@Redistrict @UpshotNYT @Nate_Cohn @538politics @NateSilver538 @RealClearNews Are Tossup races really Tossups if they are consistently won by Republicans by ~8 pts? Would love to see some retrospectives/analysis on the polling here. Thanks!

@henryolsenEPPC Curious: what's the data behind this? Exit polls, county websites?

@davidshepardson Is the complaint going to be filed via ECF? Do you have a PACER or CourtListener link?

@doppl_info Hey, make a version of your extension for Firefox. The APIs are the same/similar (WebExtensions). Thanks!

@jason_paladino @CBP @ACLU Time for another FOIA request: https://t.co/o1VxllGXjr

@barrylithauer @gtconway3d @realDonaldTrump Haven't gotten one. Maybe we should map which counties and states get them?

[Timothy Higinbottom @timhigins]

@Craig_A_Spencer Reading this, I started thinking: we should give every doctor and nurse a huge bonus for this year, and why aren’t we sending their children to college for free paid for by the federal govt?

Travel bans neither stopped the spread of this novel #coronavirus nor prevented it from becoming a pandemic.

This updates our @ThinkGlobalHlth tracker of #COVID19 cases in countries with travel restrictions on China (red) & countries without such restrictions (blue). Thread 1/

@wolfblitzer Thanks for asking about faster tests. RT-LAMP is a diagnostic method that can run in less than 20 minutes.

[Timothy Higinbottom @timhigins]

@wolfblitzer Dr. Birx: hundreds of thousands is false. The cobas 8800 can only do 960 tests in 8 hours: https://t.co/8W7nTA17u9

[Timothy Higinbottom @timhigins]

Dr. Birx saying on @CNN: "If we could get an option where people could self-test, then we could really eliminate the amount of personal protective devices needed in the testing arena." Let's get this done!

@kaitlancollins Is @realDonaldTrump open to using investigative powers to access location data from cell phones like Israel and South Korea to locate the “front lines” of the pandemic?

[Timothy Higinbottom @timhigins]

Additionally, would you support building federally-managed facilities to produce the millions of testing materials required, or returning control of parts of this supply chain to the federal government, or at least mandating its capabilities to handle emergencies like this one?

[Timothy Higinbottom @timhigins]

#DemDebate The majority of the supply chain of COVID-19 testing materials is contracted out to nonprofit and for-profit corporations such as ATCC, Roche, etc. How would you ensure that this supply chain performs properly and can scale to hundreds of thousands of tests required?

[Timothy Higinbottom @timhigins]

#DemDebate South Korea has utilized aggresive investigative powers including accessing location data from mobile phones to combat COVID-19. They also have published lists of locations visited by coronavirus-positive citizens. Would you endorse a similar policy in the US?
