In the 1930s, American fascists were funded by Germany — to stop the US from protecting democracy in Europe.
In the 2020s, American fascists are funded by Russia — to stop the US from protecting democracy in Europe.
We defeated them then. We will defeat them again.
New York is NOT a swing state. Trump will lose by double digits - even Trump knows that.
So why a rally at Madison Square Garden?
Precisely BECAUSE of the echoes of the Nazi rally in 1939 - and so he can stoke his base by claiming to "own the libs."
It's all theater for MAGA.
🪦 RIP Washington Post, 1877-2024
Michigan's record for early voting was 11,000 in one day.
Today is the first day of early voting in Michigan -- and over 100,000 people have now voted.
And there are still several hours left to go.
The last time there was an "America First" rally at Madison Square Garden, in 1939:
FACTS about the border:
Republicans proposed a very tough border bill.
Democrats surprised everyone by embracing the bill.
Then Republicans suddenly KILLED their own bill -- because Donald Trump didn't want to give Biden and Harris a win.
THAT is the truth.
Trump’s not playing to win anymore.
He’s gearing up for the next January 6.
Jeff Bezos is worth $204.3 billion -- and even he's afraid of what a Trump dictatorship could bring.
Money and privilege won't buy you safety from fascism.
But you can still resist and prevent it, right now.
VOTE.
When I was at the NY AG, a friend of mine couldn’t even buy me a drink because he was working for a govt contractor. As public servants we took our ethical duties seriously. You serve the people, not yourself.
Clarence Thomas got 38 free luxury vacations and kept them secret.
BREAKING: Washington Post REFUSES to endorse a candidate for president
Again: the mainstream media is COMPROMISED - Donald Trump is the ONLY reason they're still in business
I am canceling my Post subscription, and I will NOT write for them again until they make serious changes
Break your oath of office by trying to overthrow the Constitution you swore to defend — and you never get to hold office again.
It’s that simple.
Dear Republicans:
If you represent a large Puerto Rican community and thus now want to distance yourself from Trump, there is only one legit way to do so.
Withdraw your endorsement of Trump.
Anything else is fake bullshit.
Love,
America
The Trump campaign now tries to say the Puerto Rico “floating garbage” line does not “reflect the views” of the Trump campaign.
IT WAS IN THE DAMN TELEPROMPTER.
BREAKING: Florida MAGA Senator Rick Scott tries to distance himself from Puerto Rico “floating garbage” line at tonight’s Trump rally
Florida has the largest Puerto Rican community of any state — 1.1 MILLION
Scott is on the ballot November 5 — and now he’s going to LOSE
Don’t believe slavery was the cause of the Civil War?
South Carolina’s own secession declaration in 1860 said so!
It cited “increasing hostility … of the non-slaveholding states to the institution of slavery.”
You know, the same South Carolina where Haley used to be governor.
The mainstream media is addicted to Trump and the revenue he generates.
But the revenue comes from ALL OF US.
If we stop paying, stop clicking, stop watching, they will either have to change or die.
CANCEL THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA BEFORE THEY CANCEL OUR DEMOCRACY - AND OUR FREEDOM
Florida can NOT be an asylum for dictators.
Extradite Bolsonaro.
Indict Trump.
Now.
In the 1930s, American fascists were funded by Germany — to stop the US from protecting democracy in Europe.
In the 2020s, American fascists are funded by Russia — to stop the US from protecting democracy in Europe.
We defeated them then. We will defeat them again.
We need fewer Democrats like Joe Manchin — and more Democrats like Andy Beshear.
BREAKING: 5th Circuit rules Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas can only count mailed ballots that are received by Election Day, rather than postmarked on Election Day
BUT the court specifically did NOT apply this to THIS year's election - and says status quo should stand for now
So the former QB who should be indicted for stealing money from welfare funds to help children is endorsing the former guy who’s been indicted 4 times and convicted of 34 felony counts of business fraud for covering up hush money to a pornstar he had an affair with? Got it.
Is this a COPIER in one of the rooms where Trump kept government documents at Mar-a-Lago?
Trump rally quotes just now
“There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
“And these Latinos, they love making babies too. … There’s no pulling out… They come inside. Just like they did to our country.”
Have you voted yet?
If so, where, when, and how?
If not, what's your plan for voting?
