Here’s Tim Walz giving a 9/11 anniversary speech where he claimed to have “stood one night in the dark of night at Bagram Air Base in Iraq” and watched an American soldier’s body be loaded onto a plane. Bagram is in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Walz didn’t deploy to either. Source: Official Minnesota Government website: lrl.mn.gov/docs/2023/mand…

@BMeiselas Meanwhile, Lara Trump proudly compares the Trump campaign to the Titanic.

Republicans are privately wishing they could switch out Trump for another candidate but know they have shackled themselves to the cult. They are stuck on this sinking ship and there is nothing they can do about it.

Someone's projecting again...

@ZaleskiLuke And a big problem — sending many users like me to Threads — is the proliferation of disinformation. ft.com/content/bdd100…

@EdwardGLuce @peterpomeranzev Indeed, as a result, many long-time Twitter users have fled X for Threads.

"That Musk would be duped by lies on his site is mildly ironic; he has revealed his gullibility before. That he would frequently endorse fringe far-right activists is a cause for genuine concern." My Swamp Notes with the great @peterpomeranzev Gift link. on.ft.com/3MjWSNf

@TomCottonAR @JDVance twitter.com/cmclymer/statu…

.@JDVance is right. Tim Walz’s unit got orders to Iraq. He could’ve gone with them, but didn’t. He let his troops go to war without him instead. Just like he let Minneapolis burn rather than confront the BLM rioters.

@hugolowell Nope.

Trump says on Fox and Friends that he’s heard Kamala Harris is a “nasty person”

@ZaleskiLuke And Russian media surprisingly candid about “Putin’s aim.”

@MGPforCongress Congrats!

Tonight's results are in, and we've won our top-two primary election by a wide margin. Thank you, Southwest Washington. My opponent in the general election will be far-right extremist Joe Kent, the same strange, angry, dangerous bonafide white nationalist I defeated last time. Joe Kent is still too extreme for Southwest Washington, and I'm once again the only thing standing between Joe Kent and a seat in Congress. Joe Kent wants a national ban on abortion with no exceptions. He's said so on tape, multiple times, both before and after Roe v. Wade was struck down. He is outright lying if he tells you otherwise, and he is a threat to the freedom of women and girls. Joe Kent also told a group of white nationalists he wants to ban all immigration into our country for 20 years to secure a white racial majority, while opposing bipartisan legislation to secure the Southern Border and combat fentanyl. Again, he is on tape saying so. I wish Joe Kent's extreme views stopped there, but they do not. Joe Kent is also on the record seeking to ban safe and secure vote-by-mail, thinks the 2020 election was stolen, believes the violent mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th "reeks of an intelligence operation" covertly orchestrated by the American intelligence community, and refers to the convicted felons who were part of the violent mob that day as "political prisoners" who ought to be granted pardons. Joe Kent also wants to arrest Dr. Anthony Fauci and put him on trial for murder. The list of delusional conspiracy theories Joe Kent has expressed an openness to believing grows by the month, especially when the conspiracy theory portrays the United States as the bad guys and aligns with Russian or Chinese state propaganda narratives. Southwest Washington rejected the divisive, extreme politics of Joe Kent two years ago. We rejected them again tonight, we will reject them in November, and we will stop Joe Kent from using our seat in Congress to promote his online attention-seeking behavior and his angry, hateful, dangerous worldview. It's the honor of a lifetime to represent my community in Congress. I'm ranked as the most bipartisan Member of Congress from our state, and that's because I work hard to listen and serve everyone who calls Southwest Washington home, no matter how they vote come election time. I'm an independent voice for rural, working class, and timber communities, because I refuse to accept corporate PAC money and don't listen to special interests who have too much power in politics. In Congress I fight for family farmers, expanding career and technical education in the trades, and the right to repair the stuff we own. I'm focused on curtailing the cost of living increases that are squeezing family budgets, securing the Southern Border, stopping the flow of fentanyl, supporting law enforcement and our veterans, and bringing home our federal tax dollars to replace the 107-year-old I-5 bridge, money other candidates want Southwest Washington to pay in tolls. Every vote I take and every bill I sponsor is guided by what's best for Southwest Washington. No political party has a monopoly on good ideas, and no Member of Congress should put party politics before the people they represent. I co-own an auto repair and machine shop with my husband Dean, and we’ve never asked or cared about the politics of the customers we serve. I promised to take the same approach to my service in Congress, and I’ve kept my promise. I’d be honored to continue representing Southwest Washington and promise to continue putting the place I live ahead of anyone's extreme politics. Whether you’re progressive or conservative, moderate or independent, Republican or Democrat, or don’t feel like any label fits you well, I want to earn your vote. This election is about Southwest Washington coming together to stop Joe Kent and his angry, dangerous, divisive, extreme politics. Tonight was the first step, and in November we will finish the job.

@Chrisvance123 @JulieZebrak Thank you.

I was a Republican for 37 years, serving as a lawmaker and as Chairman of the state party. Now I am proud to support VP Harris because she is better than Trump on national security, better on the economy, and unlike Trump, she will stand with the Constitution and the rule of law

JD Vance: "She wants to take away your gas stoves. She even wants to take away your ability to eat red meat."

@jwcreighton3 Taney did Dred Scott, which triggered the Civil War (700,000 Americans dead).

Love this. Trump tweets voiced by Gollum.

@pastordmack Contrast and compare:

Kamala Harris experience as a prosecutor, attorney general for the state of California, Senator, and VP of the US, makes her by far more qualified than Donald Trump to serve as POTUS. In addition to her superior qualifications, I believe the energy, synergy, fundraising, volunteerism, and momentum driving and characterizing her campaign, within the past two weeks is unprecedented in American political history. In addition to her undeniable, irrefutable high level and impactful experience and qualifications—her phenomenal success thus far as a presidential candidate, captivating moral, monetary, multilayered & diverse demographic support—can in part be attributed to the fact her candidacy symbolically represents those who’ve been historically, systemically, culturally & sometimes legally—to those who have been locked out of leadership, membership, access, and even seats at the table of the highest pinnacle of power. Kamala Harris represents those who’ve been rejected among us. The support she’s galvanized is amazing to me. To see White women and White men rally around her campaign in the name of “she needs our help to win” is empowering, engaging, authentic and attractive unlike I’ve never witnessed in American politics at this level save for, the election of President Obama. It appears that she’ll get the White female vote, and perhaps White male vote in greater numbers than Barak Obama did. Republicans have only themselves to blame for this. Faced with the opportunity and options to nominate AA, Hispanic, or Women as presidential nominees and VPs, over the past 20 years, the Republicans chose not to. They didn’t have to compromise qualifications one iota. They simply chose not to. Consequently, there’s a building under construction—a coalition of the least, the last, the locked out, the disfavored, the disinherited, the rejected, the ridiculed, and those who can empathize, identify with, or who understand that to heal America, we have to heal the historic wounds of alienation, separation, division, and devaluing—centered around Kamala Harris that from the angle of historic rejection, she represents all of us who fall under the category of the rejected, and those who desire to heal, help, and welcome us to a seat at the table, even sitting in the chair designated for the POTUS. We’re witnessing a phenomenal, unprecedented occurrence in the American body politic, and race relations. No matter your political leaning, you ought be able to agree with this.

@tribelaw Yes.

I reacted the same way when Trump mocked a disabled reporter. From that moment I knew he was pure evil.
