What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire. She’s been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character. Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans. As I’ve said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America’s story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she’ll continue writing that story. She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans. Above all, she will continue to be a leader our children will look up to for generations to come as she puts her stamp on America’s future.

Replying to @gordonkeith
@gordonkeith you were talking about new cars on the Corner. Made me think of this very recent story and the charm of a new car. My 11-year-old car that I bought new died the other day. Likely needs a new transmission. 1/2

My son, who goes to a school where he sees upperclassmen driving new cars all the time, makes the suggestion that I just leave it on the side of the road come home and buy a new car. 2/2

If Trump becomes president again, after all we know ,and you supported his campaign you will have participated in the end of American democracy. You will not be rewarded by your leader beyond a rush you might seek for upending civility. You aren't part of his plan. He is the entirety of his plan and the future will belong to him. Not you. You won't get a thank you or a knowing nod. He will allow you to buy trinkets with his image and name emblazoned. Trump is a despicable example of human kind. Devoid of compassion. Devoid of any respect for knowledge and education. Trump is the fully realized Id. He will have no guardians , no guard rails and no shame. He cannot tell the difference between what he is and what he wants. There is none when you analyze the situation. He flunks Descarte's building block syllogism automatically. He can't think so no therefore. Ego driven rage and revenge. If you're inclined to assist him please rethink your reasons. #Trump – at Erlanger, KY

I have been a @dfwticket P1 since about 06. I have so much regard for the guys who have retired and left and moved on to the other station, podcast, and life in general. But I really miss their voices today alongside Bob, Corby, Donny, Sean, and the rest. #theticket #ticketP1

Enough. I urge Republican lawmakers in Congress to fulfill their duty to protect the American people. Work with us to pass commonsense gun reforms. This is the very least we owe every American who will now bear the scars — physical and mental — of this latest attack in Maine.

I stand by what I've long said. Attacks on civilians are never justified. Hamas terrorist attacks, which have killed 200 Israeli civilians, are condemnable, inexcusable, and horrific. My deepest condolences to the loved ones of those lost. Furthermore, Hamas is not Palestine. Israel's attacks, which have killed 230 Palestinian civilians, are condemnable, inexcusable, and horrific. Israel now cutting off electricity to 2M+ Gazan civilians is collective punishment and violates international law. Let’s be clear. Occupation is violence. And innocent children and civilians continue to suffer the gravest consequences of this violence. The United States and the world must stand together and stop this violence by upholding justice based diplomacy—the one tactic that can truly create peace between Palestine and Israel. As a human rights lawyer, I will always stand for justice for Israel and justice for Palestine, where every Israeli civilian and child is safe, and every Palestinian civilian and child is safe. That is the only path forward.
