Holy sh*t. Linda Ronstadt has absolutely HAD it with Donald Trump & JD Vance & she is not holding back one bit. This statement is so good. Everyone must read & share this.
I mean…what an opening: “Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something.” She is not messing around here & Donald better be careful
She adds, “There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.
Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I'm worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.” Just brutal.
& to JD: “I raised 2 adopted children in Tucson as a single mom…I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I'm unmarried & didn't give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”🔥

OMG. MSNBC just aired the best montage I’ve seen—starting with Kamala Harris’s saying, “I invite you to attend one of Trump’s rallies” & then immediately showing Trump at his rally yesterday talking about everything from “geese” to grunting. SO good. Watch.
Clip 1: Harris inviting the audience to attend Trump’s rally
Clip 2: Trump dancing weirdly
Clip 3: Harris saying it’s an interesting thing to watch
Clip 4: Trump saying to women he won’t follow them to the hospital
Clip 5: Harris saying people leave Trump’s rallies early
This is huge. 88 corporate leaders & CEOs just endorsed Kamala Harris. Corporate leaders don’t do this for no reason. The fact that they endorsed Kamala Harris should send a strong signal about just how good she is & why we all must vote for her to make our economy stronger.
“Several high-profile CEOs of public companies, including Aaron Levie of Box, Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp & Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap, Inc.”

NEW: Kamala Harris’s campaign just launched “Republicans for Harris” with 25+ former GOP elected officials & staffers saying they will reject Trump & vote for Kamala Harris this November. This matters & it’s heroic. There is a home for everyone on the Kamala Harris campaign.
“VP Kamala Harris' campaign on Sunday is launching ‘Republicans for Harris…The program will kick off with events this week in AZ, NC & PA. Republicans backing Harris will also appear at rallies with the VP and her soon-to-be-named running mate.” abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/v…
Former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham: “I might not agree with VP Kamala Harris on everything, but I know she will fight for our freedom, protect our democracy & represent America with honor & dignity on the world stage.” abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/v…
Pete Buttigieg remains one of the best, most effective messengers and communicators of our lifetime. Just take a moment & watch absolutely annihilate JD Vance—calmly, coolly, & with surgical precision. Amazing,
It’s a masterclass in communications for several reasons — 1.) The tone. He doesn’t demean his opponents. He doesn’t engage from a place of hostility. He doesn’t raise his voice. He is calm. He is composed. He is collected. That allows him to more effectively make his argument.
2.) He addresses a question that’s on a lot of folks’ minds — why are so many people from Silicon Valley veering off into Trump world? And immediately pivots to making what appears to be complex something that’s actually simple.
Here's the one thing I'm noticing: The more I talk about Project 2025 to my friends, the more concerned they get and the more committed they are to voting for President Biden. So, I will keep talking about Project 2025 with everyone I know—& you should too. It works.
Where to start, you may ask? Luckily, my friends at @BidenHQ have made some great resources & one-pages with everything you need to know about just how extreme Project 2025 is. Here are a few you can share and use during your conversations:
2.) Read this comprehensive thread re Project 2025 by @GalvinAlmanza. Bookmark it. Have it in your back pocket for anyone who wants a 30,000-foot view of what Project 2025 is (yes, 30,000 -- there's so much more & that's the scariest part of this).
THREAD: I know the danger of Project 2025, because I know one of its key architects, Christopher Miller. I interviewed him on iGen Politics after he left the Trump admin. I was 18 at the time & asked a simple question about his role on 1/6. He blew up & started yelling at ME.
The question was a simple one: In hindsight, would you have done anything differently as the acting director of the Defense Department. Totally fair question. But instead of answering it, he started swearing and threatened to leave the show. Watch:
Luckily, my amazing podcast partner @JillWineBanks stepped in and reigned him back in, but in our over 200+ episodes of the show, we never had someone act as inappropriately or disrespectfully as Chris Miller. I thought that interview would be the last I saw of him. Wrong.
