Please let this be true today:

“There was always just enough virtue in this Republic to save it; sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the emergency.” —William Seward, Secretary of State during the civil war.

If Musk knew more about American politics, and didn't have such a conspiratorial mindset, he would stop finding incredibly stupid conspiracy theories plausible.

The reason "Harris" brings up vote locations is because people vote in Harris County, TX. There is no Trump County.

Texas, Missouri judges deny requests to block DOJ from sending poll monitors.

The Missouri official trying to stop DoJ is the son of former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, who served in the Bush administration from 2001-2005 as DoJ monitors carried out their duties without incident. Republican politics has changed a lot in 20 years.

In a sign of how distrust of the federal government has permeated Republican politics in the Trump era, GOP officials in three red states have tried to block the Justice Department from engaging in its decades-long practice of sending observers into polling places.

Immigration-restrictionism is inherently illiberal—and the new reality of our politics, in which each side accepts it as a political necessity, should deeply offend anyone who claims to be liberal.

This fictional "quote" is 100% fabricated.

It's one more lie in the stream of right-wing lies designed to undermine our election. Despite this actionable libel and all the disinformation, America is having a free and fair election and Congress will certify the winner.

Elon Musk should absolutely NOT face any retaliation for supporting Donald Trump. He should face the same scrutiny anyone else would for arguably violating election laws, and the same scrutiny any other defense contractor would for chatting secretly with Putin.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

One lie, told the same way by Trump, Musk, and Putin. https://t.co/kn64m0EXZV

Via @librarycongress: Something to ponder as you head out to vote today. In the Library’s Rosa Parks Papers collection, there’s a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes were not abolished until 1964.

Trump can insist the 2020 election was stolen and that the rioters who beat up cops on Jan. 6 were patriotic, and if your animus toward the “establishment” is strong enough, it can lead you to accept these claims—and Rogan will try to help you do so.

The man who posted the fake Russian video claiming Haitian illegals are voting in Georgia, AlphaFox78, was paid by the Russians. Look forward to those that shared the disinformation apologizing for helping our enemies.

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

Whether it’s Kamala Harris calling the United States the greatest country in the world Donald Trump calling it a giant trashcan, both candidates have expressed provocative opinions about this country of ours.

[Ken Dilanian @KDilanianMSNOW]

New: The FBI is warning about a fabricated video purporting to be an alert issued by the FBI urging Americans to “vote remotely” due to a high terror threat at polling stations. The FBI is also flagging a video containing a fake FBI press release alleging that the management of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona rigged inmate voting and colluded with a political party. Disinformation is everywhere.

Rogan is a MAGA-pilled conspiracist, not an everday, aww-shucks yokel discussing politics. Read @UnPopulistMag's great account of his insidious modus operandi. https://t.co/ic3z6GlpWn

I predicted he would become Alex Jones 2.0 after he got fired from Fox News.

He’ll start selling supplements any day now. He might be doing it already. 🤦🏼‍♀️
