Pres. Biden: "This is the last time I will stand here at Arlington as commander in chief. It's been the greatest honor of my life; to lead you, to serve you, to care for you, to defend you, just as you defended us, generation, after generation, after generation." #VeteransDay
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
They paid the ultimate price for your freedom. You live your life the way you do because of them.
@longgonejohn81@johnkriesel FALSE. Walz's January 2022 economic disclosure with the state showed no property ownership at the time. The governor and his family live at the governor's residence in St. Paul, which is owned by the state. Walz sold his home in Mankato before moving to St. Paul.
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
We won't mince words. The reelection of Donald Trump is a disaster for the Boundary Waters. This is not hyperbole. This is not a case of Trump-Derangement Syndrome. This is based on Trump’s campaign promises and attacks he has already made on the Boundary Waters.🧵

America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.
With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.
If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
🚨 BREAKING:
Wow. This heart-rending ad, when tested, moves swing-state men 2.5 points away from Trump.
Massive.
Please share everywhere.
Women are dying NOW in states with extreme bans. If Republicans win, a national abortion ban is next. Don't look away. #MAGAAbortionBan
Keep spreading the word about voting in Minnesota, so we can get back to #1 in America in voter turnout! (Our “Here We Vote” ad has already been seen millions of times.) 🗳️ 🇺🇸
NEW: The Kamala Harris campaign just released its final ad & I’m reduced to tears. Kamala Harris is the leader we need. Working for her has been an honor of the lifetime & we are going to fight like never before these next 3 days to get her elected as president. Watch & share.
I miss the Grand Old Party (GOP) and long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. (We idealistic hippies sometimes need to be reined in by practical conservatism.) But this election is different… and much deeper than D versus R and left versus right. It’s a clear choice, and the survival of our democracy is on the line.
The world needs not the chaos of Trump but the stability of Kamala Harris. The world needs America.
The economy has grown 12.6% under this Administration—more than any presidential term in 25 years.
We have gone from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression to the strongest economy in the world.
I appreciate all the support thus far on my HOF campaign. I believe your support has helped the committee take notice. I’d like to give back and make it fun.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
