.@SenSchumer says he & @SpeakerPelosi tried to call VP @Mike_Pence to tell him to pursue removal of Trump from office under the 25th Amendment, but Pence's office kept them on hold for 20 minutes & then said Pence was not going to take the call.

“The ac­tion, by more than half the Re­pub­li­can mem­bers of the House and al­most a quar­ter of GOP sen­a­tors, may rank among the most cyn­i­cally con­trived, morally contemptible, soul-cor­rupt­ing acts of po­lit­i­cal de­gen­er­acy ever at­tempted. “ wsj.com/articles/an-awesome-…

Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy. What does this mean for the nation's political-economic divide? brook.gs/2JOncBT via @BrookingsInst
As a land use planner, I love this explanation of the vote distribution across the US. Maps are often used crudely and can be unintentionally deceptive. teapawt.net/BettinaForget/status/1…

A new study in @Nature: Right now, 49% of Americans wear masks in public. If we get this up to 85%, we would save 95,000 people. What if 95% of Americans wear masks? We'd save 129,000 lives. This is not about politics. It's a public health imperative. nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

America has a housing crisis. The homeownership rate for young adults is at a multidecade low, and about a quarter of renters send more than half their income to the landlord. Homelessness is resurgent, eviction displaces a million households a year... nytimes.com/2020/02/13/busin…
