I'm totally despondent. Fauci and Birx have been successfully sidelined. Atlas reigns supreme. @CDCDirector and @SteveFDA just follow orders, disgracing their agencies, and spitting on their hard-working, dedicated civil servants. /1

The Atlas Axis (@SWAtlasHoover @MarkMeadows @PeterNavarro45) are trying to shutdown testing for Trump. Fewer tests, fewer cases. Kids can't spread #COVID, so force schools open. Go for herd immunity. They'd love to protect the elderly, but don't have a plan for that. /2

Birx has had huge fights with Atlas but knows she's lost because he sees Trump every day and she no longer gets near him. Meadows makes sure of that. /3

Trying to salvage what's left of her reputation, she's rightly trying the only harm reduction strategy left to her - staying on the road, begging the governors to do the right thing. /4

In the middle of the worst public health crisis in our lifetimes, the experts have been sidelined, and the conspiracy-loving nutjobs are in total control.

GOD HELP US ALL
