How come @BetoORourke and @AOC work to raise money for struggling Texans, many of whom didn't vote for Beto and think AOC is a she-witch, doesn't count as a UNITY story?

How come the media isn't spinning it that way? How come "unity" can only mean "giving the GOP what it wants"?

Trump might have one last outrageous insult to the military up his sleeve. “more than 252,000 of the military’s 1.3 million active duty forces voted through an absentee ballot in 2016.” https://t.co/NWacNqAKhC

This morning, it was fact that Trump would do well on election night and Biden would win when votes were counted.

This evening, those facts still hold but none of the pundits are talking about it and Democrats are already black out drunk/throwing up chardonnay/craft cocktails.

@stephenWalt Navarro actually had some pretty good calculations on the potential damage of the virus, which he circulated among the WH big wigs.

But he threw himself under the bus -essentially claiming that the WH was right to ignore his warnings- to protect his boss.

@StrongTowns For example:
Ginza
Shibuya
Harajuku
Akihabara

Others are primarily associated with play and entertainment:
Ikebukuro
Asakusa
Roppongi
Odaiba

Only a handful are associated with office-space:
Marunouchi
Shinjuku
Shinagawa
Osaki
Shiodome

@StrongTowns What happens "if our central cities become less of a central hub"?

The built-in assumption is that office-space and office-workers define a city's hub.

But in Tokyo, most hubs are defined by [outdoor] window shopping.

That might be a good model to consider.

Keep in mind that AFTER being briefed on this intelligence, Trump once again pushed to have Russia readmitted into the G8. https://t.co/C8T1fUYWSg

NYPD is 29% Latino, 9% Asian 15% Black, 18% women. But everybody here is a white man. That's interesting

I also saw police slash tires. They did some in the parking lot of the former Sheraton hotel that is serving as a refuge for people experiencing homelessness. Rolled up fast for no reason and then destroyed. Just insane https://t.co/vK1AzRkNP0

I’ve worked for GOP candidates since I was 17, but this year it must be Country First. Proud to be joining ⁦@RVAT2020⁩ — Republican Voters Against Trump as a strategic advisor.

Here’s a TV spot we just whipped up. Releasing today. See you in MI, AZ, FL, PA, NC and more.

"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us." —General James Mattis

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

I love the idea that cities don't know how to cut the police budget, like they've never cut a city service's budget to the bone before.

Fun Fact: On this day in 1927, Trump's father Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK rally.

you absolutely need to watch this with sound. it doesn't seem possible that you do, but you absolutely do.

[Greg Brewer @revgregbrewer]

As a bishop in the Episcopal Church, and an American citizen, I am shaken watching protestors in Lafayette Park gassed and cleared so that the President of the United States can do a photo op in front of St. John's Episcopal Church holding a Bible.This is blasphemy in real time.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Every major network carried Trump live but none carried either of Biden’s two events today where he addressed police brutality. Total journalistic malpractice & repeat of 2016

[Ice Cube @icecube]

Seems like a lot of our mayors around the country are intimidated by their own police forces. But why? Who really runs our cities?

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

These mayors know they’re terrified of their own police. These press conferences may as well be hostage videos.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

I don’t pretend to understand what it’s like to run a news org. But most of tonight’s coverage — across most stations — is focused on violence. Yet thousands in each city are marching peacefully for #GeorgeFloyd. Why not interview the peaceful protestors? They should be heard.
