" #DonaldTrump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.

...These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of #American #democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.

We have two words for American voters: Believe him."

The report raises national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the #US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.

Vladimir Putin desperately needs Donald Trump to win the election.

Trump is easily pliable with a compliment, admires Putin as his hero, and will hand Putin the keys to Ukraine the day he is sworn into office.

So, how does Putin help Trump?

A POINT TO PONDER...

Does Donald Trump use burner phones when he maintains contact with Vladimir Putin or is he vain enough that he doesn't care?

Trump is known for staying in contact and asking for advice and directions from Vladimir Putin, the world's most vile murderer and despot.

Putin is responsible for the deaths of more than 1,000,000 Russians and Ukrainians.

A wide variety of American Christians from different denominations are speaking out against Christian nationalism, a once-fringe movement steadily gaining political power in the U.S.

Why it matters: The pushback comes as critics worry rising Christian nationalism is threatening the nation's multiracial democracy and as a record number of Americans identify as "religiously unaffiliated."

Lately I've been thinking about how the #Republican party has evolved over the last decade or so as viewed through the lens of the games that major voices in the party play.

Previous generations of #GOP speakers were proudly golfers, but lately major voices are football fans. You can hear them make that shift from talking about golf to talking about football.

Well, over the years Republicans have made this marked shift from looking to work together and build consensus to just looking to fight their opponents. And it strikes me that that's also a difference between golf and football.

The new generation of conservative speakers don't understand the realities of political systems where they have to work with others, convince others, to get things done. It's as if they are projecting philosophies from football on to their politics in ways that didn't happen previously.

And that's a shame for us all. That's how you get #Trump... and #Harris.
