[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@BarackObama deported far more illegal immigrants than Trump, targeting those w/criminal records & the newly arrived. It was done carefully, responsibly & lawfully.
What we're seeing in LA is calculated to provoke & escalate. It's a made-for TV reality show, produced by Donald J. Trump.

Robert DeNiro at the Tony's: “I’m gonna say one thing: Fuck Trump!"

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow! This guy nails it!

“You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the CONSTITUTION, not the fascists in the White House - they’re sending men in fatigues and weapons of war into our communities!”

BREAKING: Make sure every American sees this New York Times headline.

[Noah Garfinkel @NoahGarfinkel]

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Harris didn’t just win this debate.

She destroyed Trump in just about every way.

America is ready to turn the page. We are exhausted!

Oh, and do you know how you will know Harris dominated tonight? They will all blame the moderators.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Donald Trump should be INDICTED — AGAIN.

PBS now reports Trump told Israeli Prime Minster Netanyahu to NOT agree to a cease fire because it would help Kamala Harris.

This is a violation of the Logan Act and should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The Harris-Walz campaign just dropped their first Tim Walz video, introducing him to America.

Please watch and share widely!!

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

This! 🤣

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

Let’s get 500 retweets on this new video highlighting who Tim Walz is

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Governor Walz doesn’t just have the experience to be vice president, he has the values and the integrity to make us proud. And as we saw last night, @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz make a great team. 

Now let’s do everything we can – volunteer, donate, organize – from now until November to help them get elected. https://t.co/spJ8IbtoBX

I'm so sorry. Godspeed, Mr. President. 💔🇺🇸

BREAKING: Popular billionaire Mark Cuban gives a powerful endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection in 2024 and uses the opportunity to brutally torch Donald Trump.

Cuban is basically the anti-Elon Musk at this point...

"If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden," said Cuban during a visit to the White House.

The trip was part of his concerted effort to lower prescription drug prices. He participated in a roundtable on the topic, representing his Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co.

Biden has had historic success on this front and signed legislation that capped insult costs at $35 a month for Medicare recipients — a life-changing and even lifesaving change for many.

Republicans on the other hand have zero interest in lowering drug prices because they are bought and paid for by pharmaceutical companies.

Cuban is right to endorse Joe Biden!

Please retweet and ❤️ to show that you endorse Joe Biden for reelection as well — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Biden had the best response to Seth Meyer’s question about his age, invoking Trump’s history of cheating on his wives:

Meyers: “How do you address concerns about your age?”

Biden: “First, you have to look at the other guy. He’s about as old as me but he can't even remember his wife's name. It's also about how old your ideas are. He wants to take us back 60 years. It's about the future”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”
