Trump supporters can boo and say forever that they hate CNN and
@acosta
but after the cameras are off, all I see is them asking his opinion on everything under the sun and if they can take pictures with him. It's quite a phenomenon. And he handles it like a pro.
Just spoke to maybe the top ICU doc in Tampa Bay about which patients are still dying (50-70 a day) in FL and he said “it’s mostly 50 year olds who are not vaccinated.”
“People who are vaccinated don’t die.”
Direct quote.
CONFIRMING
Perp James Anastasio, 29 of Staten Island, was ARRESTED and charged with 2 counts of assault, 2 counts of disorderly conduct, and 2 counts of harassment
The victim refused medical attention at the scene, so hopefully that means he is OK!!!
A Russian foreign agent - Aleksandr Ianov - has been indicted by a Federal grand jury in Tampa for running a secret campaign to fund and influence St Pete politics and sow discord by backing a group that fielded a candidate for mayor and runs protests
NYPD now clarifying:
The victim who is punched in the video was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition
The victim who was punched during the attempted getaway is the one who refused medical treatment
Also can confirm: an eyewitness who tried to stop him from fleeing was also punched
That would explain the two counts for each charge Anastasio is facing
“You can’t imagine what it’s like to see a 35 year old person or a 24 year old mother gasping for their last breath.”
That’s another way of saying GET VACCINATED
In the month of April, 1,667 Floridians died of COVID
22 percent of them (366) were 45-64
Compare that with the entirety of the pandemic, where 15 percent in that group have died

At this point, should the President of the United States EVER be in the same room as people who are not CONFIRMED to be negative?
I’ve always wondered about the impact of eliminating the Social Security tax cap
If SS taxes had to be paid on income beyond $160k, how many more yrs would the program be solvent for?
Someone making $10M would be paying $620k into program as opposed to $9,900
Would love to see a CBO score of what it would look like if we rolled back each major tax cut back to 1981. Guessing we could stop wringing our hands over Social Security pretty quickly.

I need to say something:
There are no reporters - NONE - hoping to make you fearful when you don’t have to be
None of us want people to be sick
None of us want a bad economy
None of us want people to lose jobs
WE WOULD HAVE NO REASON TO WANT THOSE THINGS

I can’t wait to spend time with our new baby
I’ll be keeping up with the news and knocking around on here, so feel free to say hello!
I’ll see you all again in mid-November!
Played right into Trump’s hands. Here is part of the Trump campaign response:
“If he can't run a livestream, how can we expect him to run our country?"
Too easy.
The key is that FL was called early in the night, then taken off the board
Then, Gore conceded, and took it back after FL re-tightened
There was absolutely never a “President Gore” headline on a newspaper or on TV
for the younger folks, Gore was never declared the winner by any media organization, let alone the Washington Times. Whatever the rights and wrongs, that never happened. This is fake.
Here’s an example of how Russian propaganda divided Americans
We now know the word “reparations” was seized on by Russian assets as one that the Uhurus could use as “agitprop” in the 2017 campaign
This racist reaction came during a mayoral debate and sent the room into a tizzy

GRAPHIC VIDEO, use discretion
This is former federal prosecutor Patrick Scruggs stabbing a driver on the Howard Frankland Bridge
FHP has charged him with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon
This clip from this 2016 Hillary-Trump debate has resonance today, given she accused him of having a mindset where his first instinct upon losing is to say fraud has been committed, without evidence
I love you, Grandma.

Protestors march in front of FL state capitol to protest Ron DeSantis. They’re holding inflatable eyeballs and holding signs saying “we will be watching you.”
The scene is ridiculous. Media and neighbors all over their property as police are inside of Brian Laundrie home. Going on about 45 mins now. Not sure why. Cameras trained on the front door

I grew up in one, lived in one through college and well into my mid-30s.
Tomorrow morning, the house phase begins.
Well this is going to be worse than if he hadn’t done anything. What a disaster of a “rally” that was.
@JoeBiden
might need to beef this tech operation up
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PROSECUTOR REMOVED
Gov Ron DeSantis says Hillsborough County state attorney Andrew Warren has violated his oath of office, saying he has been soft on crime, and has suspended him, removing him in favor of his own appointment
Tampa police chief Mary O’Connor has resigned over the traffic stop of her golf cart in which she said
“I’m the police chief in Tampa…”
“I’m hoping you’ll let us go tonight.”
“If you need anything, call me. I’m serious.”
A week from now, we’ll finally be holding our baby girl in our arms.💕 I’m feeling excited, a little nervous, but SO ready to meet her! What did you do in your last week to get ready before you became a parent? You’ll notice a letter on my necklace in the last pic. Any guesses?😄
She insisted I take this $20 bill. Wouldn’t take no for an answer. Followed me back into the hotel and forced me to. Even after all the times I said no. Why? Because in times of need, we all take stock of what matters and how far even a little hope can go. Here’s what happened:
Trump campaign went on and on all day on press calls about how Biden isn’t up to snuff with their tech operation and then they go and reinforce the Trump narrative of their own campaign. Unbelievable.
At one point there were 2600 watching. There are now less than 2k. It was supposed to start at 515. 45 mins in, they’ve had usual warm up acts but taking too long to get to the main act.
Campaigns are going to have to learn they no longer have captive audiences!
I need to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the well-wishes. You have all really made a difficult time easier to handle. It shows togetherness and love wins.

“(Since 2008) we only have two unsolved homicides. If some friends of those victims would talk to us we would have zero unsolved.”
As someone who has battled a stutter my entire life, especially as a child, I can tell you the kind of support Biden gave to that teenager means everything
The great news is we can all help someone get through something difficult we have experienced ourselves
The Governor now has a child at the podium to say she was suspended for not wearing a mask to school
She said “the masks make you breathe in all those germs,” to cheers from the audience
The Governor is riffing now about how he goes into ballrooms sometimes with 1500 people and the servers are forced by employer to wear masks
“What difference does that make?” “How are you treating them well?”
