If 1.1% of voters (175,000) across the 3 blue wall states had chosen Harris over Trump, she would be President. I get that Trump won but this isn’t a “blowout” or a “landslide” and it’s certainly not a mandate. 1.1% across 3 states is all it was.

If he loses, Trump will say it was because "illegal immigrants" were voting. His campaign, his party and its pundits are preparing that narrative now theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Virginia voters: if you've been wrongly purged from the rolls you can re-register at the polls under same-day registration & still cast a ballot

New ad from the Harris campaign on reproductive freedom, ahead of the VP's speech in Texas on Friday. This is a very tough one to watch, but it's incredibly important to. Thank you so much to Ondrea and Ceasar for trusting us to share their story.

Climate change is no longer a future threat; it is a present reality. Honored to speak about ‘Climate Change as a National Security Challenge’ at George Washington University’s @ElliottSchoolGW. Check out my remarks here: state.gov/climate-change-as-… @GWtweets

Call me crazy, but if the barrier island is under a mandatory evacuation order, I'm not sure I would be playing on the beach at this point. Snap taken from live cam at 2:39 EDT. #ClearwaterBeach #HurricaneHelene

In Trump’s speech, he promised to deport pro-Palestinian protesters, hinted he could have prosecuted HRC, suggested he wouldn’t protect some NATO countries, promised to give police immunity… That’s just TONIGHT. My thread could be OUR REALITY if we don’t win in Nov. H/t @atrupar

My best buddy has developed a mass on his shoulder. I’m starting a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of treatments. So far, the vet is thinking it’s not cancerous, but now into week 4, who knows. gofund.me/7bc8a930 #GoFundMe

Many don't understand how much scientists like to argue with each other--which makes the scientific consensus around climate change so compelling. But we still do argue, and here's a good example. I'm with most of the commentators in this article, myself. carbonbrief.org/scientists-c…

As an American economist, I feel in part it's my own failing (and our collective failing) that so many our my fellow Americans don't yet understand how important and successful this President's economic policies have been.
Experts said that to get inflation under control we needed to drive up unemployment. We found a better way. Under my plan, unemployment has been under 4% for two full years now, and inflation has been at the pre-pandemic level of 2% over the last half year.

By the time Trump spoke at the Ellipse on January 6, right-wing media had been promising a showdown in DC for *weeks.* For my book NETWORK OF LIES, I rewatched Fox's coverage. Here are a few key observations...
