I’m no political pundit but I grew up w a dad who was a federal prosecutor & he taught me a lot & I’ve also sat a fair amount of poker w serious players & l’ll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘laying the groundwork for his own network’...

It’s kinda wild that the punditry is circling around why Trump appeared to make small gains with black voters while the Trump campaign is simultaneously trying to disqualify black votes in cities they don’t like

To soften the blow of defeat Fox's Geraldo proposes naming the vaccine after Trump. "It would be a nice gesture to him and years from now it would become kind of a generic name. Have you got your trump yet, I got my trump, I'm fine. I wished we could honor him in that way." pic.twitter.com/fM8qwFhxF6

The only things stopping Trump's effort to overturn our democracy is his incompetence and our blowout victory. Lesson learned - norms need to be codified, and right away! We cannot count on good intentions.

What I’ve been reiterating for a while- risk perception. Infection prevention is needed in all settings. “Of those who contracted COVID-19 at work, most did so while eating in a break room without wearing a mask, according to the report.” https://t.co/GhA0otjxbY
