#Harris campaign just announced the launch of #Wisconsin Republicans for Harris ahead of her visit to the state with Liz Cheney.
The group is led by more than 20 Republicans from across the state. In an open letter, the group writes: "Donald #Trump does not align with Wisconsin values. To ensure our democracy and our economy remain strong for another four years, we must elect Kamala Harris and Tim #Walz to the White House."
No, #Biden didn't take FEMA relief money to use on migrants — but #Trump did.
"Even though Trump was once president, he still appears to have little clue about the appropriations process. What's even richer is that when he was president, he did exactly what he claims Biden did — take money from FEMA’s disaster fund to fund migrant programs at the southern border." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/04/no-biden-didnt-take-fema-relief-money-use-migrants-trump-did/

People who actually believe that Donald #Trump is a smart guy who gives a fuck about anyone other than himself and his spawn are the easiest marks on the planet.

As Noah Berlatsky reports, Green Party voters have long pretended that they really believe their candidate can win. Now they're saying the quiet part out loud: They actually want to HELP Donald Trump and defeat Kamala Harris.
One of their key leaders just said this out loud in Michigan with Jill Stein on the stage.

Ret. U.S. Navy Admiral Steve Abbot: #Trump lost the respect of veterans — including me. He's a risk to our democracy.
"For the sake of our nation's safety and stability, I urge my fellow veterans not to vote for Donald Trump. He is unfit to return to the presidency.

'#60Minutes' calls out #Trump for bailing on his interview last-minute:
Scott Pelley: "A week ago, Trump backed out. The campaign offered shifting explanations. First, it complained that we would fact check the interview. We fact check every story. Later, Trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020. Trump claims correspondent Leslie Stahl said in that interview that Hunter Biden's controversial laptop came from Russia. She never said that." 1/2

Go #Harris! Call #Trump out for the fraudulent coward he is
Harris: "I released my med records. As has, I believe, every candidate…except Trump in this election cycle. & it's just further ex of his lack of transparency— that on top of his unwillingness to debate again, his unwillingness to do an interview w '60 Min', which again, is part of norm of what anyone running for president of the US does. & I think that it's obv that his team, at least, does not want the Amer people to see everything"

Breaking: #Trump just refused to answer whether he has spoken to #Putin since leaving the White House.
Q: "Can you say yes or no whether you have talked to Vladimir Putin since you stopped being president?"
Trump: "Well, I don't comment on that. I will tell you that if I did, it's a smart thing."
