GEORGE FLOYD MURDER. Officer lawyers up: “The white officer in the video has been identified by the Minneapolis StarTribune and other local news outlets as Derek Chauvin.

WE CAN HOPE. Trump’s campaign aides warn he could have Swing State troubles.
‘HONEST ELECTIONS PROJECT’ Dark money network behind 2020 voter suppression efforts: “The organization, which calls itself the Honest Elections Project, seemed to emerge out of nowhere a few months ago and started stoking fears about voter fraud. Backed by a dark money group funded by rightwing stalwarts like the Koch brothers and Betsy DeVos’ family, the Honest Elections Project is part of the network that pushed the US supreme court picks Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, and is quickly becoming a juggernaut in the escalating fight over voting rights.”

DEMENTIA. Research reveals connection to severe COVID-19: “The study is the latest to suggest genetics may play a role in why some people are more vulnerable to the coronavirus than others, and could help explain why people with dementia have been hard hit: dementia is one of the most common underlying health conditions among those who have died from Covid-19 in England and Wales.”
“TOO HOT TO HANDLE” Joe Exotic’s husband Dillon Passage parties with reality star Bryce Hirschberg on a boat: “Currently, Los Angeles is asking its residents to stay home to try to stop the spread of coronavirus. While neither star wore a mask as currently required in Los Angeles and Passage even kissed Hirschberg — so did not stay the minimum 6-feet away from each other — Hirschberg’s rep insists the star took other precautionary measures amid the coronavirus pandemic.”
