Why would the world’s richest man be “f****d” if Donald Trump loses?

One word: Accountability.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

RETWEET this. Every day. Until Election Day.

Anyone anywhere in America who tells you Donald Trump will be better for the economy needs this tweeted at them IMMEDIATELY.

@TomFitton This is embarrassingly stupid.

OK so I'm angry, really angry, that there's no meaningful treatment for Alzheimer's Disease. https://t.co/oMx7Qlalpn

I live up on this hill. I've walked up and down so many times over the 10+ years. If that thing was still there, I would take it ALL the time. ALL THE TIME. I agree with the comments, we don't need to lanes of cars going up and down. Bring it back, #Seattle

In Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Paul Penzone admonished Wendy Rogers, an election-denying state senator, for inciting a Saturday protest at a vote-tally center. He said not only could she be held criminally liable, but she should pay for security.

Interesting. I hate it when “the media” get blamed for misinformation. https://t.co/cjZVcvsfDI

Seattle’s City Council earlier voted unanimously to phase out gas-powered leaf blowers, those toxic, ear-splitting machines. The fight is not over! It now needs a tiny budget appropriation to move ahead. Join https://t.co/D0MJtaYfwD and make your voice heard.

@seattleshines AP Diaz: We are happy you’re coming to Seattle! We hope you will bring fresh eyes and enthusiasm to our effort to rid Seattle of gas leaf blowers. Just a few years has made this change very doable. https://t.co/Zr6tUWUWgc

@charlesornstein This is so immensely horrible, on so many levels.

[Charles Ornstein @charlesornstein]

This is a staggering thing.

@SandiDoughton @seattletimes Wow!

@DrTomFrieden And please don’t forget that old sage, “Wash your hands!” Often overlooked, but hands are everywhere, including your face and nose. I imagine that everything I touch “out there” is covered with a thin layer of pet poop, and treat my hands accordingly.

@dahliabazzaz The booster was worse than the other two doses for me. The joint and muscle aches were more intense and my fever was higher. But one night and part of the next day and I was good to go. Meanwhile, Glen, with Pfizer booster, was a little tired. Period.

[Carol Ostrom @costrom]

@jontalton We just watched it. A little too slapsticky but exactly right! Streep creepily good as the Trump-like president.

[Carol Ostrom @costrom]

@dahliabazzaz Yak Trax or similar on your feet when it gets icy will help a lot. Take care of yourself, gonna get slippery.
