It’s been a commander-in-chief election all along - and Harris knows it
(Interview) Ambassador Cindy Courville | The 19th News Network
“You have to have that fundamental faith and belief in yourself that you are protecting ideals bigger than you and dealing with people in spite of what they see.”
If You’re Progressive or Muslim, Don’t Waste Your Vote on Jill Stein
(OpEd) Naveed Shah | U.S. News and World Report
Here’s the hard truth: the implications of voting for a third-party candidate are the same as voting for Trump. As a veteran, a Muslim American and a proud progressive, I’m voting for Kamala Harris, because any other choice would be devastating for instability at home and abroad.
This election is about character, not party loyalty
(OpEd) Rear Admiral Fred Byus, Sr. | The Cap Times
As a military veteran, I trust Vice President Harris' integrity and commitment to America’s security. I trust her character. She has vowed to keep America’s fighting force the strongest in the world while ensuring veterans and their families receive the care they’ve earned. She has the good character we need to trust each other, to trust the facts and to regain our unity of purpose.
The Real Donald Trump Problem: Cognitive Decline?
(OpEd) Stephen N. Xenakis, Mitchell L. Cohen, Michael Baker | The National Interest
As physicians, we are deeply concerned that Donald Trump, showing potential signs of cognitive decline, may not be able to perform the duties of the presidency for a full term. We believe he should release his medical records, as Vice President Harris has done, to provide transparency about his health. The presidency demands a leader who is mentally sharp, physically fit, and open about their health status. To date, Donald Trump has not demonstrated these qualities.
Here’s the deal
(OpEd) Brigadier General Edward G. Burley, USA, (Ret.) | The Philadelphia Inquirer
Trump’s tendency to claim victories where none exist reflects a broader pattern of deceit that has characterized his public life. His falsehoods, whether about the outcomes of his negotiations or the state of the nation, are part of a strategy to rewrite reality in his favor. This pattern of self-serving deception is not just a quirk of his personality, it is a fundamental threat to the integrity of the office he once held, and the nation he led.
Why I’m voting and you should, too
(OpEd) Assistant VA Secretary Kayla M. Williams | The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Elections aren’t like hopping on your smartphone and ordering an Uber or a Lyft to whatever destination you choose. They’re like going to a subway station and deciding which train to get on: You can only go one way or the other, so pick which one is best (or least bad) for you.
What I learned as Trump’s ambassador to Ukraine
(OpEd) Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch | The Patriot-News
In this increasingly dangerous world, if we don’t stand up for our values and our interests in today’s interconnected environment, our adversaries will fill the void and undermine our economy, weaken our national security, and imperil our freedoms.
Every American president over the last 80 years has understood this, with one exception: Donald Trump.
We are national health leaders. We can’t risk a Trump presidency.
(OpEd) Edward L. Baker Jr., Philip J. Landrigan and Mark L. Rosenberg | The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As we approach Election Day, the choice could not be clearer. We need a leader who will prioritize the health and safety of all Americans, not a president who failed the nation in its time of need. The future of our country, our health and our security depends on choosing leadership we can trust. Kamala Harris is that leader.
Donald Trump's 'Surrender' to Putin Disqualifies Him from the White House
(OpEd) Michael E. Roosevelt | The National Interest
Former President Donald Trump's deference to Vladimir Putin over U.S. interests has consistently undermined America's security and global standing. From denying U.S. intelligence findings about Russian election interference during the 2018 Helsinki Summit to praising Putin's actions in Ukraine, Trump has weakened alliances like NATO and emboldened adversaries.
Kamala Harris for America’s National Security
(OpEd) Secretary William S. Cohen | The Wall Street Journal
Many prominent officials who served in Mr. Trump’s administration have declared that he poses a clear and present danger to the foundations of our democracy and that he is unfit to serve as our commander in chief. Those who know him best respect him least. They have given us fair warning.
Project 2025 Will Dismantle FEMA and Leave Us in the Dark
(OpEd) Stephen G. Sharro | Newsweek
Project 2025's plan to defund or dismantle agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the NWS would shift critical responsibilities to private companies. Instead of relying on these trusted public sources for life-saving weather alerts and other key information, Americans could be forced to pay corporations for crucial information that NWS currently provides for free.
The Real Difference Between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
(OpEd) Daniel C. Schwartz | The National Interest
Harris predicts her future as President as being one of laws: if a law is passed she supports, she will sign it. Trump speaks only in terms of his exercising an extreme level of the President’s own powers: he will seek revenge regardless of what the law says.
Our next president should put the American people first, not authoritarian regimes
(OpEd) Alexander Vershbow | The Patriot News
Trump’s actions show a willingness to undermine U.S. laws and institutions for his personal gain, while Harris represents a steady and experienced leader who will protect democratic values and stand firm against threats from dictators like Putin. On November 5, the choice is obvious: Kamala Harris. She prioritizes national security and defends our values—putting American people first, not authoritarian regimes.
Military voters see ‘direct attack’ from GOP election challenges
(Interview) Secretary Louis Caldera | The Hill
Republicans are coming under fire from veterans and military groups for attempting to restrict the votes of overseas service members through a series of lawsuits in battleground states.
Donald Trump's 'Headaches' Are Seriously Harming Our Veterans
(OpEd) Assistant VA Secretary Kayla M. Williams | Newsweek
Vice President Kamala Harris is squarely focused on the care economy and wants to build a strong, functional government. While Trump minimizes the brain injuries troops sustained while he was in office, she is working to ensure those troops and their families will be able to thrive in the decades to come.
Major General William Enyart interviewed about Trump
(Interview) Major General William Enyart | A Republic, If You Can Keep It
Former congressman William Enyart joins Mark Brewer and Jeff Timmer on this episode covering lawless election interference schemes, the NSL4A Blue Wall tour, and the danger to America and political rivals posed by reelecting Donald Trump.
Trump is Putin’s Trojan horse hiding in plain sight
(OpEd) Deputy Assistant Administrator Jonathan Katz and Deputy Assistant Secretary Joel Rubin | The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
All Americans should be concerned about the Trump-Putin relationship and its impact on our security before the November election. They deserve to know what Trump spoke about with Putin in these calls. Without that knowledge, we can only assume the worst. Americans deserve to have a president who is a patriot, someone who is honest and transparent and ready fight to ensure our security, sovereignty and independence.
Fox News Is Hiding the Threat Donald Trump Poses to America
(OpEd) Rear Admiral Michael Smith | The National Interest
In threatening a crackdown on his opponents, Trump has again proven that he cannot be trusted to lead our democracy. This apparent intention to wield the military as a tool to pursue political vendettas should concern all Americans.
Expensive and Ineffective: Trump's Approach to Border Security
(OpEd) Lieutenant General Jeffrey Buchanan | Arizona Republic
It’s time to move beyond divisive rhetoric and embrace strategies that provide real security. The wall was never the complete answer.
America’s security depends on making smart, informed choices — not on building symbolic walls, but on creating a system that works for everyone.
