@PaulJacobsMedia @AbdulElSayed Thank you, Paul, for sharing your sentiments in this polarized time. I couldn’t with agree with you more. I am grateful that a humane public health doc who speaks to our shared humanity and stands for what matters most is Michigan’s pick for US Senate.

Has the U.S. economy, historically, been better under Republican presidents or Democratic presidents?

A Republican financial analyst decided to find out.

His name? Bart Starr, Jr. (Yes, the son of THAT Bart Starr.)

The answer may surprise you.🧵

BREAKING: Donald Trump suffers a major blow as a prominent conservative scholar rips into him for being a threat to democracy — and endorses Kamala Harris for president.

This is sending shockwaves through the Republican Party...

"In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law," wrote retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig in a statement.

"As a result, I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris," he added.

Luttig is a highly respected figure on the right who was appointed by George H.W. Bush. It will be the first time he has ever voted for a Democrat. If Trump is scaring off devoted conservatives like this, his campaign is really in dire straits.

"In voting for Vice President Harris, I assume that her public policy views are vastly different from my own but I am indifferent in this election as to her policy views on any issues other than America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law, as I believe all Americans should be," wrote Luttig.

He slammed Trump for waging a "war on America’s Democracy.”

"Because of the former president’s continued, knowingly false claims that he won the 2020 election, millions of Americans no longer have faith and confidence in our national elections, and many never will again," he explained.  "Many Americans – especially young Americans, tragically – have even begun to question whether constitutional democracy is the best form of self-government for America."

"The time for America’s choosing has come," he went on. "It is time for all Americans to stand and affirm whether they believe in American Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law, and want for America the same – or whether they do not."

Judge Luttig is absolutely right. This election is bigger than political parties, bigger than left and right. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and blatant fascist. If he wins, American democracy will not survive.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that it's immoral to vote for Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Your main mission is to tell every person you can about Project 2025.

[Lenore Goldman @lenore_goldman]

@SMSforMI51 We need your leadership in Michigan! Yes, working people - esp from the huge service industry - need a voice in Lansing. Let alone so much more you bring to the table.

As of this morning, there are no white men in Michigan's highest-ranking posts in state gov't.

Women hold 5 of the top 7: governor, attorney general, secretary of state, Senate majority leader & Supreme Court chief justice

Black men hold the other two: Lt. Gov & House Speaker

[Lenore Goldman @lenore_goldman]

You bring a long commitment to MI workers. Great campaign and glad you’ll be in a legislature that can win for all in need and long-neglected!

[Betsy Coffia @BetsyCoffia]

I’m in that crowd somewhere, 10 years ago today protesting as GOP rammed thru union-busting “right to work (for less)” in Lame Duck. I was proud to stand up for workers rights then as a Michigander. Proud to stand up now as a MI state rep. Time to #RepealRTW photo cred @cynstom

Last week, Brandon Roy of Milan, MI was sentenced for Malicious Use of a Telecommunications Device for this threatening, anti-Semitic call. For a year he is on a GPS tether, was required to relinquish his guns, will attend anger management and be tested for drugs and alcohol.

I give adoption papers to “Pro-Lifers” blocking Planned Parenthood.

When my former opponent and other Republicans casually and relentlessly refer to me and other members of the LGBTQ community as “groomers,” subsequent and predictable violent attacks against our community is not collateral damage. It’s the point.

[Sarah May-Seward @SMSforMI51]

Congratulations @KyraHBolden! Justice for Generations!

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

I realize mocking House Republicans rather than rebutting their crazy with facts will be very hard for House Democrats, but I'm here to tell them, that is EXACTLY what the research into gaslighting tells you to do. The ONLY thing to do.

New Senate Majority Leader @WinnieBrinks on becoming the first woman to hold the role in Michigan: "It's been hundreds of years that men have been in charge, and it's high time that women are having a seat at the table. And in Michigan, we have lots of seats at the table."

[Lenore Goldman @lenore_goldman]

@SMSforMI51 Several voters on the phones tonight talked of awesome Sarah May Seward, how proud of you they are and how excited to vote for you! You bring hope.

Oil companies have already posted $127 billion in profit this year versus $42 billion over the same period last year.

Folks, inflation isn’t being driven by workers asking for better wages or government spending. It’s being driven by corporate greed.
