The cheating is in the same place his healthcare plan, proof that Obama wasn’t born in the US, and evidence the 2020 election was stolen is.

If you were as Godly as you pretend to be you wouldn’t have stolen welfare money.

It's unbelievable that this wasn't the end for him.

A thread addressed to my fellow conservatives who are planning to vote, or considering voting, for Trump. 1/13

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not).

I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

This is an excerpt from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. When I produced it back in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us.

Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high…and this is very real.

Tim Miller: "[Trump] is going to be older than Biden. We're going to have this elderly man with only crazy people around him in charge at age 82. Who would take this risk?"

You were warned

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

His ex-wife committed suicide after she found his diary where he wrote in very graphic detail about 37 different affairs. He also rated his sexual encounters with a numerical scale in the journal. He’s not a doctor or scientist. Sure, he should be in charge of women’s health.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

I’m honestly happy for Donald Trump that in the final days of the campaign, he’s back to doing what he loves: running against Joe Biden.

Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake campaigning for VP Harris in Arizona

“I am supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, not in spite of being a conservative Republican, but because I am a conservative Republican"

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Nothing else matters but this. Nothing else. No one voting for Trump can defend this. No one. He’s lying about our elections. Again. He’s attacking the very foundation of our democracy. Again. He’s inciting violence. Again. He is a traitor to this country.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

America, let us turn the page and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged.

He is seeking unchecked power in his second term, he has promised retribution and jail time for his political opponents, and he has violated his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator Mitch McConnell, admitted it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

This guy spent decades stiffing workers pay, cut overtime benefits for millions of people, and opposed any effort to raise the minimum wage.

You know who has actually worked at McDonald's, joined workers on picket lines, and fights for working people? @KamalaHarris.

@AccountableGOP This would be funny if it was a comical act- oh wait…

@realDonaldTrump You are hilarious and predictable.
