My posts are being. throttled. Followers ground to a halt. Unable to tweet links to 280+ characters. Patreon account suspended without warning. All within 10 days of the election. They didn’t stop us in 2020 and they’re not stopping us now. Let’s win this thing. #HarrisWalz2024

@mrredincali so you are more comfortable with the racist and misogynistic name calling of the trumpers?

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

NEW Los Angeles Times editorial page editor Mariel Garza resigned from the paper on Wednesday following the decision by owner Patrick Soon-Shiong not to endorse a political candidate for president. “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza told Columbia Journalism Review. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.” thewrap.com/la-times-edito…

Half of Donald Trump’s own cabinet won’t endorse him. His vice president won’t support him. And now we hear from his former chief of staff that he praised Nazi generals because all he cares about is his own power. Trump isn’t fit to be Commander in Chief. pbs.org/newshour/polit…

I just cancelled my subscription. I don't need to spend $15.96/month to read only what Patrick Soon-Schiong allows the paper's staff to publish. You can also cancel, and let them know why, here: customerservices@latimes.com

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”

Cancelling my @latimes subscription now. How disappointing.

(📢) The meme to end all memes: the Top 100 reasons not to support Donald Trump... in one image. I’m a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer, and this is the culmination of what I learned over a decade. What do you think—any chance we could get this to 50K RETWEETS by Election Day?

Cry baby Elon Musk is threatening to suspend my account for posting this picture

I’m giving TWO lucky fans THE ORIGINAL F—K DALLAS SHIRT as infamously seen last year when the #49ers played the #Cowboys. Repost this post and make sure you’re following me. I’ll select two random winners! #GoNiners #FTTB

🧵 Rachel Maddow: "I have a question for business people, or for business-minded people, or even just for people who say that business issues and economic issues are their main concern. That's what's driving them as they think about this election." (1/10)

Quincy Olivari got emotional talking about meeting his idol, Stephen Curry.

Jim Gaffigan roasts Trump: "If VP Harris wins this election, not only would she be the first female president, a Black woman would occupy the White House—a former Trump residence. Obviously, you wouldn't be renting to her. That would never happen anyway. Maybe if Doug did the signing."

An Elon Musk-funded PAC is microtargeting Muslim people in Michigan and Jewish people in Pennsylvania with opposite messaging about Kamala Harris using ZIP code targeting, according to data I pulled from Snapchat. Few things from this investigation: 404media.co/this-is-exactl…
