Florida is closing *all* of its state-managed coronavirus testing sites at 5 p.m. on Thursday because of the potential tropical storm. They will be closed perhaps until *next Wednesday.* That's…a long time.

BREAKING: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves issues statewide mask mandate.

"I want to see college football. The best way for that to occur is for us all to realize is that wearing a mask, as irritating as that can be & I promise I hate it more than anyone watching, is critical."

“We have enough, or too much, testing.”

Yeah, no.

We are 95th in the world in having as many tests we need given number of cases.

China did 11 million tests in a weekend.

And if tests take 8 days to come back, we basically have 0 tests. 2/

My Q: You said there can be too much testing. What could possibly be wrong with testing people too much for the virus and why not give a date on when all Americans will have access to same day testing?

Pres Trump: It's expensive and the more you test the more cases you have.

SWAN: Ghislaine Maxwell has been arrested on allegations of child-sex trafficking

TRUMP: You don’t know that

SWAN: We do know Maxwell has been arrested

TRUMP: Good luck. Let them prove that somebody is guilty

Not that the Axios interview is a disaster or anything like that, but Trump aides are releasing the pee tape to distract from it.

Trump confuses his father with his grandfather, has trouble reading and pronouncing words, needs two hands to drink from a glass of water, and had trouble getting down a ramp after a speech.

So his campaign is attacking his opponent's mental state.https://t.co/g668Z3Vyre https://t.co/RVK75aR3P7

I think this is awfully pessimistic of @realDonaldTrump. I do think it’s possible he’d get a severe sentence, but there’s also the possibility of parole. https://t.co/f5r07qFen2

We’re 90 days out from the election, and Pres. Trump has gone all-in on his war against mail-in voting (with one exception).

What's the plan of attack? Let's just say he has a friend at the post office… pic.twitter.com/dWHjMR8912

So Trump is tampering with both the Census and the postal service in a desperate attempt to save the Republican party.

Aren't both of these things in our Constitution? https://t.co/llyt9Awh8n

Three investigations Barr has assigned US Atty’s to:

1) Durham invest into investigators, despite thorough IG invest
2) Flynn prosecution
3) Flynn unmasking

Two declinations by Barr:

1) Trump extortion of Ukraine President
2) Roger Stone commutation

Barr would fire Barr: https://t.co/E5NZMehIy5

Future generations of Iowans: Look closely at the face of Gov. @KimReynoldsIA. Remember it.

Chuck Todd to NBC exec: "So, you're moving my show to 1pm?"

NBC Exec: "Yep."

He never found out why because he doesn't ask follow-up questions.

I can't express how much I hope this is true. I'm from MA. I would never have voted for the Kennedy kid over Markey. Then Markey decided to join the Justice (not) Democrats. Not only will he not get my vote, I'm convincing everyone I know to vote against him.
