Vote Democrat in 2020 to strengthen the Affordable Care Act, Social Security, and Medicare.

Vote Republican in 2020 to gut Social Security and Medicare.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Coronavirus outpaced SARS and Ebola in its first 55 days to sicken 81,000+ people worldwide.

President* Trump appears to prioritize protecting markets over protecting lives.

PLEASE wash your hands often...

President* Trump says coronavirus is a hoax.

Coronavirus shows us that President* Trump is a hoax, too.

Mike Pence touches his face and shakes hands too much to lead a #COVID19US crisis response.

If you have the bad luck of being near Pence, don’t shake hands, don’t touch your face, and WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN.

More #COVID19US Best Practices:

🔹 Wash your hands often

🔹 Don’t touch your face

🔹 Clean your screens

🔹 Listen to doctors and experts

🔹 Vote for someone with a plan and did not fire the U.S. pandemic response team in 2018

#COVID19US Best Practices:

🔹 DO NOT SHAKE HANDS

🔹 CLEAN YOUR PHONE

🔹 WASH YOUR HANDS LIKE…

🔹 Vote out the genius who fired the US Pandemic Team in 2018

🔹 WIPE DOWN SURFACES
Is it a coronavirus best practice NOT to listen to President* Trump and his cronies?

👀 President* Trump denies WHO's #COVID19 death rate — based on a “hunch" — and encourages infected people to go to work:

President* Trump’s handling of coronavirus makes Americans less likely to vote for him.

Do Americans realize that President* Trump is actively trying to destroy the same Affordable Care Act that his team is using against #COVID19?

Wash your hands like you just shook hands with President* Trump.

“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done."
— President* Trump, Feb 26

[Over 60 #COVID19 U.S. cases had been confirmed as of then.]

Why did the U.S. decline to use the WHO #COVID19 test — available early February — while we waited for the CDC to develop a test that is STILL barely available?

Whose call was it?

“Anyone who wants a test can get a test… Anybody that needs a test, gets a test… The [coronavirus] tests are all perfect. Like the letter was perfect…”
— President* Trump at the CDC, Friday March 6

"If we are complacent and don't do really aggressive containment and mitigation, the number could go way up... MANY, MANY MILLIONS."
— Dr. Fauci to Congress, asked how many people will contract #COVID19

“It is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now.”

THREAD about #COVID19 and best practices:

"I just think this is something that you can never really think is going to happen..."
— President* Trump at the CDC, March 6, defending his gutting our federal government's pandemic preparedness in 2018

“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid...”
— Valery Legasov, #Chernobyl episode 5

President* Trump INTENTIONALLY slowed rollout of coronavirus tests IN JANUARY to help his re-election chances.

THIS IS LETHAL NEGLECT.

President* Trump downplayed #COVID19 risks 19 times.

NINETEEN TIMES:

"I don't take responsibility at all."
— President* Trump, March 13, on whether he takes responsibility for any of the problems with U.S. coronavirus testing

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.

“I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money — so be it.”
Elon Musk to David Faber 5/16/23


“The Twitter thing is different, right? We are seeing in these recent years that Elon Musk has behaved erratically at times, that the biographical facts that you mentioned that led to him at times talking about his loneliness, his sadness…” @RonanFarrow


“You take a guy with this much power, who is talking openly about his sadness, his isolation, his loneliness… There are people around him who are concerned. And then we as a nation — and indeed as a world — have to be concerned…”

“The company,” said Tiny Dragon.

“There are so many unanswered questions…lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don’t know and don’t expect an answer tonight.”

“In the long haul, I think you and all these opinion shows [are bad for America] because you’re very good at what you do [attracting] people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”
