“Donald, would you just be quiet for a minute.” 👁👁
I’m so tired already.
How did we get here?
How the hell?
Pan left.
“He still doesn’t have a plan.”
This is it.
200,000+ Americans are dead.
“He still doesn’t have a plan.”
Governors said Trump did a good job because he threatened them! IN CASE YOU FORGOT.
Trump just said we’re “weeks” away from a vaccine, with no evidence that that’s actually true.
“No negative effect.”
There’s a death count.
Trump just plows through.
Biden stops when Wallace tells him to.
Trump is such an incredible embarrassment for our country.
I truly can’t get over it, and it saddens me greatly. We must succeed at ending his presidency as soon as possible.
Trump is so racist. And Biden is, more than I’d have expected, calling it out.
DEMOCRATS DIDN’T LEAVE THOSE JUDICIAL OPENINGS; MCCONNELL STOPPED THEM.
Yes, the Obama Administration had failings on judges and didn’t start moving rapidly enough, but this is bullshit.
Wallace: “I’d like to talk about climate change.”
Biden: “So would I.”
Biden can’t believe that he has to do this, and, honestly, I get it.
Donald Trump, the president of the United States, just urged his supporters to engage in voter intimidation.
Trump embarrassed the nation tonight. He was a bully, as usual; a racist, as usual; and a man who told violent racists “stand back and stand by.”
Biden could have done better, yes, but he spoke well about the pandemic and a few other issues. And I did like the moments where Biden just ignored the debate and spoke directly to the American people. Those were strong moments.

BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds district court order that the Trump administration "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was improperly sent to El Salvador.
A part of the government's request to vacate the original order is "effectively granted" b/c the deadline passed, SCOTUS holds, but the rest of the order stands. As to the requirement to "effectuate" Abrego Garcia's return, the district court should "clarify" that, w/ deference to executive.
BREAKING: On a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Education Dep't to halt payment of grants.
A district court issued a TRO blocking the cancelation of the grants in a suit brought by eight states. The appeals court refused a stay pending appeal.
Today, SCOTUS stayed the TRO—blocking payments.
Thomas, Alito and the three Trump appointees formed the five-justice majority who issued the unsigned per curiam opinion.
Roberts wrote nothing but noted he would have denied the application.
Kagan and Jackson wrote dissents. Sotomayor joined Jackson's dissent, which does not hold back:
BREAKING: Chief Judge Boasberg issues a classwide, nationwide temporary restraining order, blocking removal of any noncitizens in U.S. custody who are subject to today's AEA order for the next 14 days.
With planes leaving, he says, "I am required to act immediately."
BREAKING: A federal judge this morning issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport several Venezuelan nationals with no process.
BREAKING: A federal district court judge in Kentucky vacates the Biden administration's Title IX rule, challenged largely for its transgender protections, a decision with nationwide effect.
The rule had been blocked in over half over the country as a result of several different challenges, but there had been no nationwide ruling — and appeals are pending in several appeals courts.
Schumer is filing cloture on several judicial nominations. Republicans are forcing them to go into executive session separately for each nomination. The Dems are just pushing ahead. Here was Schumer before the 10th vote, by my count, began.
By the Republicans refusing to give unanimous consent, the Dems are having to go through a series of procedural votes on each nominee.
They're passing on party-line votes, but the Republicans are literally just forcing them to take hours on this.
So far, cloture has been filed for:
- Amir H. Ali (D.D.C.)
- Sparkle L. Sooknanan (D.D.C.)
- Brian E. Murphy (D. Mass.)
- Anne Hwang (C.D. Calif.)
- Cynthia Dixon (C.D. Calif.)
This voting began at 6:32 pm, C-SPAN notes, after the vote on Kidd for the 11th Circuit.
