This is truly wild. The Washington Post and New York Times both have the Biden gaffe as their top stories (the NYT has *two* stories about it on their home page) and not a single mention of Johnson saying they’ll repeal the ACA or a Trump official saying they’ll pull vaccines.

As did I. I took the subway several times this last weekend between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I’m a Mainer.
Lake: I was just in New York City. I believe that's where you are broadcasting live from tonight. The streets aren't safe anymore. The subways aren't safe anymore. Collins: I take the subway all the time.

NEWS The editor of the Los Angeles Times editorial page has resigned after the owner blocked the editorial board from moving forward with an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.” @sewellchan reports Full Story: bit.ly/3BTyDDB

Echoes of Abraham Lincoln’s Wide Awakes….
This AMAZING. North Carolina Central University hosted a “Soar to the Polls” with a marching band & just look at how many young people showed up to soar to the polls. This is why we’re going to win. These young people are going to save us.

During the next two weeks and beyond, you are likely to see on social media and elsewhere counterfeit information, misleading directions, false videos and other deliberate efforts to manipulate the U.S. Presidential election. Keep alert. Question everything you see and hear.

Youngkin: I don’t think Trump was referring to sending the military after Americans Tapper: I’m literally reading his quotes to you. He’s literally talking about sending the military after Democrats Youngkin: I don’t believe that Tapper: I just read the quote!
Trump says Americans who don’t support him are “enemies” and says they may need to be “handled by the military”
