- Some of Green Book’s best friends are black movies.
- Doug Jones taking off gloves: Just finished speech saying he uses guns for hunting “not prancing around on stage,” said Moore has “never, ever served our state with honor,” and that “men who hurt little girls should go to jail and not the United States Senate.”
- She...literally is a psychology professor.I’m no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying. Can’t do it to testify but for vacation, well it’s not a problem at all.
- Biden adviser @SymoneDSanders on DNC call: "With all due respect Mr. Vice President, that violence is happening right now in Donald Trump’s America. This is happening on your watch... You own this.”
- Political divisions feel so intractable and immovable, but Jimmy Carter is still alive and his winning electoral map looks INSANE to a 2020s observer.
- Has anyone in the “it’s a fabricated smear by Dems/the media” camp attempted to explain why Neil Gorsuch didn’t get hit by an allegation? Was George Soros just, like, on vacation that month?
- Hillary Clinton: “All the networks except Fox are reporting what’s really going on... It appears they don’t know I’m not president.”
- Inbox: Reps. Ro Khanna and Rep. Tim Ryan have a new bill to respond to the coronavirus that would give $1,000 and $6,000 to every American who earned less than $65,000 last year, via an emergency EITC. "More than three-quarters of American workers would qualify."
- Josh Shapiro went to a Rutters to celebrate that you can now buy canned cocktails at gas stations and grocery stores in PA -- but forgot his ID and they apparently wouldn't sell to him.Replying to @StephenJ_CarusoShapiro forgot his ID and couldn't buy his spiked lemonade.
- NEW: Larry Elder's campaign is promoting a website that claims the recall is over, Newsom won, and they found voter fraud through a statistical analysis of the results. The only problem: The election hasn't happened yet...
- Democrats have *flipped* 7 state legislative chambers and 333 seats, adding 6 more trifectas (gov+both chambers), per DLCC. Few ever pay attention to these races, but they’re important for redistributing and waves can be leveraged for major gains.
- Pete Buttigieg 11:41 am: "You will not see me exchanging love letters with on WH letterhead with a brutal dictator." Donald Trump 12:46 pm: "I just received a beautiful letter from Kim Jong Un."
