Trump: a surrendered War Time president.
85 years ago today Social Security was signed into law, but just last week Trump said he’ll defund Social Security if reelected.
The choice in November is clear: we must elect @JoeBiden to strengthen and expand Social Security so our seniors can retire with dignity.
This is the President admitting on national TV to putting his need to not look bad above American lives. He acknowledges what we’ve seen—active obstruction of testing in a pandemic which claimed 120K lives so far. If I did this for 10 people at my hospital, it’d be a crime.
"Let’s do this another way. Let's stop thinking our voice don’t matter and vote. Not just for the president...educate yourself and know who you’re voting for. And that’s how we're going to hit 'em."
Sickening.
Tomorrow's banner headline and front page @nytimes
To know that so many of these Americans whose lives were lost was preventable and unnecessary.
And this list still grows more than a 1000 lost souls per day.
"More than 900 doctors and nurses in Boston have tested positive for #COVID19, yet as of last week in Hong Kong, where masks are not reused, there were no reported infections of hospital workers." #PPE

Today is #EqualPayDay.
Never has it been more urgent to close the gender pay gap.
Women are on the front lines, risking their health, safety and lives and that of their families in the battle against Coronavirus.
They deserve equal pay. Period.
