@kernel_wheat @TomTiffanyWI This is life in the Pacific northwest and has been for a long time. Sorry it's hitting you, but some of us have been dealing with it for much longer.

Actor Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump’s 2nd term: “We’ve lost decency. We’ve lost civility. We’ve lost respect for the rule of law. We’ve normalized verbal abuse. We’ve normalized bullying. Out the window goes character, integrity. We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.”

Thank you, 60 Minutes.
Thank you for not bending the knee. Thank you.

@MeghanMcCain This is the fault of Trump and any Republican Senators who vote to approve him no one else.

@RadioFreeTom My husband's parents and siblings are all Trump supporters. If I could cut them out of our lives I would but ultimately that's his decision. Definitely in no rush to see them anytime soon though.

@RadioFreeTom I'm spending the weekend with a few mom friends and we are trying to remain optimistic but we are all terrified for Tuesday and depending on the outcome what it means for us and our children's futures.

@typewriteralley When I road the bus from the park n ride at Ash Way pre-pandemic the parking lot was almost always full by 6:45. 8:30 isn't great but it's technically better then what I experienced.

@AmandiOnAir My dad, he's a Vietnam vet and said he can never vote for him again after 1/6.

@pattonoswalt @tcm My 80 year-old aunt told me the "good old days" were only good for white men. She has no desire to go back.

@RockyMountViews I have small kids so probably a.

NEW AD: This November, it's not just about a vote, it's about reclaiming what is ours.

In 8 states, including AZ, NV, FL, and now MO -- women's reproductive rights are on the ballot.

The stakes could not be higher.
We won't let them turn back the clock.

@DeeWatchesTV I did that a few weeks ago and realized my kids had outgrown all their pants. Good thing it's still shorts weather.

[Grace Henscheid @gjhenscheid]

@PpollingNumbers Hell no.

[litquidity @litcapital]

Imagine not being from the US and watching this as part of our presidential election process

[Grace Henscheid @gjhenscheid]

@DeeWatchesTV We are in NE Seattle and with some work done to improve it but plenty left to do our house has doubled in value in 10 years. We could never afford it today. It's crazy.

[Grace Henscheid @gjhenscheid]

@GovernorLittle @POTUS That's already the law. Why a pointless executive order?

[Grace Henscheid @gjhenscheid]

@ElieNYC I was able to vote for the first time in 2000. When people ask why I'm so disgruntled I include that in my explanation. It was such a disheartening experience but I still vote every election.

[Grace Henscheid @gjhenscheid]

@DeeWatchesTV I'm sorry the weather is making it hard. We just got back from a week in Southern Idaho seeing family and it was sunny but miserably hot and we couldn't really enjoy it except in the morning. Fingers crossed our weather improves soon.

[Grace Henscheid @gjhenscheid]

@KIRO7Seattle Haha is this the same people who thought Patty Murry was in danger of losing her seat. Washington isn't flipping Red this election.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

HOLY MOLY!!! President Biden just knocked his speech out of the park today.

You have to see this.

Biden got very real in his closing remarks:

“Let me close with this. I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easily as I used to. I don't talk as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to.

Well, I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, when you get knocked down, you get back up.

I know what it will take to bring this economy to everybody. I know what it'll take to rally the world to stand up against Putin and defend freedom.

And I know what it takes to keep the world safe and free for the years ahead. Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn't believe, with all my heart and soul that I can do this job because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.”

Wow.

This was a masterful speech.
