Time to go. I’ve had some nice professional interactions on this site for work, but… if you miss the occasional travel picture, you can find me on Instagram with the same handle. I’ll be on Threads occasionally.

Final thoughts: Ignore the polls. Turn people out. Keep pushing. Vote early. Talk to your friends and family to vote. Keep fighting until the clock hits zero. If we do the work it will be over election night. Donald Trump is running to stay of jail. We are fighting for our future. I like our odds. Just my two cents over a drink and pizza. Now…get to work. We aren’t done yet.

Billionaires who only know Pa. from flying over in corporate jets are spending tens of millions in PAC $$ to impose the GOP's Dave McCormick as our senator They want low taxes, no regs, friendly judges. Why do their ads say something else? My new column🎁share.inquirer.com/Zvu7rf

Seriously? Russia, an authoritarian nuclear power, launched a war to seize territory from Ukraine, which is a sovereign nation and a US ally. They are the bad guy here.
JD Vance criticizes “American leaders” who pick a side in the war in Ukraine: “Unfortunately, you got a lot of American leaders who like to beat their chest and say; this [Ukraine] is the good guy and this [Russia] is the bad guy.”

2/Both claimed to be removing non-citizens, or is Trump would put it "illegal aliens" from the rules. In fact, they were removing American citizens. Make sure you check your registration & document it with a screen shot today. You cannot legally be removed at this point

A great thread about the rally in Butler. I’m glad other people report on these so I don’t have to experience them myself.

Trump says Kamala Harris is farther to the left of Bernie Sanders and you have NO IDEA how much I wish that were true

5. Trump’s promise of mass deportations would cause major civil rights violations. The policy would effectively result in local law enforcement engaging in a mass racial profiling campaign, as there is no objective way to identify undocumented immigrants.

A great thread about a recent comment.
"The whole point of the post-menopausal female." It was an off-handed comment, I suppose. It was said in an off-handed way. It was made by Peter Thiel VC guy and podcaster Eric Weinstein, and agreed to by Theil VP guy and flopsweat enthusiast JD Vance, and it reveals a lot.🧵

They're the people we need. They're the people we need to listen to. They're the people we need to empower.

Scary thread of the day. I’d say this is unrelated to politics, but climate change is certainly not independent of politics.
First it was the strange hue of the trees now it’s a real life nightmare. This is very hard to take, it must be shared because none of us can escape this. A catastrophe like we’ve never known is unfolding & exploding at an incredible rate. 🧵 #tasmania
