Stock markets at record highs, low unemployment, wage growth exceeds inflation, the best handling of inflation of any G7 nation, energy independence, and I can go on and on and on...But no matter how this result lands, whether VP Harris ekes this out or not, it is amazing how unappreciated successful governance was in this election and how Americans are so willing to bring back into office the guy who caused all the destruction.

Keep calm, folks. It's closer than any of us wanted. I'm sad about it, too. But it's not over. Lot of votes left to be counted. 💙

A majority of Florida voters chose access to abortion and legalized cannabis while also voting for the candidates that took away access to abortion and criminalized cannabis. The very definition of voting against your own interests

Anyone in America who tells you Trump will be better for our economy needs this retweeted for them immediately.

That’s not Melania. This is insane.

Reminder: If your vote didn’t matter, Republicans wouldn’t be doing everything in their power to take it away.

From colleague @holmeslybrand: The Philadelphia Police Department told CNN they were not aware what Trump was referring to and did not know of any issues with voting that required a law enforcement response.

BREAKING: This is currently the line at the University of Arizona. It’s looking more and more like record turnout from youth voters for Kamala Harris. This is huge.

🚨URGENT🚨Getting reports people are being turned away to vote when their ID address doesn't match on file address - that is NOT correct! The addresses don't have to match. If you or someone you know runs into this, tell them to insist on filling out a provisional ballot.

It's weird how there are always lots of anti-Dem hoaxes emanating from Russia, pro-Trump hoaxes emanating from Russia and also various bomb threats always emanating from Russia. Hard to put together what it all might mean.

Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

We need to give President Kamala Harris a historically commanding mandate. We also need to issue a historic rejection of Trump & MAGA. To do this: we need EVERY voter in EVERY state to go to the polls today. The Electoral college is awful. It does NOT take away your VOICE.

Nevada young people - answer your phones today.

Every vote is gonna matter today. If you need help voting, call the Voter Assistance Hotline at (833) 336-8683.

This is always the way with him: the people who are closest to him are the ones who find him the most repulsive. Honestly, if you knew not a single other thing about the man that would be enough to vote against him. The closer people get, the more they realize he is a monster.

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein. When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who was paying peripheral attention. I've regretted that vote for my entire adult life. Ultimately, George Bush won by a margin of 500+ votes in the state of Florida over Gore. And that was the ballgame. Ralph Nader peeled 97,000+ votes away from Gore. If only 600 of those 90,000 had voted for the major party candidate that more aligned with their values, things would have been very different. When I was in my senior year of college, 9/11 happened. The country and western world rallied around Bush's resolute response to the traumatizing terror attacks. I was in NY at the time, and it was a terrifying moment for the nation. But the consequences of Bush being in office at that moment were immense. Bush's disdain for his dad's nemesis, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, led him to invent a rationale to invade a country that literally had nothing to do with 9/11. End result? He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people, thousands of American troops, and spent over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money in the process. Beyond the completely immoral and indefensible Iraq War, Bush was a complete disaster as a president. His "No Child Left Behind" effort turned public schools into standardized testing centers. He tripled down on fossil fuels and ignored climate change. His tax cuts for the rich helped contribute to the 2008 economic downturn that led to the Great Recession. He was a terrible president. In an alternate reality, Al Gore would have been president in 2001 when terrorists attacked America. Would he have gone into Iraq? Absolutely not. Would he have ignored global warming? 100% no! Gore was perhaps the preeminent proponent of fighting climate change at that time. Would he have passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy? No way. This is a sliding doors scenario. What would have happened? We can't be sure. But one thing is for sure: those votes for Ralph Nader (in Florida in particular) were EXCEPTIONALLY consequential for the lives of millions around the world. Gore would have offered a more forward-facing, environmentally conscious & peaceful presidency that wasn't so rooted in grievance and privilege. My point is: Either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will win the election. That is a fact. You might feel the need to submit a "protest vote" as I did in 2000. Just be ready to wear it when Donald Trump wins, strips away reproductive rights from all Americans, implements an economy-destroying tariff, dismantles the entire federal government, eliminates the Department of Education, prosecutes his perceived enemies, and devolves America into chaos. There are no perfect choices. But rest assured, there are only two. Trust me - I've been wearing my vote for a quarter century.
