How is that “social justice” messaging of the NBA and the NFL playing in Peoria?
Not well.

Most of the messages on the back of NBA jerseys:

Education Reform
Vote
Say Their Names
Peace
Equality
Justice
Black Lives Matter

Are these sentiments actually controversial?
Or is it just (mainly) black people saying them that is threatening?

Better than in Chandler, not as well as Tempe. But Peoria is heavily dominated by right wingers.

SCOTUS ices the lower court decision in SC that blocked the witness requirement for mailing a ballot until the case is finished, though they allowed those already sent in to remain valid.

I am posting this for the first 20 seconds. I think the bit about Claudia Conway's talking about Trump not doing well and the efforts to stabilize him might be important, but who knows? And, of course not only was she livid with her mother for putting the family at risk, but apparently Claudia is positive, now, too.

But the key point is the images of Trump, a lot closer than the majority of news camera folks got. And he is clearly having a hard time catching his breath.

I don't think he should have left the hospital, for his own sake. I hope he gets the care he needs, but I hope that as he does the truth comes out. It's important for the country.

We’d be much better off if trump were attempting to give cancer from windmills to the American people rather than Covid. We’d have clean electric power and no illness instead of his current genocide.

Trump needs to huddle with the Republican caucus in the Senate so they can all yell at each other maskless for a few hours in a small windowless ventless room. We know they all have stuff to get off their chests. For trump that stuff is Covid pneumonia.

Pretty revolting question from the Trump campaign.

Which do you identify as?

American

Democrat

They also ask this question twice:
"With less than 30 days until Election Day, do you approve of the job being done by Vice President Mike Pence?"

White House Is Not Contact Tracing ‘Super-Spreader’ Rose Garden Event
Since President Trump’s Covid diagnosis, numerous associates have tested positive, but the White House has not aggressively investigated the outbreak.

They’re getting ready to switch horses. Putin’s pony is galloping straight to the knacker’s yard, Covid lungs and all.

When Dr. Conely talks about influencing the course of illness with his comments, he is making it clear that he is actively attempting to treat trump’s mental illness through his comments to the press. Whether the treatments to keep trump breathing have further exasperated the underlying mental problems is one of those subjects that will likely set the patient off.
