Biden says getting rid of Trump is key to improving income inequality. Hasn't income inequality gone down a bit under Trump (due mainly to hot economy)–at least until virus hit?

This is just the traditional union position. The unions were Democratic when they held it. And I'm not sure swing voters are for big guestworker programs, especially for unskilled. (You may have numbers. Would like to see them!) https://t.co/KqnmLBoONv

Biden now attacking Sanders for the few sensible things he once said about foreign guestworkers hurting US workers.

"Only felons get deported and everyone else is safe." That's the Biden position (he said yes to it). Sneak across the border and you're home free, which is a huge incentive/invitation to sneak across the border.

Fauci actually doesn't mention it at all, even prompted. Seems to be all @chuckTodd's idea (though maybe someone suggested it to him). Might be a good one! But Fauci just generally supportive of erring on side of aggressive measures. https://t.co/Q90flcGTIO

The greatest threat, right now, is not Plott's rural and exurban Trump supporters but Millennials–presumably mostly hostile to Trump–going to bars and restaurants, no? https://t.co/6yXkyOHMr2

Should've said *virtually all* the voters in @elainaplott's piece have lots of information. And almost all are being responsible. Compare their level of info with-say-the info available to FDR supporters in 1933 and they'd have more, no? "Low Information" an inapt, sneering term. https://t.co/UflmZHSlgx

Good example of why "low information" is a lousy term a) Many of these voters have plenty of information–sometimes wrong information. But they're paying attention; b) Gist of piece is they're trusting MORE in gov't officials now ("she relies on the C.D.C. website for updates"). https://t.co/GN1vKtoFBI

Doesn't give you a very clear idea what's happening at all. 1) Focuses on WH aides, but what's the regular bureaucracy (CDC, HHS) doing? Don't they have plans? 2) Why did Kushner feel he had to go with the private industry approach? Or didn't he? https://t.co/64HTnC3DS6

That's what Italian hospitals were like. https://t.co/8Wp5O025ZT Then came the tsunami. Panicking a bit now seems to be what can prevent us from becoming Italy. https://t.co/KaDZHAHZjZ

Good question. What company wants to be an outlier in terms of safe practices, arguing in front of a jury should one of their customers die or be permanently damaged. You'd think lawyers & insurance companies could quickly accomplish what government can't. https://t.co/aq3hlnTDyI

Wall Street may've been a cheap date when it came to being reassured by Trump, but Biden wasn't exactly a confidence inspiring figure the day before. Seems lightly sedated, almost animatronic. Not the Biden we've known. Would help if he could move his face https://t.co/ibrrMpqAlR
