MY UPDATE TONIGHT: What just changed.
Executive orders and control of the agencies has done significant damage to America. That’s going to change.
Medicaid work requirements — done.
The public charge to deprive immigrants of their legal rights — done.
More judges that respect “life” but not “human lives”— that’s over.
Policies that don’t protect LGBTQ+ people equally— ripped up.
A pandemic we feel we can ignore— done.
The story that a woman can’t be elected to a national ticket— no more.
Stephen Miller’s immigration policies. Bye.
Cuts to school lunch programs and affordable housing initiatives. Gone.
Sabotage of the ACA (once we beat back the attacks in court)— See ya.
Disrespecting our civil service workforce every day. Bye bye.
Robbing the Medicare Trust Fund and social security. That stops.
Political interference with vaccine development & safety. Left the building.
Ripping up environmental regulations, nursing home regulations, consumer protections— gone.
Betsy Devos. Pack up.
Unequal justice, race baiting and Bill Barr. Find them on cable.
1600 Covid Avenue. Cleaned up. Needs a few hepa filters and a few days with windows open but gone.
Not doing our part at the WHO for moms and kids, HIV, vaccine distribution— that’s over.
Corrupt postal service and voter and census suppression— you’ve done enough.
Disregard for science. That will stop.
Bullying as an example for kids. Will end from the White House.
Racism. Structural. Personal. Public. Private. Any kind. Will be replaced with a celebration of differences.

The fight will go on but the President and VP will be fighting alongside us not against us.
All these threats to you. To us. To who we are. To our potential. And many many other threats are subsiding. Not forever, but for now.

So many things that were becoming a way of continual suppression. We must now make our way back. /end
PS. Scott Atlas. You can leave any time now. No need to wait.

COVID Update November 6: This is a grim time for our country. We may be headed for close to a 9/11 numbers of daily deaths.

What we need most now... 1/
We are already half way there and winter hasn’t started. What do we do about it? 2/
1. We need a re-commitment to democracy & to each other. A divided country leads to a prolonged outbreak.

Each 10% of people that aren’t complaint add 100,000 more lost lives. 3/

My update on what I know.

I have lots of phone calls & emails & texts & will give it to you straight & with a couple of early thoughts.

Have coffee not gin & follow if interested. 1/
The presidential is confusing, but a scenario many anticipated (including both campaigns)— if not the pollsters exactly— although that verdict isn’t entirely even set. 2/
Let me start with some certainties.

1) If every vote counted equally, this would be a Biden-Harris landslide or very close.
2) Every vote isn’t counted equally & everyone knew that.
3) More people than ever voted for the other guy than you. Record turnout for both. 3/

COVID only voters: In the last 6 weeks alone, hospitalizations from COVID are up 69%.

Whoever the next president is must make turning this around the top priority.
If both Biden & Trump said it was equally important
If both Biden & Trump had equivalent experience
If both Biden & Trump were equally honest with the public...

then we wouldn’t be in this mess.
When I got to be in the room...

I watched Biden handle crises
I watched Biden ask tough questions of scientists
I watched Biden somberly talk about loss
I watched Biden hire some of the most capable people I know

COVID election eve update: I want to share a number of conversations & scenarios I’ve been having. 1/
First of all I don’t know a scientist, a civil servant, a public health official, or a public lab head that isn’t praying for a Biden victory. And that doesn’t mean there aren’t some out there, but I’m not just talking about Democrats. 2/
If I could have any endorsement in the world right now, it would be from @larrybrilliant.

COVID Update November 1: When we lose someone to COVID there are things to remember. 1/
We have lost 230,000 people in the US to COVID, likely more, and it’s not slowing down soon. This is what happens. 2/
One of the profound contrasts is how something that has roots in broad community spread ends up in the most lonely of experiences. 3/
