When McCoy's responsibilities grew at Turning Point, he and his wife sold their home in Thousand Oaks and bought a home in the Phoenix area. He’s sold the Arizona home and bought a different place in TO. He also owns a home in Coronado near San Diego.

Banned rainbows and 'forced outing.' Will elections reshape this relentless school board? https://t.co/enYJba9yAx

Four years ago today, Trump told Americans to inject bleach on national television

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

Truth: Vance's job was to "sane-wash the crazy"

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

JD Vance used every trick we learned at Yale Law School — trying to sane-wash Donald Trump (and memory hole all the bigoted, nutty stuff Vance himself has been saying).

Do not fall for it.

Vance lied about everything, all night long: he said he never supported a national abortion ban (he did), that American energy production is down (it’s up), and that we had a peaceful transfer of power in 2020 (as if January 6 never happened).

A man who will lie on national television this brazenly about facts that anyone can find with a simple google search — should never be anywhere close to the Oval Office.

Did you get your voter guide? Need some good advice. Here you go! https://t.co/6ghpwvvMaY

[ConejoDemocrats @conejodems]

Easy liars always look good up on the stage. They make terrible leaders. Locally, we watched Kevin McNamee take credit at the Chamber forum for other people's work while offering no viable solutions. Liars gotta lie.

[Democratic Governors @DemGovs]

JD Vance can't handle the truth.

[ConejoDemocrats @conejodems]

this is the story here in Thousand Oaks where 1/3 of the single family homes are now rentals owned by investors instead of residents. They showed up after the Countrywide meltdown with cash offers. We need Harris' Opportunity Economy

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Housing costs were a big topic at the VP debate. JD Vance tried to blame immigrants (as usual), but Tim Walz was right about the role of Wall Street in pricing you out of a home. Watch this.

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (@TriumphICDHQ) reports from the spin room after a VP debate between one man who thinks Trump is a mentally ill, fascist psychopath... and Tim Walz

America, you've got a really clear choice.

Wow! This new Harris ad is getting played everywhere!

Just Jorts, telling it like it is. Don't let that ballot sit there unopened. Need some tips, go to our website - https://t.co/krQ1QYDegm

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

Voting isn’t just about the president. I guarantee you there is a race on your ballot that is filled with the most fucked up weird drama imaginable. Get involved

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

For the sake of the Palestinian people and our own standing in the world we must not provide another dollar for the Netanyahu war machine.
