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.
“We came to our West Wing with different personal politics and backgrounds. But it was impossible to work on this show without sharing a deep pride in what it meant to be an American. We were lucky to work together for years but we knew our greatest good luck was waking up each day as part of the world’s oldest democracy.
“The White House is home to more than the President’s family and staff. It holds the aspirations of generations striving to make the idea of America embody the best within us all. It is a symbol to the world of freedom, decency and hope.
“We support Kamala Harris for president because we love America. As the Vice President said a few days ago on the hallowed ground of the Ellipse, ‘This election is more than just a choice between two parties and two different candidates. It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American or ruled by chaos and division.’”
🧵: 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:

THREAD: Today The Lincoln Project joined with @Ga1stPplOverPol in filing an Amicus Curiae with the Georgia Superior Court to strike down the unworkable and idiotic new rules adopted by the Georgia State Elections Board just weeks before the election.
“These conspiracy theory-fueled board actions are an attempt to legislate by rule and cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. When elections are politicized, everyone loses. America loses. Good governance is not a partisan issue,” said lifelong Republican and @Ga1stPplOverPol founder and exec director Natalie Crawford."
The rules lack meaningful standards, conflict with a century’s worth of legal precedence, and radically alter how votes are cast, counted, and certified. Unelected bureaucrats rushed the process to stack the deck in favor of Trump at the expense of a fair election process.
THREAD: Tonight, our thoughts are with those being affected by #HurricaneHelene in the Southeast, we are reminded that Project 2025 promises to eliminate the vital agencies that American citizens struck by natural disasters are relying on today.
Donald Trump's Project 2025 would:
- cut FEMA
- kill the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
- kill federal-backed flood insurance
- kill emergency disaster funding for state/local govts
