President Trump compared the accelerated effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine by January 2021 to the Manhattan Project. Experts have noted that a timeline of even 12 to 18 months is optimistic.https://t.co/Bb1ibQwfcs
A costless lie. It will do nothing to change press behavior. They can say that if Biden wins, he'll screw up the vaccine and no representatives of any neutral institution will say it's a desperate lie to save Trump's hide. And if it works and there's no vaccine, oh well, he won. https://t.co/zSExkTHR4l
It will take the United States far longer to see the effects of reopening than countries with more sophisticated testing responses, writes @amandamull. https://t.co/JCb0owItZR
I know we’ve played this game before but just imagine how Hannity and Tucker and Judge Jeanine and Laura Ingraham would have reacted if Obama had called a new military capability the “super duper missile.â€Â
The United States: The United States has invested in research and development of a hypersonic missile called the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW), which uses boost glide technology to propel warheads with conventional—rather than nuclear—payloads. During a test in 2011, AHW was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, to the Reagan Test Site on the Marshall Islands. The glide vehicle successfully struck a target that was located 3,700 km away, demonstrating the long-range and high precision of the AHW.[x]
Lockheed Martin is developing a hypersonic vehicle called the Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2), which is a maneuverable rocket-launched aircraft that glides through the Earth’s atmosphere at speeds up to Mach 20 (13,000 mph).[xi] Equipped with numerous sensors to collect data while the vehicle is in hypersonic flight, the HTV-2 is representative of a U.S. initiative to research and develop technologies that make long-duration hypersonic flight a reality. The United States plans to use the HTV-2 and AHW for “Prompt Global Strike,” which would allow the U.S. to launch a conventional hypersonic strike against targets anywhere on the planet in less than one hour.

The campaign also announced that together with the DNC, it currently has $103M cash on hand. The Trump campaign announced earlier this week that with the RNC, it has $255M on hand.
Trump’s wrong. And Trump’s been president for over three years — did Xi not give him permission to replenish our stockpiles?https://t.co/EFUu5sD11Q
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Michael Flynn’s Russia contacts, Turkish ops & Saudi nukes scheme were deeply troubling and lying about them made him a ripe blackmail target. How hard is it to understand he was a clear & present danger in the WH? @paulwaldman1 explains. https://t.co/0hfUT3YZsJ
Just in: The Senate Intel Committee has submitted the fifth and final volume of its Russia report to ODNI for classification review, along with “what we assess to be a properly redacted, unclassified version of the report, totaling nearly 1,000 pages.” pic.twitter.com/dEPR8FMylY

“He lied on national television.” Truckers protesting in DC say they are indeed protesters (Trump said they're just supporters of his), they're not there to praise Trump (Trump said it's a pro-Trump protest), and they aren't thrilled with his dishonesty: https://t.co/Omlidsz2Gw
