So, I know I’m not paying as close attention to everything as I normally do, but I have a few questions:
• Did anyone see Trump on Thursday?
• Did we figure out why Pence canceled Friday’s trip?
• Where’s Barr?
• Is Christie still in the hospital? What’s his status?
This from @peterbakernyt and @maggieNYT is an unbelievable, completely believable must-read. It also reads more like everything that I researched about Garfield and Cleveland and Wilson’s illnesses than any modern-era situation (except maybe Reagan). nytimes.com/2020/10/08/us/…
Seriously. The lengths to which the White House over time has gone to lie or at least withhold information about the president’s health is remarkable. There’s no reason to think Trump’s administration would be better, and lots of evidence they’d be worse. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
Kim Davis has her case rejected by #SCOTUS. Thomas, joined by Alito, writes a statement concurring in cert denial but explicitly calling for the Court to revisit Obergefell, at least as to its interplay with religious liberty claims.
In another rejected appeal, Sotomayor writes in Raminder Kaur’s case our of Maryland, noting the special responsibility of prosecutors beyond convictions to “serve[] the ends of justice.”
Donald Trump keeps proving, time and time again, that he doesn’t care about Americans’ lives, broadly or those close to him or those who work for him. He is a national disgrace and a national danger.
There are more than 200,000 Americans dead, Trump’s Barrett events last Saturday created the largest case of community spread in all of DC, and now he’s forcing Secret Service to be in an enclosed vehicle with him so he can drive by his fans. Unforgivable.
“I learned a lot about Covid; I learned it by really going to school,” the president says about his weekend, more than 8 months after the first coronavirus case was confirmed in the US and after more than 200,000 Americans have died.
