Conspiracy theorist and COVID disinformation spreader Scott Atlas has resigned as Trump's special coronavirus adviser.

 

In Georgia, Dems have a GOP bad-faith problem. McConnell will try to strangle all compromise, to starve Biden's presidency with austerity. How do you drive this home to voters who want divided government, on the theory that it leads to good compromises?

Trump sold cocaine out his towers & casinos for decades, laundered money for the russian mob, blackmailed his rivals & sexually assaulted women for sport and folks are like: ‘why didn’t anyone tell us about him’ it was never a secret, you just needed to look.

 

Fox News host and informal Trump adviser Sean Hannity called for President Trump to pardon himself and his family prior to exiting the White House in January

 

If you couldn’t figure out who was in an organized crime family during Trump and you’re sleuthing Biden’s podiatrist or Neera Tanden’s tweets, get out of the fucking news business.

 

The rent is due tomorrow, and @SenateMajLdr McConnell and the @SenateGOP still haven’t reinstated the $600 unemployment checks, extended unemployment programs, passed rental assistance, or anything else in months to help struggling families during this crisis. It's disgraceful.

 

My husband Siarhei Tsikhanouski has been imprisoned for half a year already. We communicate only through letters and his lawyer. He was able to call me once. Our 5-year-old daughter asks if her father is alive. And our family is just a case among 145 others in

Edison County must be where Trump has been keeping his secret healthcare plan. And his tax returns. And his dignity.
