Fast COVID tests were about to made available at Walgreens, etc. They would've helped kids return safely to school and adults to work. But the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT bought them ALL. Why? @maddow @AliVelshi @andersoncooper? Anyone?

Originally, large chain pharmacies were purchasing these tests directly from the manufacturer. Now Donald Trump has put himself between you and fast inexpensive testing. Why?
He did it with PPE. Now he's doing it with rapid tests.

So basically the feds are the middle man between manufacturer and retailers of a product vital to public health. With no accountability. Quite likely to be "distributed" (more likely sold, with a cut) with only political consideration, not public health consideration.

Today I got a USPS piece of mail that was mailed 35 days ago. Granted it came from New Jersey, and I live in California. But 35 DAYS.
Another piece of mail was sent from 12 miles away on July 22 and took 25 days to arrive. FROM ACROSS TOWN! What will happen to ballots? And this is new. DeLoy has even broken USPS tracking. Can't imagine why.
Here's another one. Local USPS First Class mail, took "only" 12 days! Our ballots may not arrive in time to be mailed in time! Use an authorized county ballot drop box (if your state has them) or mask up and vote in person, no matter how long it takes.

I cannot stress this enough. The USPS has been sabotaged, and with GOP obstruction, Democrats likely won't be able to adequately fix this issue before Nov 3.

As @tedlieu advises, DROP YOUR BALLOTS OFF IN PERSON wherever possible.
To clarify, most cities will have ballot drop off boxes and authorized locations.
If you can't drop off in person, mail early. If you plan on voting in person, mask up and be prepared for long lines. Bring a chair and anything else you need to wait for hours. We will prevail.
