“One secret weapon has helped beat every disease outbreak over the last century; but it is not masks or social distancing, lockdowns, or even vaccines. Instead it is data."

Dear Trump voters:

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

It is amazing, in the year 2020, that anyone would treat a presidential candidate saying we need to transition away from oil as surprising or scandalous.

The reckless, scandalous position — ruinous to both lives and economies — is denying the need to decarbonize.

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

It can't be said enough: so many ppl don't have enough money to pay rent, to pay for food, to pay for medicine, to pay for clothes for their kids, to pay the bills for their family. The list goes on. The failure to provide money for people when they are most in need is abhorrent.

This is huge: Georgia voters can sign up for email/text alerts about changes in their absentee ballot status.

For example, I now know that mine was put in the mail one day ago, which makes me feel slightly better about not receiving it already.

Pres Trump: I am signing the first-ever executive order to affirm that it is the "official policy of the United States Government to protect patients with pre-existing conditions."

Fact: The Affordable Care Act signed by Pres Obama made covering pre-existing conditions U.S. law.

The Kentucky AG just said that the officers shooting in #BreonnaTaylor were JUSTIFIED. I’m done…

[ACLU @ACLU]

The response to protests over police violence cannot be more police violence.

We demand justice for Breonna Taylor NOW.

It is not too late for @GovLarryHogan to do the right thing.

Mail every registered voter their ballot.

If not, an estimated 1.6 million people might have to vote in person in Maryland. #MailInBallots

When the Dewey Beach Grotto Pizza sends white smoke up the chimney, we’ll know Biden has chosen a running mate.

If you need inspiration to get fired up about the last 90+ days until the election, listen to @MsLaToshaBrown talk to @jonlovett on #lovettorleaveit - you will not regret it

[LaTosha Brown @MsLaToshaBrown]

Y’all have supported & voted for mediocre white men (including myself) So please get off the Black woman needs to be perfect train. Don’t hold us at a different standard! Besides every Black woman on the VP list in considerably better than the majority of fmr U.S. presidents.
