@NateSilver538 Having visited many others states, I'm quite happy if my beloved New England -- six distinct states -- is considered weird. Per example, sunset at Carry Beach near Wolfeboro.

I posted my review of The Last American Aristocrat, by David S. Brown on @goodreads , about the remarkable #HenryAdams . See: https://t.co/mxdIgjOqe4 . A fine book for historical buffs who'd like to know more about America before, during and after the #GildedAge

Tough day for the aged 65+ people trying to get #vaccines in MA. With minimal warning, 3 mass vaccination sites were limited to 2nd doses. Next week, teachers of all ages join the throng hoping for shots. Need much better #logistics and #planning.

One of many examples of how and why Trump is a #boatanchor for the Republican Party until wiser heads cut the cord to him.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

I'm too tired for long takes but on a scale from 0 to 10 on how bad this is for the GOP, it's maybe like a 9, not just because of the immediate implications, but also because it may imply that Trump is sort of a poison pill for how the party navigates its future.
