Republicans want to give out nearly $5 TRILLION in tax giveaways mostly sucked up by millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations.

Democrats want to invest in opportunity for everybody.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

So let me get this straight, he wants contracts for cancer research cancelled but says let keep contracts for his company Spacex to do research. Greedy billionaire trying to ripoff the American people pretending to be altruistic is all I see.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history.

I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward.

Here are my thoughts:

[Just saying @kangaroos991]

Well done Ireland! ⤵️

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Today is hard.
Today is dark.
Today is scary.
But the fight for a better tomorrow doesn’t end today.
Today I feel gutted.
Today, tomorrow, or for however long it takes, I will grieve.
I’ll allow myself to feel that.
Then I’m gonna get mad as hell.
And then I’m gonna get to work.

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

TOMORROW:

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Alicia Keys gave a phenomenal speech at a rally for VP Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania tonight!

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

Minnesota employers added 14,400 jobs in August, the largest monthly increase in over two years.

As a top state for business, we’re building a strong economy from the ground up right here in Minnesota 💪

Holy shit.

UAW just dropped this ad destroying Republicans and their corporate overlords.

It’s epic.

Please share far and wide! #UnionsForAll

not kidding at all when I say that the model that Doug Emhoff is setting for men to be powerfully, joyfully supportive of their spouses will have lasting cultural implications

.@PeteButtigieg: "If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man."

So proud to be your husband ❤️
