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.

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.

🧵: 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.Image .@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. Image

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.

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."

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. Image 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

How will you feel the morning after Election Day?

Will it be a repeat of that brutal November day in 2016 when millions of Americans woke up to the reality that a sexual predator, serial liar, and the most dangerous man to ever hold the office would become President? Watch our latest ad “That Morning” here:

THREAD: Today, The Lincoln Project received a cease and desist for an ad currently running on Fox News in Mar-a-Lago. As it turns out, these losers can’t stand to be laughed at or mocked, and LaCivita and Wiles apparently didn’t appreciate that our ad states the obvious– Chris and Susie have royally screwed up Trump’s campaign and selected for him the weirdest ever VP candidate — kookier even than Sarah Palin. Poor Trump. His campaign is in shambles and so is his mind. He brought back Corey Lewandowski—

🧵: This July 4th, Trump & MAGA cultists will drape themselves in American flags & faux-gold Trump sneakers... but their movement couldn't be more Un-American & in opposition to American values.

THREAD: If Trump succeeds in November, he'll destroy the America we love. It's not just what he will personally do that should terrify you - it's what his sycophants will do. He's enlisting an army of loyalists that plan to roll back rights, wreck our government and democracy. #Project2025 is an affront to how we’ve defined our country since its inception. Trump and his supporters consider themselves, “true Americans.” Their manifesto and his blindly loyal followers are anything but.

Today, House Speaker Mike Johnson is joining Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Here’s what we think you should know: Image To Trump, Johnson is as disposable as the last guy. This is what Trump does, he sucks in Republicans in power when he needs them and moves on when the relationship no longer serves him. This is why the Republican Party no longer has any core leaders other than Trump.

THREAD 🧵: Donald Trump isn't just bleeding the RNC dry of funds, he's bleeding the party of voters. Those who know how he works best, his own former employees, are refusing to give him their vote.

Don't take our word for it, listen to them: Mike Pence, Fmr. Vice President: "The reason I cannot in good conscience endorse Trump this year is because he is walking away from keeping the faith of the Constitution, a commitment to fiscal responsibility... to American leadership and the world."
