Summary
- Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is a serious candidate to be selected as Joe Biden's VP candidate so Justin takes a look at her past in Michigan and what she can bring to a Biden-Whitmer ticket in November.
- Emails about our interview last Friday and a question about why masks have become a political issue.
- Tom Merritt of Daily Tech News Show discusses Twitter's decision to put a fact check link on two Trump tweets. How well thought out was this move? Does it bring Silicon Valley closer to regulation? Is it just opening a #HellPortal or maybe even a #PortalToHell?
