Breaking: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg undergoing cancer treatment but will remain on Supreme Court.

"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been undergoing chemotherapy to treat a 'reoccurrence of cancer' since May. The 87-year-old Supreme Court justice confirmed her diagnoses and treatment in a statement released on Friday. Ginsburg said that she is managing well under the treatment and can still fulfill her duties as a justice 'full steam.'" (Daily Wire)

• This afternoon, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg released a statement to announce that she's had a reoccurrence of cancer and started chemotherapy treatment in May. We wish her all the best and a rapid recovery!

• Justice Ginsburg confirmed she'll remain on the Supreme Court, and emphasized that she remains "fully able" to "do the job full steam."

• Supreme Court appointments were a major issue in the 2016 election, with President Trump's nomination of Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh a major victory for his Administration.

What we might expect in November 2020 (spoiler: "think the 2000 Florida recount worse.")

"High-ranking Republican Sen. John Barrasso, among others, has explained that with more votes likely cast by mail because of COVID-19 restrictions, a delay in tallying the results is to be expected. Americans might have to wait a week or more after Nov. 3, depending on how the ballots get counted in various states, he said. Experts in election law who spoke to RCP do not disagree. They just expect it could be worse. Think the 2000 Florida Recount worse." (Real Clear Politics)

• National and state leaders have started to warn that results for the presidential election will likely not be certified on Election Day. States expect a major increase in voting by mail, which takes more time to tabulate and, for some states, ballots may be accepted for days after the election, provided the postmark was on Election Day.

• Experts now predict that may lead to legal challenges and a lawyer-led recount, like in Florida in 2000. The Biden campaign has reportedly built a team of 600(!) lawyers already.

Why President Trump's Twitter account wasn't hacked.

"In a deeply-reported article on the attack, The New York Times writes that Trump’s Twitter account has extra protection after 'past incidents,' citing two anonymous sources — a senior White House official and a Twitter employee." (The Verge)

• Amidst the widespread, high-profile Twitter hacks on leaders like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and others, President Trump's account remained secure.

• That's likely because the President's account "has extra protection," which seems sufficient to have prevented an account take-over. Those extra security details were not revealed by Twitter, but it's some comfort for Americans to know they exist!

Is it still a convention if no one is there?

"In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Democratic Party officials have instructed members of Congress and delegates to skip in-person attendance at their national convention, The New York Times reported Thursday." (The Hill)

• The Democratic National Committee has already delayed its convention (originally scheduled for this week) and downsized it to a smaller venue.

• Now the DNC announced that neither Members of Congress nor delegates should attend the event in-person. Joe Biden will reportedly fly in and out of Milwaukee for an acceptance speech, but it's unclear who will be in the audience.

• Conventions play an important role in the national news cycle (when all eyes are on party headliners) and in generating enthusiasm among attendees. It's unclear how this year's all-virtual event will affect Democratic delegates and supporters.
