.@SenKamalaHarris: This is a moment of real consequence for America. Our economy, our health, our children, the kind of country we live in. It's all on the line.
.@SenKamalaHarris: We're reeling from the worst public health crisis in a century. The president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and we're experiencing a moral reckoning with racism & systemic injustice...
.@SenKamalaHarris "We don't have to accept the failed government of Donald Trump and Mike Pence. In just 83 days, we have a chance to choose a better future for our country. "
The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut. Just look where they've gotten us. More than 16M out of work. millions of kids who cannot go back to school, the senator says.
.@SenKamalaHarris: "This virus has impacted almost every country but there's a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It's because of Trump's failure to take it seriously from the start."
Harris continues: "His refusal to get testing up and running. His flip-flopping on social distancing and wearing masks. HIs delusional belief that he knows better than the experts."
This is what happens when you elect someone that isn't up for the job, Harris says.
Under a Biden/Harris administration, @SenKamalaHarris says they will create jobs in clean energy, build on ACA, give caregivers the pay they deserve, protect a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body + a new Voting Rights, a, "John Lewis Voting Rights Act."

Tyler Boebert is now appearing before a judge for his arraignment. Before things began, he had a hearty laugh with his co-defendants, though I could not hear what was said.

In Oklahoma, the only time abortion is legal is when the life of the mother is at risk in an emergency. There are no exceptions for rape or incest and what constitutes an emergency is still legally hazy.
But now, if a new law continues to hurdle through the state’s legislature, any time — and every time — someone has an abortion there, their name will be put into a unique database. lawandcrime.com/high-profile/b…

"Giuliani feebly counters concerns about him hiding assets, stating that there is no evidence in the record of any attempt by [him] to dissipate assets. This statement simply ignores the ample record in this case of Giuliani’s efforts to conceal or hide his assets..."
"Nowhere in opposition does Giuliani promise not to hide assets from plaintiffs. Nor does he contend, let alone demonstrate with documentary or other proof, that he would be unable to satisfy the judgment, in whole or in part. "
Judge reacts to Rudy's trial claim that requested damages would amount to 'civil death penalty': "Giuliani has made similar representations... that “financial difficulties” hampered his ability to immediately pay...
"Everything I said about them is true" - Rudy Giuliani
