Andy Borowtiz at The New Yorker strikes again: Calling the Supreme Court nominee’s testimony “worrisome,” Senator Susan Collins said that she is concerned that Amy Coney Barrett is too indecisive to sit on the nation’s highest court. “When she was asked a question, she often appeared hesitant, evasive, and wishy-washy,” Collins said. “That’s no way…

Trump in swing states, desperate for attention, bringing COVID, and disinforming with Russian ads
Trump is in the swing states, repeating his tactic of 2016, drawing attention away from whatever other mischief is happening.
