You guys he doesn’t know where he is. Objectively. I know I’m a partisan, and I want him to finish poorly, so by all means investigate this yourself.

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

I miss the Grand Old Party (GOP) and long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. (We idealistic hippies sometimes need to be reined in by practical conservatism.) But this election is different… and much deeper than D versus R and left versus right. It’s a clear choice, and the survival of our democracy is on the line.

The world needs not the chaos of Trump but the stability of Kamala Harris. The world needs America.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this 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.

Huge. Olivia Rodrigo — massively popular among young people & first-time voters — just posted an endorsement of Kamala Harris centered around reproductive freedom to her nearly 40 MILLION Instagram followers. Amazing.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

.@KingJames: I have a daughter, a wife, and a mother. What Kamala Harris believes when it comes to women’s rights and the future, I feel that endorsing her is only right

Women are going to protect the country from Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not.

Shout out to the hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the country. Feel free to say what you did below. But today very well might be the biggest day of door knocking ever. In any case good vibes below please!

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

He’s a mess and just imagine him in 3 years.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Wouldn't it be great to not have to think about this man ever again?

Five more days. https://t.co/tTgeqxNqYm

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: The Economist just announced they are endorsing Kamala Harris. This is huge.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Is there some context that a bunch of very smart online people are going to provide to me to explain how this isn’t an insane thing to do with 100 hours left? Because this dude seems run down, angry and 🍌 🍌 🍌 .

[Acyn @Acyn]

Jennifer Lopez: I am Puerto Rican and yes I was born here, and we are Americans. I am a mother. I am a sister. I am an actress and I like Hollywood endings and I like it when the good guy, or in this case the good girl wins. And with an understanding of our past, and our faith in our future, I will be casting my ballot for Kamala Harris for president of the United States.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

It’s bait.

Donald Trump is about tax cuts for the rich and eliminating abortion access. Crime went up and jobs went down on his watch.

Kamala Harris is actually focused on expanding rights and freedoms and helping working families & the middle class.

Tune out the noise.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

New CNBC Generation Lab survey finds that young voters are breaking towards Harris in the final two weeks:

🔵 Harris 60%
🔴 Trump 40%

This is the same margin as Biden won among young voters in the 2020 election.

Their July poll was 46-34%(!) Harris.

Donald Trump is not good enough at politics to respond like this. He is cancelling stuff because he’s angry at everyone and tired. And a few days ago he just swayed to music onstage for 38 minutes. So, our candidate is doing her part. Let’s do ours - let’s go win this thing.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Donald Trump just called January 6th a “day of love” - the day his supporters assaulted police officers, causing injuries and deaths.

America can do so much better. Democrats and Republicans can join to elect Kamala Harris and put the chaos and darkness of Trumpism behind us.

Spooky season isn’t complete without a pineapple jack-o-lantern.🍍🎃

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

I have been briefed on Hurricane Milton’s expected impact and our Administration’s work to support Florida ahead of the storm’s landfall. Today, @POTUS approved an emergency declaration for the state to provide federal support for lifesaving and emergency protective measures.

[Michael Rosenberg @MJRosenbergDad]

Harris boosting turnout among apolitical young women (Call Her Daddy), supercharging suburban women (The View), and showing some personality for edgy middle-aged men (Howard Stern) is a brilliant start to her endgame strategy.
