@ZelenskyyUa President von der Leyen should be included in discussions with Zelenskyy, Putin, and Trump.

The US spends a small amount of its GDP on foreign aid compared to other major economies. Dismantling USAID won’t help Americans — it’s just cruel & reckless political theatrics.

One thing RFK is right about is that chronic diseases like obesity have gotten out of control in the US. We’ll see if he can make any progress on that traditionally Democrat issue within the Trump administration. @Morning_Joe

Fluoridating water reduces cavities by 25%, saving communities an average of $32 per person.

RFK’s plan to discourage water fluoridation would increase healthcare costs (a definite blow to govt cost-efficiency). @Morning_Joe

Over the last 50 years, 101 million infants around the world were saved by vaccines. Elevating anti-vaccine conspiracy theories would cost lives. @Morning_Joe

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Over the last century and a half, we’ve eliminated a handful of major diseases in the US through vaccination. Why would we want to reverse that progress? @Morning_Joe

“Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington Cemetery.”

This would be a good occasion for retired military, including some who saw Trump up close, to speak directly and forcefully as to why he should not be president again. https://t.co/zHZJjuM3kk

Trump’s latest visit to Arlington National Cemetery is a reminder of how little he understands about service, sacrifice, and heroism. https://t.co/cPk9s5EWqf

None of the teachers at my elementary school had children.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph taught me how to read & write and much more.

[Judy Woodruff @JudyWoodruff]

sad to see another legacy news organization disappear: WCBS 880 radio in NYC. Thanks to Tom Jones @Poynter for sharing anchor Wayne Cabot's final words: "With each closing newspaper, radio newsroom, TV newsroom, magazine, now even digital news operations, the country we love is diminished. So as we leave the news eco-system after 57 years of all news and 100 years of service on New York radio, we implore you to find that next trusted source. Use it. Support it. In word and in deed. It is the most patriotic thing you can do."

Where is the outrage, the demand for prosecution, that would follow an incident like this with any other candidate; especially the outrage from Republicans had a Dem done this?

[Mikie Sherrill @MikieSherrill]

Arlington National Cemetery isn't a place for campaign photo-ops. It's a sacred resting place for American patriots.

But for Donald Trump, disrespecting military veterans is just par for the course.

It's an absolute disgrace.

We're not going back.

I am not a fan of gender-based appeals. I’m pleased Kamala Harris has mostly avoided them.

But I am going to take the liberty of saying this:

Trump and Vance routinely and deeply disrespect, disdain, and defame women. How can women—and men who do respect women—support them?

[Nicholas Timko @ntimko1]

@BandyXLee1 Is it a mistake for Kamala Harris to do her CNN interview alongside Tim Walz? https://t.co/nyE89VqLeI

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

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

[Olena Halushka @OlenaHalushka]

russia had at least 28 torture chambers in the Kharkiv region in 2022, imprisoning even schoolchildren. I wish the "peace activists" would read this story. Decreasing aid for Ukraine and pushing for talks now means leaving people in genocidal occupation.

Republican Mayor of Mesa, AZ John Giles:

“I think the time has come for us as AZ Republicans to admit the obvious...which is that our party’s nominee is not qualified for office and that we need to vote for the adult in the room, and that is Kamala Harris.”

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

This is true…..

Class act. And, a very fine Governor.
