The U.S. Postal Service has warned Pennsylvania that mail ballots may not be delivered on time to be counted because the state's deadlines are too tight for its "delivery standards," casting doubt on Pennsylvania's ability to conduct the election by mail.

After five draft deferments Donald Trump has finally found a war he wants to fight - against the USPS! If he had served, he'd know veterans rely on the USPS for voting, medication, and employment. We take this VERY personally, and so should you. #TrumpYouLose

Nobody Accurately Tracks Health Care Workers Lost to COVID-19. So She Stays Up At Night Cataloging the Dead.
Anesthesiologist Claire Rezba started tracking lost health workers almost instinctively. Researchers and industry professionals say the lack of good official data on these deaths is “scandalous” and is putting lives in danger. https://t.co/gWgVcbCVw9— ProPublica (@propublica) August 14, 2020

Many reject the idea that there is real pro-market reform going on. They talk of promise fatigue. And that's true if you interpret market reform as pure liberalisation. But when Mr Xi talks about reform, it is order that he is after -- and that matters for markets. (3/x)
We argue that he's trying to build a more muscular state capitalism: more market discipline for state-owned firms & more party discipline for private firms, yoking them together on national missions. A project full of contradictions. But progress is evident in some areas. (2/x)— Simon Rabinovitch (@S_Rabinovitch) August 14, 2020

“We know now, from sad past experience, that that's a predictor that you're going to have more surges,” Fauci said.
Fauci added during a National Geographic panel: “When you look at other parts of the country – this is the thing that's disturbing to me – is that we're starting to see the inkling of the upticks in the percent of the tests that are positive,” he said.— Manu Raju (@mkraju) August 13, 2020

We’ve surpassed 5.2 million coronavirus cases in the United States and 166,000 deaths. Thousands have lost family members without being able to say goodbye or stand by their side in their last moments. And we have more difficult months ahead—Congress needs to do more. Now.

I’m ashamed that Newsweek—the magazine where I spent 28 good years (1983-2011)—would publish this piece of racist fact-free legal sophistry by a dude who ran against Harris for AG and didn’t disclose it. I must have missed this guy’s piece about Ted Cruz’ eligibility.
