@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump What a disgusting vile lie. And if we do swing blue, it will be due to the reprehensible conduct of the current Republican party. That party should reform within to promote candidates and policies that folks will vote for. Are you afraid of brown people? black people?

@TennisChannel No Saudi woman can wear these in public

[Barbara Alexander @barbalexand]

@Tennis But, the Saudi women cannot appear in public without a robe and veil! Shame on WTA.

[Barbara Alexander @barbalexand]

@annamerlan Ridiculous of course. Cabinet level appointments need Senate confirmation, correct? Another example of the absolute incompetence of those surrounding DJT.

[Barbara Alexander @barbalexand]

@GreekGodOfHops It does say "under suspicion" so no doubt investigation ongoing. This is a prudent step to take even prior to a final conclusion. I doubt this issue is resolved.

@newscentermaine We know residents of Puerto Rico cannot vote but natives of Puerto Rico who are residents in the US CAN vote and that is who is being urged to vote next week--those living in PA, NY, FL, etc. etc.

@powellAtlantic @washingtonpost Sorry. You miss the point. If Bezos can do this at the 11th hour, he can make other changes that impact the "independence" of the reporting staff. Lost trust in entire institution. Have to send message best way we can.

I dearly thanks these Muslim leaders in Dearborn. Leadership is doing the wisest thing possible for all concerned. These folks are truly Leaders.

@ASFried And no Social Security, no Medicare, No Medicaid, and no federal laws or mandates for clean air or water.

Why am I only seeing trump ads during the football games today?

[Barbara Alexander @barbalexand]

@BillKristol Some claim this is a comedian and these were jokes. But how could any sane campaign think these so called jokes are appropriate for a campaign to attract voters!? It is not a nightclub. Disgusting

@mmpadellan The rules usually apply to the interior of the polling location or with certain feet of the entrance.

@jaketapper Baloney. If the owners bow to Trump, it is not a newspaper that will survive with an independent press. Get it?

[Barbara Alexander @barbalexand]

@CAKitchener Sorry. This decision by your owner is likely to cause future risks to your reporting. You can’t promise any independence now. Not within your power.

[Barbara Alexander @barbalexand]

@MattGertz I have cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post. This is pure cowardice in light of the extreme differences and risks to our democracy in this election. To claim that someone who refuses to accept election results is not worthy of your opposition is disgusting.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Exclusive: Russian documents reviewed by The Post expose the workings of a Moscow network that has become a potent source of deepfakes and misinformation that targets Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. https://t.co/1NCOH6zk8y

@AARPMD @CaringAcrossMd @TammyBres @CaringMattersMC @AARPadvocates Absolutely a treasure. Congratulations

@ramez So what part needs to be made not a monopoly? Multiple distribution lines? Generation? Transmission? Take a look at the expensive restructuring states and see how that is working. To destroy the current model you need a well designed alternative.

@VinGuptaMD @AnaCabrera @MSNBC Try growing with the threat of nuclear bombs and the modern gun scourge that kills kids. Climate change is a real problem. And the poor will suffer. But too much of this debate needs to focus on the most immediate threats Instead of promoting the existential loss of the planet
