The President is in the hospital with a deadly virus.

Three Senators (and counting) are sick.

But incredibly, McConnell says it's still business as usual.

Why? Because he's one vote away from ending the ACA and taking insurance from 23m Americans, and NOTHING WILL STOP HIM.

Holy shit!!! Wow!!! This is insane!!!

"Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.
He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made."

In an exclusive CNN interview, Joe Biden says President Trump intentionally downplaying the risks of Covid-19 is “disgusting.”

“Think about what he did not do, and it’s almost criminal.” https://t.co/pa7oWYnUdU

Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?

Meanwhile, Fauci tells @davidaxelrod that he’s getting “serious threats” against him, his daughters, and his wife. He said it’s “tough” and wondered, “I mean, really, is this the United States of America?” https://t.co/DkDQWh1e14

Nazis came to her door, shot men in her yard, and took her father. The 8-year-old lost it all in #WWII and only a leap from a train saved her from a death camp. What kept her going? Indomitable will. A tribute to that survivor~My Mother https://t.co/YWinZDqS2T @NatGeo #MothersDay

As a bishop in the Episcopal Church, and an American citizen, I am shaken watching protestors in Lafayette Park gassed and cleared so that the President of the United States can do a photo op in front of St. John's Episcopal Church holding a Bible.This is blasphemy in real time.

‘It's not fair the way she died,’ 18-year-old Minnoli Aya said of her mother, Madhvi Aya, who died of COVID-19 after treating coronavirus patients as a physician's assistant in New York https://t.co/XwBRju42m2

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The WHO had produced 1.4 million tests by the end of February.

We took none of them, because Trump decided to produce his own test, then botched the development and roll out.

It wasn't the WHO that put us in the position we are today. It was our own President.

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.

Democracy depends on an informed citizenry and social cohesion. Here’s a look at how misinformation can spread through social media, and why it can hurt our ability to respond to crises. https://t.co/qnLcR3mh8A

And remember that viral load MIGHT predict disease severity. So... think of every way you can to decrease the dose of the poison ... less contact, more masking, more washing

Rush Limbaugh once went so crazy waving his arms while criticizing me on his show, dismissing me as an “info babe,” that his Life Alert went off because it thought he fell down. Cool of the president to give him the medal of freedom!

Sir Fazle was a humanitarian who helped us learn about development work: Building an efficient organization while never forgetting who you were doing it for. We were saddened to hear of his passing and will forever draw inspiration from his work, as will the rest of the world.
