Of all the speeches today, the 20th anniversary of the worst day that I have experienced, President Bush’s was the most moving, the most fitting. He honored the heroes who gave their lives, the victims and their families. Yet, he did more: he gave a clarion call for unity, ..

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

It only took 6 weeks for Trump to destroy what America took 100 years building…. Global leadership.

Now MAGA owns the results, and they won’t be pretty.

[Chelsea Clinton @ChelseaClinton]

Lies and conspiracies about my family and me are nothing new. Still, I am particularly troubled by the absurd claims that continue to pervade social media this week, fact checks be damned.

Facts: I’m proud of the Clinton Foundation work that has helped tens of millions of people worldwide. Our impact speaks for itself. I don’t take a cent from the Foundation. Never have. In fact, my family personally contributes meaningfully to our work each year.

Misinformation isn't just noise—it's a weapon. Efforts to undermine good work won't stop us, and we stand in solidarity with those who are committed to truth, public health, progress, and the endless potential of our future.

Investigative documentary "The Alabama Solution" offers "one of the most shocking, visceral depictions of our carceral state ever put to film," writes @thefilmgoer for @latimes. Proud to be a part of it.

Not all Alabamians are wild about Attorney General Steve Marshall’s signing onto a demand that wholesale chain Costco mothball its DEI policies.

Alabama’s #RedemptionEarned celebrates the parole of each worthy person, those who have been adequately punished, improved themselves, followed the rules, and are not a danger to public safety. #SecondChances #redemption

After 36 years in prison, Ike received his second chance. We welcome him home and commit to supporting his reentry into our community.

[Beth Shelburne @bshelburne]

REMINDER: It has been 4 years since @TheJusticeDept sued Alabama over its horrific prisons. DOJ findings included frequent use of excessive force that creates systemic constitutional violations. FOUR YEARS to self-correct, and yet, here we are.

Communication with family should be made easier NOT harder! Successful reentry depends on maintaining relationships. #redemptionearned.

[Alabama Appleseed @AlaAppleseed]

Good piece from @lyman_brian today highlighting the price gouging of families to keep in touch with their incarcerated loved ones. Data shows that contact with family members makes it less likely for incarcerated people to re-offend when they’re released from prison.

Alabama has more inactive voters this year than in 2020. What does that mean for 2024 and what should you do if you find out you've been made inactive? #lastdaytoregister🧵

BREAKING: Over 700 national security officials, who warn Trump "endangers" democracy, have just endorsed Kamala Harris from 2024.

Can we call him a "threat to democracy" now?

Here is the full letter:

"To the American People,

We are former public servants who swore an oath to the Constitution. Many of us risked our lives for it. We are retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders. We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We are loyal to the ideals of our nation—like freedom, democracy, and the rule of law—not to any one individual or party.

We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles. First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable. Each generation has a responsibility to defend it. That is why we, the undersigned, proudly endorse Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.

This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America’s democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them.

We do not make such an assessment lightly. We are trained to make sober, rational decisions. That is how we know Vice President Harris would make an excellent Commander-in-Chief, while Mr. Trump has proven he is not up to the job. As leaders, we know effective leadership requires in-depth knowledge, careful deliberation, understanding of your adversaries, and empathy for those you lead. It requires listening to those with expertise and not firing them when they disagree with you.

Vice President Harris has proven she is an effective leader able to advance American national security interests. Her relentless diplomacy with allies around the globe preserved a united front in support of Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression. She grasps the reality of American military deterrence, promising to preserve the American military’s status as the most “lethal” force in the world.

The contrast with Mr. Trump is clear: where Vice President Harris is prepared and strategic, he is impulsive and ill-informed. He has heaped praise on adversarial dictators like China’s Xi Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jung Un, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as well as the terrorist leaders of Hezbollah. Conversely, he has publicly and privately excoriated the leaders of our most steadfast allies, including the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, Canada, and Germany. He abandoned our Kurdish allies while ceding influence in the Middle East to Russia, Iran, and China.

Further, Mr. Trump denigrates our great country and does not believe in the American ideal that our leaders should reflect the will of the people. While Vice President Harris follows the democratic norms we expect of any political leader—including promising to abide by the outcome of the pending election and respecting the rule of law—Mr. Trump is the first president in American history to actively undermine the peaceful transfer of power, the bedrock of American democracy.

Mr. Trump threatens our democratic system; he has said so himself. He has called for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution. He said he wants to be a “dictator,” and his clarification that he would only be a dictator for a day is not reassuring. He has undermined faith in our elections by repeating lies, without evidence, of “millions” of fraudulent votes.

He has shown no remorse for trying to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th, promises to pardon the convicted perpetrators, and has made clear he will not respect the results of the 2024 election should he lose again.

That alone proves Mr. Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.

We believe, as President Ronald Reagan said, that “America is a shining city on a hill.” Yet in this election, one of President Reagan’s more ominous warnings is equally relevant. “Freedom,” he said, “is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

Our endorsement of Vice President Harris is an endorsement of freedom and an act of patriotism. It is an endorsement of democratic ideals, of competence, and of relentless optimism in America’s future. We hope you will join us in voting for her.

Sincerely,
President of National Security Leaders for America:
Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith, USN (Ret)"

Amazing. Someone shoots near Trump and 2 months later the House passes a bill providing Trump with the same Secret Service the President gets. It's been 12 years since 20 1st graders were murdered at Sandy Hook and school children get nothing but the hope they make it home alive.

40 out of 44 former Trump cabinet members will not endorse him again. A second Trump administration will be filled with what is left of the worst MAGA criminals, loonies, frauds, and weirdos.
