@MandyMatney You're here to shine, to tell the truth. Not convince people who are determined to oppose. Ever notice who runs away from the light? 😉 Remember, re: those who unfollowed, "It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled."
NEW: Pennsylvania's Centre County officials say they are working with their ballot scanner vendor to figure out why the county's mail-in ballot data is "not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software"

@hrcastor Thank you, from the "inside". I've read "She-Wolves" so many times that its edges are worn. Reading "The Eagle and the Hart" now; history looks so familiar to today. Please believe me, many American "She-Wolves" feel the centuries bearing down on this edge-of-a-knife moment.
OMG!
MAGA Congressman Mike Collins from Georgia blew up a ballot drop box with a rifle in a political ad, claiming Dems use them to steal elections.
Get this EVERYWHERE so people know why ballot drop boxes are now being burned.
Follow and support his opponent, @LexyDohertyGA.
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
@hrcastor I've received my US copy and can't swim far enough to reach your events. Chance of a signed bookplate? I've been a fan for many years. Loving reading along on paper with the audiobook. "Read by the author" is a treat!
I'm begging reporters covering the declining birthrate to interview feminist scholars. Much of the coverage focuses on the tax policy, the election, & the rising cost of living generally. But there's very little focus on the lack of suitable partners & the threat of misogyny.
This woman isn't an illegal alien.
She isn't black.
She isn't a Democrat.
She's the Republican County Clerk of Mesa County, CO.
And she was just convicted of a 9-year prison sentence for hacking voting machines.
She did it to help Trump, driven by his big lie that the election was stolen.
She was caught using her power to subvert Democracy, steal from the taxpayers, and undermine the rule of law.
Remember: MAGA is a cabal of criminals.
Every accusation they make against the other side is a confession.
@YoYo_Ma Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Those moments of peace in this chaos-world show there is still something left worth saving in people. Even good change can be painful, but music shared for comfort is larger, it's Love.

@truecrimegisela@CourtTV@VinniePolitan Well done tonight, G! You're a natural speaker AND a genuine advocate. These are tragic stories and you help keep the sensationalized tone down while focusing on the victim. 🙏🏻 Thanks for all you do to shed light into the shadows. We must all do better to protect the vulnerable!
New story about the Haitians in Springfield, OH, where the cat hoax originated. CEO of McGregor Metal: “I wish I had 30 more. Our Haitians come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. That’s a stark difference from what we’re used to.”
@karenmitchell__ I wouldn't have grasped the magnitude of a N's ability to burrow into & feed on an innocent psyche if I hadn't been bitten by one. His adored public persona was built around false masks for 50+yrs. Wasn't 'til I realized he was incapable of love that I freed myself. They're evil.
Today, a Georgia Congresswoman, state legislators & faith leaders urged Gov. Brian Kemp to remove members of the Georgia State Election Board.
The unelected, Trump-aligned board members violated Georgia law & passed new election rules that conflict with state law.
