An open thread to @chuckschumer on the Senate Dems Supreme Court strategy:

1/15

With Romney’s support, we now know Trump will nominate and we know McConnell will hold a vote on the nominee. The only question really is — do they vote for the nominee before the election or after?

2/15

The answer? It doesn’t matter. There’s no functional difference to whether the vote passes.

3/15

I just received this mailer for a candidate running for Oakland County Circuit Judge. It’s terribly designed. A quick thread to show why. 1/6

Let’s start with the concept of trying to get voters to think about a “four letter word” when they think of judges. This feels out of touch with the vast majority of people who rate judges higher on trust than most professions, and significantly more than lawyers. 2/6

But why would you start a conversation with voters by trying to connect the negative phrase “four letter word” as a descriptor for yourself in relation to the position you’re seeking? 3/6

@MISenate

Nobody is downplaying the economic distress. But it’s unbelievably dangerous for the @MISenate GOP to misstate the @WellBeingTrust study just to try and score cheap political points against @GovWhitmer and my wife. 1/5

https://twitter.com/MISenate/status/1262057432127352832

The study doesn’t say opening saves 75,000 lives. It modeled an additional 28,000 “deaths of despair” even with a rapid recovery and another 47,000 “deaths of despair” with a “very slow recovery.” Add those together and you get 75,000. 2/5

Also keep in mind that’s total over nine years. For comparison purposes, we’ve lost 90,000 people over just nine weeks. 3/5

The easiest way to reward journalists for a good story is to become a paying subscriber of their media outlet and other media outlets.

@JDFieldhouse

Volunteering this morning at the city of Detroit’s first drive-through coronavirus testing site at the @JDFieldhouse.

@GovWhitmer

Find other volunteer opportunities at the website set up by @GovWhitmer and @MichiganHHS here: michigan.gov/fightcovid19

Before your coronavirus test center volunteer shift, your temperature is checked at a tent as soon as you drive on to the Michigan State Fairgrounds. It’s taken with a newly-covered under-tongue thermometer. If it’s normal, they give you a blue dot and you proceed inside. 3/

@PeteButtigieg

VERY impressed with @PeteButtigieg on @MeetThePress this morning.

@Lis_Smith

Seeing Mitt Romney on after him reminds me that we should be equally impressed with @Lis_Smith’s Comms strategy and leadership.

I remember reading that her work to help define Romney ahead of his ability to define himself is a big reason Obama won re-election. I know a couple of her former colleagues said the same thing and that they think the world of her.
