@smerconish if we were over the Trump threat, Biden wouldn't be running again. Sadly, Democracy & we are still threatened by his dark shadow. If Congress was more effective, Biden's numbers would be truer and have a more honest reflection. 1/2.

@smerconish 2/2. Yes, I am better off now than I was 4 yrs ago. I don't wake up in a cold sweat @ 2AM wondering what Trump tweeted &who he pissed off this time. Who he attacked &who he let hang out to dry! NO! I do NOT want another 4years like that again! I wouldn't survive that!

1/2 I don't understand the Democrats resistance to applying pressure. They're good at calling out the offense but don't know how to extract a punishment. They know GOP Senators are entrenched, Trump's lawyers don't know what they're doing & the American people are with them. But

The science behind climate change is not a hoax.
The science behind COVID-19 is not partisan.
And President-elect @JoeBiden and I will not only listen to the science—we will invest in it and the next generation of scientists.
