New: Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She'd told her husband that the medical team said it couldn't act until the fetal heartbeat stopped. https://t.co/8qxo6obNP4

Republicans are killing women with their draconian policies.

You can vote to stop this next week.

Rick Steves: There was a handful of people who opposed Hitler, refused to do the proper salute, to kiss his ring; these are the Kinzingers, the Liz Cheneys, and the Mitt Romneys…of the German democracy in 1932…

oh yeah? well if they’re such a “fascist” how come they’re offering me everything I want while promising to keep me safe from the terrifying outsiders who are trying to take my freedoms from me?

I'm saddened by the precipitous decline of the Washington Post. Thankfully there's great journalism still available from other sources, but the DC Metro area deserves to have a reputable hometown paper. Perhaps another outfit will fill the gap the Post has voluntarily vacated?

Donald Trump violated his oath to uphold the Constitution when he incited an attack on our democracy January 6. He is unfit to be President of the United States.

I have never wavered in my sworn oath to uphold the Constitution, and I will always stand for rule of law.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, JD Vance refused to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Tim Walz is holding him accountable for that failure. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Tim Walz: America, I think you've got a really clear choice on this election of who's going to honor democracy and who's going to honor Donald Trump.

BREAKING: Taylor Swift ENDORSES VP Kamala Harris

FULL STATEMENT:

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,

Taylor Swift
