I’m from Guatemala, a country responsible for much of the illegal immigration into the US. Kamala Harris has helped strengthen the rule of law and economy of my country, leading to fewer people wanting to emigrate. I’m confident she’s the best choice to fix the US border crisis.

When it comes to critical pandemic medical supplies such as #N95 masks, the US is flying blind. Policymakers lack the necessary knowledge of the nation’s existing activities and capabilities to inform a policy response. (1/3)

@jayrosen_nyu @GSAEmily @zachfannin Is it possible she fears the harassment and threats that some Trumpists routinely level at people who displease the president? Who would step forward to defend her? Not any of her colleagues in the Trump administration.

"The only explanation for her behavior is the most obvious one: She has bought the ideology; she has become a true believer; she has accepted the lies." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… The article you were perhaps waiting for about @GSAEmily. Via @zachfannin

LOVE this @TheDailyShow skit!

President Trump has claimed that the announcement of a potential #COVID19 vaccine was suppressed by the FDA and Democrats to damage his #Election2020 chances. Our fact-check shows no evidence to support the charge. @pulitzercenter fcld.ly/s6xvayt

Terrific news! #CFAPROUD

Seems like we had a Democratic presidential hopeful who proposed this very thing.

@chrislhayes Sure. Part of it is the realization that we've got to start at the beginning again -- and continue doing so until we get the response right. Part of it is the fact that we know we won't have a leader with the skills needed until January 2021.

I'm curious if other people have had something in them break the last few weeks, where you realize "normal," or even a rough approximation of it is gone for a good long while. We've always known that at some level but I feel it intensely and viscerally right now.

@NickKristof Defund the police is a terrible slogan because it is open to so many different interpretations. Often, the first thing it conjures is eliminating police and very few citizens would want that.

The most common reader reaction to my column today seems to be that, yes, it's important to reimagine policing and reallocate some policing to social workers -- but that the specific phrase "Defund the police" is a gift to Trump. nyti.ms/3dSHFzB Thoughts?
