I fear that, in the midst of a pandemic and with brexit looming, we are going to find out exactly what a just-in-time food supply chain looks like when we are only 60% self sufficient. https://t.co/w2DYofY6qn

With Dover closed for shipments to France as a response to the pandemic, our trade vulnerability and short term risks of trade disruption are self evident. @BorisJohnson must see sense and agree with the EU a technical extension to the transition period. https://t.co/fyDa9rAYnC

Not saying our governmentโs royally screwed this up but a couple of weeks ago, when they knew about the new variant, they decided that Covid left people alone if they earned enough money. https://t.co/OqIFKHivVP

Talks between the U.K. and European Union will resume on Monday after both sides missed another deadline to reach a post-Brexit trade deal with few signs that either is ready to compromise https://t.co/DNtnEOjisv

on the transition point- the argument always was that a pandemic was so unpredictable that a Brexit extension was necessary. If things go very wrong over the next few weeks, expect that to become a very live political issue.

Painful to think about how much money was left on the table this year because two intransigent political parties refused to do the right thing for the American people.

After all this drama all they came up with was 600 measly dollars for average Americans but more fucking tax breaks for their donors. The GOP hates Americans. They only love the dollar. Do the right thing Georgia. Make Mitch McConnell irrelevant again.

Trump has proved again and again "he has little concern for anyone other than himself, scheming and spreading falsehoods" to overturn the election "while seeming unmoved by the grim climb in coronavirus cases … while countless Americans struggle." https://t.co/RW14Hf9Fs1
