I know Taylor Swift is outspokenly political now & everything but it’s still kind of weird to see her tweet about the USPS in a kind of beltway tone that sounds like something from a Democratic Party fundraising email
I mean Alyssa Milano and Chrissy Teigen don’t even tweet like this
Some of the Swifties in my mentions reading way too deep into an observation about tone

Thinking about all the women with two surnames becoming known by their initials like AOC, RGB, ACB and noticing that a requirement seems to be that the last consonant must have an “eee” sound? I don’t see this trend with Catherine Cortez Masto, for instance. CCM might work tho
Michelle Lujan Grisham could go by MLG, that’s in line with the “rule” I mentioned above
Oh also former NH state rep @realYDB falls in line with this too with everyone calling her YDB

About Joe Biden playing Despacito from his phone –

Not only was he introduced by Louis Fonsi (who recorded the song), but Biden has a history of telling musical artists at his campaign events that he has their song on his phone and then playing it. washingtonexaminer.com/news/heres-why…
In an August fundraiser that featured Carole King, Biden told her that he has her song on his phone and then played "I Feel the Earth Move." He uses Apple Music, per pooler @brittanys Image
In a June fundraiser that featured Willie Nelson, Biden pulled out his phone and played "On the Road Again" as a way to introduce him, per pooler @KThomasDC Image

"Why you all don't just write, 'He's a fraud,'" Biden says to reporters about coverage of Trump, saying that statement is "not opinion."
More Biden: "Among the brightest people I've dealt with my whole career have in the press, not a joke. You are extremely well educated, you will read a significant background. And – and the vast majority have tried to report news, not just opinion. But I can't believe ...
(Biden) "But I can't believe that you don't feel the same – Not Democrat/Republican okay? – you don't feel the same anxiety because you've got a brother or a sister or a mother or a father, son or a daughter, who's going through what you're not" because journalists have jobs

Inside the scaled-back but still in-person COVID-careful Republican National Committee meeting in Charlotte – here's how participants feel about the safety measures and how the mandatory mask-wearing is going in the eerily quiet Charlotte city center

The Westin hotel where RNC members are gathering is closed to the public. Inside, a sign encourages elbow bumps & forbids hugs. Delegates wear contact tracing "safety fobs" so they'll be alerted if they come in contact w/ someone COVID-positive. washingtonexaminer.com/news/inside-th… ImageImage
“I feel safer here than anywhere else in the country,” said South Carolina committeeman Glenn McCall. “It's good to show the American people, ‘Yes, we take it seriously, the pandemic, but we have to get on with our lives.’”
