Kentucky, a state with a Democratic Governor, is engaging in the same type of voter suppression that the GOP does. The motive? To protect Amy McGrath and the Democratic establishment from losing the primaries to Charles Booker. https://t.co/lhMM1pwCW6

Two of Kentucky’s largest African-American counties each have ONE polling place for tomorrow’s primary. This is systemic racism at its ugliest. Mitch McConnell is pleased as punch. Speaking of punch, hit him where it hurts- show up! When people VOTE, the GOP loses.

RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2020
Trump has voted by mail at least three times in the past three years.
His press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, has voted by mail 11 times in 10 years.
And his VP, Mike Pence, voted by mail this year, listing an address he hasn't lived in for four years. https://t.co/6eYrbCqLCi

At end of briefing, McEnany read out viewership total for Trump’s rally on Fox, suggesting a larger audience for Tulsa. Reminiscent of when Spicer said Trump had largest inaugural crowd size because of people watching both in person and around the world.

This is where it’s been going since the beginning.
Trump and Fox and the GOP have been irresponsibly peddling thinly-veiled New World Order allegations against Obama for twelve years now. The end result was always going to be an open accusation of treason, an executable offense. https://t.co/6QmHZl3JLB

Government seems to be preparing to reopen museums, galleries, cinemas, restaurants and pubs all on the same day. On a Saturday. With complex and hard-to-enforce distancing rules.
I’m sure it’ll go *brilliantly*.
