I usually wouldn't tweet out a massive nothing burger with cheese, but this will probably make the news rounds today so it's worth commenting on
politico.com/news/magazine/…
This is literally the story of a guy engaging in illegal campaign donation shenanigans, that he alone got caught for, in a vain attempt to catch Joe Biden. That's it. That's the story. From 10 years ago. I don't even think Trump's people bothered with this one
"The agents believed that Toner and Biden knew exactly what was going on with respect to bundling,” Tigani said, but the Bureau was unable to prove it because the men were “too smart."
In other words, nothing to see here....
Also if you live in a 24,000 sq ft mansion and still go to Royal Farms for chicken and JoJos maybe you deserve to be picked up by the feds....
(full admission I still go to Royal Farms for chicken but don't live in a mansion so....🙄)

We know Trump is trying to destroy @USPS by having DeJoy remove sorting machines, cut back hours and increase the cost of stamps for mail in ballots. We also know DeJoy can be removed by the USPS BOG. But how did we GET here? You may not like the answer....
@USPS BOG is supposed to have 9 members, but they operated w/ an emergency committee & without a quorum for YEARS because several Obama appointees to the committee were blocked. Who were they blocked by? Senator Bernie Sanders thehill.com/blogs/congress…
Sanders was concerned that the @USPS BOG would continue to slash services & hurt employees so he was widely reported as blocking Obama's nominees. So much so that by Dec 2016, there was only ONE BOG member left. Trump has filled the positions in subsequent years

There's an excellent story in the @BostonGlobe today about a bipartisan group of experts, scholars and former military folks role playing if Trump refuses to leave office this fall. It's not pretty. #Thread

I have been saying for years now. America runs on tradition and norms more than law. The founders never assumed the country would elect someone who simply didn't care about either and filled the government with sycophants. But here we are. We DON'T have laws for a man like Trump
What happens election night? We will NOT know who the president is because the mail in ballots won't be counted. That could take weeks. Trump will declare the election over in his favor Dems will insist all votes be counted. Likely a state flips red to blue as more votes come in

Let me get this straight. @joelklatt argues that playing college spring & fall football (which isn't necessary) is actually MORE dangerous for players than playing through #COVID__19 - When's the last time someone died on the football field? Because #COVID__19 has killed 130K
Not only is this absolutely wrong by any empirical measure it also speaks to the larger problem of how black lives are literally considered dispensable by college/professional and even most sports journalists. About 1% of #COVID__19 deaths are college aged acsh.org/news/2020/06/2…
So while @joelklatt argues there is "No" chance of player danger, that's just a 1% death rate, overall. Consider that almost HALF of all college football players are African American, where #COVID is twice as likely to result in death as in whites. ncaa.org/about/resource…
