We simply cannot thank Tulsi Gabbard enough for her brilliant debate prep with Donald Trump. 🤣🤣

As a traveler, I'm both a proud American and a citizen of the world — and I've got a few thoughts on this coming election.

This election is deeper than partisanship. It's far more than Republican versus Democrat. In the future, big challenges like pandemics, refugees, and climate change will be blind to borders. They'll be everyone's problem and only solved by working together as a family of nations.

The world needs not American isolation, but American leadership. Not the chaos of Trump, but the stability of @KamalaHarris.

Of course, how you vote is your choice. But if you believe, as I do, in the importance of nations working together constructively, the stakes are really high...and the best candidate is clear. Register to vote today at https://t.co/ghTvEdFIEP — and encourage your travelin’ friends to do the same!

Kamala Harris: she is Indian, she is black, and she's OWNING Trump 🔥

I just realized that I was so busy on Monday that I forgot to make a donation to @KamalaHarris during the call, so... I'll join in on the trend:

I will donate $.10 for every like on this tweet, $0.50 for every retweet, and $1 for every follow.

hey @birddogs . I've sent you three emails so far about my order. You've taken my money, yet provided no order update and no replies to my emails.

What's up with that?

[Ben Allen @bamabennel]

@DiscountTire - I've "unsubscribed" from your marketing emails FIVE TIMES now over the last two months...and I'm still getting them. Is the @FTC aware of the fact that you're not abiding by the CAN-SPAM Act rules?

Hey @CityofAtlanta @MidtownATL @ATL311 What do you do when a driver blatantly throws trash out of their car in the middle of the street?! North Ave/Peachtree

@MorningBrew ...I LOVE your podcast with @Neal_Freyman & @tobydoyhowell ...but really not a fan of the @factormeals ad... now, I wanted to try them out though, but the URL is just popping up a 404 error... :-|

Fastest way to tank your reputation? Let @HMSHostSupport @HMSHostCareers run your ATL airport location @EccoMidtown @FifthGrouper …slow and lackluster service, undercooked & not even sliced steak on a “salad” which needed extra cleaning and didn’t have dressing #bad #awful

@CityofAtlanta 10pm construction that is THIS loud??! What the heck ?

If I have learned anything during this football game: I’d rather give Jersey Mike’s all my lunch money vs. ever ordering a Subway sandwich, ever, in the future…

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

RETWEET if you consider Rep. Adam Schiff an American hero.

PSA: Senate Republicans just blocked a vote to pass legislation to protect every American’s fundamental right to use birth control. Yes, birth control.
