.@SenateGOP, where is your decency?
Where is your outrage?
Where are your guts?

"They're voting now." Way to go @amyklobuchar. You brought it!

“The people of this country are fighting back because they know what’s on the line.” Watch the whole thing. @amyklobuchar did NOT come to play today.

@grinder_tk @disposableMass @j_hepperly5 @GovTimWalz If you're only definition of "fine" equals "not dead" then I suppose you're right. However, Covid can have some nasty lasting effects: mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi…
No good figures to really measure the prevalence of these cases due to an incompetent coordination by Trump admin.

@disposableMass @j_hepperly5 @GovTimWalz 99.95% chance they will be fine.
Not cool to go in sick though.

Excited to see our first saliva testing lab up and running! The Duluth lab is the first of 10 that will diversify and strengthen our COVID-19 testing capacity.

@schoonerninja @ACorollaries @atowmater @miniondeathcult Two guys walk up behind him, they have all 4 guns before he drops his scone. He's a danger to himself.

@tommerdahl Definitely seems like he has not been crisp on the road.

@profofacct1 @DjCred @EvanMcMullin The trajectory of the economy has been maintained by The Fed and policies put in place long before Trump. Getting it back on track requires we get Covid under control not try to ignore it!

@aamosnyc @living_gurl @CeceSurfCityUsa @EvanMcMullin Please name one traditional conservative value Trump has observed. He's not a conservative, he's an opportunist

@CAN_USA_James @gartmartin9 @EvanMcMullin Correction: that's "anti-abortion" not "pro-life." It's obvious this administration has complete disregard for human life!

@kairyssdal I'm glad you're not observing a TOTAL tech blackout during your vacation. If you had unplugged last Thursday, coming back at the end of this week would be a pretty large shock! 😱😢😰

@Marketplace @kairyssdal @kairyssdal pumpkin is actually a very common food used to help with dogs' digestive issues. Keep the treats, your pup will appreciate it! 😉

OK, here’s the plan: @kairyssdal will drink a pumpkin spice beer (on camera), but only if you help us raise $100K by 10/1. Plus, every dollar supports the work we do: bit.ly/2RJqxDb
So ... how much does Kai hate pumpkin spice? We sent him a special scare package to see.

With all the talk about expanding the Supreme Court and adding new states, why no discussion of adding a couple hundred seats to the House? We did it nearly every decade for 150 years. It'd also make it less likely that the electoral college picks the popular vote loser

@LindseyGrahamSC Oh my friend, you need to read this: thebulwark.com/save-the-vote-…
Step back from the ledge before it's too late!

Could not agree more.
Lamar Alexander@SenAlexander
My statement concerning President @realDonaldTrump’s intent to fill the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell’s announcement that the Senate will vote on that nomination.

@mollywood, I'd love to hear you and your #MakeMeSmart cohort for the week weigh-in.

A solid conservative long form argument for delaying #SCOTUS appointment. Definitely worth the read! thebulwark.com/save-the-vote-…

This articulates so much of the conflict I continue to feel about this tumultuous time in our political experiment. I absolutely do NOT believe in abolishing the electoral college, but if our leaders do not make fundamental changes the people will burn our republic to the ground.

Relatedly, @Timodc has a column grappling with the legitimacy problem of a system that allows Republicans to control al levers of government with the support of a minority of voters thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/tyranny-of-t…
