   buried in this piece about how Biden might “blow it” is this admission that reporters are dying for a closer race and will do anything to bring the candidates closer to parity. It’s a game to these people https://t.co/owS1RCcu4b pic.twitter.com/5RPUdHJheY

   Thread.

   Those of us who care about our country must accept the possibility that too many Americans are selfish or stupid for us to ever control COVID-19. That means we're headed to the "uncontrolled" scenario experts warned of—2.5 million dead. Prepare yourself mentally for that outcome.

   Run it like a business? As in, build The Wall? Repeal Obamacare? Deport all undocumented immigrants? Give corporations and the wealthy an unneeded tax cut?

   Actually, he did run it like a Trump business, straight into the ground.

   "He blew it," a 77-year-old retired banker said. "We were so excited in the beginning. A businessman to run our country like a business and it hasn't happened."

   2/7 Fewer than half of Americans have college degrees. Of those who do, a very large percentage are first generation college students or the children of first generation students, who are taught little about how to apply for any college, other than the state school in their area.

    CNN's Dana Bash: You said in 2014 that Obama showed "failed leadership" with Ebola, when only 2 Americans died. Would you say Trump's showed failed leadership with coronavirus as 130,000 Americans have died?

    Woodstock, 1969. Jimi Hendrix said it wasn’t political, that he “just played it.” But we know. His sister has said that the jacket was not just hippy attire, it was about his connection to his Native American heritage.

    Last night, in the heart of the Black Hills, a sacred site for Native Americans, Trump praised and elevated the figure of Andrew Jackson, who killed and displaced tens of thousands of indigenous people.

    Minorities are on notice they have no future in Trump’s White America.

    My symptoms began in early April. It is July and I am still sick. According to new data last week, 20-30% of people will be sick for a long time. Another 40% will have long-term damage: lungs, heart, kidneys, pancreas, more. Try not to get sick or make anyone else sick. Please.

    Other advanced countries have contained Covid-19. We could have too, but failed because of terrible leadership. But rather than asking what we did wrong, Navarro sees a dastardly foreign conspiracy. This should be shocking, but it's the norm for this gang. https://t.co/zkiFlytNtg

    What I will say is if you love #HamiltonFilm, call your senator and tell them to pass the HEROES Act, which will extend pandemic unemployment assistance for all the theater people who made Hamilton and who are out of work right now until at least spring 2021. Artists need help
