The nation will miss President Jimmy Carter dearly, and it’s up to each of us to carry on his legacy.

Just for the record, this isn't 'Trump's America' any more than it was 'Biden's America' or 'Obama's America' or 'Bush's America'. It's America. And Donald Trump will happen, as Lincoln said to the 166th Ohio regiment 160 years ago, "temporarily to occupy this big White House."

Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies

Bluebirds
Singing a song

Musk didn't invent Tesla,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent SpaceX,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent Starlink,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent Twitter,... he bought it.

Musk didn't invent Trump,... he bought him.

@donwinslow @SilverARTicfox Someone should have told Merrick Garland about Neville Chamberlain.

IF ONLY WE HAD THE DATA ON VACCINE EFFICACY

Measles, diphtheria, mumps, rubella, smallpox, and polio have all been dramatically reduced or eliminated thanks to vaccines. Millions of children’s lives have been saved.

Anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary will spike the numbers, and blood will be on the Senate’s hands. Call and let them know how you feel.

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

@DavidCornDC Since the covid vaccine rollout in 2021, more Republicans have died of the disease than Democrats.* Trump/RFK Jr. are out to make death bipartisan.

Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has returned to Congress with a laser-like focus on the issue Coloradans sent her there to solve: underwater space aliens. #copolitics

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

@nhannahjones All dictators fail. It's just a matter of how many lives they take with them. Apparently, there wasn't enough the first time around for people to understand how they'll be taken down along with those whom they despise.

Across the country this week, voters sided with fascism, criminality and schoolyard cruelty.

But the picture is different in Colorado, which in the election Tuesday showed unusual resistance to America’s drift toward authoritarianism.

Respectfully, it shouldn’t “shock” every American. It should ANGER every American. Its should infuriate every American.

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

They think they can buy America.

Setup lavish lifestyles for the judiciary.

Acquire political allegiance through their PACs.

Gobble up the 4th Estate.

Dangle million dollar lotteries for your vote.

What they cannot buy is your integrity.

They cannot buy your determination to preserve the American dream. For you and your loved ones.

They cannot stifle your compassion for the vulnerable amongst us.

They cannot silence your demands for justice and accountability.

This election is about whether America belongs to its people, or to unscrupulous billionaires and the politicians who do their bidding.

@Out5p0ken Apologists will say that's not what he meant. But if Biden said this, front page news for days.

[Charles P. Pierce @CharlesPPierce]

"Of strange, discordant, and even, hostile elements, we gathered from the four winds, and formed and fought the battle through...Did we brave all then, to falter now?—now—when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered and belligerent?" -- Abraham Lincoln, 1858.

No finish line.

@JoJoFromJerz Trump is revealing his 5th Ave moment. He fears he is going to lose the election, but he believes he can grab power through unchecked violence and chaos.
