Jamaal Bowman: The Left On The Move

Jamaal Bowman, a progressive Middle School Principal has scored a stunning victory over Representative Eliot L. Engel of New York in a Democratic primary, beating back the efforts of the Democratic establishment to protect a 
16-term incumbent.

Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Nancy Pelosi, 
James E. Clyburn and Hakeem Jeffries.

The victory came with the help of an array of stars from the Democratic Party’s left wing, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. He was also backed by Justice Democrats, the influential left-wing group whose other endorsees include Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and 
Ayanna Pressley. HERE

Mr. Bowman bested Mr. Engel and two other Democratic challengers, embracing progressive plans like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All.

The Plot Against America: The GOP’s Plan to Suppress the Vote and Sabotage the Election

Blocking ballots, intimidating voters, spreading misinformation — undermining democracy is at the heart of Trump’s 2020 campaign. HERE
---
The plan is to have no plan
To let daily deaths between one and three thousand become a normal thing, and then to create massive confusion about who is responsible— by telling the governors they’re in charge without doing what only the federal government can do, by fighting with the press when it shows up to be briefed, by fixing blame for the virus on China or some other foreign element, and by 
“Flooding the zone with shit
 Steve Bannon’s phrase for overwhelming the system with disinformation, distraction, and denial, which boosts what economists call “search costs” for reliable intelligence. HERE

Mayor of Hialeah Not Invited

“The mayor of Hialeah, the second-largest city in Miami-Dade County, said that he was denied entry to a roundtable that DeSantis held with several city mayors to discuss
 the COVID-19 pandemic…

Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez said he didn’t receive an invitation, but Miami Mayor Francis Suarez informed him the roundtable was taking place. When Hernandez tried to walk in, he told the Miami Herald, a member of the governor’s staff told him he wasn’t invited and couldn’t enter….’If he’s got a personal issue with me, I don’t know,’ Hernandez said Tuesday. ‘It shows that he’s a spoiled child.’” HERE

Hillsborough County Call Your School Board

Today I will be writing to all of our Hillsborough county school board members and asking them to delay the opening of our schools to our students, so that our teachers and support staff have more time to prepare the infrastructure needed to effectively and safely prepare our schools for students to return. It will also give us time to collect and assess more COVID19 data; so that we can properly evaluate whether or not it's even realistic, feasible and safe to offer a brick and mortar option. The safety of our students, teachers and support staff MUST be our #1 priority.
Will you join me? HERE
