As bad as things look right now, don’t cancel October just yet.
The next few weeks/months could bring several innovations that will dramatically improve options on #COVID19:
- “group” or “pool” testing”
- At-Home tests
- Monoclonal Antibody treatments
- Vaccine by early Nov
It is beyond sickening how this administration is trying to target international students for deportation. We're not going to allow Donald Trump to use this pandemic as an excuse to advance a heartless, anti-immigrant agenda.

Heartbreaking. When planning the best course of action for schools in the fall, decision makers must also prioritize the safety of our teachers and staff.
Three teachers in Eastern Arizona taught a summer school class virtually from the same classroom.
All three teachers came down with the virus and one died. https://bit.ly/2APgGa2
Hey, everybody! Look over here! Now click on my brilliant, fun-to-read op ed laying out exactly what @JoeBiden needs to do to win. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/14/opinions/biden-trump-election-2020-franken/index.html
I support Governor Newsom’s order to tighten public health guidelines throughout the state. We have to do more to control this virus. I’m also glad LA and San Diego school districts decided not to reopen next month. Our decisions must be based on science and data, not politics.
Instead of spending more on Trump's Space Force and a "super-duper missile" program designed to kill as many people as possible, let's invest more in health care, education, and housing for our people here at home.
It's time to cut the Pentagon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/14/beginning-end-ever-rising-pentagon-budgets/
As part of our made-in-Ontario plan for recovery, we are working with local companies like @eclipseautomate to make the PPE we need.

My Clean Cars for America initiative would accelerate our transition to all-electric vehicles on the road by 2040, a serious breakthrough in our fight against climate change.
And I’m so proud it’s included in Joe Biden’s climate plan.

True. But, sadly, there are no liberals any more.
They’ve been replaced by authoritarian statists demanding complete uniformity & subservient obedience to government.
No free speech. No civil liberties. Just totalitarian tyranny.
I don't always agree with @bariweiss, but I think her resignation critique of the Twitter mobs that harassed her for her not being sufficiently leftist or expressing a viewpoint that "goes against the grain" are fair.
It should be liberals defending her, not Ted Cruz or TrumpJr. https://twitter.com/afneil/status/1283067669399457793

Congress could make significant progress by repealing conspiracy laws that result in easier convictions and cruel prison sentences that either do not fit the crime or apply when no crime has been committed at all.
Rand Paul: Conspiracy laws result in cruel prison sentences, particularly for Black Americans
It is time to acknowledge that the doctrine of criminal conspiracy is unsound, unnecessary and unjust.

What we are witnessing is the absolute absurdity of our profit-driven, employer-based, private health care system.
Health care can no longer be an employee benefit—we must make it a human right, through Medicare for All.

Trump's cronies haven't prioritized the stark racial disparities of COVID-19, but their failure is even bigger than this pandemic. @RepPressley & I want to know why Trump's @HHSgov never reported on racial disparities in health care as required by law.
Warren, Pressley demand action from HHS on coronavirus' impact on minority communities
In a letter to the agency Tuesday, the lawmakers asked for an updated report on how it plans to alleviate racial health inequities.

Pretty much your choice in elections this year
In announcing his latest mass closings, CA Gov Gavin Newsom scolded Californians, saying, “The data suggests not everyone is acting with common sense.” For once, I agree with him. Just look at who they elected Governor.
Teachers shouldn't be forced to choose between their lives and their jobs.
Quote of the Day! From Sen. Elizabeth 1/1024th Warren: “We need new leaders! We need new voices!” (Said in endorsing the election of a 77-year-old man who’s been in government in Washington for 50 years.)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "We need new leaders. We need new voices."
Rejecting these illegitimate claims by #China’s Communist Party is a very important step towards demonstrating our commitment to international law & a free & open Indo-Pacific.
We should follow up by passing my bipartisan South China Sea & East China Sea Sanctions Act.
We are strengthening U.S. policy on South China Sea maritime claims, according to international law, in rejection of Beijing’s intimidation, bullying, and claims of maritime empire.
Back in February, Trump’s radical, unqualified Fed nominee Judy Shelton told me she was “not yet familiar” with the basic safeguards in place to prevent a banking crisis. Now we're in a recession. Putting Judy Shelton on the Board of Governors would be a disaster. #StopShelton

Would be so great if the Media would get the word out to the people in a “fair and balanced” way. We will win anyway, but they are a far more difficult adversary than their Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat Partner!
We are in the middle of a pandemic that has killed more than 130,000 Americans, but President Trump and the Republicans are still suing to take away health coverage from tens of millions.
