📣 THREAD: Candidates are gonna have trouble fundraising during the #COVID19 crisis: First, money's gonna be tight for millions of people losing their jobs. Second, no in-person fundraising events. But to get us out of this nightmare Dems MUST flip as many seats as possible! 1/
Therefore, I'm *still* going to be pushing for folks to donate to Dems up & down the ticket as much as possible. With that in mind, here's all 12 of my fundraising pages where you can donate to multiple candidates at once! First, help #FlipTheSenate:
secure.actblue.com/donate/retakes… 2/
Next, help #KeepTheHouseBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/keepthe… 3/
Third: Help #ExpandTheBlueHouse by donating to these swing district challengers to GOP seats: secure.actblue.com/donate/expandt… 4/
Fourth, fifth and sixth: None of the GOP-held seats at these next 3 links are considered swing districts, but to hell with it; with great candidates, some luck and your support, we should be able to #CompeteEverywhere and flip a few of them! secure.actblue.com/donate/compete… 5/
secure.actblue.com/donate/compete… 6/
secure.actblue.com/donate/compete… 7/
That's it for the federal races...now let's move onto the states!
MICHIGAN: Help #FlipMIHouseBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav… 8/
OHIO: Help #FlipOHBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/flipohb… 9/
TEXAS: Help #FlipTXHouseBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav… 10/
NORTH CAROLINA: Help #FlipNCBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/bluewav… 11/
WEST VIRGINIA: Help #FlipWVBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/flipwvb… 12/
WISCONSIN: Help #FlipWIBlue: secure.actblue.com/donate/makewib… /END
NOTE: I was planning on creating more state-level pages and still hope to but will be pausing for awhile on that...

Dear @AOC: I heard you claimed on @BretBaier's show that there was "rampant voter suppression" here in Michigan which prevented Bernie supporters from voting. Your "evidence" for this is that some college kids had to wait several hours to vote. 1/
I agree that you shouldn't have to wait several hours to vote, which is why it's such a great thing that in 2020, Michigan voters had SIX WEEKS to vote by mail, which they DIDN'T have in 2016. I also agree that you shouldn't have to wait several hours to *register* to vote... 2/
...which is why it's such a great thing that in 2020, Michigan residents were allowed to REGISTER to vote RIGHT UP THROUGH ELECTION DAY, which they COULDN'T do in 2016 (you had to be registered at least 30 days *before* e-day back then). Yet even with the addition of both... 3/

That's not even *remotely* what he said.
He said he'd veto any bill which delays expanding coverage in the immediate future.
And there's no way in hell Bernie's *current* version would get through the House, much less the Senate anyway.
Aside from the fact that his response was cut off (see @HawaiiDelilah’s comment), any bill this complex would take 2-3 years before it could even begin to be implemented (BEFORE the 4-year transition period). The ACA was signed in 2010 but main provisions didn’t start until 2014.
Some of the 4-yr delay in the ACA was done for CBO scoring reasons but most of it was because of the technical and logistical changes needed...which were minor compared to what would be required under Bernie’s M4All bill.

@jkarsh @gracels "Single Payer" refers to any healthcare system in which a single entity--presumably the federal government--pays for most (or all, in the case of "pure" single payer) healthcare expenses.
@jkarsh @gracels In the United States, we have a hodge-podge of healthcare coverage systems, including three which are often considered "single payer": Medicare, Medicaid/CHIP and the Veteran's Administration. However, there are differences even there. 2/
@jkarsh @gracels With (current) Medicare, the government only pays for perhaps 80% of the cost, which means there's still some level of premiums, deductibles and co-pays. Also, (current) Medicare isn't comprehensive--it only covers perhaps 80% of most enrollees' medical/healthcare services. 3/

#Hezbollah announced a huge plan to combat #CoronavirusPandemic in #Lebanon. The plan is as follows:

More than 24,500 people (doctors, nurses and aid workers) who work in the health sector contribute to this plan.
According to the head of Hezbollah's executive coucil Sayed Hachem Safieddine:
"The plan is compatible with the plan prepared by the Lebanese Health Ministry to combat coronavirus and doesn’t contradict with it. All our measures correspond with that of the ministry.”
A number of hospitals have been rented by Hezbollah and have been prepared to be used when necessary.
The Resistance movement has also prepared 32 medical centers across the Lebanese territories as part of the efforts to combat #CoronavirusPandemic.

#Thread The severe disruption caused by Covid 19 globally has escalated daily over the past week, and resulted in increasingly stringent measures to safeguard populations around the world including the Jamaican population.
The Covid crisis will certainly have adverse economic implications for the world and for Jamaica.

The good news, however, is the the Government of Jamaica is providing a $25 billion stimulus, the largest stimulus in Jamaica’s history that could not come at a better time.
Pumping $25 billion into the economy at a time of uncertainty like this helps to support economic activity in Jamaica.

The reduction in GCT by 1.5% from 16.5% to 15% puts $14 billion back into the hands of consumers and supports consumption.

#Covidー19uk Statement

Pawprints Dog Rescue was first set up as a charity in 2012 with the primary aim to save the lives of stray dogs abandoned at local pounds. We will continue to do our utmost to meet any demands in the almost surreal situation that we find ourselves in, as
long as we can meet the financial obligation this will place on us from the highly likely increase of abandonment due to fear, illness or very sadly, death; that we can provide the kennel space and ensure that we have back up plans in place in case of mass self-isolation or
illness of staff at kennels or volunteers; we promise to try our hardest to save as many dogs lives as we possibly can. However, this may become impossible and people should prepare themselves for this eventuality. We expect that most of the larger rescue centres will cease

1/ A THREAD: Goldman Sachs just gave a massive downgrade to the US economy because of #COVIDー19. How might that affect the 2020 presidential election?
2/ Here is the gloomy new baseline forecast from GS, lopping a percentage point from 2020 real GDP growth (Q4/Q4) to a meager 1.0%:
3/ No incumbent party has won the presidency with an economy that weak in the postwar era. Indeed, that GS-forecasted rate of growth for 2020 would be slower than in 2016 (1.6% vs. 1.3%, year-over-year), a rate which likely hurt Hillary Clinton.

#THREAD to try to make sense of #Italy’s govt crisis: PM Conte will address the Senate at 15.00CET today. No vote of confidence is scheduled but it could be called by the League UNLESS PM uses the speech to announce his resignation. The latter is the most likely scenario. 1/n
If #Conte resigns Pres Mattarella will hear representatives from all parties & decide whether to: a) let PD/5Stars form a new govt; b) install a caretaker govt to pass the budget; c) call a snap election. Italy hasn’t seen a general election in the fall since 1919. 2/n
The reason for avoiding elections in the fall is the national #budget: deadline for approval is Dec 31. #Italy must send a draft of its 2020 one to @EU_Commission in early Oct. Running a campaign, an election and installing a new govt in the midst of it all is no joke. 3/n
