The American People summoned their moral constitution, repudiated Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans forever, and demanded moral leadership from their elected representatives, reclaiming for America the moral authority required to be the leader of the free world once again.

[Evan Wolfson @evanwolfson]

When you vote today, use your power to repudiate Trump and the war he has waged on Americans and so many things we’d built over the years.Trump and his confederates and enablers are on the ballot. Vote them out. Vote Democratic. 🇺🇸

[Evan Wolfson @evanwolfson]

If you hurry, you can join me in voting early today. Otherwise, please make sure to vote on Nov. 3. We are in a marathon to defend and reinvigorate our democracy — and voting out Trump’s enablers in these midterm elections will be a big step forward. Vote Democratic! 🇺🇸

[Evan Wolfson @evanwolfson]

Stop Trump by voting out his Republican enablers. 🇺🇸

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Overturned elections. Attacks on police. A demolished East Wing. A new war. Trump has already done what no one imagined. Don’t wait to see what’s next.

[Evan Wolfson @evanwolfson]

“The Republican congressional candidates on the ballot this year deserve to pay a price for both the damage their party has done and the damage it has failed to stop. In the face of a power-grabbing president, they have mostly shown cowardice.”

Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

"Everything we love is on the line" in the US election. I argue that President Trump has systematically undone the strategy that since the 19th century has made the US the world's leading country. He has eroded our sources of greatness.

So what's at stake isn't just affordability or data centers or the Iran war. It's America's future: https://t.co/rUZ3LYpjaR

As Barney Frank used to say, voting is not dating. It is a strategic choice as to which of two options will best help move things forward for you, your causes, and your country. This election, the choice is clear and urgent: Vote Democratic. 🇺🇲

Trump is a traitor. Vote out his Republican enablers. 🇺🇸

I just donated, @TimothyDSnyder. Like most Americans, I stand with Ukraine and our allies (and our national security and liberal democracy as well). 🇺🇸

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

You can donate here to help protect Ukrainians from Russian drone attacks. Please do so if you can.

Some in Congress criticizing Trump's policy toward Ukraine. Fine but not nearly enough. Time to pass legislation by veto-proof margin providing eco & military aid to Ukraine and imposing sanctions on Russia. This Potus has shown he cannot be trusted with US foreign policy here.

[Richard N. Haass @RichardHaass]

US policy toward Russia & Ukraine is, in a word, shameful. Trump continues to do things FOR Russia & TO Ukraine. But where are the others, from @SecRubio to Republican senators? Do they really want to be seen by history as accomplices to appeasement? https://t.co/mREfLgwwAV

[Evan Wolfson @evanwolfson]

Yes. Like most Americans, I stand with Ukraine. Please share/repost if you do, too. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇸🇺🇦

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am grateful to all of you who are trying to keep Europe and the United States together.

There are so many people with good hearts in America who sincerely want evil to lose and Ukraine to stand strong. These are the very hearts that helped Europe defend its freedom, and that fought on D-Day, won the Cold War, and want what is best for Europe. Hearts that want to be allies, not to divide or humiliate Europe. I believe most Americans still feel this way. And at the end of the day, the American people will have their say.

Putin will listen to America if America really turns up the heat on him and makes one thing clear – either he chooses peace, or he gets no more money for his war.

From an address to the participants of the European Council meeting. (2/5)

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

It looks like Putin told Trump that Ukraine was causing high gas prices, a lie that is convenient for Trump. Obviously it’s Trump’s war in Iran that is the issue. But Trump can’t accept that.

So now Trump wants to give Putin a lot of money for Russian diesel, which won’t do anything to markets and won’t even help him in the midterms, though I bet Putin told him it would.

But since Russia and Iran are allies, the shift in US policy and any US taxpayer money that Trump gives Putin will help both the Russian war on Ukraine as well as the regime in Iran. Trump got his pocket picked as usual but the money is ours and the deeper price is the visible shift of US policy to support Russia’s war of aggression.

In other words, Trump makes the world more dangerous by extending two wars and gets nothing in return, not even for himself (unless there was a side deal, which can’t be ruled out).

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

Today’s anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel — with the resultant trauma inflicted on Palestinians & Israelis — is an opportunity to underscore the need for new leadership & constructive activism. Here are lessons for how to get to a better place.

[James Duke Mason @JamesDukeMason]

In moments of fear and division, it’s easy to feel like progress is slipping away. But @evanwolfson reminds us that history tells a different story: change is possible when people organize, defend democracy, and refuse to give in to despair.

This week on Duke’s Download, we talk about equality, authoritarianism, LGBTQ+ rights, and why our shared future depends on protecting each other.
