Bloomberg should take that $100 million for FL & pay the fines for all ex-felons

Seems that would help GOTV better than some ads

trump campaign desperation - my email gauge metric

The trump campaign is getting more desperate

I’ve been loosely paying attention to the number of daily emails I receive. It’s usually been 4-5. The last week it was 5-6

Today I’ve so far received *8*!

Ohio St study: 4 of 26 athletes tested positive for COVID-19 w/CMR findings suggestive myocarditis

Ohio State study: 4 of 26 athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 'had CMR findings suggestive of myocarditis'
https://sports.yahoo.com/ohio-state-study-4-of-26-athletes-who-tested-positive-for-covid-19-had-cmr-findings-suggestive-of-myocarditis-184819353.html

An Ohio State study of 26 athletes who had tested positive for COVID-19 discovered that four of those athletes showed signs of myocarditis.

The study published Friday was done as there are concerns that myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — can be a longer-term effect of COVID-19. The 15 male and 11 female players at the school in the study came from multiple sports, including football, and none of the athletes had to be hospitalized or received specific treatment for their coronavirus infections.

Doctors ran cardiac magnetic resonance imaging on the athletes in June through August to check the health of their hearts. And while four athletes did have findings “suggestive of myocarditis,” the study notes that “COVID-19-related myocardial injury in competitive athletes and sports participation remains unclear.”

This GOP lawyer breaking with Trump on voter fraud claims is a big deal

This GOP lawyer breaking with Trump on voter fraud claims is a big deal
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/10/politics/what-matters-september-9/index.html

There is no widespread fraud.
"The lack of proof that elections are rigged or fraudulent should be what governs the parties policies and for the President's words, and for the President to cast doubt on the credibility of the election, by saying that they're fraudulent or that the results are rigged, is simply not backed up by what has been found by the legions of Republican election lawyers in the polling places."

Ginsberg doesn't like it when states mail ballots to every voter.

But that doesn't make Trump correct. "It is a problem because the voter rolls are not always completely accurate. People move and die. So there are live ballots in those states that could create problems. In other states, absent or mail-in balloting, the process is the same between states, is not subject to the same thing the President is talking about. So the rhetoric about cheating and ballots being sent out willy-nilly is not accurate under the facts of the laws of the different states."

He said if you follow Trump's advice to vote by mail and in person, you could go to jail. "Anyone who decides to do that should look to the south of North Carolina to Georgia where the attorney general, a Trump ally, announced today that they actually had caught people who they believe voted twice -- once by the polls and once through absentee balloting -- the attorney general said he's going to prosecute them. Typically these fall away where there are people who just get confused. But the fact that the Georgia attorney general felt the need to prosecute the exact advice that the President has been giving to people should be pause for anyone who does want to follow the President's advice."

Side note: Ginsberg said there's a good chance we won't know who wins the election until December 1. We've written about that before, but this is just another reminder to steel yourself for uncertainty.

Trump admitted on tape to Bob Woodward that he played down the threat of coronavirus. Share this far and wide. #TrumpKnew


"I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down. Because I don't want to create a panic."


Uhh....panic? It was already spreading to multiple countries who WERE dealing with it properly and NOT ignoring it and they didn't panic!
