Trump:
βI think Taiwan should pay us for defense,β Mr. Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek that published on Tuesday. βYou know, weβre no different than an insurance company.β
Is this getting through? #Trump wants #Taiwan to pay for the policy. Y'know, like for an insurance policy. That's very different from paying for weapons.
"Democrats should lean on and reward Black leaders who have been the most loyal and staunch supporters of the Biden-Harris ticket. The Congressional Black Caucus, minus one individual, stayed united and steadfast in promoting the Biden-Harris ticket, and now theyβre fully behind Harris. Black voters, especially Black women, are the strongest base of the Democratic Party."

Keep an eye out for lots of new Fedi accounts with no followers, posts, or profile info. I've been blocking quite a few in the past few days. Now that the #USPol narrative is up in the air, social media everywhere is an especially bright target for trolling, misinformation, and infiltration.
President Biden:
Youβre amazing, President Biden. Even in your departure, you prove presidential. Youβll always been a winner in my book!

Vice President Harris: "I am honored to have the President's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.β
βI will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party-and unite our nation-to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.β
"We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win."
"And a voter for an aspiring dictator backed by the worldβs greediest fascists and oligarchs and enabled by a stolen and broken Republican Supreme Court is a vote for your vote never to matter again."
Nope. It has to be Harris. Black voters and women are the base of this party. I was on a Biden phone bank training and it was 60% Women and 40% black volunteers. They don't hand it to Harris it's game over.
Do you like the US Supreme Court?
Reminder that you're voting for who gets the #SCOTUS seats of Thomas and Alito in this election.
That's the legacy at stake here.
I don't care who runs with Harris. I'm in . Too old, too short, too fat, too female, too gay, too white, too conservative, too liberal, too young, too from the wrong part of the country, honestly, I'm not fighting over this stuff - I'm in this to win with President Harris. To save womens reproductive freedom and democracy from the two gross guys running for MAGA.
I'm doing this to honor the achievements of the most successful legislative President in my lifetime. Joe beats FDR because FDR had Democratic Supermajorities in Both Houses, and Joe faced bare majorities or a House in control by MAGA. Joe's done won for us nobodies by sheer skill, compassion, and strategy. We'll never see anyone else as good in this century.
Congratulations to the New York Times, who not only fucked up the 2016 election by publishing the Hilary emails shit weeks before that election, the relentless op-ed bullshit for the past month will certainly put into question the chances the Dems had of winning in 2024.
But I bet you sold a lot of newspapers stoking the fires of fascism, so great job NYT!
I've been staying out of the discussion over Biden's candidacy, and I probably still will. But I wanted to express my gratitude for him defeating Trump last time, and for a term that was more productive than many, me included, expected. His deep contrast as a person and a leader to Trump was a huge relief, and I'm thankful for it.
The most important thing to me this November is that Donald Trump loses, but it would also be pretty damn cool to have a Black woman president. So let's do this.
