   Oh, this is going to be amazing.

   Judge Emmet Sullivan is opening up the Flynn case to briefs from interested parties (amici curiae).

   One of them will come from 16 former Watergate prosecutors. Who else will contribute?

   Should be a symposium on the rule of law. https://t.co/pkWgvChaZb

   Breonna Taylor was only 26, and one of the heroes America is lifting up right now. She was an EMT working to save lives during this pandemic. But police shot her eight times in her apartment on March 13. @emarvelous spoke with her mother and her sister. https://t.co/qnHvCK5IHY

   "Temporary" closures are becoming permanent.

    I stopped watching these weeks ago. Trump is so accustomed to his Klan rallies he doesn’t know how to speak to intelligent people. And I agree that it’s dangerous to allow him to say anything.

    What’s the justification for cable networks broadcasting Trump’s daily briefings?

    These aren’t news briefings. Trump uses them to spout dangerous lies, peddle unhinged conspiracy theories, and attack reporters that dare to challenge him.

    Boycott the propaganda.

    Can’t even tell you how many times I’ve done this when I’m out walking my dog. If a house is for sale in the neighborhood and I know it’s vacant, I often look in the windows. So what? Everyone does it. But because the guy was black, the white supremacists saw it as an opportunity for a thrill kill.

    There are at least 60 members of the secret service who are self-quarantining right now. Obviously, not all secret service members work at the WH, but 1600 Pennsylvania is quickly becoming a COVID hotspot.
