As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵
Arnold Palmer's daughter responds to Trump's vulgarity about her dad's manhood:"My dad didn’t like people who...were nasty and rude...He had no patience for people who are dishonest & cheat...He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility & ...Trump’s lack of character." Enough said
Trump didn't "shatter norms" HE BROKE THE LAW
Trump didn't misspeak. HE LIED.
Trump didn't have a problem with women. 25+ WOMEN ACCUSED HIM OF RAPE OR SEXUAL ASSAULT.
“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”
- Vice President Dick Cheney
@bec7ford I initially thought the raygun footage was a joke/tongue in cheek thing - yikes. The couch thing - 12 yr old me still appreciates it amidst the dumpster fire that is Trump/Vance.
Great work by @JuddLegum here: a list confirming that Trump lied about Project 2025 and implicitly showing us the *reason* he lied.
The reason is this: this is *his* plan; written for him by *his* team; and he *knows* most Americans oppose it.
So he must *hide* his involvement.
America must thank actress - not journalist - Taraji Henson for helping make Project 2025 a mainstream conversation. She looked straight into the camera at the @BET Awards & told the audience to read about it, warning of the threat. Maybe America should listen to Black women.
If Australia can afford to pay a foreign-owned private company around $2 million dollars per year to house each detainees in 🇳🇷, they can afford to pay for the accommodation of Australian women and children living in a domestic violence crisis.
BREAKING: President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris launch a scathing joint attack on Donald Trump after he endorses prosecuting women who have abortions.
They did NOT mince words this time....
"Donald Trump's latest comments leave little doubt: if elected he'll sign a national abortion ban, allow women who have an abortion to be prosecuted and punished, allow the government to invade a woman's privacy to monitor their pregnancies, and put IVF and contraception in jeopardy nationwide," their statement reads.
"The horrific and devastating stories in states like Florida, Texas and Arizona with extreme abortion bans unleashed by Trump overturning Roe are just the beginning if he wins," they add.
"Simply put: November's election will determine wether women in the United States have reproductive freedom, or whether Trump's new government will continue its assault to control women's health care decisions," they go on.
"With the voters on their side this November, President Biden and Vice President Harris will put an end to this chaos and ensure Americans' fundamental freedoms are protected," they say.
This is absolutely spot-on. Too many Americans are still underestimating just how bad a second Trump term would be. We can't allow it to happen.
