Saturday night plans.

I have rarely seen a candidate make better use of televised Town Hall than Pete Buttigieg is on CNN tonight. Crisp, thoughtful and relatable. He’ll be a little less of a long shot tomorrow.

New Iowa poll puts Pete Buttigieg in third place behind Biden and Bernie. Way early. Lots of chapters-and polls- to come. But remarkable progress for the young South Bend mayor whose name few knew, much less could pronounce, a month ago. emersonpolling.com

BREAKING: In the absence of federal action, Virginia has just become the first state in the nation to adopt *enforceable* workplace safety standards for #COVID19. Workers should not have to sacrifice their health and safety to earn a living—especially not during a pandemic.

We're launching COVIDWISE, a new exposure notification app to help contain #COVID19 and keep Virginians safe. Virginia is the first state to use technology developed by Apple and Google to create a tool like this. You can download the free app at covidwise.org.

{clinspacy} for #rstats is made possible by the hard work of: - spaCy devs - scispacy devs at Ai2 - Wendy Chapman for developing Negex and Jeno Pizarro for developing negspacy - Andrew Beam and Ben Kompa + others for work on cui2vec

It's not just that Trump is a bad president. It's that he's a bad person.
