“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: Booksellers' challenge to Texas's book-ban regime succeeds at the Fifth Circuit.
Today, the full Fifth Circuit announced that the far-right judges of the court LOST a vote for rehearing en banc 8-9 after a 3-judge panel had previously upheld the dist ct's injunction.
There is highly questionable action from the Fifth Circuit this weekend, flagged to me by @steve_vladeck. On Saturday, the Fifth Circuit issued "a temporary administrative stay," allowing Texas S.B. 4 — the challenged Texas immigration law — to go into effect in 7 days.
Here's my thread on the preliminary injunction ruling from Feb. 29:
BREAKING: Fifth Circuit holds that fed'l emergency room protections (EMTALA) do not mandate that physicians provide abortions when that is the "stabilizing treatment" needed, upholding an injunction issued in a lawsuit brought by Texas. More to come: lawdork.com
For background on this issue (while I'm reading and writing), here's some a post relating to the still-pending SCOTUS stay application filed by Idaho in the inverse EMTALA litigation, where DOJ sued Idaho: lawdork.com/i/139439910/th…
BREAKING: Supreme Court will NOT hear case over Washington's conversion therapy ban, over the objection of Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Thomas and Alito write.
Supreme Court also DENIES RFK Jr.'s request to intervene at SCOTUS in Murphy v. Missouri, the case over Biden administration social media influence out of the Fifth Circuit. Thomas notes his dissent.
BREAKING: On a 2-1 vote, the 11th Circuit DENIES Florida’s request that it be allowed to enforce its anti-drag law against everyone in the state except the plaintiffs during the appeal.
Jordan and Rosenbaum, both Obama appointees, hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting an injunction prohibiting all enforcement of the ban, given its underlying finding that the law is likely overbroad and this likely facially unconstitutional.
Brasher, a Trump appointee, dissents and would grant a partial stay, finding the injunction to be, itself, overly broad to achieving the goal of protecting the plaintiff’s rights.
