I love #StephenColbert as much as the next guy, but I cannot bear when he makes easy, stupid jokes about Biden being old or senile. It's a frivolity we cannot afford. We're in an existential fight for our democracy. These jokes feed the Right and normalize their lies.

Buckle your seatbelt: I just heard from an impeccable FIRSTHAND source that @MichaelAvenatti 's client's claims are true. The culture at Georgetown Prep was debauched and sexually criminal.Only a "gentleman's code" keeps it secret. Ideally this is the week that it ends.

Kavanaugh said he was 18 in the summer of 1982, so drinking was legal. I just checked: Kavanaugh was only 17 that summer. And it doesn't matter because the drinking age in MD in 1982 was 21. There is no lie too large or small that he won't tell to be seen as perfect. @MSNBC

Children often carry a larger viral load than adults and are often asymptomatic. This means that once schools open, they will bring the disease back to their parents and grandparents. This is an absolute disaster in the making.

The mass murderer at the Oklahoma hospital walked in the front door, carrying his AR-15. No one stopped him. Do you know why? Because it was legal. Open Carry makes it impossible to identify the bad guys.

My friend is a respiratory nurse in a US urban hospital. A woman, recently returned from Italy, came in with all the symptoms of #COVID19 . In order to test her, the doctors needed approval from the government. The Feds turned down their request. She was sent home.
