I repeat if this holds: There is no spin for anyone else when you lose by 2 to 1 or more. Biden said he needed state w/more diverse electorate? We are most diverse. Warren’s bravura debate performance? No effect. Mayor Pete’s momentum? No more. Bernie or bust? Bernie and bust? https://t.co/s4PkHGz02H

Trump flew back to his own Las Vegas hotel each night during the western-states swing that wrapped up Friday, rather than in the other cities he was actually visiting. That likely cost taxpayers $1m extra, and diverted thousands of $ into his own pocket https://t.co/znw8RJsh8p

Iran: Until three days ago, Iran had not reported a single #COVID19 case. Now we are at 28 cases, incl. 5 deaths. The number of deaths and also the cases of travellers from Iran testing positive suggests this is the tip of an iceberg. We will soon see how large that iceberg is.
