"Leave it up to the states" was also the pro-slavery argument in the 1800s.

- Fun fact about the debate: It’s the first time the Secret Service has allowed a convicted felon to get this close to the President of the United States.
- BREAKING — Trump announces he does NOT want to do any more debates with Kamala Harris, even if they’re on Fox News. Yup. Kamala wrecked him. It wasn’t even close. And now he’s scared of her.
- So Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. Then he tried to deflect. Now he's gone to Germany to speak to the neo-Nazi AfD party, which he's endorsed, saying that Germany should let go of historical guilt -- which is a dog whistle for Holocaust denial. So Elon Musk is, in fact, a Nazi.
- “China will pay for the tariffs” is the new “Mexico will pay for the wall.”
- And this is why you actually prosecute ALL the crimes -- swiftly and thoroughly -- no matter who the criminal is.
- BREAKING -- Trump says he's kicking undocumented immigrants out of Social Security. One small problem, though -- undocumented immigrants are ALREADY ineligible for Social Security benefits. You know, because they don't have Social Security numbers. Because they're undocumented.
- The Supreme Court won’t force you to wear a mask in a pandemic — but it’ll force you to bear a child.
- So the guy who flirted with buying this site to 'defend free speech' just fired a bunch of his spaceship employees for speaking out to criticize his behavior and failing leadership? Got it.
- Do NOT panic during this first part of the evening. Rural counties report first because they have fewer votes to count -- tends to result in Republicans coming out to early leads. Democratic count tends to come in later in the evening. Keep Kamala and carry on a la.
- In December 2017, Congress voted on a bill to combat human sex trafficking. The bill passed the Senate unanimously. The bill passed the House, 418 to 1. The 1 "no" vote was Matt Gaetz.
- Jon Stewart invited Elon Musk onto the Daily Show. Musk said he'd only do it if the show would appear unedited. Stewart and the Daily Show agreed -- calling Musk's bluff. Musk has now chickened out and refuses to go on the show.
- Alabama ruled frozen embryos are children. Meanwhile, Alabama eliminated its summer food program for children who’ve actually been born.
- Something mainstream media won’t report: There was a Zoom tonight for Black women organizing for Kamala Harris. The call had a max of 1000 people. They hit it immediately, and got a hold of the Zoom CEO to help. 40,000 people joined. For over 4 hours. Trump is soooo screwed.
