SIGN ME THE HELL UP.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

People have memory-holed this, but as the election approached and GOP senators thought Trump would lose they started to float the idea of just blocking the nominee...forever. And not just Ted Cruz. There were a number who said it.

@AlecMacGillis @DevlinBarrett The nation’s reporters and editors decided it was important and screwed over the entire country. Take the blame you all deserve.

Can’t trust any vaccines now that aren’t also approved by truly independent governments or other bodies. This is insane.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

OH CHRIST—Trump HHS just did full “power grab” takeover of all drug/vaccines. Via “stunning declaration” of authority, HHS Secretary Azar barred FDA from signing any new rules—power now “is reserved to the Secretary.” Trump now controls all of it. #COVID19 https://t.co/MZcOBN4TGr

[Ben K. @benyankee]

It always has.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Nobody’s word means anything in this place anymore. All that matters is raw power.

Got it. New rules.

It always warmed my heart that RBG and Scalia were friends. I hope she is up in heaven wondering where he is

[Ben K. @benyankee]

This is the laziest design.

These guys just showed up in the park with Shake Shack and Fisher thinks it’s for him. 😂

[Ben K. @benyankee]

Why haven’t other Dem elders called for Trump to resign as Biden did? Why aren’t more drawing this line from Maria to the pandemic? It’s all right there.

[Ben K. @benyankee]

Say what you will about Biden but his moral clarity on Trump and Trump’s failure is clearer than nearly every other Dem of his generation has managed.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Biden on the anniversary of Hurricane Maria: "While families and communities banded together, Donald Trump lied about relief, blocked aid, and mocked survivors. He blamed the island for its loss. The way Donald Trump botched Maria was a terrible precursor to COVID-19."

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

What will you do if the illegitimately Republican court corruptly steals an election for a Republican who actually lost, for the second time in 20 years.

[Ben K. @benyankee]

We’re trying to sell a pair of these and wouldn’t mind a little cash. But if you’re willing to pick them up, you can just have them for free at this point. https://t.co/3wv82mk6O7

Has Dusty Baker ever heard of wash and fold?

[Brian McTaggart @brianmctaggart]

The Astros hit the road after today's game and will be gone from Houston the rest of the season.

In fact, they could play on the road for the next month if they keep advancing. Which brings us to challenges of packing from Dusty Baker:

"Who has 30-pair of underwear?"

[Ben K. @benyankee]

@VA_GOP Suppressing the vote to own the libs. Hope you get struck my lightning.

[Ben K. @benyankee]

Looking at my bookcase this morning and I just realized my collection will be broken. I don’t think the team released a yearbook this season.

[Ben K. @benyankee]

@joshtpm @sarahmseltzer The Dems are suggesting using the democratic process to create more democracy for unrepresented Americans, and this trash is Axios’ reaction while Trump constantly just breaks the law.

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

Another example that elite DC journalism continues to be wired for the GOP. The most flagrant lawlessness and rule-breaking is **expected** from the GOP. Another suggested by Democrats is "total war".

Did @dpletka have no idea who Chotiner was when she agreed to this interview? He raked her over the coals. It’s incredible really.

[Isaac Chotiner @IChotiner]

New Interview: I talked to AEI’s Danielle Pletka about her controversial op-ed, her fears about Joe Biden, whether Trump represents the GOP, and her work for Jesse Helms. https://t.co/SKXOtGFj7I

[Ben K. @benyankee]

@jbouie Not only not a serious person but based on her answers, an actual idiot.
