Impossible to overstate the gravity of the situation. We are not going back--to anything normal.

With the stakes so high, it would seem prudent to do a forensic audit of the election. Especially before turning the keys over to a convicted felon.

I agree with Simon Rosenberg. In Harris-Walz, we are seeing the best-run & most remarkable campaign in modern history. Campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon is a brilliant strategist & the ground game will ensure a strong finish. Harris' speech on the Ellipse in front of 75K people was a master-stroke. SNL was an exclamation point. Since that Sunday in July Harris has been pitch-perfect. Just a joy to watch.

The Guardian is now running the story of over 100 hours of tape that show #Trump's close ties to #Epstein. This is based on info from author Michael Wolff, who has been offering the story to American media for weeks--with no takers. The media is #complicit.

I worked in communications, public relations & advertising for years. But honestly--I didn't think people were this easily manipulated. To put it another way, I didn't know there was so much anger & racism. It's been a learning curve.

The Trump campaign has been a freefall into the abyss. 'Eating cats & dogs' was insane. The 'garbage man' photo op was insane. The economic so-called policies are insane. Calling for mass deportations is insane. Calling for Liz Cheney's execution is insane. The closing argument is doubling down on insanity, lies & hate. That the media props up a deranged convicted felon while treating all this as normal proves we are in an information war funded by billionaires. A new day is coming.

Should have known there is an actual 'Dead cat strategy.' Wikipedia defines it as "the political strategy of making a shocking announcement to divert media away from problems or failures in other areas." Trump & Vance are incredibly lazy--among other things. But what excuse does the media have?

Over 8 short weeks Kamala Harris gained the Democratic nomination, united the party, selected a running mate, raised massive amounts of cash, barnstormed swing states, headlined a prime-time convention, rolled out a platform & decimated Donald Trump in a debate. Harris & her team demonstrated the vision, tactics, discipline, energy, momentum, resources, organization & will to win. The Trump campaign not so much.

#KamalaHarris

Attacking #TaylorSwift is unlikely to turn things around for Donald Trump.

@Lizette603_23'm encouraged by the fact that Harris & Walz seem to enjoy working hard. Also, by reports that Harris is tough to brief because she's actually read the briefing notes & asks tough questions. Hard work is good work.

@DebErupts @Lizette603_23 Just about every CEO & economist in the country trusts Harris more than Trump on the economy. There's no comparison. Trump has no plan. Or even concept of a plan.

Kamala Harris is putting on a master-class in defence of democracy.

Wow. What a devastating performance by Kamala Harris. The performance of a lifetime.

Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. 😎

Tim Walz' first experience with a teleprompter was just a couple of weeks ago. But Walz is a naturally gifted communicator, and Republican kryptonite: "While other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours."

#HakeemJeffries' speech embodies what Democrats are projecting right now: confidence.

#HakeemJeffries to Donald Trump: "Bro, we broke up with you for a reason."

#HakeemJeffries is having a very good time. And so is the audience.

Some masterful speeches at the DNC so far. #AOC brought the passion & #HakeemJeffries brought the joy. It feels like a party reborn.

The Harris - Walz campaign know what they're doing. 😎
