This election result isn't about Dem messaging.

Their messaging during the campaign was about helping the middle class, continuing with sound economic policies, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they eloquently delivered their vision better beautifully.

This election result is about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and an irresponsible media that caters to those realities.

There is no messaging that can overcome prejudice and ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for Trump even being the nominee and getting 75 million votes.

We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality and chosen to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are.

The Dems didn't fail America, they just exist in a nation where far too many people don't pay attention or care to understand what's actually happening. Maybe they will now.

I just cancelled it too. I don’t blame Bezos for wanting to protect his business from a vain, vengeful martinet, but he should not have bought the Post. I will miss George Will!

I’m standing in the airport, read this and laughed. Let’s go, silent women! It’s going to be okay. You are doing the right thing 🙌

Dan Rather is rather damn good.

I'm going to post this video every day until the election

The GOP has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We have eight months to save our republic & ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office again. Join me in the fight for our nation’s freedom. https://t.co/V4otPCFdY6

“In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson's bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American Ethane company.

“While American Ethane was co-founded by American John Houghtaling, at the time it was 88 percent owned by three Russian nationals—Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. Nikolaev is known to be a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

It's only a matter time before something tragic happens. Judges are going to have to figure out how to deal with a defendant who willingfully, defiantly targets judges, prosecutors and jurors, and hides behind his status as a candidate. https://t.co/DLNfhSFuuk

Donald Trump is really mad at Fox News for showing his “big orange picture” with his “chin pulled way back.”

Whatever you do today, please do NOT RT this horrible picture of Trump. He’s been going through a lot recently.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

With an Orthodox priest blessing a large newly erected statue of Stalin in the Pskov region of 🇷🇺, history of the country is really taking a tragic turn. Tens of millions of Russian were killed by this brutal dictator, including many thousands of priests.

THIS IS BIG: Rep. Katie Porter is investigating an alleged bribery scheme involving Donald Trump and a real estate developer who allegedly donated to a super PAC in exchange for Trump pardons.

@RonFilipkowski Who cares? He is an embarrassment and blemish on the nation.

Yesterday, the drought’s impact hit close to home. After an absence of a week, Mweya, Mwitu, & Eden reappeared at the stockades, but hearts’ sank; baby Mojo was not with them. Tragically, his absence spoke for itself. [video from yesterday] Full update at https://t.co/Qyy4joRq5b

United we stand. Divided we fall.
If the world's democracies don't embrace this and say it in the mirror every morning until it sinks in, we can expect this century to be filled with suffering for all. Putin won't stop. It's not just about #Ukraine. We must defend humanity itself

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Here’s some history for you, Marjorie. Russia was part of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union was Communist.
Putin was a member of the KGB.
Communism & KGB = bad.

America won the Cold War.
It was a great victory for freedom.
Now you stand with Putin against freedom & America.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

This is exactly what Putin wants. If we’d had Republicans like this in the 1980s, we would have lost the Cold War.
