In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

@emptywheel @cthagod AP had one late last week.

This is a real photo.

At what point do we classify this makeup as a mental health issue?

"You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American" - Reagan, 1988

It was in the teleprompter loaded by Trump staff.

They are terrible liars.

To those who ask me how I can say free Palestine but still vote for Kamala.

My answer in short:

[Joe Perticone @JoePerticone]

Quick clarification: it’s actually Trump’s own former joint chiefs chairman and chief of staff calling him a fascist

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

TAPPER: He said Liz Cheney should be put before a war tribunal. That doesn't sound fascistic to you?

JD VANCE: No, of course it doesn't

A reminder:

It was Jared Kushner and the Trump administration who gave @washingtonpost writer Jamal Khashoggi to the Saudis, dismembered with a bone saw and liquefied in sulfuric acid.

But in a contest between Harris and Trump, Jeff Bezos can't make an endorsement.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Most people: The New York Times is the worst.

WaPo: Hold my beer.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

New statement from Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein: "We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy. Under Jeff Bezos’s ownership, the Washington Post’s news operation has used its abundant resources to rigorously investigate the danger and damage a second Trump presidency could cause to the future of American democracy and that makes this decision even more surprising and disappointing, especially this late in the electoral process."

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

As I reported on the air tonight, the Washington Post registered 1600+ cancelations of digital subscriptions in the first three hours after my story broke, according to internal WP correspondence I’ve reviewed.

That’s bananas.

Democracy dies in Foggy Bottom

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

Former WaPost Executive Editor Marty Baron on paper's decision not to endorse in WH race:

"This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. "

Belated apologies to the Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Argentines, Romanians, etc. etc. etc.: The USA seriously considering becoming the first country in history to go fascist in conditions of peace and prosperity

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

No, FEMA didn’t take disaster money and give it all to migrants
No, FEMA money isn’t “all gone”
No, not true Biden had no money for NC
No, Biden isn’t using FEMA to bribe migrants to illegally vote

Fact check on Trump’s many hurricane lies in NC today: https://t.co/kHbAh0bzCI

[PatAD @PatAD]

Asheville resident here to explain how pissed off the whole city is right now since Trump has closed down our busiest highways during the middle of a Monday. This is the last thing we needed.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

🚨Trump's former Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, suspects Putin is blackmailing Trump.

This should be a much bigger news story.
