Watch @NedStaebler completely destroy Monica Palmer and William Hartmann — the two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers — over their racist and partisan refusal to certify the election. Sorry for not tagging @HartmannDude in this.

MI @SenStabenow, with hundreds here at a rally in Southfield, MI ahead of the final canvass shift: “We’re going to remove him [Trump] from the White House even if we have to use a wheelbarrow!” #Election2020 And now we’re hearing from @GaryPeters, who’s fired up and laser-focused on the closing argument — health care and COVID. #Election2020

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

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

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

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

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

Here are some good ones we subscribe to with reporters here in Metro Detroit and links so you can subscribe too!

Volunteering this morning at the city of Detroit’s first drive-through coronavirus testing site at the @JDFieldhouse. Find other volunteer opportunities at the website set up by @GovWhitmer and @MichiganHHS here: michigan.gov/fightcovid19

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

.@PeteButtigieg, I think you should hire @The_KPM to do your campaign videos. Here’s why: (thread) Kyle just moved to South Bend from Michigan where he did all of the video for @MalloryMcMorrow’s successful incumbent-crushing campaign for State Senate here.
