I warned about Trump from the beginning because I know from experience what autocrats look & sound like. I also know from experience what Communists sound like, and Harris, for all my concerns about American far left, is no Communist.

I love this country with all my heart.
And I believe in its promise—because I’ve lived it.
I grew up as a child of the Civil Rights Movement. My parents would take me to marches when I was a toddler, where crowds of people of all races, faiths, and walks of life came together for freedom and opportunity.
I’ve lived the promise of America.
I saw how hard my mother worked to give her daughters the same chances this country gave her. I was blessed to have family by blood and family by love who instilled in me the values of community, compassion, and faith that have always defined our nation at our best.
I’ve lived the promise of America.
I’ve spent my life fighting for people who have been overlooked, but who still believe that in this country, we should all be equal in the eyes of the law.
I’ve lived the promise of America—and I see the promise of America in all of you.
In the young people voting for the first time, who are determined to live free from gun violence, protect our planet, and shape the world they inherit. In the women who refuse to accept a future without reproductive freedom and the men who support them. In Republicans who have never voted for a Democrat before but put the Constitution of the United States over party.
In Americans, different in many respects, but united by love of freedom, a belief in fairness and decency, and faith in a better future.
That is why I’m in this race, America.
I'm begging people...don't say "what took you so long" or some other iteration to people who are declaring they're walking away from Trump for whatever reason and whatever time they choose. Just stop. We have to bring this country together again and crapping on people that wake up to the madness is not how you do it.

There's currently a viral trolling campaign on X in which some users pretend to have illegally voted for Donald Trump as foreign citizens due the absence of voter ID laws in some states.
Mike Johnson says one of Trump’s top priorities will be to repeal the Affordable Care Act and rip away health care from tens of millions of Americans: “No Obamacare”
A great deal of center-left/Dem disgust/impatience with elite political journalism, which is being vented on the Post in reaction to the Bezos issue but is much broader, is about journalists who in various ways see their job, often giddily, as score keeping how effective Republican lies are rather than trying to clarify whether they're true.
I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.”
I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people.
So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.
