We won't last 33 more months of this.

This must stop.

We must make it stop.

What Kristi Noem has done marks her as a villain with few peers in America’s long story.

For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.

Putting aside the (big) questions about Greene's motivations and sincerity, I feel compelled to say that, in breaking with Trump, she's doing it in exactly the way I would tell her to do it if I were her political consultant.

I mean, Israel has literally (and illegally) bombed multiple - *multiple* - Middle East countries this year *alone*. Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (Gaza and the West Bank).

When politicians can be bought, every vote becomes an auction.

My biggest fear is that Republicans have rightly assumed that whatever they get rid of, or break, or undermine, Democrats won’t have the guts or enthusiasm to bring back. This will be the new normal.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

As the son of a disabled WW2 vet, I agree.

[Bruce Bartlett @BruceBartlett]

Here's how reporters at the Washington Post and LA Times can get even with their cowardly bosses--just do your jobs! Stop sanewashing Trump, stop bothsidesing him and Harris, stop covering up his obvious dementia, advocacy of fascism and disdain for democratic norms. That's all.

[Qondi @QondiNtini]

All the critiques about VP Kamala Harris not doing “serious interviews” miss how this convo, on “Call Her Daddy” on VP using the government to rectify the power imbalance of abuse/ control, is better than the gotcha “serious journalist” interviews

[Bruce Bartlett @BruceBartlett]

Immediately after the debate, Harris should call an impromptu press conference and systematically go through the questions and Trump's answers (or non-answers). She should stay all night if necessary to fully dissect his lying and gibberish. Like Hillary Clinton did in 1994.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, the economist who asked Donald Trump the question surrounding childcare funding just appeared on CNN to say she was completely insulted and baffled by Trump’s response. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.
