Or it's not plague at all; it's something completely different. Whatever it is came out of a supposed bioweapons lab, so it could be something especially nasty.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Ossoff was going for a cheap laugh, so he punched down at a young female staffer.

He needs Republicans to vote for him if he wants to win in Georgia. This repels them.
Bad politics because he's smug and overconfident.
