If this was a movie, the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be the 11th hour plot twist that surprises everyone. It’s the, “Luke, I am your father” in The Empire Strikes Back, or the, “Rosebud” in Citizen Kane. It changes everything. After months and months of near constant polling data, this is the late break that President Donald Trump and his campaign have been looking for. It provides an opening to incentivize his Republican base and narrow the gap with Joe Biden. On the other side of things, the Democrats are in a precarious position. They have been in command of the campaign for months, but things could change in a heartbeat. The fact that the polls haven’t tightened yet is a good sign for Biden — normally, as election day draws nearer, polls will show the candidates converging — but there’s little definitive post-RBG polls to know how much it will impact the election. The question now, for Democrats, is how to turn a negative into as much of a positive as possible. The death of RBG is bound to incentivize Trump’s base, but it can also serve a purpose for Democrats. It can excite the blue base, as well.  Ryan L. Fox
The people of New England were definitely feeling sleepless after the team’s heartbreaking loss in Seattle in Week 2. The team was stopped one yard short of a victory as many spent the past week debating what could have been, if it was the right call, and among other things (including coaching). This time around, the team welcomed in the up-and-coming Las Vegas Raiders (feels a little weird saying that). But whether they’re called Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Oakland, they were still the silver and black and they were an opponent not to take so likely. Regardless of how many Patriots fans and media felt about their opponent, the Patriots players and coaches knew that games are not won on paper but on the field. The two teams squared up in Foxborough for a Sunday matinee as when the final gun was sound, the team in silver and black ended up adding blue to their color scheme.  United Airlines today became the first U.S. airline to launch a COVID-19 pilot testing program for travelers that could make it easier for them to manage quarantine requirements and entry conditions of popular destinations around the world. Starting on October 15, customers traveling on United from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Hawaii will have the option to take a rapid test at the airport or a self-collected, mail-in test ahead of their trip.
The rapid Abbott ID NOW COVID-19 test – administered by GoHealth Urgent Care and their partner Dignity Health – provides results in approximately 15 minutes and will be available to United customers on the same day as their flight departing from SFO. The mail-in test option will be administered by Color and it is recommended that customers initiate testing at least 10 days prior to their trip and provide their sample within 72 hours of their trip.

Williams Issues Statement on the Passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg9/22/2020  Rep. Anastasia P. Williams (D-Dist. 9, Providence)
This is another sad moment to an already trying year. A great warrior for equality, empowerment, justice, and fairness has completed her journey and has been called to rest. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nothing short of a legend and her record and legacy will prove this fact far into the future. It is fitting that we found ourselves celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, because now that Justice Ginsburg has gone to that high court in the sky, we must find our new voice to continue her courageous legacy of always fighting for the rights of the marginalized, the oppressed, and the persecuted. |
