A public health expert in contact with Trump's COVID task force said that, early on, a member of Jared Kushner's team felt that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national testing plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. https://t.co/nnhK1clWTo

John Lewis asked The NYT to publish this on the day of his funeral. It is necessary reading. He writes, “When you see something that is not right, you must say something ... Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part.” https://t.co/gNWQDpeAZt

Worth keeping in mind: Around this time 4 years ago, Trump was warning that IN-PERSON voting was rife with fraud. Not clear to me if there is any form of voting the president thinks is safe.

Don't be fooled, this is all just an attempt to distract from the economy shrinking by 33%.

Speaking of looting, the Republican COVID relief bill includes $686,000,000 for F-35 fighter jets — while cutting extra unemployment benefits for 25,000,000 people.

Fewer people died yesterday from COVID in all of the Western Europe — population 450m — than died in Texas — population 30m. But sure.
