This $3k/month detail for Jared and Ivanka story reminds me that Illinois taxpayers forked over $115,000 while Rod Blagojevich was governor. State police rented two apartments down the street from Blago's home. One apartment had a RED PHONE directly to Blago's house.

@realDonaldTrump @Varneyco @FoxBusiness Philly, where the declaration of independence was signed and the constitution written, has a written record on election integrity?

A fitting sight upon entry to work today--a squashed rat. I'll save you the photo but enjoy your own metaphore.

@ktumulty So killing 200k plus is a bigger rush than bankrupting his casinos?

His latest tweet: Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

If I were secret service detail I'd drive that thing to the nearest KFC drive-thru, then tell him to get out snd and find his own way home

The members of the @SecretService presidential protective division do serve to risk their lives for the president. But not in this frivolous way. Trump is a deeply psychologically unwell man. And he's a pathetic and complete disgrace.

I used to like Oberweis ice cream until I saw Jim Oberweis’ patently racist ads in his bid for Congress in the Chicago suburbs. Now I’m boycotting Oberweis because racism-flavored ice cream sucks.

@pattmlatimes Hmm. Maybe it would promote patriotic ed by putting someone historically significant like Harriett Tubman on the $20 bill like Obama had set in motion before trump/Mnuchin killed it. Otherwise, you've just got a bunch of monuments to dead white men, and lord knows we've plenty

From the man who was clueless about #PearlHarbor and resents the Constitution itself:
Philip Melanchthon Wegmann@PhilipWegmann
NEW: Trump announces at National Archives that he will sign an executive order to establish a “national commission to promote patriotic education.” It’ll be called the 1776 Commission.

The underlying cause of death in the vast majority of death certificates that mention COVID-19 is the coronavirus. bit.ly/3lzmGGd

@pattmlatimes And so the self proclaimed law and order president is inducing his supporters to commit felonies.

@MarkJacob16 Isn't it ironic that trump refuses to bring in a logistics expert to coordinate a national plan for securing ppe and testing, but now he brings in a logistics expert to oversee the dismantling of the postal service?

Republicans are trying to prevent people from voting so they can establish an apartheid-style system in which the wishes of the majority are ignored.

What self pitying claptrap. Your colleagues at the Trib also spoke their mind, and you seem to bristle at their right to. My grandfather was driven out of czarist Russia by pogroms fueled by the same sort of anti-semitic tropes you trafficked in. Stop whining.

As debates continue around police reform, focus can’t just be on big cities. Suburbs also need to be part of the conversation. Latest @BetterGov piece for @CrainsChicago Forum. By @JaredRutecki: bettergov.org/news/police-sh…

Isnt this also his way of setting a predicate for wriggling out of debates, where he would be on the defensive over his coronavirus response and the related economic free fall? After all, if the election is not legit, no need to debate?

Entirely possible to cover many subjects at once -- including the fact that the president of the United States has made an unconstitutional proposal on a day when the GDP is crashing.
