BREAKING: Jack Smith just filed his response to Trump asking the SCOTUS to block the DC Court of Appeals & does not mince words: "Trump's criminal scheme to overturn an election & thwart the peaceful transfer of power should be the last place to recognize...absolute immunity."
"Applicant cannot show, as he must to merit a stay, a fair prospect of success...Nor can applicant show the balance of equities or the public interest favors continued delay...Delay in the resolution of these charges threatens...the public interest in a speedy & fair verdict."
Read his full response here. A very strongly argued opposition. Have a feeling that even if the Supreme Court took this up, it wouldn't favor Trump. Jack Smith & the DOJ have a solid case to make.

Have stayed silent on this, but after today, I can’t. Like her or not, AOC is one of our party’s brightest and best communicators. She’s a generational talent and force. Democrats need to start elevating our best & brightest young people to the spotlight—now. Period.
People like @AOC and @MaxwellFrostFL and all the other young forces & talents shouldn’t be pushed to the sidelines. They should be leading our committees and being relentlessly visible. Democrats need new leadership and fresh voices. People are hungry for it.
@AOC @MaxwellFrostFL The old playbook, run by the same generation of Democrats who have defined us for so, long simply will not cut it. We must not only include young & talented voices, but we must not be afraid to let them be ranking members on committee & take charge. Democrats, please learn ASAP.

This video of Trump promising to block emergency disaster funds to CA because of political vendettas is why Gavin Newsom is calling an emergency session & why every governor with a Blue trifecta must do the same. States are the frontlines of democracy.
Donald Trump, in this video, is standing in California. He calls @GavinNewsom a pejorative name & says he won’t provide him funding in the case of an emergency disaster. We know who Trump is. Now is the time to take action & be proactive before it’s too late.
@GavinNewsom Yesterday, Gavin Newsom spoke on a post-election call & emphasized that he wants to have an open hand, not a closed fist, but that he also wants to be proactive about protecting Californians from the very things that Trump promised to do if president.

NEW: The Kamala Harris campaign just released its final ad & I’m reduced to tears. Kamala Harris is the leader we need. Working for her has been an honor of the lifetime & we are going to fight like never before these next 3 days to get her elected as president. Watch & share.
What I love about this ad is how voters see Kamala Harris. From the opening shot with Hannah to voters telling Kamala how she's going to bring us together, Kamala inspires. She brings joy. She brings happiness. That matters & we are so much better for it.
"Throughout this campaign, I've seen the best of America. And I've seen what has been holding you back...high costs, fundamental rights taken away, and politics that have driven fear & division. You deserve better. As president, I'll bring a new generation of leadership."

Don't look away: "She Voted for Trump. Then She Had Two Terrifying Miscarriages in Texas. My sister Victoria spent 24+ hours hemorrhaging into 3 diapers when Dallas-area hospitals declined to help. 'You’re not supposed to have regrets, but I do,' she said about supporting Trump."
If you read one thing today, please make it be this piece right here. It's absolutely heart-breaking and gut-wrenching in the worst ways possible. It shows that there are real-life consequences to Trump's abortion policies. Every man & woman should care. thebarbedwire.com/2024/10/09/she…
That year, on Election Day, she voted for Trump.

6 years later — after Trump appointed three SCOTUS justices who each voted to overturn Roe — my sister sat hemorrhaging for hours in the emergency waiting room in the conservative small town of Waxahachie. thebarbedwire.com/2024/10/09/she…

This is AMAZING. Gov. Tim Walz just announced a media blitz to reach young men, including a reunion with his former high school football team that he coaches & pheasant hunting with a bunch of social media influencers. THIS is what Gov. Walz does best & it’s will matter a lot.
“Faced with a serious polling deficit among young men, Harris' campaign is dispatching the Minnesota governor on a man-focused media blitz on Friday, including football-focused TV interviews and pheasant hunting with digital influencers.” This is what I’ve wanted to see forever!!
Here’s how it’s going to run down:

—GMA intv with Michael Strahan on football field
—Ml events on Friday, geared toward Black men
—Friday night lights @ Mankato West
—Pheasant hunting with social media influencers

This is AMAZING. The Kamala Harris is live-streaming Gov. Walz’s rally in Arizona on The World of Warcraft Twitch stream — which consists of predominantly young men. There is no better messenger than Gov. Walz for this demographic. Genius move that will matter a lot.
More: “Kamala Harris’ campaign is livestreaming a Tim Walz rally from Arizona and Azeroth tonight. Yes, Azeroth—the planet from World of Warcraft. This will be the first time the Harris campaign will stream live gameplay on its Twitch account.” .wired.com/story/tim-walz…
“The event…will include a live feed of Walz’s Arizona speech with Preheat, a Twitch creator, playing the game and providing commentary. Preheat is expected to highlight their connection to the campaign and encourage viewers to make a plan to vote.” .wired.com/story/tim-walz…
