Narrator: that’s exactly what they did.

 

Yep. Shit doesn't actually get done ahead of time in Washington. The public pressure ramps up at the last minute as disaster is about to ensue and then they finally actually maybe do something about it.

It is clearly a system that bodes well for responding to a pandemic!

 

Notably, OK has a Dem majority on the State Supreme Court. State elections matter!

 

Piers Morgan got designated an essential worker everything is fucked

 

She’s running for VP

 

However, that doesn't mean she's IN THE running for VP :/

 

She is though! Top 3, I'd bet.

 

Yeah I assume based on the polling that they are at the very least considering her strongly. I think Biden's 'instinct' or whatever is to go with a woman of color and I do think that's probably still the most likely outcome, and I do think there is a lot of merit to that as identity is important and all, but Warren def has a pretty good shot at this point IMO

 

The Hammer and the Dance: Why Reopening Now Will Kill

 

Im going to laugh when he picks Amy. Hopefully I can laugh anyway because I’m really sick of yelling and crying. I don’t think you’re wrong though I just don’t expect anything anymore.

 

I went to Koopmans hardware store the next town over from me, and they still had respirator masks for sale, the type where you change out the filters. They had one of these -->

and dozens and dozens of filters. I bought the mask and a handful of filters because they were $20 a pop, but I could have bought as many as I wanted.

They also had several of these left -->

along with dozens and dozens of the filters. These things are goofy and awkward to wear but they are rated N100 which is better than an N95 and is supposed to filter 99.7% of particles.

 

I want to believe you, but there's no way I can imagine Joe betraying his corporate donors and establishment support like that

 

Don’t speak that evil into the world!
