1/ THREAD (Click on "Show this thread") This is my presidential candidates list for 7/14/18. Changes: Kamala Harris remains top pick. Adam Schiff trades places with Avenatti. Joe Biden moves to third, & Joe Kennedy III moves to fourth. Elizabeth Warren remains at bottom of list.
2/ Michael Avenatti switches with Adam Schiff based on popularity for fighting Trump in court. Ted Lieu remains on the Second Tier displacing Kirsten Gillibrand on a previous list. Cory Booker and Deval Patrick stay the same.
3/ Kirsten Gillibrand holds the top of the Third Tier. Terry McAuliffe, Jeff Merkley and Howard Dean hold on to same positions as last list.
4/ Bernie Sanders holds the top of the Fourth Tier, though his position is deemed not secure at this level. Steve Bullock, Sherrod Brown and Tom Steyer show no movement.
5/ No changes as Andrew Coumo holds steady. Eric Garcetti, Hillary Clinton and Richard Painter hold their positions on the Fifth Tier.
6/ Rachel Maddow and Robert Mueller dominate the Sixth Tier driven by immense popular support. Eric Holder moves back on the list at the Sixth Tier. Chris Murphy holds on to his spot.
7/ Michael Bloomberg, Bill de Blasio and John Kasich hold their positions. John Kerry leaves the list and Elizabeth Warren moves into last place. (Dear candidates, if you have other photographs you would like me to use, please send them to me.)
1/ Excerpted from the Brennan Center For Justice at NYU Law School: "The For the People Act has big goals: to protect voting rights, establish automatic voter registration, prohibit extreme gerrymandering, and curb the role of big money in politics. The bill has passed the House,
2/ has been introduced in the Senate as S.1, and is very popular with the American public. Nonetheless, at this very moment, some pundits are urging Democrats to strip the bill of some key provisions. It’s a bad idea, as I argue in this Washington Post op-ed. Keeping the measure
3/ strong is the best way to boost its chances of becoming law. If enacted, the For the People Act would be the most significant democracy reform in decades, the next great civil rights bill. There’s no denying it faces legislative challenges. Republicans are preparing to
1/ Must read COVID mutation thread. My take, we could save ourselves and the lives of millions of other people if we would NOT ONLY GET VACCINATED BUT STAY MASKED AND SOCIAL DISTANCED A FEW MORE MONTHS. UNFORTUNATELY, GOP LEADERS ARE OPENING THE FLOODGATES TO DISASTER.

THIS SCOTUS DECISION IS A victory for PA voters whose late arriving ballots will now be counted. AND, it happened because newest justice AMY CONEY BARRETT RECUSED HERSELF. In this election, every victory in every state counts enormously. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…
CNN's reporting on the SCOTUS decision rebuffing the GOP's renewed attempt at voter suppression in PA - a decision even more remarkable because Trump's rushed through "judicial asset" Amy Coney Barrett RECUSED HERSELF. cnn.com/2020/10/28/pol…
NOTE: The decision may only result in a temporary protection of voters' rights. Hopefully, the decision will stay in effect long enough to allow all the mail in votes in PA to be counted. Also, the decision may not have been the DIRECT result of Barrett's recusal (but who knows).
