   I’m an ER doc treating #COVID19 and I want you to know that every second of this @IngrahamAngle segment on masks is pure absurdity.

   The same person who still touts hydroxychloroquine cherry-picks studies for her ignorant diatribe.

   I was in good shape before I came down with #COVID19 — and I suspect I might have contracted the #coronavirus at the gym, to which I was going multiple times a week. https://t.co/2IaLMTY2cx

     I was not overweight, I went to the gym three to six times a week, and all my blood work at my annual physical was normal. Here are my before and after #COVID photos (I lost 15 pounds while sick): pic.twitter.com/yWQhbSHvqF

   Joe Biden endorses Sara Gideon against Susan Collins.

   Seems dog bites man—Dem endorses Dem—but the Obama-Biden WH mostly stayed out of Collins’ 2014 race. This suggests Biden would rather oust the most centrist Senate Republican than hope she doesn’t obstruct his agenda. pic.twitter.com/IVrBmOFDOS

    A lot of folks think this…

    I can‘t overstate how dangerous it is to assume that the Trump admin vacates office if they lose in November.

    A scenario where Trump refuses to leave & gets assistance from Barr, McConnell & his base of armed white supremacists (police, military & civilian) is not far-fetched.

    Training will fix this cop? How about a jail cell.

    A Black man was pulled over in 2019 for expired tags, but a VA trooper is chomping at the bit to “whoop his ass.”

    This isn’t just bad training. An officer this prone to violence should never be hired in the first place—and should be fired now.

    RIP :(

    Life well lived.

    Civil rights leader Rev. C.T. Vivian, who was famously punched by a white sheriff on Selma steps while trying to register black voters in 1965, dies aged 95
    Rev C.T. Vivian died at home in Atlanta of natural causes Friday morning at the age of 95
    President Barack Obama honored Vivian the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 
    Vivian met Martin Luther King Jr. soon after the budding civil rights leader’s victory in the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. 
    Under King’s leadership at SCLC, Vivian was national director of affiliates, traveling around the South to register voters
    In 1965 in Selma, he was met on the Dallas County courthouse by Sheriff Jim Clark, who punched him in the mouth as he tried to register black voters
    Vivian had a stroke about two months ago

      In the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, JP Morgan Chase just posted one of its best quarters ever, raking in $4.7B in profit.

      The system is rigged in favor of the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the American people.

    2. A “trustee,” is a term with legal significance. Someone who acts as a trustee has a FIDUCIARY DUTY — in Mary Trump’s case, to act in her interest (she is the “beneficiary” of the estate being administered). In other words, they need to take steps to maximize *her* benefit 2/
