They should promise to send the same amount of documents as the White House did for recent investigations like the impeachment.
NYPD continues its selective enforcement of social distancing guidelines. Mother with mask handcuffed and thrown to the ground.
Enraging stuff: This comes after the NYPD Commish denied any racism in recent incidents.

Can they continue to confirm judges after the election, if he loses?
Interesting because Jill said she was still sour about how Kamala attacked Joe in the debates and was more effusive in praise to Klobuchar (and sat next to Lance Bottoms at the debate as her guest!).
But I agree, Jill is fantastic and would be an amazing First Lady.
Kamala also said, at the top of her remarks, "I do not believe you are a racist." But nobody ever remembers that. lol
And it can be so frustrating, because outside of that Kamala v.Joe moment, it illustrates exactly how conversations about race tend to break down. If you call out someone's problematic words or behavior, it must be because you think they're a bad person and hate them. And you can never work with them or again...because then you must be a hypocrite.
Maybe Jill hates Kamala which is why the VP search is taking so long in spite of the straightforward conclusion
I feel like Jill now calling her a role model for her granddaughters means she's over it and it's gonna be Kamala.
No, she could have just said we have our differences, but I believe there is no comparison between Joe and Trump. Or she could have said that I have talked with him and believe he's changed for the better.
I never said she shouldn't work with him. He's the nominee so it's a given that we all have to work with Biden.
There isn't one.
This Supreme Court is very "States' Rights" about all voting measures, and Roberts chooses to get the court involved as little as possible.
I actually think the opposite. I think the hope it gives people is energizing and is getting them excited to vote. Where as earlier people felt so defeated and hopeless they were ready to roll over and die.
Biden said he would announce towards the end of July. Probably why the VP hasn't been announced yet.
so is MJ Hegar even a real person? Has anyone ever seen her in person or was she just a twitter bot everyone decided to endorse by accident

Such a garbage candidate. Hoping Royce wins in the run off. In this climate Beto could have beat Cornyn, but no way he could have known before the filing deadline

It's a joke... Aka cops are a danger to your health. ;)
After finishing the Hulu Hillary documentary, curiosity led me into doing a lot of research into Bill. Definitely changed my whimsical views of who he is.
What'd you find?
BTW, the Street Fight Radio and Citations Needed podcasts are radicalizing me lately. I've gone full socialist. Has anyone else listened/binged to either lately?

I'll save you the read, Arizona - @dougducey isn't one of these governors. Weird, because our coronavirus rates are growing more rapidly than either TX or FL. Huh.

I really only knew (and even then, didn't really register to 6 year old me) about Lewinski. No ideas about the other scandals that dogged them and informed public opinion against Hillary, going back to the Arkansas days. Then I pivoted into the Columbia package during his administration.

Trump campaign staff were informed Friday night via email that all who were in Tulsa for last weekend's rally "are required to obtain a negative COVID-19 test this weekend," according to an email obtained by ABC. Reporting w/ @wsteaks & @Santucci

If a bunch of people test positive I wonder how they'll spin it assuming it's not swept under the rug.
The current Arkansas confederate friendly flag was signed into law by Bill Clinton!
80s-90s era Dems were a wild time.
wtf STL Mayor Krewson doxxed a whole petition of people wanting to abolish the police
I'm not even from STL and that's fucked up for me to read about stl

Natalie Shure's takes are consistently awful. I remember her defending and brushing off Alison Roman's racism, saying that the NYT letting her go was a labor rights issue and that Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo are rich so it's no big deal if we're mean to them. So if you're ever racist and need someone to come to your defense, just frame your racism as anti-capitalist critique and people like Natalie Shure will come rushing to your defense!

Holy shit I didn't see it that way! They just picked the half way point and said yup that sounds good.
Right, that's wild! And the thing is, Pence would want to fudge that to say even more were under 35, so if the best estimate for "safe" COVID cases is half, then woof
TX actually reverting back to their restrictions is huge. If they caved, then I expect FL will have to as well (much older population, plus the tourism). We'll see how they're doing when August rolls around and the unemployment/PPP stuff runs out.
This is kind of the reason I'm not all that broken up about Trump's attack on mail-in ballots, or the recent SC decision about Texas' mail ballots. The Good Guy in me wants everyone to have access to easy voting. The Partisan in me sees that mail in ballots being universal everywhere could actually help out Republicans in many places we need to/would like to win this year. So...
Beto and Stacey could totally have ended up senators next year.
Ahh the first amendment. The last refuge of someone with no argumentative leg to stand on.
My only thing with GOP souring on mail in ballots due to following shitlord Trump....
Wouldn't that indicate simply that they'd show up to the polls in person instead? Is there and data to show they straight up just wouldn't vote?

That point is paired with the fact that polling places will be COVID-y if they're even open at all. Will Idaho shut down sites? Probably not, and it's not a close situation. But if TX and FL need to close polling places, and republicans have decided that mailing in votes is bad, well....
Yeah, it's wild. Noone could have foreseen covid-19 though. Still hoping Beto runs for Governor in 2022.
Yeah, Putin was off the rails before but ever since Krimea he is unleashed. GUR is also responsible for executing a Gregorian here in Germany in broad daylight. Absolutely bonkers, two "diplomats" (GUR agents) were expelled and that's it. Putin need not fear any consequences.
How Trump and the Black Lives Matter Movement Changed White Voters’ Minds (Published 2020)
A majority of American voters support demonstrations on police brutality, and many see the president as ill-equipped on racial justice.
Steadman™ @AsteadWesley
NEW: More from NYT/Siena polling. A newfound majority of US voters are embracing tenets of the Black Lives Matter movement, our poll finds, and rejecting the president's focus on looting and rioting. His narrow focus has not worked. w/ @dionnesearcey
Includes whites and shows the limits of a president that only speaks and hears the bubble of the base. Just a big shift to accept reality of systemic racism even if theres not consensus on what to do about it. short term thesis: Trump not moving w/ country

Even though they are aware that Mr. Trump's mishandling of the virus presents a threat to his re-election, aides agreed to his demand for the rally last Saturday in Tulsa, Okla., hoping the adulation he would receive there would snap him out of a funk.

Trouble w/ trying to boost #s in GA (or TX, or any other state he shouldn't/can't afford to lose) is that the local problem proceeds from the national one. Whack-a-mole media buys miss the point, unless the point is to react to the news of the day and get the boss off your back.

The GA ad buy from Trump campaign is a real one, statewide in June, at 457K so far for a week of time per @MediumBuying. Up in Albany, Atlanta, Augusta-Aiken, Macon, Savannah markets.
