More than 70 science and climate journalists challenge Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett

 

No one is working harder than House Democrats to get immediate and retroactive help to the American people. We are fighting for money in the pockets of working families, for rent and food assistance, and for a strategic plan to #CrushTheVirus and save lives.

 

They’re admitting it - they aren’t even trying. Trump wants people to believe letting a deadly virus rage unchecked is the best America can do.

 

The fact is Secretary Betsy DeVos and President Trump don't care about our students or our teachers. You deserve better.

 

Huge crowds chant 'Strike! Strike!' The nation has responded to the People's Ultimatum and its voice is ringing out loud and clear.

MEADOWS: We're not going to control the pandemic TAPPER: Why not? M: Because it's a contagious virus T: Why not make efforts to contain it? M: What we need to do is make sure we have the proper mitigation factors to make sure people don't die

 

Be like @BarackObama. Vote early

 

Trump's relentless lying was supposed to "work" by getting voters to give up on the very possibility of truth. But in the end, it created clarity. The story has become that only one candidate lies all the time about everything, and the other doesn't

 

Staffers for GOP Sen Kelly Loeffler test positive for COVID-19

 

This is absolutely the worst lie a world leader can spread during a pandemic

 

It's almost as if Donald would prefer higher numbers of coronavirus cases than voter turnout. He's doing everything he can to boost the former and suppress the latter.

 

The last footnote: Jared & Ivanka’s reputations as WH advisors are so bad that they are “libel-proof.” In other words, like mobster “Boobie” Cerasani, who a court denied relief to over the movie Donnie Brasco, their reputations are so bad, they can’t be damaged any further.

 

My brother in law died of COVID. My sister is a young widow. She was hit with a $1,000,000 medical bill for his weeks in the ICU before his death. Fuck you, Donald Trump! @potus. You fucking monster!!!

Many are drawing similarities between protests in Hong Kong and Thailand. Here's a difference: many, many Thai police officers are on the side of the protesters, back their demands, and do not want to crackdown on their movement

 

What We Learned From Ghislaine Maxwell’s Unsealed Deposition

 

The scandal is not anything that Joe Biden did. It is that Trump is running what may be the sleaziest presidential campaign since the notorious election of 1800--or possibly ever

 

#BREAKING: @VP Mike Pence, the “head” of the White House coronavirus task force could not keep the President or his OWN staff safe from getting #COVID19. If they can’t protect themselves how can they protect us?

 

Mary Trump: Psychiatrists know what’s wrong with my uncle. Let them tell voters. “Not only were (APA) members prohibited from diagnosing public figures, now they couldn’t offer a professional opinion...no matter how well supported or evidence-based...”

 

DISGUSTING—Trump tells his MAGA audience that frontline healthcare workers are claiming false #COVID19 diagnoses to profit from it. This is beyond pale. It’s a well known right wing conspiracy theory. PUSH back—1600-1700 HCW have died.

What Americans should learn from Belarus

 

Venezuelan opposition figure Leopoldo López flees to Colombia

 

OMG. The Trump campaign’s communications director claims that the reason some migrant families separated at the US border have not been reunited, is because the parents of 545 missing children do not want their children back. This is KIDNAPPING

 

One of Trump's final acts of chaos: terrorizing Federal government civil servants, firing them and punishing whistleblowers. PRISON. FOR ANYONE CONNECTED.

 

My opponent pulled a gun on his first wife & fired it, pressured her and a mistress into three abortions, & illegally prescribed pills to a patient he was sleeping with. Me? I didn't do any of that. I'll give you health care though. Chip in right away.

 

There is no single person, not even Trump, who has done as much damage to our republic as Mitch McPurplehands. I have zero sympathy for him. I’m too busy feeling for all the Americans he’s hurt with his abuse of power.

 

GOP Senator, thy name is hypocrite.

Dear @realDonaldTrump: My brother is a doctor. He gets no extra money if a patient dies of #COVID19. He is saddened that you are now accusing frontline health workers of lying. Over 230,000 Americans died from COVID19 in less than 8 months under your watch. That is your legacy.

 

FUCK THE KUSHNERS. Every last one of them, including Josh - who profits alongside his brother. Fuck them and all their enablers. For eternity. Vile family. Vile.

 

@JasonMillerinDC: - Doesn't pay child support. - Has admittedly hired prostitutes. - Was accused of drugging a stripper with an abortion pill. So, of course he works for Donald Trump.

To be clear, CDC guidelines for *anyone* exposed to a confirmed #COVID19 person is 14 days of quarantine, essential or not. Unless Pence is making Air Force Two his quarantine location and not leaving it, there *is* no "maintain his schedule in accordance w/ CDC guidelines".

 

Murkowski reverses course, will vote to confirm Barrett to Supreme Court The Republican senator from Alaska had initially opposed confirming a new justice to the Supreme Court so close to a presidential election.

 

Republicans have claimed that Democrats will expand the U.S. Supreme Court if they win the presidency and control of Congress. But some Republican governors and legislatures have done just that in the past with state supreme courts.
