If I can see it coming. If Trump loses, the election commentariat is going to blame Trump's mistakes in the last week. You know who won't get credit they deserve? Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, and tens of millions of women who will be responsible for defeating Trump.

Ladies, today as you head into the voting booth, remember your vote is no one else's business.

Tonight, as I reflect on the last 9 yrs, my heart is full. Thinking of the millions of my fellow citizens who have come together from across the political spectrum to protect our democracy and our country is a beautiful thing.
This moment asked a lot. We have done all we could.

Historians: He’s a fascist.
Political scientists: He’s a fascist.
His own aides: He’s a fascist.
The Washington Post: We don't take sides.

🚨Maj Gen (Ret) Paul Eaton is NOT holding back. He directly calls on Generals Jim Mattis and Mark Milley to stop whispering to Bob Woodward and speak out publicly.
Our nation is on the line, and it's time to tell the truth—Trump is a domestic enemy and a fascist to the core.

“We just don’t know enough about the specifics of Kamala’s policies” is endlessly irritating to me. At this point your choice is eating a sandwich or plate of broken glass. You’re telling me you need to know more about the sandwich? #CNN

Musk's X post questioning why Biden and Harris have not had assassination attempts is not defensible. Nor have we seen an apololgy. These semi-denied suggestions that can be interpreted that violence be undertaken need to be condemned universally, as is partially being done, but not by Trump, MAGA or GOP leaders.
Further Musk needs to be questioned by the secret service and @fbi and his contracts and media rights reviewed.
And he needs to wake up and grow up.

For only the second time in our 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is @KamalaHarris. | Editorial bit.ly/4daH36q

I don't know if there was a attempted shooting of Mr. Trump or not today in Palm Beach. In either case all of us should denounce it. (Unlikely he would if anyone else was threatened or shot.)
Related, its an understatement to say Trump is the superspreader of the epidemic of political violence today. Epidemics go in all directions.
Most recent example, Donald Trump incited bomb threats and terror in Springfield, Ohio by him spreading hateful lies vs. Immigrants again.

Crimea is Ukraine.
Crimea shows the future Putin seeks for all of Ukraine. It is not an isolated case — it is a blueprint.
At the Crimea Platform, I reiterated U.S. support for Ukraine's fight against Russia’s aggression.

Opinion: I can’t sit quietly as Donald Trump — perhaps the biggest threat to the rule of law in a generation — eyes reelection. That's why I support Kamala Harris for president, writes former Republican AG @argonzales.
