Presidents do not have to be saints, and we hope that a second term for Donald Trump would avoid disaster. But he poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world. If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Kamala Harris econ.st/3NKsH2r

Gov. Walz and @AOC react to this clip: “When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that's what they think about you. It's what they think about anyone who makes less money than them… I want every Puerto Rican in Philadelphia and Reading and across the country to see this clip”

Trump rally speaker: “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”

If you're struggling with the loss of a loved one, you might want to watch this, and then make a video or a bit of writing like it. It might help you to lay it all down as I did here:

I met a woman, prob in her 80s, today, and admired her outfit. A very elegant, patterned jumpsuit. She thanked me and filled up. "My husband just told me I look old in it, so that means a lot." She left smiling. So top tip. Always tell someone when you think they look gorgeous.

"'The country is lost': Fear and uncertainty in Lebanon as Israel invades...One million people have already been displaced."
It's a terrifying world with #NetanyahuWarCriminal invading wherever he chooses.
Thanks @hugobachega for excellent reporting

.@OrlaGuerin reports there are already 1000 dead in Lebanon. It took a month to get to that number of casualties in the 2006 war.

If you're planning a romantic break away, don't take the extraordinary #StrangeSallyDiamond @lizzienugent with you. Your loved one will be neglected, because you won't be able to put it down. A perfect package of crime (not usually my thing), trauma and superb storytelling.

Netanyahu seems prepared to destroy anything and anyone to preserve his political career and avoid prosecution. He does not act in Israel's interests, only in his own.

Today, with colleagues, I introduced legislation to block arms sales to Israel.
Sending more weapons to Netanyahu's extremist government is immoral & illegal: U.S. weapons are responsible for far too many civilian casualties in Gaza.
We must end our complicity in this atrocity.
