The House directed $25 billion to the Postal Service in our last relief bill. Americans depend on the mail for everything from their businesses to medicine. And soon, to cast a vote. Trump destroys everything he touches. We won’t let him destroy the mail... or our votes.

You can't have one candidate sending out a tweet to 50 million followers and another sending out a tweet to 7 million followers and expect for it to be remotely competitive. When you add the daily 1 hour infomercial every network is giving Trump it's not remotely a fair fight.

NEW: President Trump has signed an executive order and three memoranda, including a partial extension of unemployment benefits and deferring payroll tax collection — which funds Social Security and Medicare — for some workers.
BUT congress holds the purse strings. It's just an attack on Social Security.

Why are the huge celebrities important? Because every single time Donald Trump tweets out a gross lie he tweets it to 50+ million followers (30m of his followers are fake) But there are people with accounts with MORE FOLLOWERS than Trump and they're ALL sitting on the sidelines

After sucking up to Xi earlier this year, Trump has seemingly decided that making China the bad guy will give him an opening to blame China for his election loss. So he has taken actions to upset China (blame them for virus, close Houston consulate, Tiktok/WeChat, etc). 2/

Same for Iran, against whom Trump has taken an aggressively adversarial approach following Obama admin Iran deal. Of course Iran would prefer Biden over Trump, who has threatened Iran from day one. But again, this is NOT equivalent to covert efforts to undermine election. 4/— Daniel Goldman (@danielsgoldman) August 8, 2020
Because @SenRonJohnson is using information that our intelligence community has assessed to be an effort to influence the election in 3 months as a basis for his sham Ukraine investigation.

23 postal executives were reassigned today, centralizing power around a Trump megadonor. Also, USPS has informed states they’ll need to pay first-class 55-cent postage to mail ballots to voters, rather than the normal 20-cent bulk rate. That nearly triples the per-ballot cost.
