RFK being in charge of all things medical is quickly becoming a MAJOR reason not to vote for Trump

I've been in the room with Trump many times. Vote for Harris.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Harrison Ford has released a speech, saying that he will vote for Kamala Harris for President.

“When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms, saying, ‘For God’s sake, don’t do this again,’ you have to pay attention”

Wow that the Access Hollywood tape is having a moment with fresh ears. I hadn't listened in full in a while myself.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

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

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Great news. You don’t have to vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump, because this completely normal woman who is talking about being president for all Americans is the actual 2024 nominee. Dems had the good sense to tell Biden to step aside. R’s nominated a guy who regularly calls America a garbage can.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Rogan tees up a softball to allow Trump just to agree with him and call dictators evil and dangerous. And Trump very deliberately does not agree, and instead calls Americans evil. Shocking. Trump is not a patriot. He admires Xi and Putin. That’s dangerous.

[Jill Lawrence @JillDLawrence]

Ignore the bedwetters. Amid Trump's tsunami of awfulness and under maximum pressure, @kamalaharris is running a superb campaign (and I've seen many up close over 35 years). I explain in my new piece at @BulwarkOnline https://t.co/PvXtFKBYw9

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

If you can't see that this is authoritarian you're so blind as to lack the capacity to defend liberty. The American people are not children. The president is not our angry daddy. POTUS serves at our pleasure, on our behalf, to lead a coequal branch of government.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Geraldo Rivera says he’s “disappointed” he did not jump “off the Trump train” sooner:

“I am so disappointed in my kind of blindness because when push came to shove, he was revealed by his own actions to be exactly the person that his critics were saying that he was”

Why does Trump sound like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini? Because he thinks it will work

Here’s me receiving an outpouring amount of affection during the “day of love”—January 6, 2021.

[Colin Allred @ColinAllredTX]

On January 6, I got ready to defend my colleagues and texted my wife: “Whatever happens, I love you.”

Ted Cruz was hiding in a supply closet. If you summon a mob to overturn a free and fair election, you should lose your job. This election is his accountability.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Let's be absolutely clear so that no one is confused.

Trump's rhetoric has become blatantly fascist.

All the warning lights for our democracy are flashing red.

We must take him seriously and defeat him soundly at the ballot box. https://t.co/zb8gXSIZ2t

[Carla ‘Bluechecked’ Marinucci @cmarinucci]

I was arrested & interrogated in Argentina during the 70's "Dirty War'' in which its president sought to rid the country of "the enemy within" with the help of his military. 30,000 Argentines disappeared. Americans should be terrified at such talk from a presidential candidate.
