Marco Rubio mistook Elijah Cummings for John Lewis in his tweet. And this is another reason why facial recognition is an enemy of black lives.

Lil Marco could mistake his face for a hole in the ground. But you are correct.

Today people talk about peaceful demonstrations, but John Lewis was arrested multiple times. Least we forget that what he and others did was against the law.
When David Ewing began looking for evidence of Lewis' arrests during the Civil Rights Movement, he was told that those records did not exist. But after repeated requests, officials from Nashville dug around in their archives and found evidence of three arrests between 1961 and 1963 for charges like resisting the peace, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
BLM protesters who get arrested and injured for exercising their right to free speech follow in Lewis' footsteps. Thank you all for doing this important work.

Guess that's what he meant about getting into good, but necessary trouble.

“...get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” -John Lewis 2018 (though he said it before 2018 as well)
Don’t you just love that quote ? Rest well, John Lewis

If we could but recognize our common humanity, that we do belong together, that our destinies are bound up in one another's, that we can be free only together, that we can be human only together, then a glorious world would come into being where all of us lived harmoniously together as members of one family, the human family. -Desmond Tutu

Still feeling so sad over John Lewis. I do miss Elijah Cummings as well. They were both such stalwart men. I'll never forget Elijah's " come on man" which tended to highlight the frailty of a argument or a statement usually made by the other side. But I really revere John Lewis. He never lost his principle's and never would have. These men, many of them have some battle scars and they WON the right to be my hero's -- no matter what party etc. Rest in power and peace.

Jackie, I join you in mourning the loss of John Lewis. Such a principled guy--and TOUGH! He meant business! Elijah Cummings was my Representative...I liked how he kept at DT over emoluments etc....hope the day comes THOSE are dealt with finally--but, hey, just booting DT out of office would be enough for me....The House won't shine nearly as brightly with those two towering figures gone....

Welcome "home" Jackie! I just posted to FB the interview Mary Trump had with Rachel Maddow.... just takes your breath away.... How this "man" can get away with saying and doing anything, because his followers just don't give a damn.

This would be fantastic -- but Trump has made soooo many first things needing to be done. Let's do them.

Watched excerpts of Chris Wallace's FOXNews interview with Cinnamon Hitler today. Even many loyal FOX watchers are likely scratching their heads and thinking "WTF???" Drumpf said all sorts of not just weird & stupid but flat-out made-up crap: "I'll be right eventually--it'll disappear some day, right?" (Yeah, and so will everyone alive today). "Many of those cases are young people who will heal in a day--they just have the sniffles but there's the test...many heal automatically..." (this is so off-the-charts flip-a-dee-doo-dah idiotic that commentary is futile). "We have embers and we have flames--Florida is more flame...like." "To many people the Confederate flag has nothing to do with racism--It's about the South. People love the South. The North fought with the South." (Yeah, which side split from the U.S. so it could continue to own people, and fired the first shots? Hint: it wasn't the North). He snorted "I don't care what the military says (about renaming bases currently named for Confederate leaders)--I decide. What are we supposed to name Ft. Bragg--Ft. Rev. Al Sharpton?" (No mention about the treason committed by those leaders). He is threatening to veto any coronavirus relief bill--including earmarks for testing & contact tracing--that calls for renaming the bases. Call it wishful thinking, but could we soon see the Senate's first veto override in years?
I woke a bit braver today, Trill: my CT scans came back negative for mets of any kind. I will definitely sleep better tonight, knowing that this tumor will start getting the crap burned out of it 2 weeks from tomorrow.

I posted the con man meme above, but I recently read Trump's supporters don't care if he is presidential.
There are so many comments on social media of people who believe the coronavirus conspiracy that say,"It will be gone after Nov 3" because they think it was concocted to prevent Trump getting reelected.
My husband surprised me again. We were casually watching the news and a short clip was shown of Obama with John Lewis and dh out of the blue said, “Yeah, I didn't think much of Obama before but now I can see how much class he had as president because of how bad Trump is." I don't think I ever heard dh describe anyone as having class.

Hooray Sandy. Glad to hear that your dodging the bad stuff -- but at our age we do get stuff, don't we ???
Divine -- loved the memes. The hard line Trumpers really don't care I don't think, but I have wondered if the covid creeps in on enough of them if that will make a difference. I am truly amazed that anyone would think we Dems could come up with Covid 19 to destroy Trump. That is truly idiotic.
I have heard it said ( not so much amid everyday people, but more with those in politics that Trump makes Obama look so vey good by the way he tries his best to drag him down. I think the difference in education among other things has made such a difference between Trump and Obama. Both the Obama's were I think far better WH residents, far better parents and did so much to try and make things better for everyone. Hats off to your DH for seeing what so many of us have seen and appreciated about Pres. Obama and Michelle.

1 big thing: Scoop — Trump's license to skirt the law
Photo illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios. Photo: Mark Wilson/Getty Images
President Trump and top White House officials are privately considering a controversial strategy to act without legal authority to enact new federal policies — starting with immigration, administration officials tell me and Axios' Stef Kight.
Why it matters: The White House thinking is being heavily influenced by John Yoo, the lawyer who wrote the Bush administration's justification for waterboarding after 9/11.
Yoo detailed the theory in a National Review article, spotted atop Trump's desk in the Oval Office, which argues that the Supreme Court's 5-4 DACA ruling last month "makes it easy for presidents to violate the law."
- The president has brought up the article with key advisers, two Trump administration officials tell Axios.
Yoo writes that the ruling, and actions by President Obama, pave the way for Trump to implement policies that Congress won't.
- Some could remain in force for years even if he loses re-election.
- Yoo — who next week will be out with a new book, "Defender in Chief," on Trump's use of presidential power — tells Axios that he has met virtually with White House officials about the implications of the ruling.
What's next: The first test could come imminently. Trump has said he is about to unveil a "very major" immigration policy via executive order, which he says the Supreme Court gave him the power to do.
- The order could include some protections for immigrants who traveled to the U.S. illegally as children, something most Americans support.
- That could be a political olive branch to Latino voters, though the Trump administration moved to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which led to the Supreme Court's involvement.
- The order could also include significant new restrictions on immigration that couldn't get through Congress but are favored by the president, Jared Kushner and hardline adviser Stephen Miller.
Driving the news: Yoo told Axios that Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion "sets out a roadmap about how a president can use his prosecutorial discretion to under-enforce the law."
- The recourse would be if the next president tries to reverse what's set in motion.
- "Even if Trump knew that his scheme lacked legal authority," Yoo wrote for the National Review, "he could get away with it for the length of his presidency. And, moreover, even if courts declared the permit illegal, his successor would have to keep enforcing the program for another year or two."
Reality check: This is a somewhat strained reading of both procedural history and the law, according to Axios' Sam Baker.
- But the Supreme Court wouldn't be able to decide the merits of anything Trump does before the election.
- Two administration officials told Axios that although the president has shown an interest in Yoo's thinking, the White House wouldn't rely solely on that.
- "You have to act in good faith, and think that what you're doing is good and legal," one official said.
- "It's very much in dispute as to whether or not the president has that much control over immigration through executive order," a second official said.
What we're watching: Trump told Chris Wallace in an interview for "Fox News Sunday" that in addition to replacing DACA with "something much better," he's also going to be unveiling a health care plan within two weeks "that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do."
- The White House declined to comment for this story.

I think all numbers ( while these are great to see and what I would expect ) having to do with the election should be viewed with caution.
