A #Trump field director was fired — just days ago — for being a white nationalist.

Luke Meyer was Trump's regional field director for western #Pennsylvania.

Online, he was the white nationalist Alberto Barbarossa and a co-host of Richard Spencer's podcast. Spencer organized the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville in 2017. politico.com/news/magazine/202…

News: the infamous Willard "war room" is being revived & reorganized ahead of tonight's election results.

Steve #Bannon tells CBSNews he will be at the Willard, where he was on Jan. 5, 2021.

"Unlike in 2020, we will secure #Trump's victory this time," Bannon says.


Via Dan Alexander:

#Trump has billions of dollars at stake in today’s election, thanks to his interest in the publicly traded Trump Media and Technology Group, his money-losing, meme-stock-trading business. Shares are up 14% this morning, adding about $500 million to his fortune so far.


ICYMI:

#Maddow looks at the role #Musk is playing in #Trump's campaign, as well as the important role he plays in US nat sec matters & his unnervingly close relationship w #Putin & other US adversaries. If #Harris wins the presidency, Musk's allegiances will be a tricky national security mess to clean up. But if #Trump wins, the entire global power balance could shift as Musk asserts his influence on Trump to partner more closely with #Russia, #China, and #NorthKorea.

Headline from Forbes today, via the hellsite:

New: Donald #Trump took a secret loan shortly after his last presidential victory.


Lawrence O'Donnell:
“So yes of course before people go to sleep on election night, he's going to go out there and claim victory, we know it. Now, it's going to be... way less threatening than it was before... because you're watching this old ghost go through this same old stupid move again, and everybody knows it was a stupid false move the last time, it will look even stupider this time…”

Please call a friend and ask if they've voted, and if not if they want to go do it with you.

Go hang out and celebrate democracy after, while you still have a semblance of it.

Friends don't let friends just sit at home while the clock is ticking. Pick up the phone.

A pro-#Trump influencer says a Russian agent paid him $100 to post a fake voter fraud video. It wasn’t the first time

Via The Democrats comms:

👀 CNN on yet another #Trump rally with low turnout: There are a lot of empty seats left in the arena. Trump has built his brand on turning out large rallies, but today in North Carolina AND Pennsylvania they have been noticeably empty.


This is quite something! Trump's discount Goebbels, Stephen Miller, is the most vile xenophobe in America #Nazi

His own former rabbi spoke out against him and #Trump in his High Holy Days sermon while Trump was in office

And just endorsed #Harris because she embodies the #Jewish values of lovingkindness and respect for law tempered by kindness #Election2024 #uspol

ICYMI: Jon Ralston, based on the early vote, predicts #Harris will win #Nevada narrowly—will depend on late mail ballots in Clark County and for independents to lean Harris.

The race is extremely volatile though, so it would not be a shock if she did not win.

Via Reuters: Lawyers for Elon #Musk admitted in court today that the winners of his $1 million-a-day #Trump giveaway to registered voters are not selected at random like a lottery but instead chosen based on who would be good spokespeople for his agenda.


I'm not a prognosticator. Anything but….

The previews of what will happen in tomorrow's US elections leave me cold. As a result, I feel there's little I'm inclined to share here today, from the many pieces I've read this morning.

I do note that both Heather Cox Richardson and Robert Reich point us towards our history for hope that we can overcome the current tide of fascism:

“Congressional candidate in #Texas has been actively campaigning at events in churches that feature her campaign banners, potentially in violation of federal regs that prohibit “political campaign intervention”, as condition of tax exemptions for non-profit religious orgs.

Via Ammar Moussa:

Yikes. This is not how you want to close a campaign.

Michael Gold:

#Trump is kicking off Monday morning with a rally at an arena in Raleigh

It’s far from a full house, and no line outside.


💪🏼
Via Rupar:

Kamala #Harris on how her campaign will respond if #Trump declares premature early: "I would ask in particular people who have not yet voted to not fall for his tactic, which I think includes suggesting to people that if they vote their vote won't matter ... it is meant to distract from the fact that we have and support free and fair elections in our country. We did in 2020. He lost."


Seriously?🤦🏻‍♀️

#Walz: You know how on your phone you have a lock screen? You got your kids, your grandkids, you got your car. Donald's got a picture of himself on his phone. True story. Can we agree that's weird behavior? #Trump


Via Ammar Moussa:

#Harris Director of Rapid Response Ammar Moussa:

As VP Harris spent today at church in Detroit, talking to voters about her vision to lift up all Americans, #Trump was busy violating the Ninth Commandment. Trump is spending the closing days of his campaign angry and unhinged, lying about the election being stolen because he's worried he will lose. The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth and will walk into the Oval Office focused on them – that's VP Harris


👠💪🏼

NYT— “Thousands of women gathered on Saturday at the Women’s March in Washington and across the country with the hope that Kamala #Harris would triumph at the polls, nearly eight years after the first march demonstrated a furious backlash to the election of Donald #Trump.”


✔️
Obama: "In talking to people I've realized that one of the reasons people think Donald #Trump will improve the economy is because they watched The Apprentice ... I want everybody to be clear. That was not reality. That was a reality show."


Via Ammar Moussa:

This is remarkable.

One week out from Donald #Trump’s MSG rally and we have real data from Univision.

69% found the comments “more racist than humorous.”

-We’re running Latino voters 64%-30% (!)


#Trump says there are no empty seats then the camera person goes rogue and pans the crowd showing 100`s of empty seats
.
I hope the camera person was paid in advance!

Via Kyle Griffin;

New reporting on MSNBC:

A #Trump campaign aide says there has a noticeable vibe shift on Trump's campaign plane in the last couple of weeks.

It hasn't been the usual Trump show where he holds court. He and his team are subdued and now spending time instead talking business.

Via Rupar:

"I shouldn't have left" -- #Trump now says he shouldn't have left office on January 20, 2021


Via Katie Phang:

Just #Trump casually approving the violent deaths of members of the media…while his supporters laugh.

Trump: "To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don't mind that so much. I don't mind that."


@GottaLaff
@TonyStark

Normally I don't watch TV however, I was helping an elderly neighbour by adjusting their digital clocks and he had his tv turned on.
Trump commercials were playing and it blew me away the absolute BS his campaign was producing.
I turned to the gentleman and said,
"I hope you don't believe this propaganda!"

He looked at me and replied:
"I wish Trump was dying in prison and that's too good for him"

I walked away thinking if this 90+ year old man can figure it out, then there is hope for the US .

Go out and vote and bring your senior neighbours.

The New York Times today with a full page fold out editorial that calls on Americans to ‘Vote to End the #Trump Era.’

Oh.

So not only did Donald #Trump ship American jobs overseas as President, he's doing it at his own company.

BREAKING: Elon says the FAA should release all its information about where his jet flies, and Walter Reed should release the #Trump health information he refuses to release.

There should be no need for FOIA requests. All government data should be default public for maximum transparency

@Piousunyn I think Williams is the 27th woman to come forward. Wikipedia lists 26 women who accused #Trump, with a note that updates are needed as of October 2024. I believe 27 women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct is disqualifying. But that's just me.


In all my working life as a speech writer I've never seen anyone step up to a podium and simulate oral sex with the microphone. I believe, had it happened, that it would have been notable and there would be consequences. The media is #complicit. #Trump


The Guardian is now running the story of over 100 hours of tape that show #Trump's close ties to #Epstein. This is based on info from author Michael Wolff, who has been offering the story to American media for weeks--with no takers. The media is #complicit.
