Elizabeth Warren may not be your first choice for VP, but pollsters say that adding her to the ticket will be the Democrats' best chance at getting Trump OUT of the White House.
Kamala Harris is my first choice. But I'll happily settle for Elizabeth Warren if the Biden camp picks her.
It seems that one of the biggest impediments to Biden's choosing Kamala Harris is Jill Biden, who was really angry at Harris's attack on Joe during the first debate.

With Elizabeth Warren, party leaders worry that "choosing her could disrupt the party’s prospects to control the Senate given that Massachusetts has a Republican governor who could temporarily appoint her successor."

On this day in 1992 (also a Sunday), the nation was still reeling from LA riots which resulted from outrage over the acquittals of 4 white police officers caught on video beating a black man, Rodney King.

The League of Women Voters pleaded with *AG William Barr* for justice.
1992 Bill Barr's answer to the LA riots was to deport illegal aliens.
Race riots. Rage. Killing. Looting. Burning.

In **1992** a Columbia University professor says: "This is deja vu. Very little has changed."

Except for the date, this page of the Flynn transcripts was completely redacted.

We know from the Flynn indictment that it was on this date that Flynn was directed by "a very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team" to contact Russia.

justice.gov/file/1015126/d…
Flynn was contacting Kislyak to tell him that the incoming Trump admin was opposed to a resolution to call on Israel to stop settlement activities in Palestinian territory.

Team Trump assumed the Obama admin would NOT oppose it, and was lobbying RUSSIA and others to oppose it.
The "very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team" who directed Flynn to make this call was probably Jared Kushner.

Important. Trump's covid response has cratered his polling in certain demographics. But now he's taking political advantage of the fear invoked in some whites of images of blacks burning down a police station and vandalizing/looting. He'll use that fear to motivate his voters.
I think it's important for Democrats to not allow themselves to be portrayed as "anti-police" because that's exactly what RW pundits will be doing.
All people across the political spectrum should be outraged that George Floyd was murdered by a police officer.

AND

None of us should excuse protestors who force police to flee their own precinct, leaving rioters to burn the station to the ground.
