The people calling Donald Trump a threat to American democracy (those of us who are paying attention) are NOT the people calling for violence.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Take a few minutes to visit https://t.co/V3uLF7XRqt and make sure you’re registered and have a plan to vote. Then check in with your friends and family and make sure they’re registered, too. Let’s get it done.

[Nevada Independent @TheNVIndy]

OPINION | Nevada’s ballots bad — but not because of Question 3

“Our ballots are too long and too complex. There is, however, a ... way to reduce the complexity ... We could simply reduce the number of races and ballot initiatives that reach our ballot.”

@SondraCosgrove Not a word. Very misleading.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

To improve democratic elections, @SenPeterWelch, @RepDonBeyer & I introduced a bill to enact ranked choice voting in elections for Congress, ensuring majority winners, empowering all voters, promoting coalition politics & reducing negative campaigning. https://t.co/KnfSt04xKX

@marwilliamson In this moment, we have a clear priority. To use your framing - we are either choosing to drive OFF the cliff with the former president or choosing to change direction with VP Harris - perhaps driving along the edge until we decide but having a chance to choose nonetheless.

[Jack Cocchiarella 🌹 @JDCocchiarella]

Hey ABC, it’s FORMER President Donald Trump.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I have the endorsement of 200 Republicans who formerly worked with President Bush, Mitt Romney, and John McCain.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job.

A billionaire does.

It’s fantasy football season. Had a great conversation w/friends who were ranking their players. It seemed super complicated to me but these folks know their positions and who they need in place to win. They made it look so easy!
Apparently ranking choices is common - who knew?

It’s time to overturn Citizens United.

This is what a corporate giveaway looks like.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

What did corporations do with the money saved?

They didn’t invest it or raise wages.

They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.

Nothing trickled down to workers.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Chipotle steak burrito a decade ago: $6.65
Now: $11
“It’s inflation - what can you do?”

Chipotle profit a decade ago: $327 million
Now: $1.23 billion
“It’s savvy business!”

Chipotle CEO decade ago: made 778x the median worker
Now: CEO makes 1,354x the median worker
“He earned it! They didn’t.”

@cenkuygur The DNC announced an open process. A number of Americans have chosen to endorse Kamala Harris as part of that process.
Other potential Democratic candidates can decide to challenge her, and she said her intention is to earn and win this nomination.
Take the W, @cenkuygur

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

HISTORIC: From leading the fight against hate crimes in San Francisco to serving as VP in the most pro-LGBTQ+ administration in history, Kamala Harris is a champion for LGBTQ+ equality.

We enthusiastically endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States.

All three LV Mayor's race candidates said ranked-choice voting is too confusing. If you order groceries online and pick one or more substitute items if your preferred items are unavailable, congratulations—you understand RCV.
