In 2024, we have a clear choice. “We, the people” versus “me, myself, and I.”

I know who I’m voting for. Make your plan to vote for @KamalaHarris and @TimWalz today.

One party and one party alone is responsible for rise in political violence: The horrific nature of the shooting should not stand in the way of the media’s examination of Trump’s role in the degeneration of our political discourse. They should press him and fellow Republicans to explain (and renounce) talk of televised military tribunals for Jan. 6 committee members and threats to execute the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump’s newly announced running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) — who on Saturday made the unsupported accusation the shooting was “not just some isolated event” — should be scrutinized as well.

The dismissal of the docs case is so bereft of legal reasoning as to be utterly absurd. Has to be appealed and this incompetent judge removed

This is all about delay-and the hope that an unbound (by the Supreme Court) elected Trump will have the ability to dismiss the cases

I agree…

If the media, pundits and Democratic establishment worked this hard FOR Joe Biden instead of against him he’d be up 20 points right now.

@Scaramucci is recommending the right tactics! Biden’s inner circle should take heed….

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

I went to President Biden‘s fundraiser in East Hampton and I thought he did quite well reading the teleprompter today and meeting with people. However, that is not going to be enough to prove to the American people that he’s up for another 4 years.

This is an excellent evaluation from close friend Whitney Tilson and something the campaign should consider:

President Biden needs to appear in unscripted settings and handle fair but tough questioning (further demonstrations of his ability to read from a teleprompter will not assuage my concerns). Four ideas come to mind:
•Hold an hour-long press conference at the White House (and continue holding them every week until the election);
•Do an interview with 60 Minutes this week, to be aired next Sunday;
•Meet with the editorial board of the New York Times so that they can see that they were wrong to call for his resignation; and
•Do another appearance on a late-night show, similar to the one four months ago with Seth Meyers.

This can all be done in the next week – there is no time to waste.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo

President Biden talks about the importance of defending Ukraine during D-Day Ceremony: "To surrender to bullies, to bow down to dictators is simply unthinkable! Were we to do that, it means we'd be forgetting what happened here at these hallowed beaches."

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

This is a travesty

I’ve know Tony Fauci for over two decades

He is a brilliant and honorable man

He has been the principle advisor on infectious disease issues to 7 Presidents — Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, Trump, and Biden

He is widely admired in the scientific and medical community

Did he get everything right in the pandemic? Of course not. No one did

But to impugn his motives or his expertise is beyond the pale

It also sends a very clear signal to public servants — politicians will use your service to our country against you if it leads to political gain

It’s shameful and leaves our country much worse off

Why would you want to serve if you get treated this way?

Terrible

GOP debate on Senate’s border deal before its release

Donalds: “The Senate’s deal is trash.”

Crenshaw: “The height of stupidity is having a strong opinion on something you know nothing about. I don’t have a strong opinion on the bill because I haven’t seen it. Nobody has.”

Burchett: “Well, it’s a crappy bill. I mean, it’s terrible. The thing is terrible.”

Cramer: “There’s not a bill yet. We haven’t seen a bill yet. So I don’t why we would undermine the effort to make the country safer.”

MTG: “That’s not a border deal. That’s a slap in the American people’s face.”

Cassidy: “You gotta read the bill. I mean, don’t be ignorant. Read the bill.”

Mitch McConnell: “America’s sovereignty is being tested here at home, and our credibility is being tested by emboldened adversaries around the world. The challenges we face will not resolve themselves, nor will our adversaries wait for America to muster the resolve to meet them. The Senate must carefully consider the opportunity in front of us and prepare to act.”
