If Harris wins tomorrow night - or if Harris even appears *likely* to win key states - you will see @elonmusk and the MAGA crowd go full disinformation immediately. They will claim the election is being stolen. It will be coordinated and immediate.
Realize this is coming.

Per @TargetSmart in 2020, women were 46.8% of battleground state early voters who were 1st time voters and men 44.7, a gap of 2.1 pts. In 2024: women are 49.7% and men 43.9%, gap of 5.8%-nearly three times as big as last time. Where are the bros?

"We have to tell them over and over again, 'Voter suppression's fake. Voter fraud is fake. It's used to raise money and get you angry,'" says Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s chief operating officer for the secretary of state. cbsn.ws/4hv2cLU

On CNN SOTU, Sen. John Fetterman pushes back on GOP transgender ads blanketing the state. "It doesn't make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids. It just makes you an asshole."

A student journalist broke one of the biggest stories in the final days of the presidential election
BREAKING: I asked @SpeakerJohnson if he’ll try to repeal the CHIPS Act if Trump wins and they have control of Congress.
“I expect that we probably will.”
@RepWilliams responds: “I will remind him night and day how important the CHIPS Act is.” #NY22

NEW: The Trump campaign has paused its premature celebration and fallen into sweat mode, as early-voting numbers indicate more women are turning up than men in must-win PA & operatives are bringing out the briefcases for lawfare. “They’re going so crazy here" puck.news/inside-mar-a-lago-…

I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.
I remember what it was like when Trump was president.
I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...
I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.
I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”
But I was not surprised..
Because I ALSO remember… he launched his campaign by calling Latinos criminals and rapists.
He’s told us what he’ll do.
He'll separate children from their families and threatened to use the ARMY to do it
This election goes way beyond political parties.
Now let’s remember what the United States represents and stands for. It’s our name - United.
Regardless of where we’re from.
I’m Marc Anthony…
I remember…
And that’s why I support Kamala Harris for President

Organizing ask: I need every Boricua on here to take that rally clip and drop it in your family WhatsApps and group chats. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
ESPECIALLY if you have family in these states. And give them the link to IWillVote.com while you’re at it.

Based on the Republican reaction from Florida electeds like Rick Scott and Maria Salazar, the Trump rally looks like it is backfiring with one of the most pivotal constituencies in this election— Hispanic voters.

Bezos's decision to block a WaPo endorsement of Harris is "the most consequential American entrepreneur of his generation signaling his submission to Trump," writes @JVLast. And it sends a message to every other corporation.
The guardrails are collapsing. lnk.thebulwark.com/4hiKb3k

"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.

Awful ruling by an awful court. 5th Circuit is the most extreme federal appellate court in the nation. Not coincidentally, it presides over highest % of residents of color of any circuit. It was already incredibly hostile to voting rights before Trump appointed six of its judges.

Here's the Washington Post's front page on January 7, 2021. Four years later, the paper, famous for its tagline "Democracy Dies in Darkness," doesn't want to take a stand on who is fit to be president.

On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T
This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

The only age cohort the NYT has Trump winning is GenX. You losers pretended to be cynical/detached and then got fooled into fascism by America's campiest huckster. Worst generation!
If we survive this we are skipping you and moving straight to an earnest millennial president.

A few quick thoughts on NV early vote, since I'm sensing an irrational Dem freakout taking place there.

so embarrassing to support trump at this point, like folks got tricked once in 2015 and instead of admitting it, made it their entire personality
