Reminder: there is literally no evidence that labor force reductions are being caused by overly generous unemployment benefits. This is a fiction being sold by a small group of right wing business interests. If that were the case, you would see wages rising. They are not.

Republicans who choose not to convict Trump are refusing to believe what they themselves saw and heard. They are actively making the choice to ignore reality.

Thinking of patients as 'rational' has lead to policies like cost-sharing and consumerism in health care. But when faced with small amounts of cost-sharing-- even $10-- patients back on valuable medicines, some drop all their medicines, and many die. nber.org/papers/w28439

The CEO of Regeneron, whose treatment Trump is advertising, belongs to one of Trump's golf courses (and Trump has owned stock in it). The company has already received $450 million of your tax dollars from son-in-law Jared Kushner's vaccine program. cnn.com/2020/10/05/investing…

White House reporters need to stop asking for Trump to make appearances. Let the man be sick and out of it instead of feeding misinformation and false hope to millions.

In awe by how much D.C.'s hospitality industry hustled to fuel protestors over the weekend. I talked to the bartenders, servers, and chefs who were out there despite being physically and emotionally exhausted. washingtoncitypaper.com/food…

It must be exhausting to hate a group of people enough to be like, "You know what, I think I'm for police brutality."
