Every time I see photos of friends in Europe and Asia going to restaurants, going to school, going to group events, smiling without masks, I’m reminded how profoundly Trump has harmed America.
President Trump has actively sought to punish NYC since day one.
He let COVID ambush New York.
He refuses to provide funds that states and cities MUST receive to recover.
He is not a king. He cannot "defund" NYC.
It's an illegal stunt.
I know we're all numb, but it is ASTONISHING to me that a President who hobbled both the CDC and the FDA in the midst of a global pandemic that has killed nearly 190,000 Americans is still in a contender in this election, instead of being perp-walked out of the Oval Office.
NEW: AG Barr has ordered another round of changes Tuesday that he said are needed to avoid abuses of the law allowing the FBI to conduct secret surveillance in terrorism and foreign counterintel cases. https://t.co/RnGZqmyKGF
Anatomy of a Trump smear:
Trump makes a false claim without evidence. Right wing outlets promote it.
The media legitimize it by asking for comment.
Then Trump targets someone else.
Meanwhile all the attacks distract the public from the fact:
Over 180,000 Americans have died.
@MarqRobinson I had a guy who kept telling me he was a math genius. I think he was insecure that I made more money than him. And his mind was slower in most things. He liked explaining things I’d figured out 5 minutes before.
@prizzotweet My uncle got a PhD at 60something and had a second career as a professor. A friend of mine just got her a PhD at 55. Life is short. Do it.
