#ImVotingFor the future of our democracy—for the young folks who will inherit whatever we leave them. They’ll take the baton from us and do their part to keep carrying progress forward. But it’s our time right now. And the best way to do that is to vote early for @JoeBiden. https://t.co/ST4nBVWPqM
#ImVotingFor the fundamental decency of Americans to be reflected in the Oval Office. I'm voting for competence over chaos, for unity over division. I'm voting for @JoeBiden because he can bring people together to make our country a whole lot better. https://t.co/oV9sJg8Yvj
Rumors spreading that Mikey P has the ‘rona, and will be announced soon. I’m pretty sure all the “clean” tests were lies. Which means he went to the debate yesterday infected. From LL.
Nancy Pelosi has consistently demonstrated that she’s adept at rattling Donald Trump and getting under his skin. Just by speaking the words “25th Amendment” today, Pelosi has goaded Trump into having yet another meltdown, and driving the 25th Amendment debate to the forefront for the media and the public.
First he tweeted “Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don’t call her Crazy for nothing!” Then he retweeted someone who said “I wouldn’t put it past
@SpeakerPelosi to stage a coup.” Then moments later Trump retweeted someone else who said “The 25th Amendment does not work that way, and it’s also not a “coup” to use it.” So now Trump is arguing against himself about whether it would be a coup.
Over and over, Court effectively upholds controversial Trump Administration actions–many profoundly damaging to civil rights–in emergency stay litigation, without benefit of full briefing, oral argument, or reasoned decision. So of course DOJ is going to that well once again.
I think Judith asked where she could see Pete Souza’s documentary “The Way I See It”. It will be shown commercial free on MSNBC on Friday 10/16 @ 10pm ET.

Some legal education history I didn't know — a thread.
In 1950, a significant number of law schools refused to admit Black students. That year, the AALS considered a rule that to to be an AALS member school, you had to open your doors to students of all races.
Thanks for posting this. Law school (Penn ’98) was my retirement plan; however, “life 101” raised its ugly head during my retirement physical, so plans changed…
.@CP3 and @StephenCurry30 know exactly what it means to finish strong down the stretch. We’re in the closing days of this campaign, and it’s time to finish this fight and cast our ballots.
INBOX: Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Jamie Raskin to introduce the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office Act. It will create the process called for in the 25th Amendment to enable Congress to help ensure uninterrupted exec branch leadership.
AG Barr contemplated charging BLM protestors with insurrection while he was aware of an *actual plot* to overthrow the government of Michigan by right-wing fanatics.
People must recognize the seriousness of this moment. If the plot had succeeded it could have triggered.. a lot.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is made of steel. White supremacist terrorists have just been charged with an elaborate plan to assassinate her, and she's just going on with her day and getting the work done for the people of Michigan. Truly a leader's mindset.

Young people graduating from college are wondering if they can get a job. People are worried about whether they’ll be able to make rent. This is where the American economy is right now, and it’s because of the failure of leadership of this administration.

Kamala Harris is every Black woman who had to remain calm in a work meeting when lesser qualified white men rudely spoke over them, spouting less than mediocre ideas while the person "in charge" does nothing to stop it and everyone judges *you* for "appearing" frustrated
When the people fight back against voter suppression, they will win. Today, they did. Justice is on the ballot because @DG4DA fought for the people. This is why we know she will be a great DA for #athensga. https://t.co/ZEeFltFoZC
I've been saying too! "Militia:" a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency. No way these terroristic thugs fit the description of "Militia!"

NEW: Cindy McCain will appear with @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris while they campaign in Arizona today. Long time Republican Mrs McCain has crossed party lines to endorse Biden Harris and now adds this additional event.
tRump says he’s feeling great; that he’s CURED! He’s gone as far as putting out staged videos to “prove” it, although it’s not convincing to most of us. He’s pressured his “doctor” (and I say that only because he has a degree) to say that he is okay.
If that’s the case, we should expect to see him and his strong lungs, drive and stamina on the golf course this weekend.
Uh oh. William Barr has been telling Republicans that DOJ's "review" of the origins of the Russia investigation will not be released before the election, Axios reports.
There are many reasons why we need Joe Biden to win on Nov. 3, but one of them is the chance for Chris Coons to be appointed to something.https://t.co/m498eScdzC
So happy to see a tid bit from her Indian family. Once elected, I hope that we will not only see more, but she will somehow be the catalyst for the melding of the Black/Brown coalition.
It's not just the antibody cocktail. NYT reports that remdesivir, the antiviral drug that Trump was given last week, was also developed with cells derived from fetal tissue. And some of companies racing to create COVID vaccines are also using those cells.https://t.co/VPADs2m9S9
Tune in as @RepRaskin and I discuss the introduction of the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office Act. https://t.co/JuKDQg6Hqw
Bravo to @RepRaskin and @SpeakerPelosi for announcing the 25th Amendment commission. While it may or may not apply to trump, this DOES serve to remind the American people that he's no doubt incapacitated and unfit for office at this moment and we must be ready to act.

VP Biden:
“There is a throughline from President Trump’s dog whistles and tolerance of hate, vengeance,
and lawlessness to plots such as this one.
He is giving oxygen to the bigotry and hate we see on the march in our country.
We have to stop it.
