Fla polls

There've been 7 Florida polls** since the primary, & each has found Andrew Gillum doing better in #FLGov then Bill Nelson in #FLSen (by a net 2% to a net 6%).

(**of the state's massively disenfranchised electorate) https://t.co/NEHIoaE0Oc

US

new rules

The first thing all Dems need to do is get a firm mental grip on the new rules.

McConnell annihilated every norm of the nomination process to deny Garland a hearing or vote and steal the Court for a generation.

If you play by the old rules, you're playing a fool's game.

Yale women for Deborah

Women of Yale signing an open letter of support for latest woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh, Deborah Ramirez https://t.co/apNVQRE1yy

the victims

Ramirez spent years working for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. And Blasey Ford researched the connection between trauma and depression. That's what these women did with their abuse: turned it into their life's work, to help others. My god.

-Republicans are trying to steal $2 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security;

-The already-rich are further rigging the system in their favor.
