Vote for Cures

10,000 diseases, only 500 cures. Funding cures that save lives is not a partisan issue. Insist that your Members of Congress #VoteforCures

Again and again, throughout American history, women have saved this country.

Pretty awesome that the Harris campaign is holding coordinated concerts tomorrow in every single swing state, featuring Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ricky Martin, Jon Bon Jovi, Andra Day, Christina Aguilera, Los Tigres Del Norte, SOFI TUKKER, Sugarland, and James Taylor.

Here's a story from canvassing today in Western North Carolina that is worth reading:

I went to a house somewhat off the beaten path. A woman around 40-years-old answered the door. I introduced myself, told her I lived about 25 minutes away, and told her I was out volunteering on behalf of Kamala Harris for president.

She told me that Kamala had her vote, but she's not sure about her husband, who is a lifelong Republican.

I asked if anything I might say to her husband could change his mind. She said she wasn't sure, probably not, and that he "comes from a family of hardcore Trumpers."

Right as I was saying "you never know," her husband comes outside.

He's the same age as her (and me).

Big old unkept beard. Tattoos up and down. Wearing a "protect the 2A" shirt that had some sort of big ass gun on it, and old baggy blue jeans.

He said, "What's all this about?"

I introduced myself to him. I told him I heard from his wife that he may be supporting Donald Trump and that's totally okay, but I'm curious why.

He told me he wasn't really sure, it's what his family has always done.

He asked me why I'm supporting Kamala Harris.

I told him about my views on taxation, abortion, and health care, and then also just the importance of having someone who wants to unite America and who is not a character-depraved asshole, which I think Donald Trump is.

He asked me why I think that of Trump. I told him about the racist remarks from the MSG rally, the pussy grabbing stuff, January 06, the signed bibles, and so on.

He looked me in the eye and said "You know what, you're right. I can't vote for that guy. He's a fucking piece of shit."

(This is verbatim, his words not mine.)

I thanked him for giving me the time of day. I wasn't going to press him any further.

As I was walking away, he said, "Hey."

I turned around and he put out his hand. As we shook hands, he looked me in the eye and said "I am going to vote for Kamala Harris."

His wife was almost tears. He seemed to be too. Truly. Like this big fucking weight was off this man's chest.

Needless to say, it was the highlight of my week.
It shows that people are decent. Yes, many people are low-information. But many are decent. And many people want what is best for America.

It's also a reason to keep knocking doors. There are more people like him out there 🇺🇸

HOLY SH*T, this is a POWERFUL closing argument.

🚨Make sure EVERYONE sees this.

Elon Musk is spending millions on Trump as a form of venture capital- the return on his investment will run in the billions in contracts with the federal government

Fluoride in the drinking water has been deemed one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century.

Now RFK Jr is saying Trump will push to end it.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

from DM Register story on the poll:

"The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or who are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris. 

“Age and gender are the two most dynamic factors that are explaining these numbers,” Selzer said.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said a video purporting to show Haitians claiming that they illegally voted for Kamala Harris is fake and likely the work of a Russian troll farm. https://t.co/iUcPYFcIxQ

Women you've got this. End this madness. All our lives depend on it.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Democrats are significantly more enthusiastic than Republicans about voting in this election — enthusiasm is even slightly higher than when Obama won in 2008.

One time for Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Health Care plan.

I never made it out of the House.

[Michael Grunwald @MikeGrunwald]

Wow what a devastating gaffe, how will this major-party presidential nominee possibly explain away such a flagrantly obvious lie, oh right I forgot it’s 2024 and it’s Trump so it’s not really news.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Listen to this twit make Donald Trump’s closing argument. Women, you know what to do. #VoteKamala

[Lincoln Square @LincolnSquareHQ]

Sore Loser: Trump knows that the Puerto Rico joke is going help swing enough voters towards Kamala Harris to win the state, and since his narcissism renders him unable to apologize, he is going to resort to the same criminal antics he tried in 2020.

Today I'm honored to announce my support for the reelection of Sherrod Brown to the United States Senate. Senator Brown has an extraordinary record of service to all the people of the Buckeye State.
Today he's visiting with the robust Puerto Rican community in Lorain Ohio, where thousands migrated in the 1940's to work the steel mills. He's for choice, tolerance and President Kamala Harris. Brown's for Ohio, and I'm for him. Vote Brown for U.S. Senate.
