- A humbling Herman Cain/coronavirus timeline: 6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless 7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19 7/10: Says he’s improving 7/15: Says his doctors seem happy 7/27: Says he’s really getting better 7/30: Dies
- Russia’s stock market has lost nearly 40% of its value today — and at one point was down nearly 45%. It’s one of the biggest single-day meltdowns in modern market history.
- So much moaning about Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. I don’t remember hearing all of this whining when Senators John Cornyn, Mike Crapo, Mike Lee and Tommy Tuberville visited Taiwan last year.
- Yikes! According to reality, your father bankrupted six companies, cost tens of thousands of people their jobs, gutted Atlantic City, turned his back on New York, looted his own charity with your help, and has spent decades lying about how much money he has. 🤡Yikes! According to Forbes, in 2006 Bloomberg was worth $5.3B (#44); in 2009, his net worth had balooned to $20B (#8).. so while people were losing their homes, Bloomberg made nearly $15B off Wall Street software.

- "He inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground." - Harris
- Alabama allows mail-in voting, too. 🤔Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado: "The problem I have with Colorado -- they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can't have that."
00:00 - Jared Kushner didn't get $2 billion from the Saudis because he's a world-class investor. It smelled of access then and it smells of access now. And it's a national security problem.
