Trump’s own former FDA Director says he has “deep concerns about Kennedy’s stated intentions to roll back core health protections, particularly as it relates to childhood vaccines *** [W]e’re at a tipping point, we're going to start to see epidemics of diseases that have long been vanquished. And God forbid we see polio reemerge in this country. This cld happen in the next 4 years, especially with MMR. The measles vaccination rates have dipped to a point where we are at a tipping point right now. Another 5% down and we’ll be there." 1/ #RFKJr

I want Trump to lose for obvious existential reasons but mostly to see him turn on Elon Musk in 72 hours following the election

Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.

Rachel #Maddow calls Elon Musk a national security disaster and says, "The U.S. Government is going to have to either unwind from all of those contracts or Elon Musk's companies are going to have to unwind from him."

Re: my comments on CNN and MSNBC this evening... yes, there are Trump staffers who no longer much care whether he wins or loses. Not exactly breaking news. Hard to overstate how terrible morale is inside of this campaign—and how much anger/resentment is felt toward the candidate.

It seems that his followers can feel it, too and are no longer showing up... xitter.cf/DavidCornDC/status/185…
This is what a half-empty Trump rally looks like in Reading, Penn., a day before Election Day.

An extra hour of sleep can’t make up for how tired I am of having to roll back the clocks for the darkest days in the coldest months.

Let's make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

The race is shifting rapidly. It’s been moving in the past five days but holy hell is it moving. Internal polls with the Democratic Party went from classified status to flyers on cars in the Walmart parking lot. This is…something.

I believe we have a real chance of winning Florida, based on the latest polling. Also, the two referendums on the ballot (abortion rights and marijuana legalization) should help increase turnout.

Mark Cuban explains how Trump started the high inflation: In April 2020, in the early days of Covid, the gas prices were $1.87. Oil companies went to Trump and said: we're getting crushed. You have to talk to your friends MBS and Putin and ask them to reduce production. And he did. That was the day inflation started

Which of these issues affects Americans’ lives more? The ACA and vaccines or an unclear statement by Biden that he quickly clarified? We all know the answer to that question. So why would the press prioritize the latter over the former?

It would be helpful if every sexual predator dressed like this. Much easier to spot them in a crowd.

BREAKING Former Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Vice President Harris: “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… 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… 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."
