Efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill have resumed, the White House says. The Treasury Department under President Obama selected the 19th century abolitionist leader to replace Andrew Jackson, but the effort stalled during the Trump administration. https://t.co/bdqOhMawLG

Twitter is enlisting its users to help combat misinformation on its service by flagging misleading and false tweets. The pilot program is called Birdwatch. https://t.co/NcMl1vQmeR

I agree with Europe: Wearing medical-grade masks will be important to slow the spread of the B.1.1.7 strain. We have consistent evidence that single-layer cloth masks are not as effective as surgical masks, and N95 or KN95 masks are even better. https://t.co/LtwxVVdETz

Women's qualifications are less likely to be mentioned by men.

Study of 300+ intros of MD/PhD presenters:

Men introduced 72% of men as Dr. but only 49% of women as Dr.
Women introduced speakers as Dr. regardless of gender.

Respecting women shouldn't be this hard. #DrJillBiden

This is just too easily fact checked. Nixon won Florida and Ohio in 1960 and lost.

Three main reasons why some "supposedly" sane people support Trump unconditionally:
1) Anti Abortion
2) Anti LGBTQ
3) Anti Immigration

These are so STRONG that if the devil presents himself as anti those 3, they'll proudly vote for him.

An impeached president should not pick our next Supreme Court Justice.

Pass it on.

I don't find Trump's approval ratings for his handling of coronavirus to be very interesting. It is a crisis, people may have an initial instinct to rally together. But there are going to be a lot of negative consequences for many months, almost all of which aren't realized yet.

I lost my Dad this morning to COVID-19. He was my rock, my best friend, and my hero. He had virtually no symptoms and 48 hours later he was fighting for his life. I’m begging you guys from the bottom of my heart, please stay inside and be safe.

Whether it’s military aid or ventilators, a foreign ally or an American governor,

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

You cannot count on Donald Trump to do what’s right for this country.

You can count on him to do what’s right for Donald Trump.
