BREAKING: CNN just interviewed a former linebacker on Coach Walz’ high school football team, and he made it clear, he would not have finished high school without Coach Walz. Retweet so all Americans see this remarkably powerful

[Lesley Phillips @lesley_phillips]

@KamalaHQ Ugh. It always comes back to him, doesn't it? I predict the voters are even more sick of him and his -all-about-meness than in 2020 -- making for a landslide victory for Harris/Walz in 20254. Just. go. away. Trump.

[Lesley Phillips @lesley_phillips]

It all circles back to him, doesn't it? I predict the voters are more tired of him now than in 2020 - when he lost THAT election. Vote Harris/Walz!

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Q: You just said that there was a peaceful transfer of power after 2020. You didn’t concede, there was a violent insurrection at the Capitol…

Trump: What’s your question?

Q: My question is, you really think there was a peaceful transfer of power?

Trump: The people of January 6 were treated very unfairly. They were there to complain about an election. And it was the biggest crowd I've ever spoken to

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.

@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win.

[Lesley Phillips @lesley_phillips]

Yes. 🙏🏻

Watching Luke Combs sing beside Tracy Chapman with such obvious reverence makes the difference between appropriation and appreciation crystal clear.

When someone engages source material in a spirit of love, it shows.

Good one, Donald.

Ms. Carroll began her fight to hold the beast who molested her accountable when he occupied the WH. Now 80 yo, she will not be bullied into giving up her fight for justice. May the goddesses protect her.

Appreciation post for E. Jean Carroll🙏💙:

The political landscape is littered with the cowardly carcasses of people who refused to cross trump.

One example: a candidate who is competing against him for the GOP presidential nomination had the chance to slap him hard over Ms. Carroll's case.

Instead, she feigned ignorance, pretending to be the one person in the United States of America who didn't know about the case, saying "I'm not a lawyer." She's not a President either; that kind of cowardice deserves the dustbin of history.

But E. Jean Carroll is anything BUT cowardly. While grown men and women avoid saying a mean word about him, for fear of his vindictiveness, she put it on the line and faced him IN COURT.

Victims of sexual assault seldom come forward against their attackers -- there is a stigma that comes with it, where the victim is blamed and shamed.

She opened her case against him while he was still in office, which took even more guts, as it was clear he was not shy about weaponizing government against his enemies.

I can't begin to imagine how she feels right now, knowing that millions of his hateful, ignorant followers are fantasizing acts of evil against her.

The $10 million she's suing him for, in my opinion, is inadequate for how he assaulted her, defamed her, and continues to harass her, even now.

Kudos to you, Ms. Carroll, for doing what so few people have had the courage to do: to stand up to that motherf*cker and hold him accountable.

On this day one year ago, 19 precious children and two beloved educators were killed in a horrific act of mass gun violence carried out by a gunman armed with an AR-style rifle at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Seventeen other people were wounded.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

A school book ban is any action taken against a book that leaves access to a book restricted or diminished. This decision of moving my book from its original place, taken after one parent complained, diminishes the access elementary schoolers would have previously had to my poem. Glad @FLFreedomRead and I could help clarify that for @MDCPS to ensure accurate information.

[Karine Jean-Pierre Archived @PressSec46]

Yesterday in Michigan, @GovWhitmer signed an extreme risk protection order measure into law, joining @GovTimWalz who signed similar legislation in Minnesota last week, and @GovWesMoore who signed safe storage and other provisions into law in Maryland.

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

When schools aren't safe and lawmakers fail to act, we support our children and young leaders in walking out of school to demand action on gun violence. #FedUp
