While getting coffee this wk, a white man told me I looked like I was going to “rob a stagecoach.” Me, when everyone (including him) is wearing a mask, simply because of my black skin. Small compared to what’s happening, but a real reminder that we’re always viewed as a threat.

I encourage you to consider how you’d respond if a friend said something similar to what Barkley said tonight. And then challenge yourself to ask the same of yourself if a stranger (or “celebrity”) said that. I hope the answers are the same. Everyone should be held accountable.

This was the first time in 16 of our monthly @engagious / @axios swing-voter focus groups that more participants opposed President Trump than supported him. More (virtual) trail tales from Erie, PA, here:

Pennsylvania swing voters tire of Trump's inability to heal the country

The last few months have proven to be an inflection point for some of these Erie swing voters.

Rep. Jim Clyburn is heading to VA to campaign for McAuliffe & told @axios the problem is that voters don’t know what Dems are fighting for on the hill. "For some reason, Democrats seem to be more comfortable talking about what ain’t rather than what is.”

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) helped save Biden's presidential campaign. Can he do the same in VA?

A growing number of progressives are calling for the House Oversight & Reform Committee to investigate Capitol Police handling of the pro-Trump mob that easily seized the US Capitol. Worth noting AOC, Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib & Katie Porter just added to that committee.

Before I had ever even met Brian Williams (& had been on his show maybe one time at this point) he literally mailed a letter of encouragement to me after I’d experienced a really difficult situation. His kindness is what kept me going & I’m so lucky to know him. 📺 ✨

Biden turned Trump's accusation that the country can't feel safe with Biden in charge back on POTUS—with a clinical reminder that: "These are not images of some imagined Joe Biden's America of the future. These are images of Donald Trump's America today."

NEW: The Dem group @314action is launching a campaign to encourage Hickenlooper to drop out of the 2020 race + run for senate instead. He‘d almost certainly win the nomination for Senate — he's favored by 61% of Democratic primary voters in Colorado.

Democratic group wants Hickenlooper to drop out of the 2020 race and run for Senate instead

Wow. After calling his company and two employees telling me he had been hacked, David got on the phone and said "I wasn't threatening you, I simply said if I hit women — which I don't — you'd be a good candidate." This is fucking insane.

To friends/colleagues: I’m sorry for not returning so many texts/emails/calls this week. On Monday I was drugged while getting drinks at the St Regis in DC. I’m slowly recovering, but feel broken, violated, and furious. My @axios fam has been completely invaluable in this moment.
