The idea that the White House would have a member of the Secret Service revoke the press credentials of one the nation's most prominent reporters should send chills across America. This attack on the First Amendment must not stand.

Overall, though, we've gone from what looked like what looked like about D +33 House and R +3-4 Senate late Tuesday night to what now could wind up more like D +36-40 House and R +1-2 Senate. Probably enough to merit a reassessment.

We expect these initial figures to grow when we see CMS report next month. I predict MAO enrollment will increase in 2020 as more plans create in-home help under new rules. modernhealthcare.com/article/201901…

Now is the time to tackle this—will Gov Pritzker be the leader to pull IL out of the basement on services for people w/disabilities? chicagobusiness.com/health-pulse/d… via Crain's Chicago Business

Gov Pritzker has the building blocks in place to change IL’s trajectory on this. It’s more about leadership than money.

Sometimes I feel like screaming, "Everybody knows that Trump is as crooked as a broken nose and as dumb as a fencepost. Just quit shitting around and get him the fuck out of there."

We lived this timeline of Presidential decision-making and destruction. But it is stomach-turning to see the mounting malfeasance and repeated disregard for American lives laid out and so carefully documented day by day. Will Saletan slate.com/news-and-polit…

3 key points on masks and #COVID19: 1. Masks are low cost life savers. 2. We need universal mask mandates. Waiting for an outbreak to mask up is acting too late. 3. Our government should be making billions of good quality masks for the PUBLIC. They are a best buy (see #1).
