With this speech and her earlier call conceding the race, Harris is affording Trump what he did not afford to the incoming Biden-Harris administration: a commitment to a peaceful transition of power and acknowledgment of a legitimate victory.

“America has now twice elected [Trump] as its President. It is a disastrous revelation about what the United States really is, as opposed to the country that so many hoped that it could be.”

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

Whatever the result, it will never not be absolutely terrible that it’s even this close.

Regardless of the outcome, it'll always make me sad that so many people in this country happily vote for pure hatred, bigotry, and cruelty.

From CNN’s @MarshallCohen and @YahyaGhazala: Detroit mayor’s office says they don’t know what Trump is talking about; spokesman for Detroit elections department says, “We are unaware of any police presence in the city for elections beyond what was outlined in a press conference last Thursday and widely reported nationally.”

If you're struggling to describe your emotional state today, may I offer up the term - nauseously optimistic.

From colleague @holmeslybrand: The Philadelphia Police Department told CNN they were not aware what Trump was referring to and did not know of any issues with voting that required a law enforcement response.

Quincy Jones earned a scholarship to Boston's Schillinger House (now the Berklee College of Music) in 1951. A display outside the Office of the President features facsimiles of the then-17-year-old's letter of inquiry and application for admission. #RIPQuincyJones #RIPQuincy
#RIP to the utterly ICONIC Quincy Jones 🙏🕊️🌹🖤 Quincy Jones (March 14, 1933 – November 3, 2024) was a legendary music producer, songwriter, and film/TV producer.

For decades, Quincy Jones was music. From producing Thriller, to composing the score for The Color Purple, to working with Frank Sinatra to Ray Charles, it seemed like every big record – and every big film – had Quincy’s name on it. His music appealed to listeners of every race and every age. And by building a career that took him from the streets of Chicago to the heights of Hollywood, Quincy paved the way for generations of Black executives to leave their mark on the entertainment business. Michelle and I send our thoughts to Quincy’s friends, family, and everyone who has lived their lives to his songs.

Liz Cheney on The View: "History is gonna look back at all of this and the people that have gone along, the people who have supported what he's saying every day and what they know he will do, they will have to explain that to themselves and their kids and grandkids."
