A Bitter Pill: I'm struggling to find words this morning, my friends. So I will defer to the wisdom and eloquence of Abraham Lincoln:
First: "Adhere to your purpose and you will soon feel as well as you ever did. On the contrary, if you falter, and give up, you will lose the power of keeping any resolution, and will regret it all your life."
Second, one of my all-time favorite Lincoln quotes: "Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."
For now, find community and comfort in your loved ones, your friends, your neighbors. Support one another.
Because the struggle for American democracy WILL continue.
Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris
Lawrence O'Donnell tears into the media, "The very same news media that ignored all the times Trump has called American citizens and American voters scum and garbage and actually tried to turn Joe Biden's use of the word garbage into a controversial new story today."
More than 75,000 people choosing a new generation of leadership in America.
More than 75,000 people who refuse to go back.
More than 75,000 people saying we can do this together.
Mark Cuban: “People think he’s a great businessman. If the job of the presidency was investing in real estate, picking curtains and fixtures, he’d probably be the most qualified. But it’s not.”
My new piece for @MSNBC: "Trump’s promise to fire Jack Smith is a final warning to voters that he is proudly and enthusiastically corrupt to his core."
Let's not give Trump the chance to be prosecutor, judge, & jury in his own criminal cases. #VOTE

I was a Republican for 45 years. The fact that this mean-spirited, demented fool Trump is the nominee of the party for three straight election cycles is just unfathomable.
In 2020, I reminded my fellow citizens that the ballot was how we restore the soul of our nation.
Today, we are asked once again to make a choice, between a darker version of ourselves, or a more hopeful future for our children and grandchildren.
I choose the love of my country over my party. I choose the noble responsibility of my civic duty. I choose my conscience because it reminds me of what I value as a citizen. I choose to stand with my neighbors against those who would lie to them, undermine their freedoms, turn neighbor against neighbor for the sake of one man. I choose a leader who, despite our political differences, values us more than herself.
Today I voted for @KamalaHarris, because I choose hope.
