| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: U.S. GDP crashes, John Lewis mourned by three ex-presidents, and Australian scientists keep naming bugs after Marvel characters.  Trump walks back election delay President Trump claimed Thursday it could take "years" to find out who won the 2020 election if more Americans can cast a mail-in ballot in November. Earlier, he suggested delaying Election Day, which only Congress has the power to do, "until people can securely and safely vote." "With Universal Mail-in Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history," he tweeted Thursday morning—96 days before the election—with polls showing Biden ahead nationally, including in the six battleground states. Both parties objected to Trump's idea. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the election date is set in stone, and House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy said it "should go forward" as planned. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi replied to Trump's tweet by quoting the Constitution. Biden said Trump's remarks were meant to distract from the funeral for civil rights icon John Lewis. To be sure, his tweet dwarfed headlines about the U.S. topping 150,000 virus deaths and the GDP's record plunge. But Biden may have called it. In April, after saying that Trump would try to delay Election Day, Trump's campaign dismissed it as "conspiracy theory ramblings," adding, Trump had "never even thought of changing the date." Trump later walked back his comments, telling reporters he didn't intend to change the date, "but I also don't want to have to wait for three months to find out the ballots are all missing and the election doesn't mean anything." "That's what's going to happen, and everyone knows it," he said. "Smart people know it. Stupid people may not know it." More: - There's no difference between mail-in voting and absentee voting. Election officials seldom use the latter term since most states no longer require an excuse to request a mail-in ballot.
- "Universal" vote-by-mail generally refers to the policy of sending every registered voter a mail-in ballot automatically. Only six states plan to do so in November.
$ignificant figures 32.9%. The U.S. economy shrank at an annual rate of that much, with the GDP sinking 9.5% in the second quarter from the first in the sharpest downturn since at least the 1940s. 12. Hong Kong authorities barred a dozen pro-democracy candidates, including Joshua Wong, from seeking office and jailed four others over social media posts, in a show of Beijing's full power under the security law. 2,441%. Kodak shares leaped that much higher this week, sending its market value to nearly $2 billion after it won a $765-million loan to pivot from photography to producing pharmaceutical ingredients in the U.S. Highly quotable "I owe a great debt to his forceful vision of freedom." Barack Obama eulogized John Lewis in Atlanta, calling him "a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance." George W. Bush and Bill Clinton also spoke. "Amplifiers of transmission." WHO officials singled out nightclubs as superspreader venues for the coronavirus, warning, "young people are not invincible," and "we just don't know the long-term impacts" of Covid-19. "We now know where these stones came from." New research found 50 of the 52 megaliths at Stonehenge, known as "sarsens," came from 25 kilometers away after scientists used X-rays to analyze their chemistry. This is not normal Mystery plume. No one will admit to releasing a 300-metric ton cloud of methane gas near Gainesville, Florida, in May that was 12 miles wide, drifted across six counties—and is 80 times more potent than CO2.  The future is now Seeking signs of life. NASA launched its Mars rover, Perseverance, on Thursday, starting a 6 ½ month trip to the red planet, where it'll hunt for signs of ancient life and run experiments key to future human exploration.  What's good Super species. Australian scientists are naming new insects after Marvel characters, including ones with marks or features akin to Deadpool, Thor, Loki, and Black Widow. There's even a "white-mustachioed" Stan Lee fly.  Now that you're caught up... Tell your friends to sign up to receive our newsletter five days a week.
