Friday, October 9, 2020

And another day of Lindsey refusing to get tested, Trump claiming he’s “healed” (oh yeah, human fetal tissue was used in his cocktail of drugs), Barrett failing to disclose information, and two good things out of Texas? In the same day? all comes to a close:

“Repeating myself and others here, but the reason Lindsey Graham won't get tested despite having been exposed to many COVID+ people is because if he reveals a positive test and has to quarantine the Amy Coney Barrett nomination could get scuttled. There is no other logical reason.” -- Nate Silver


Deaths

US: 218,648 (+910)

World: 1,072,712 (+5874)


Cases

US: 7,894,478 (+60,715)

World: 37,110,987 (+365,213)


Countdown: 25 days.


Antibody treatment Trump touts relied on testing with cells derived from fetal tissue. President Trump received an experimental antibody cocktail as part of a treatment regimen for covid-19 he has extolled as “miracles coming down from God,” even though its development relied on cells derived from human fetal tissue, a material his administration opposes.


Trump declares he's 'healed' of the coronavirus, bashes DOJ and curses in two-hour interview.


What you need to know about the COVID-19 cocktail Trump is raving about.


Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has not said publicly she would overturn Roe v. Wade, or other precedents expanding abortion rights. But she has left the door open to that possibility. — Which means she would.


Amy Coney Barrett failed to disclose talks on Roe v. Wade hosted by anti-abortion groups on Senate paperwork.


Barrett was required, per the questionnaire given to court nominees, to list the “10 most significant litigated matters which you personally handled, whether or not you were the attorney of record” and to “describe in detail the nature of your participation.” Barrett lists just three cases. — She has very little experience being a judge.


On the issue of the Second Amendment, Amy Coney Barrett seems to have staked out an even more conservative position than her mentor, the late Justice Scalia. That has gun control advocates warning big changes could be on the way if she's confirmed.

Facebook blocks Russia-backed accounts, but other sites keep churning out content aimed at Americans. Much of the Russia-backed content is aimed at younger viewers and the political left, designed to peel them off from the Democratic party, experts say.


The US is reporting more than 45,000 positive Covid-19 tests on average every day.


Trump administration kept CDC from issuing mask requirement on public transportation. — They are literally trying to kill people.


New York Jets players and coaches sent home after positive Covid-19 test.


Early voting can start Oct. 13 as scheduled, Texas Supreme Court rules. — Look. Good news out of Texas.


US judge blocks Abbott order limiting ballot drop-off locations. A federal judge issued an order Friday night barring enforcement of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Oct. 1 proclamation that limited counties to one mail-in ballot drop-off location. -- Two good things out of Texas today? Holy cow.


Justice Department cancels diversity training, including for immigration judges. -- The don’t even hide their racism anymore.

There is no bottom to where he will not travel that some will not follow.
