“I inherited a nation in crisis. The worst pandemic in a century. The worst economic crisis since Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War… After just 100 days — America is on the move again. Turning peril into possibility.”

Imagine, if at last night's #JointSession, President Biden allowed only vaccinated individuals. They could take off their masks, hug & sit together--just like 2019.

That would be the strongest message that vaccines = return to pre-pandemic normal. /1 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Is this scientifically sound?

According to the CDC's own data, there were only 7,157 breakthrough infections among 87 million fully vaccinated people — a rate of 0.008%.

A room of 1,600 is unlikely to have anyone infected. Testing would reduce the likelihood to zero. /2
You wouldn’t know that the vaccines are so effective based on CDC guidelines.

A very damaging narrative is taking hold: If the vaccines are so effective, then why so many precautions for the fully vaccinated? What’s the point of getting inoculated if not much changes? /3

Wow. Powerful call from @POTUS to pass the #ForThePeopleAct and the #JohnLewis #VotingRightsAct and send them to his desk “right away.” What would these bills do? A lot. #JointAddress #JointSession
👉 First, they would guarantee the freedom to vote, and take a huge bite out of the wave of voter suppression laws sweeping the country, as explained here: brennancenter.org/sites/default/…
👉Modernize voter registration
👉Restore voting rights to the formerly incarcerated
👉Expand opportunities for early + mail voting
👉Require use of voter-verified paper ballots
👉Restore the full power of the landmark Voting Rights Act to combat discrimination.

Do you have a favorite "historic precedent" for tonight's speech? Ours is that there isn't a need for a designated survivor because the whole Cabinet isn't in attendance. #JointSession

Stacey Abrams schools John Kennedy on “protecting the right to vote and making democracy real for all Americans”:

Is there any clause of the Constitution that is insignificant? Meaningless? Without purpose?
Studying for the bar exam, it is a well-regarded saw that, on the multi-state bar exam, whenever one of the multiple-choice answers given is "The Republican Form of Government Clause" that choice is always ***wrong***.
Yes, there are tricks and tips for simplifying the task of passing the bar's multiple-choice component. One trick or tip is just that: "The Republican Form of Government Clause is never a correct answer."
