking teenage girls.

13) It’s still shocking how close America came to losing our democracy on January 6th, 2024. Trump’s coup nearly succeeded.

Utterly shocking to see this evidence laid out and realize that corrupt judges on SCOTUS have kept Trump from being held accountable for his crimes up to now.

When you see this mountain of evidence, it sure looks like Trump isn’t running to help America. He’s running to make this case go away and stay out of jail.

9) As Trump’s pressure campaign on Pence ramped up, Pence kept notes. At one point, having 5 pages of contemporaneous notes from a meeting of all the batshit crazy stuff Trump was asserting and how Trump wanted Pence to throw out the lawful certifications.

On January 5th, when Pence refused—yet again, Trump threatened Pence: “I’m going to have to say you did a great disservice.”

[James Connor @toJamesConnor]

2) Before election day, Trump told campaign insiders that he would declare victory regardless of the results.
That he would assert that only votes on election day counted.

Reason? Trump wanted to exclude mail-in ballots that he knew favored Biden (despite having voted by mail himself).

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator Mitch McConnell, just admitted it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this

@MarkJacob16 You wouldn’t know Trump killed the immigration bill just from reading the headline. Thanks NYTimes!

“In the past 4 years a reliably conser­vative majority on the high court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, has embarked on a remarkable spree against history and reality, ignoring or eliding facts in decisions involving school prayer, public health, homophobia, race, climate change, abortion and clean water.”
