A third of the country is holding the other two-thirds hostage. Preventing us from beating the pandemic. From reaffirming we are a Democracy. From ending the carnage from guns. From accepting there are no alternative truths or facts. We need the 2/3 to unite. Not forever. But now
HE'LL GET BACK TO YOU Back in July, Gov. Ducey said he changed his White House ringtone to "Hail to The Chief" so he wouldn't miss a call from Trump/Pence. Guess who called while Ducey was certifying Arizona's election? (7 secs in)
It is f-ing outrageous to expedite *any* approval of a #SARSCoV2 vaccine, irrespective of @SteveFDA's subservience to Trump
We will not know about safety for many months after full enrollment. Some people may have serious untoward reactions (ADE or immune complex dz) when exposed
Two Scotts, one follows the science, as articulated in this oped on herd immunity.
The other one, @SWAtlasHoover, goes against it and is the anti-science accomplice of @realDonaldTrump, endangering public health

Any shortcuts—warped speed—will imperil the ultimate roll out of the vaccine, lose the public trust for getting immunized, which is already compromised. This could jeopardize all the extraordinary progress of the vaccine programs, no less the US exit strategy to pre-covid life.
How did Japan, with the world's oldest population, do so well vs #COVID19 compared with the US?
A ~50-fold less fatality rate per capita (1,225 vs >183,000; 38% US pop)
Taking great care to protect the aged a key component

Trump's new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who instituted the recent changes that have slowed mail nationwide, is "in frequent contact with top Republican Party officials" and met with the president in the Oval Office last week. https://t.co/wIRoe7X2CJ
Tonight I’ve made a criminal referral to the New Jersey Attorney General asking him to empanel a grand jury to look at subversion of NJ election laws by donald trump, louis dejoy, and other trump officials in their accelerating arson of the post office.
Trump donor & Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, should be in the crosshairs of every relevant congressional committee, inspector general, prosecutor, investigative journalist, whistleblower, class action lawyer, editorial board, etc etc etc
The Postmaster General must resign.
He’s slowed delivery, banned overtime & decommissioned mail-sorting machines.
Right before the election. During a pandemic.
The House must demand answers. Hearings should start now. It can’t wait.
We won’t let Trump destroy the Post Office.
Has there ever been a president so utterly devoid of scruple, so naked in his ambition to steal an election?
Trump is so terrified of losing that he'll take the entire system down with him.
Our post office. Our elections. Our very democracy.
His depravity is boundless.
