Trump was indicted by grand juries of his fellow citizens. He has been charged with 88 criminal felony charges. He has been found guilty of 34 of them. He is awaiting trial on the rest. A convicted felon who tried to overturn the 2020 election should not be President.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger@Schwarzenegger·
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

@Timheming @BritTri and the Games were wonderful, notwithstanding the huge investment to make the swimming venue safe. NB the first Commonwealth triathlon took place in 1990 in Auckland in demonstration mode. The course was extremely tough and alot of fun! Baker and Wells 🇳🇿 won 🥇 3/3

@Timheming Louise Martin led the programme aspects of the games and she was receptive to inclusion given @BritTri ‘s considerable support for an annual CORUS/Tata/GE national event at Strathclyde country park. 2/3

Triathlon not included in 2026 Commonwealth Games. An error given strength of nations & success of tri in previous Games (including Strathclyde Park 2014), but time for Games themselves to bid farewell. They don't fit, financially or otherwise, any more. 220triathlon.com/news/triathlon…

Expressing deep personal sympathy and condolences to all families who have lost a family member through terrorist or other aggressively brutal acts, either immediately or sometime later. Thank you to all those who have found the courage to try to bring an end to this.

Reflecting on the most mentally exhausting season of coaching since 2004, the biggest support I had throughout were other coaches. Direct opposition sharing their advice and experiences of similar issues, concerns or opportunities. Reaching out to other coaches helps IMO.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

Tommy Robinson deleted this Tweet, as it accidentally had his lawyer telling him in the bottom right corner that he will no longer represent him. You know what to do.

@fatsculler The hardest they have to do acclimatise to ‘normal’ life where most people half ass things. They have spent years surrounded by the most gifted and focused people of society and they’re about to enter the reality They have opportunities though, so hope each of them find happiness
