Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.
And Matt Gaetz is now the nominee to lead DOJ. An agency that prosecuted sexual misconduct will now be run by someone who has engaged in sexual misconduct. We deserve so much better than this. So much better than this.
and he is STILL being invested by the House Ethics Committee. Republicans who are horrified and shocked must oppose him. History will be watching. We will be watching. Matt Gaetz is truly a complete joke. Period. /END.

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…
This is big. A new poll today finds that only 45% of Nikki Haley voters would vote for Donald Trump & 36% of them would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris if the election were held today. Thank you, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, & every Republican speaking out. It matters.
This pollcomes "on the heels of a New York Times/Siena College poll showing that Harris has made major inroads among GOP voters, with 9 percent saying they planned to support the vice president, up from 5 percent from a survey last month." thebulwark.com/p/exclusive-po…
"The Blueprint survey shows slippage for Trump among both Haley voters who identified as Reps & those who identified as independents. Only 49 percent of Reps Haley voters plan to vote for Trump in 2024, compared to 64 percent who voted for him in 2020." thebulwark.com/p/exclusive-po…
