Conley says Trump "may not entirely be out of the woods yet"

 

Conley: Trump is mostly “back to his old self,” while saying he’s still being treated with a steroid and “routine regimen of covid therapy.” Won’t say when his last negative test was. Asked if Trump should have went to NJ fundraiser last week: “It’s not up to me necessarily.”

 

Conley says he’s not at liberty to discuss what was in the lung scans

 

Virus caused drops in oxygen levels for @realDonaldTrump; trouble breathing; hospitalization & possible lung damage. @POTUS was also given oxygen treatment; an expensive experimental drug; an expensive new drug & a strong steroid. Americans should absolutely be afraid of Covid

Just a reminder that overturning #Obergefell (gay marriage) is in the Republican Party’s official platform. Alito and Thomas just signaled their wishes to overturn it and we already know where Barrett stands on the issue. Please vote.

 

So much for precedent and judicial restraint. Two justices now openly call for an end to marriage equality—knowing reinforcements are on the way. The stakes could not be higher.

Putin and Lukashenko are guilty of many things but their biggest error is miscalculating the determination of the protests against them. They still believe that they've got more patience than the people on the streets, and that the winter will save them. Wrongly.
