It’s Tuesday, you know what that means: T - arrest U - the E - cops S - who D - killed A - Breonna Y - Taylor

NEW: There are 3 state warnings worth issuing today for COVID. Not panic, but time to consider actions. Arizona Arkansas Utah Here’s why. There is also good news.

7,100 people just died from COVID in a single day. We can’t really be numb to that, can we?

Watch my entire response to Senator Ted Cruz about the Supreme Court vacancy:
