The Founding Fathers of this country created the longest standing democracy on earth and millions of Americans fought and died to preserve it.

Trump is betraying their vision and moving us to authoritarianism.

Stand tall. Defend democracy. We will win.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Ever spotted moving lights in the night sky? The FAA requires all aircraft flying at night, including drones, to have certain lights. Here's what you need to know! https://t.co/5nyaIVwWUH

Trump just called Nancy Pelosi Nikki Haley 4 times in a row. Once is a slip of the tongue. 4 times is dementia.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

A Trump supporter watching Trump confuse world leaders, forget major historical events, stumble over basic stats, and rant maniacally as he waves his syphilitic hands around: “Joe Biden is not mentally fit to be President.”

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

PSA: After decades of selfless public service, Joe Manchin has decided to sail off into the sunset in his multiple yachts.

He will be fondly remembered for his heroic opposition to climate change, build back better, voting rights and filibuster reform…and of course, for supporting Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

He was the best of the Republicans in the Democratic Party.

They were lucky to have him.

Fare thee well, Joe.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. Please read it:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump.

When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.”

Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.”

He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.

We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:

This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.

We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.

Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.

Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity.

Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency.

Let’s welcome them back.

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system.

In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%.

Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Let’s play the let’s be stupid game with Justice Alito:

No provision in the Constitution gives Congress the authority to provide and maintain an Air Force—period.

No provision in the Constitution gives Congress the authority to provide and maintain a Space Force—period.

Oh, and no provision in the Constitution gives the Supreme Court the power of judicial review—period.

@PeterSasaki @united @UnitedPilots @ALPAPilots Thank you for your support! The pilots of United are proud to get you to your destination safely and efficiently - hopefully with the support of travelers like you, our management will agree to the contract we deserve!

[Peter Sasaki @PeterSasaki]

50+ years and millions of miles, my loyalty is to the people of @united, as much as the brand/product. Time for a fair contract! Honored to put this on my bag! Thank you @UnitedPilots! @ALPAPilots. #unitedpilots #avgeek #pilot #globalservices #frequentflyer #businesstravel #aviation

[Capt. Jason Ambrosi @ALPAPresident]

Today @UnitedPilots across the U.S. joined together in one voice to tell @United management that it’s past time that the pilots’ contributions are recognized. We are unified and will not back down until the company puts #ContractFirst and #UnitedNext.

[Common Dreams @commondreams]

On the heels of strike-authorization votes by American and Southwest pilots, @UnitedPilots protested at airports across the U.S. on Friday to tell management that "enough is enough." https://t.co/pfAGY27aQg

Enough is enough, Mr. Kirby

Visitors at the Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia were treated to a special performance today by 17 bass saxophonists and 2 contrabass saxophonists. The group, lead by a Mummer, is trying to break a Guinness World Record for most bass saxophones performing in one place.

Hey, @60Minutes -- I fixed it for you.
