Can bore you on Lewis & Clark, horse racing, and electricity policy. Dazzled by New Mexico’s astonishing cumulus festival. RT no endorsement.

Good advice from Nick Kristof: "To Beat Trump, Mock Him." https://t.co/43GgXtjsLI

To McConnell and Graham: Do your worst. At least two new justices will be required to replace RBG’s courage, wisdom, gentleness and intellect.

Amid all the conjecture about filling the seat of the “notorious RBG,” don’t underestimate the effect next week’s debate could have on many things, this included.

@realDonaldTrump’s lies helped COVID-19 grow at a vicious pace. His failure to lead caused the economy’s collapse. A Trump two-fer. Then there were the bodies. Collateral damage.

Biden should “get out” with strong daily and weekly videos and Zoom town halls that set out his vision and debunk Trump lies. No crowd mixing yet.

[Elena Schneider @ec_schneider]

Biden, when asked abt criticisms that he get out and campaign in-person more: "I think my message is getting out, based on what all the polling data shows."

"I would like to get out more, but the president has a responsibility to set an example."

The vote is being threatened by a pandemic and the president whose incompetence enabled it to grow out of control. It’s time to protest under the banner “Vote Safely.” No act is more sacred and fundamental to being American.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

Not sure DJT could spell “abdication” but pretty sure he couldn’t define it—even as he’s doing it: failing abysmally to lead on COVID and unaware how badly.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

Pandemic blues got ya down? Election dragging on too long? Well chase those blues away! Watch “Hamilton” original cast performance now on TV (Disney+). It’ll blow you away. I’ll not admit how many times I’ve seen it.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

Attn. MSNBC. Trump’s frequent Covid “briefings” are really discursive rants with minimal or misinformation by the Prevaricator in Chief. You’ll likely have to provide Biden equivalent free time; but his briefings might actually be informative. 🙈❤️🙏🏾

@CIAspygirl As a pre-teen, my principal sport was opening the door to admit legions of flies to our screen porch, where I lay waiting with my trusty flyswatter.

Kneeling has evolved into a most respectful form of patriotism. Ironically, though it wasn’t initially treated respectfully—and still isn’t in denser quarters—it always was.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

Trump bungled the opportunity to lead that the pandemic crisis presented, causing our massive economic collapse. It’s hard to imagine two such self-inflicted wounds by a sitting president. Too bad he had to harm the US so deeply in the process.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

DJT’s fatuous COVID-19 briefings are so error-filled that no media outlet should cover them. Trump says voting by mail encourages fraud. Does he even know that five states —Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Utah—have fraud-free, statewide vote-by-mail elections?

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

dats what I’m talkin’ about!

[Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski]

There is absolutely no reason to delay this election, and it is not going to happen. It’s incumbent on us to ensure safe and secure elections, and that’s exactly what the Congress has been doing.

@kidcongo Guess you missed the popular genre aimed at slow to mature white kids.

In the unlikely event that DJT wins a 2nd term, would it be the blue states looking to succeed from the union? Wow! We’d need some new statues and monuments.

[Ken Caldeira @KenCaldeira]

I'm ready for the United States to become two different countries.

If the red states want a medieval faith-based pro-corporate government, it would be bad but not as bad as destroying my country.

I want to live in a country that believes in science and taking care of people.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

Indeed. One size seldom fits all comfortably.

[Chris Villarreal @venerable_bede]

@TKavulla course, some "reformers" are more preferred than others.

[Robert Marritz @electricityROM]

If the agenda of the forthcoming administration isn’t too full, M. Kavulla is just the guy to correct this imbalance.

[Travis Kavulla @TKavulla]

First ComEd, now this. Utility monopolies' revenue depends more on their relationship to powerful state legislators than on service to customers. The problem here is not just the corruptibility of certain public officials -- it's the monopoly. This sector badly needs reform.
