Since inauguration, Trump has lied to the public 22,247 times in 1,317 days, thru Aug. 11th. The team at @washingtonpost who tracks these in a database (+ refers to them broadly as "misleading claims") reported last week they're two months behind schedule because of the volume.
That's nearly 17 lies a day Trump has told, every single day, to the public, for nearly four years.

Damn it! Typo on my part. It's thru Aug. 27th, but the rest is correct.

There are less than 3 days until the election and as with every cycle, there are folks who believe their vote doesn't matter. But if you ask anyone who was living in Virginia in 2017 + voted, regardless of their party, they'll tell you a single vote can mean everything. (thread)
New Jersey and Virginia have their elections in odd-numbered years, and the 2017 gubernatorial and legislature elections were seen as the first big referendums on the Trump White House. At the time, Democrats were very pessimistic. 2016 had rattled us for obvious reasons.
But folks were volunteering and canvassing and calling voters, and on election night, it paid off. Big. Ralph Northam was elected governor in a near-landslide. Dems swept statewide offices. But the big surprise was the State House...

This document is fascinating. The Trump White House compiled 34 pages of celebrity outreach information with details on their political leanings for what became a failed COVID-related campaign reelection effort: oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
@chrissyteigen: "Teigen is a vocal critic of President Trump"

No shit 😂
@Beyonce: "Has a net rating of 63% favorable among democrats, and -3% among Rep."

Hey friends, here's a list who I'm supporting in local races in D.C. this year. (short thread)
For Delegate to the U.S. House, it's clear that Congresswoman @EleanorNorton deserves another term, and god willing, we'll all soon be supporting her as a voting member of Congress in the next few years.

We need #DCStatehood NOW.
For the At-Large D.C. City Council seats, there are more than two dozen candidates. I wish I could vote for five or six of these leaders, but we only get to support two on the ballot.

I'm proudly voting for Christina Henderson (@chenderson) and Ed Lazere (@edlazere).

OK, so, I'm biased, but I can't remember the last time I had so much fun watching a show than I did binging @Netflix's "The Queens' Gambit". It is criminally short--just seven episodes--and I may threaten to cancel my subscription if they don't order a second season. (thread)
Where do I even start with this show's brilliance? There's so much to discuss. First, let's get this out of the way: it's based on a 1983 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis, which was published to damn good reviews. I have not yet read it, and I plan to after the election.
The plot: a young girl loses her brilliant and troubled mother in a horrific car crash and learns how to play chess from a janitor in an orphanage. The orphans are being drugged. She develops a drug addiction. She gets adopted by a very troubled woman.

Refresher:

The Constitution does not specify the number of seats on the Supreme Court. This power was left to Congress, which set the Supreme Court's size at one chief justice and five associates in the Judiciary Act of 1789. It was then legally changed seven times. (thread)
It underwent five full legal implementations:

1789-1807: six seats
1807-1837: seven seats
1837-1866: ten seats
1866-1867: nine seats
1867-1869: eight seats
1869-present: nine seats
And twice, legislation changed its size but was never implemented for various reasons, notably the Judiciary Act of 1801 (or Midnight Judges Act), which would have reduced its size to five upon the next vacancy but was repealed by the Judiciary Act of 1802.

Chances are you've already seen this tweet. It's gone viral many times. Back in October, months before we knew about COVID, Biden pointed out we're not prepared for a pandemic. He was absolutely right. But I also wondered to myself: what did Trump tweet that day? (thread)
Trump tweeted or RT'd 47 times that day. Here was his first tweet of the day: mocking Reps @TimRyan and @EricSwalwell for dropping out of the presidential race. At 8:12am.
And then Rep. @TimRyan again three minutes later.
