Brandywine School District Board Member To Teachers: Don’t Want To Get Sick? Get Out Of Teaching.  Ralph Ackerman. Idiot. Never been a teacher.  He had been on the board from 1993 to 2003.  Now he’s back on the board. He shouldn’t be.

Trump Isn’t Even Fighting For Relief Package. Why?  There’s likely a compromise to be had. But Trump isn’t even engaged.  Tonight, millions lose unemployment benefits and face eviction.  House passed a bill 77 days ago.  Rethugs haven’t even come up with a viable alternative.

Trump TV Ads Go Dark. As in no TV ads. Why?  Is Trump looking to take the money and (not) run? Seems unlikely, but…the non-convention hasn’t happened yet.

Clinton And Trump Vulnerable As Maxwell Tapes Are Released?  8-Ball sez, “Signs Point To Yes”.

Andrew Cuomo Does A ‘Solid’ For Billionaires.  Collects contributions while killing tax hikes for the uber-rich.

When You’ve Lost The Federalist Society…:

I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980, including voting for Donald Trump in 2016. I wrote op-eds and a law review article protesting what I believe was an unconstitutional investigation by Robert Mueller. I also wrote an op-ed opposing President Trump’s impeachment.

But I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate.

Bill Barr And Chicago: Then And Now.  He surged troops into Chicago back in 1992. He’s doing it again.

Obama: Honor John Lewis By Restoring Voting Rights Act.  If we can drive a figurative stake through Trump’s alleged heart, we can also put an end to voter suppression, perhaps once and for all. 

Trump’s Vaccine Rollout Appears–Non-Existent.  The Potemkin Village government.

State Democratic Parties Reaping Financial Windfalls.  One of the ‘below-the-radar’ focuses: flipping state legislatures in advance of redistricting.
