Stuck in his basement, Biden has suddenly found himself, late in life, trying to adapt from his beloved retail politics to unsatisfying e-tail politics. If he can even be heard over the honking birds in the background, that is. ⁦@poniewozik⁩ https://t.co/48o0TYPyNv — PolitiTweet.org

Trump may not consider church essential to his personal life but it may be to his political future. And so he waded into the culture wars by demanding that states allow places of worship to reopen “right away” and threatening to overrule any that defy him. https://t.co/7LRJYn1AGx — PolitiTweet.org

The new White House press secretary seems to be under the illusion that she gets to direct White House reporters to pose distorted questions that she dictates to the president's political opposition and then take roll on whether they comply. #NotHowItWorks — PolitiTweet.org

Why is Russia's reported death rate from the coronavirus so much lower than in the US or UK? One reason may be that one out of every three doctors surveyed say they have been told to attribute deaths by covid-19 to another disease. https://t.co/nOcKFdq92R — PolitiTweet.org
