I’ve been a skeptic about this. But what happened today is the strongest possible case for DC statehood that I can imagine

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

As a traveler, I'm both a proud American and a citizen of the world — and I've got a few thoughts on this coming election. This election is deeper than partisanship. It's far more than Republican versus Democrat. In the future, big challenges like pandemics, refugees, and climate change will be blind to borders. They'll be everyone's problem and only solved by working together as a family of nations. The world needs not American isolation, but American leadership. Not the chaos of Trump, but the stability of @KamalaHarris. Of course, how you vote is your choice. But if you believe, as I do, in the importance of nations working together constructively, the stakes are really high...and the best candidate is clear. Register to vote today at vote.gov — and encourage your travelin’ friends to do the same!

Former Republican Gov. of New Jersey Christine Todd Whitman: "Republicans have always believed in the rule of law and the Constitution. That's what makes this country great. Donald Trump has no respect for either of those things” #RepublicansForHarris

Just a few decades ago, Christians made up an overwhelming majority of Democratic voters. Today, slightly more than half of Democrats (54%) are Christian, while 46% are not. pewrsr.ch/3ApTcqm

Walz: What a treasure you have in Josh Shapiro. He can bring the fire. Everybody in America knows, when you need a bridge fixed, call that guy. I know this from experience, there's no one you would rather go to a Springsteen concert in Jersey with than him

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

The FTC says it receives thousands of complaints annually from people who had trouble canceling subscriptions. Now, the agency is proposing a new “Click to Cancel” rule that would make it easier to cancel those pesky charges. n.pr/3FGqyRp
