Emily de La Bruyère: Before COVID I said we had 5 yrs; now I'd say we have two years, if we're lucky. All representatives & all local politicians should know we need to do something about this. Private corporations need to hear it, too.

Bob Ney: When McCain died, Trump didn't want to put the flags at half-mast. At least he did it automatically this time with John Lewis.

Max Burns: America has never looked weaker on the world stage. We have precious few allies; some gov'ts won't share intelligence with us b/c they can't trust that info to stay in the U.S. This is a huge change from previous administrations.

Sarah Burris: Sen. Inhofe put Trump on speakerphone while in a restaurant, and someone else recorded the conversation. Trump said he didn't want a bill to pass that changed the names of bases from Confederate names, & it had already passed!

Alex Cawthorne Gaines: I want to see more creative solutions for our housing crisis. There's insufficient housing stock to give to people; there are people who've been on waiting list for vouchers for years. We need to plug holes in our safety net.

Nancy Bailey: My daughter is 28, but if she were school age, I would not send her to school. I would work closely with her teachers & the PTA. I think many teachers did a great job with virtual learning in the spring.

Bob Ney: If you're in public office & you run around without a mask, it's egg on your face to contract COVID. Will Louie Gohmert quarantine himself?

Paul M. Secunda: Hobby Lobby came to notoriety when it said it has religious rights as an employer to withhold contraceptive rights from employees, & the Supreme Court upheld that horrendous idea.

@psecundaWrkProf

Stephen Herzenberg: Our policy makers need to recognize where the economy is going & shape that economy so we have good union jobs while stopping air & water pollution. We have the chance to turn a corner here & reimagine a better future.

Michael Linden: We should be paying people to stay home. Unemployment is roughly enough to keep them whole but it's not enough to keep them from going back to work. Maybe instead of an extra $600/week, people should get an extra $1000 or $1200

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We're going to have to stand strong as Americans & put this virus down.

Laura Packard: Various forces prevent the US from moving forward on healthcare. If you go back a few months, we were one of the best situated countries in the world to handle this coronavirus outbreak & now we're the worst

Propane Jane: The media wants to vilify Kamala Harris & paint her in a negative light, talking about how unpopular she is--they're giving her the Hillary treatment. Maybe because she's powerful.
