For too long, there has been an increasing imbalance of power between the governed & the government.
We’re proud to announce the launch of our allied organization @FranklinProjUS — a nonpartisan group dedicated to civic engagement & education — to help restore that balance.
.@FranklinProjUS will help empower YOU to organize in your community for a stronger democracy.
We need to expect — and demand — better.
Democracy demands our attention — not just every four years, but every day of every year.
Learn more about @FranklinProjUS and consider joining its efforts.
THREAD: The Lincoln Project accepts that America has voted to re-elect Donald Trump on his victory. We believe in this democracy and in the peaceful transfer of power when the voters have spoken.
Four years ago when he lost by over seven million votes, Donald Trump’s Big Lie tore the country apart. For the first time in American history, there was no peaceful transition of power.
We said, as did many, this is not how it should work in America. In a democracy, someone must be willing to lose. In this election, it’s our turn to play that role in our democratic process.
THREAD: Members of the iconic West Wing television show reunited to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President in a new ad created in partnership with the Lincoln Project.
The group released this statement of endorsement:
“We had the good fortune to work together on a television show called The West Wing. Our White House was a make-believe world. We dealt with real-life issues, from reproductive rights to national security, but when we went home at the end of the day, no one’s life was changed based on what happened in our fictional world.
“On November 5th, America will make a decision that will have profound consequences for every American and for the American Experiment itself. This is not an ordinary election. Democracy is on the ballot. Lives will be changed based on the choice of millions of Americans.
🧵: Happy Halloween 🎃 Reality is scarier than fiction sometimes, and the GOP proves that every day with their dark vision for America. This election, let's make sure these horror films full of monsters and criminals don't become a reality 👹😱
🧵: MAGA GOPers always put on a front for voters, but Trump’s Nazi rally yesterday took their masks off and revealed them as the real bigots, fascists and crooks they are. Thankfully, we have a strong chance to defeat many of them at the ballot box next week. It’s time to look behind all their empty words and unveil their true, ugly record to the voters.
@tedcruz (R, TX), our least favorite Cancun tourist, is a profile in cowardice, spending his entire career running away and betraying his own constituents when they need him the most.
.@SenRickScott (R, FL) has only ever been in it for himself, not everyday Floridians. Look no further than him committing the biggest Medicare fraud in history.
.@HawleyMO (R, MO) loves to pretend to be the pinnacle of manhood, but cowered from the very mob he cheered for in a photo ops on January 6th.
THREAD: Today’s announcement by the Colorado Secretary Of State’s Office stating an attempt at vote fraud was prevented serves to illustrate the system is working and holding up against serious efforts of election interference. denverpost.com/2024/10/24/mes…
But this – along with the burning of a ballot box in Arizona – are only the first attempts to deny voters their basic unalienable right to choose their own leaders.
Our nation does not face another January 6th attack on the Capitol, but rather a more dangerous and insidious threat: numerous J6-style events in swing states and counties across the nation.
THREAD: #HurricaneMilton has rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane on a path toward Florida population centers. If you live in the affected areas, be prepared and make sure to use or share these resources with anyone who may be in need:
