Honoring Charlotte’s bravery and that of Lindsey and all the others is very meaningful. 🙏 to Zohran’s recognition, and to them for speaking up to Cuomo and insisting when all else said he was inevitable that he was unacceptable.

Defund state education, superfund infrastructure of state repression. Priorities!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

[Jessica Ramos @jessicaramosqns]

Andrew Cuomo remains the same remorseless bully who sexually harassed all those women, covered up the deaths of all those grandparents, and didn’t sell all those books.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal.

For us to be of any use in a Trump world, we have to pay grave attention to our inner states, so we don’t perpetuate the autocrat’s goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion or constant disorientation. https://t.co/kdstPGm42K

Perhaps I started my criminal investigations of Trump a bit too late. But I'm comfortable that my successor Aileen Cannon will keep them going.

57% supported abortion rights ballot initiative in Florida. That's strong majority support. It only failed because Florida is one of only states that requires supermajority to pass ballot initiatives. That's a form of minority rule

If Trump loses some of the worst people in the world will be absolutely heartbroken.

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era.

It's long overdue.

[Andy Ostroy @AndyOstroy]

.@RuthBenGhiat in THE BACK ROOM on #Trump: "Everybody's fallen into line. Everybody's obeying in advance. And so, this time, because he also was given immunity for official acts by the Supreme Court, there would be no guardrails. And he's triply, quadruply desperate because he's a convicted felon. And he could go to jail. And when autocrats are in that mode, they'll do anything. And it's very difficult to stop them" https://t.co/1OzYwAIE2e

So powerful to hear our VP @KamalaHarris talk about dignity, independence and care. And common sense solutions that lift us up so we not only survive, but can thrive.

Admakers: please combine a drone shot of the Fla coast tomorrow with this @realDonaldTrump line:

“You’ll have more seafront property... Isn’t that a good thing? If I have a little property on the ocean, I have a little bit more property—I have a little bit more ocean.”

JD Vance's plan to appeal to women voters:

[Matilda Bress @matildabress]

Watching this debate, you can really tell JD Vance went to Yale Law school (derogatory)

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Jd Vance is essentially saying the GOP needs to “earn the trust” of women TO LET REPUBLICANS DECIDED WHEN THEY CAN VE FORCED TO HAVE CHILDREN

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

The lawsuit claims Trump, Vance, and their associates comments weren’t just insulting, but intended to cause real harm to the Haitian community.

Texas has purged about 500K eligable voters from voter rolls

Nebraska potentially changing its Electoral count to winner take all so they all go Red

Georgia is requiring 5-6M votes be counted by hand

Red states have closed more than 10,000 polling locations in Black/Latino neighborhoods

This is how Republicans are organizing to steal the election
