“One overlooked figure in all of this is Usha Vance…the daughter of immigrants who stood on that RNC stage to signs that read ‘mass deportations’, who has her own children — but has not spoken out about her husband’s rhetoric leading to terrorism in their own Ohio community.”

U.S. wages are rising faster than inflation. Unemployment is near record lows. America leads the world in producing energy. The stock market has hit record highs. No wonder Trump and Vance are stoking fears by lying about immigrants eating pets.

Hey Mike DeWine. You’ve served honorably in public office for many years, and you’re in your final term. Do the right thing. Withdraw your support for Trump and Vance, given their disgraceful demagoguery aimed at residents of your state and endangering civic peace in your state.

This KKK flier touts Trump’s top campaign promise, the same phrase thousands hold up on signs at Trump rallies. Trump and Vance have unleashed evil. As a nation we must come together to reject it and rise above.

Governor DeWine, Trump and JD Vance are going to tear your state apart. If you do not stop them, you abet them. The time is coming soon for leaders across America and in particular the GOP to make it clear whether you stand with or against fascism, white supremacy and hate.

Some voters don't believe Trump is an actual threat. We cover 3 ways to address the "believability gap" 1️⃣ talk about the authoritarian tactics already happening 2️⃣ explain what would be worse in a 2nd term 3️⃣ use examples from around the world ifyoucankeepit.org/p/getting-over…

Trump just cares about attention and power for its own sake. He doesn’t care about policy or what to do with power. For that, he’ll rely on those around him: Laura Loomer, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, and the Project 2025 crew. A vote for Trump is a vote for them.

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors. In the end, we, the American people-not any of our institutions-have to save our democracy by registering and voting in defense of our freedoms the next two months. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.

NEW: More than a dozen Republicans who worked under Ronald Reagan are endorsing Vice President Harris. "The time for choosing we face today is a choice between integrity and demagoguery, and the choice must be Harris-Walz. The choice between truth and lies demands support for

John Roberts sounds delusional. Not insane or hallucinating. But so out of touch, so high on his own supply, so deep in a bubble that Roberts—per this NYT report—thought his awfully reasoned, wildly un-American immunity ruling would be well received by the public and history.

Brett is a veteran and two-time Trump voter from Texas: “I served in the United States Air Force. I am a two-time Trump voter. I’ve been a lifelong Republican…I will vote for Kamala Harris to preserve our democracy.”

It's HIGHLY unusual for a majority opinion to be reassigned from one justice to another when nobody has flipped. It seems Roberts seized the J6 case from Alito to avoid bad optics. Which is so damning—if Alito couldn't *write* the opinion, he obviously needed to recuse himself!

This reporting suggests that Roberts KNEW Alito's participation in a Jan. 6 case—in favor of J6 defendants—posed a major ethics problem ... but his solution was to take over the opinion from Alito rather than pressuring Alito to recuse. Optics over ethics. nytimes.com/2024/09/15/us/…

Conway: None of his tricks are working anymore. We are on to them. They don't excite anybody anymore. He is losing in the polls. He has to try to make things up. His own VP candidate basically said we are making up stories to win this election. It isn't working for him.

It's good that DeWine is speaking up. But he could do two more things: Go to Springfield, meet with law-abiding residents of all backgrounds, and pledge the state's support for those who are being threatened by bigotry and terror. Withdraw his support for Trump-Vance.

There’s no place for violence in our politics and there should be no place for violence in our society, There’s been too much violence and hate and chaos in recent years. We need to move past this era and bring the country back together.

As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President’s

VP Harris: “I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence.”
