@LouRaguse @kare11 Fascinating. Thanks so much for answering and elaborating! I will look forward to following this appeal.

Arizona is building the first solar canal in the U.S. . Solar-covered canals will generate renewable energy and save water in this notoriously dry area: https://t.co/h7VQMpo9iP

We have so many solutions to this crisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

My view this morning; hazy but bright.

When I ran for President I discovered we are not as divided as the political angertainment industry would have us believe.

So turn off the tv, put down the phone, go on a walk, and say hello to some neighbors. 🇺🇸

@towle @samkrollman @rickdabrewer @NSPNminnesota @Eagan_Athletics @EaganBoysFutbol No way you can prove that! It could have just as easily been the wind that pushed the ball into the goal. Or a sudden, split-second earthquake. Or the ghost of Kirk Cousins.

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

States voting to establish ranked choice voting for major statewide elections this November: Colorado, Idaho Nevada & Oregon, along w/ Washington DC. Alaska will vote to defend it & Arizona & Montana will vote on measures that could lead to it. Big year for voter-friendly reform!

@herculezg @stuholden Yeah, if you just assess on goalkeeping prowess/ performance- Hope easily takes it. Which is saying a lot, because Naeher is fantastic.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Republican Mayor of Mesa, John Giles, just announced his support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. This is catastrophic for Trump as Mesa is the 3rd largest city in Arizona. Retweet so all Americans hear Giles’ critical message.

Kamala Harris just picked a good man as her VP running mate. If you don’t know much about him, this conversation is a good introduction- https://t.co/Fv3iawK9jv

[Eric Geller @ericgeller]

if anyone were going to just walk out into a live shot like this and pick up their newspaper as if it were a normal day, it would be Walz

the nytimes has solved this problem with the craziest “choose your weighted average” visualization ever printed in a newspaper

[Dean Phillips @deanbphillips]

Conduct a straw poll among Dem delegates of potential candidates.

Invite @KamalaHarris and the top three other vote getters to a series of four, televised town halls w/audiences of delegates before voting at the convention.

Transparent, competitive, & as Jim Clyburn argued - a great audition for VP.

[NewTone @NewToneProducer]

Thank you, @deanbphillips, for your courage to try and catalyze a change on the Democratic Party ticket.

People likely won't give you the credit you deserve, but your efforts were worthwhile and the main objective of your campaign was achieved.

This stadium in the Netherlands has 4,200 #solarpanels on its roof and is 100% #solar powered. Shouldn't all buildings be this way?

@joeleyba Agree it’s tempting to think that, but by the end his form had fallen off. I remember being increasingly frustrated near the end by his lack of speed. All to say, Heath couldn’t find a good way to use his considerable talent in possession & in box. So happy for him now though!
