Hoyer's also supporting Joe Kennedy against Ed Markey.

Given his history, wouldn't be surprised if he walks back his statement a bit after getting a call from Pelosi.

We've got an aging prison population because of our long sentences, but it's very hard to get a lot of people to care about incarcerated people (outside of for-profit prisons and non-violent drug offenders, which sort of nibble around the edges of the problem).

I don't think we're picking any governors this time due to how needed they are administrating the pandemic response in each state. Otherwise, I'd think New Mexico's governor Michelle Lujan Grisham would be high on the list.

My worries is that :
- Biden will have an incredibly meek policy if elected (even if Dems wins Senate) and most people will enjoy the tranquillity of a "normal" presidency even if it's low on content. Trying to armor public healthcare and passing a better minimum wage, hopefully ?
- Biden will be a one term president and the chosen back bench will suuuuck.
- Republicans will run a guy as horrible as Trump but savvier and more effective.

Who isn't excited to advance racial equity with public-private investment through a new small business opportunity plan, reformed Opportunity Zones that fulfill their promise, a historic commitment to equalizing federal procurement, or a housing plan that makes bold investments in homeownership and access to affordable housing?

Increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 and eliminating the tip wage would have been a fantastic platform 6 years ago.
