Anyone blaming Harris or Walz today has utterly lost the plot & missed the point.
This is fundamentally about America, toxic masculinity, & white supremacy.
Blaming Harris would be part of that problem, not the solution.
She deserves our thanks.
Thank you, @vp @KamalaHarris

What an idiot. Republicans over performed Dems in early voting for decades. Early voting programs were the crown jewels of RNC, NRSC, NRCC (you can have someone google those for you, Elon.)
Last cycle, idiot child Trump told Rs not to vote early. The Rs responded on cue.
Prior to 2020, there were many elections in which Republicans led early voting and lost. In Pa, it routinely happened given the collar county R political machines that no longer exist. In fact it happened in every presidential election between 1988 and 2016. Rs lead in Pa early voting and lost.
On one level, it’s amusing to see Elon Musk displaying a 7th grade understanding of American politics. But it’s dangerous.
He and Trump are laying the groundwork to claim fraud when Trump loses. It won’t work but could tear America a little further apart. Which is one of the goals they share with Russia.
Below are the R minus D early vote deltas in swing states before tomorrow.
Republican turnout on election day is usually much higher than Democrat, so any state currently leaning R in early voting is very likely to side with Trump.
Pennsylvania, while still leaning D, has a massive turnout on Election Day. If the same number vote in person for Trump this time vs last, he will win by ~500k votes (landslide).

When you're filmed engaging in contempt of court...
Rudy Giuliani shows up to Trump’s polling station in the Mercedes convertible he was ordered to surrender to Georgia poll workers for defaming them, acc to the driver.

This is the ad that triggered Trump operative Charlie Kirk. It would be a real shame if it went viral

America’s economy depends on the resilience of its #consumers, but as @economics_ma Chief Economist Mark Zandi emphasizes, our lower- and moderate-income households face increasingly steep challenges.

Trump weaving and not apologizing for his campaign insulting Puerto Ricans.
As usual, he never takes responsibility ever for harmful results.
Just a reminder how this approach led to chaotic results in his Presidency. We are not going back.

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, after distancing himself from Project 2025, Donald Trump announced he will appoint Tom Homan (Project 2025’s author) on day 1. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is Project 2025.

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."

Nothing else matters but this. Nothing else. No one voting for Trump can defend this. No one. He’s lying about our elections. Again. He’s attacking the very foundation of our democracy. Again. He’s inciting violence. Again. He is a traitor to this country.

A 2016 Trump ad excoriated Hillary Clinton for condemning some Trump supporters as deplorable.
Now Trump supporters scold Puerto Ricans for protesting worse insults.
Message: "We are thin-skinned and resentful. We expect you to turn the other cheek!"

I sort of remember editorial boards having no problem asking Biden to step aside.

YES it’s a double std. Thank you @jaketapper for noticing that Dictator on Day One Revenge Tour Trump gets a pass on everything and his supporters say he doesn’t mean what HE says he means. Not just graded on a curve. He flunks every day and gets a pass. – at McLean, VA

Beyond outrageous. But it tells you two things about Trump and his backers worth noting: (1) *they* know he’s an authoritarian (why else would they object to @ruthbenghiat speaking); and (2) if this can happen *now*, think of what would happen if he wins.
Naval Academy disinvites historian @ruthbenghiat from a history department lecture under pressure from the Heritage Foundation--founders of Project 2025.
Intended lecture was what happens to militaries under authoritarian rule through history

As I said a while back, the press corps and the rightwing media apparatus are Trump's assisted living program.
