I'll keep saying it & keep asking you to retweet it: Do not return your ballot by post anymore. It won't arrive in time to be counted. If you still have your #ballot, take it to a dropbox or clerk's office. Tell friends & family. This is as important as it gets. #LeaveNoDoubt

It will be the angry WOMEN who fix this, though. (The angry men are the reason we’re in this mess.) Ladies, it’s go time. #VOTE

Embarrassment
Under questioning by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), Amy Coney Barrett is unable to name the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

If we expect second graders to show up for virtual school the least Trump could do is show up for a virtual debate.

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that to be a good judge, you need to have good judgment? Participating in a super spreader event that contravenes local DC law and CDC guidance doesn't strike me as good judgment.

And never has their work required more bravery. Sadly. Hats off to the social studies teachers of the United States 🎩👩🏽‍🏫🇺🇸 #sschat – at St Simons, GA
Let's all take a moment to thank the social studies teachers who taught us history, to think critically, and to debate with civility. Never has the need for their work been more evident #Debates2020 @ElectionEdge @GatorCitizen #sschat

TODAY >> I asked a Big Pharma CEO to justify why his company raised the price of a lifesaving cancer drug by over $500 *per pill* since it first hit the market. He couldn’t answer. This same CEO made $13 MILLION in 2017— including a $500,000 bonus for this price hike.

Where are the 10, 20, 30, 40 Republicans in The Senate and House who will condemn unequivocally the most despicable public utterances and embrace of evil ideology by a president in the experience of all living Americans?
