#COVID19 *cases* are still 6% higher per capita in blue counties than red counties and *deaths* per capita are still 66% higher in blue counties, but the ratio continues to drop for each.

By Election Day, the case rates will likely be equal in red & blue counties.

Most people can't BEGIN to fathom what a clusterfuck SCOTUS striking down the #ACA would be. It isn't a simple matter of "resetting the clock to 2009" even if that's what you WANTED to do.
Re. timing: My *assumption* is that if SCOTUS strikes down the #ACA in, say, April, that they'd also put a stay on their ruling until 1/1/22 since millions of people would be in the middle of a legally-binding contractual agreement, as would hospitals/doctors/etc. But...
...as @amylotven discovered a few years back, there was an "exit clause" included in the contracts carriers sign with the government which would have let them terminate coverage IMMEDIATELY in the event CSR payments were cut off. As it happened that worked itself out, but...

📣 I usually tout the *amount* I've raised to elect Dems this cycle, but should also thank the *donors*. Many of those donating $5 or $10 may have lost their jobs, their income, their healthcare due to Trump's epic #COVID19 fail, but they donate anyway. They're scared & pissed. Image
When I created my first 2020 cycle fundraising page right after the midterms, I hoped to raise $250,000 for *all* the candidates *total*. As of today I've raised over $5.1 *million* for over 600 federal & state candidates nationally. My final, revised target: $6 million by 11/03.
That's $832,000 in 10 days, or ~$83,000/day, or ~$3,500/hour. Let's see if we can do this. I've boiled those ~600 races across 20+ pages down to ~110 races across 2 pages (1 federal, 1 state).

Damn. Honestly didn’t have the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion on my 2020 Bingo card.
Someone should check the lyrics to “We Didn’t Start The Fire” to see how many references have been checked off so far.
So far I count "Richard Nixon", "television", "North Korea", "vaccine", "Roy Cohn", "Mafia", "Castro", "Bay of Pigs invasion" and "Watergate".

MICHIGAN: John James tries explaining his position on healthcare policy again. It does not go well. acasignups.net/20/10/19/michi…
A lot of people have seen this clip of @JohnJamesMI (who's running for the U.S. Senate for the 2nd time) blurting out "I'm not a politician!" in response to being asked what he plans on replacing the #ACA with if it's struck down, as he has called for...
...however, that clip was cut off pretty abruptly, so I watched the entire segment to see if his *full* response was any better.

Short answer: It's *even worse* when you watch the whole thing in context.
