@JoyAnnReid Love you, Joy! Smart and beautiful. But please don’t make the mistake in calling Republicans’ accusations of the Dems as rigging the election as “paranoia.” It’s the opposite: a deliberate attempt to mask their own rigging and to set the stage for mob violence among their ranks.

@NC5PhilWilliams My God, he’s insane. (But, of course, we knew that.)

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

@jennineak Love this.

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

At least New York has an adult at the helm. Can’t say the same for our federal government. Thank you, @NYGovCuomo, for your leadership on this important issue. As you say, the biggest threat is uncertainty and the fear that stems from it.

After days of advocating the federal gov't to expand #Coronavirus testing capacity, we just received word that Northwell Laboratories has been authorized to test.

Manual testing of 75-80 samples/day will begin at Northwell immediately.

That might be the dumbest, most reckless decision Trump has ever made – in three years of presiding over the worst presidency in history, known for thousands of corrupt and stupid moves.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Mike Pence literally does not believe in science.

It is utterly irresponsible to put him in charge of US coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic.

This decision could cost people their lives. Pence’s past decisions already have.

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

Hallelujah that. CBS did a miserable job moderating that debate and harmed the Democrats in the process. A veritable dumpster fire.

When the candidates start talking over each other, the moderators should:
1) Bring the whole thing to a dead halt
2) Give them an order in which to speak ("you, then you senator, then you Mr. Mayor," etc.)
Not complicated. You have to keep control.

Congratulations, Bobby!

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Huge win!

@NYGovCuomo Go, Gov! This is a major program to combat climate and protect our water that will benefit New Yorkers across the state.

DNC Mulls Asking Donald Trump To Run As Democrat In Effort To Stop Sanders https://t.co/DKY03d4ttG

Naming @realDonaldTrump the worst enviro prez in history is like calling Beethoven one of the great composers. Naming it somehow undercuts the point. He’s the worst POTUS in history in every category, incl. some that didn’t previously exist, like attacking our very democracy.

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

Wake the fuck up is right...Jesus, these are frightening images.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Wake the fuck up America!

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

@RobertKennedyJr Well done, Bobby!

The ultimate outrage: Big oil asks government to protect its Texas facilities from climate change - CBS News https://t.co/9wUtTeEHJo

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

Amen.

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

@AOC “Innocent” kids no less. But AOC, you failed to give him credit for his many other accomplishments: gutting our environmental laws; issuing illegal bans against Muslims; appointing right-wing partisans to SCOTUS, & demeaning the office of POTUS on a daily basis. He’s a real doer!

@Guinz I always assumed Klobuchar was just nervous about being a petulant Midwesterner who has no vision, plans or charisma but is frustrated by her lack of traction given she’s the “only one who’s won in red districts” 😴

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

@Guinz Hello? Amy K has shaken like that in every debate and even often when she’s being interviewed. Kind of hard to believe that someone’s placing an air vent over her in every appearance. 🤦‍♂️(Or maybe my old friend @Guinz is just being funny...she is that.)

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

WTF is right @AmbassadorRice! This woman and her lifeless little girl break my heart. Trump, and his apologists and defenders in Congress and across the land, are a disgrace. It's beyond time to remove our illegitimate, crazy-assed dictator-in-chief from office.

[Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice]

WTF?? This blood is on Trump’s hands alone but the shame is shared by all decent Americans.

[Alex Matthiessen @AlexMatthiessen]

Go @C40 / #C40!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Federal govs are failing to act on the climate crisis.

We can’t wait for others to lead.

That’s why I’m in Copenhagen w/ C40 mayors, trade unions, youth climate strikers, business & citizen reps from around the world to rally for a Global #GreenNewDeal. https://t.co/uJjcrkjbTH

Fixed it for you:
Congestion pricing, according to this poll, is VERY popular with black, Latino and young voters, voters who live in NYC and those making less than $50K per year, STILL popular BUT LESS SO among white people, suburbanites and those making over $100k
