@joegoldman Joe, I have expressed my views to No Labels in the strongest possible terms, and I have reason to believe that this unforced error will not be repeated. At this time of national peril, we must avoid the pitfalls of false equivalence. My statement: https://t.co/JuH0YY5rnJ

On its current course, @January6thCmte is on track to issue a report which, whatever its merits, may well be rejected by half the electorate. Its leaders must do whatever they can to prevent this outcome, which would not help strengthen our democracy in this moment of peril. /end

Donald Trump's decision to replace his campaign manager less than four months before the election is an indication that his reelection campaign is in a crisis so pervasive that it threatens to take down not only his presidency but his entire party.

"If schools don’t reopen this fall, students will suffer, parents will face difficult choices, and the economic recovery will be hobbled. But if schools are reopened hastily, without adequate preparation, the public-health consequences will be dire."

"On the July 4 weekend, President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden offered dueling accounts of the demonstrations sparked by the killing of George Floyd, adding a new chapter to the never-ending debate about the right way to tell America’s story."

A Pew Research Center survey released at the end of June suggests that within President Trump's white working-class base, support is eroding among voters under age 40. This is a major blow to his reelection chances.
