Interesting thread

[JF Musial @jfmusial]

Last week I travelled 2500 miles by car, from NY down to Georgia then north to Michigan. 12 states. I socially distanced and took all the precautious, but had to travel for work. One thing that amazed me was how different each state was treating COVID. Thread...

Obama should address the nation since we don’t have a president.

[Fred Oakes @bmw1986]

@PeterMerola Don’t fool yourself. There is zero reason to delay the election when mail in ballots exist. Our narcissistic president is simply scared he may lose the election and needs a scapegoat. https://t.co/r04YqkaWQd

Hi again. Still wrong. Every Michigan registered voter has a right to vote by mail. I have the authority & responsibility to make sure that they know how to exercise this right - just like my GOP colleagues are doing in GA, IA, NE and WV. Also, again, my name is Jocelyn Benson.

[Jocelyn Benson @JocelynBenson]

Hi! 👋🏼 I also have a name, it’s Jocelyn Benson. And we sent applications, not ballots. Just like my GOP colleagues in Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska and West Virginia.

@CPAutoScribe @roadshow @SaabPlanet @SaabOwnersClub @RadwoodOfficial @SaabsUnited Wooaah, I didn’t know there was another beryl SPG in MI! And here I thought I was the only one. Love it!

My wife walked in on me listening to Phish earlier & said “Is this from Sesame Street?” Devastating.

#RIP John Prine. “Hello in There” made me cry the first time I heard it and it still does. Every time.

I just want to point out that so far today, 32 Americans have died in the state of Michigan, and Trump is taking steps to deny that state getting critical medical supplies from vendors, because he thinks Gov. Whitmer hasn’t been nice enough to him.

@DougDeMuro love the garage video! But I think you’re missing one of the best license plates in North America

Spotted today. Who needs a pickup for towing when you have a 35-year-old Saab?

Patagonia got $10 million in GOP tax cuts. The company's donating it for climate change awareness - CNN https://t.co/L02MhT74aX
