“Cuccinelli said there is inadequate capacity at health care facilities to bring large numbers of passengers ashore for quarantine, leading lawmakers to question if authorities would again seek to quarantine COVID-19 cases on board a ship held offshore.” washingtonpost.com/travel/2020/03…
“Cuccinelli insisted authorities’ actions in this case will be far more effective than the response given to the ‘viral disaster’ which was the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan.”

(Reminder: This is Ken Cuccinelli we’re talking about here).

“Birx now becomes the third person to be designated as the administration’s primary coronavirus official.

Trump said that ‘Mike is going to be in charge.’

Pence said it will be Birx.

Meanwhile, Azar remains chair of the coronavirus task force.” nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country’s leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance.”

nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“The decision to put Mr. Pence in charge was made on Wednesday after the president told some people that the vice president didn’t “have anything else to do,” according to people familiar with the president’s comments.”

Ah. Well then.

“Mr. Pence’s slow and ideological response was widely panned for a reason: Pence got it backward. It became a case study in what not to do in the face of a public-health emergency.” msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
“As governor, Pence came under fire for resisting the CDC's urging to allow clean needles to be distributed because of his conservative, religious beliefs. But after mounting pressure from health officials and praying on it, he eventually relented.”

"Based on Pence’s response to the HIV outbreak in Indiana — 200 infections that could have been prevented if that response had been earlier — that concerns me...We’re already getting a lot of mixed signals. The public needs to be reassured right now."

In the first place, the NYT article does not say what blown up left mass media and twitters says the article says. I read it. The article reports “officials” have a view Russia “favors Trump.” Reports he was angry that Schiff would “weaponize the interpretation intelligence=
interpretation of IC info delivered by Maguire, which Schiff, left media wasted little time leaking? weaponizing into “collusion” within one day of Maguire’s replacement with Grenell; the briefing happened LAST WEEK, according to NPR, which I link here: washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
And I quote from the NPR article: “The intelligence official’s analysis and Trump’s furious response ruined Maguire’s chances of becoming the permanent intelligence chief, according to people familiar with the matter[😂-me not NPR], who, like others, spoke on condition of=

😂😂😂😂😂😂 RUSSIAAAAAAAAAAA
LOL this article is such a mess of garbage.

(L) "Republicans have long argued that Moscow’s campaign was designed to sow chaos..."

Four paragraphs later....

(R) "Russian intelligence has long sought broadly to sow chaos among adversaries around the world."
😂 this paragraph, buried halfway down the article, is especially hilarious.

"... last week’s briefing did contain what appeared to be new information..."

So it's literally just more Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theories and no real evidence of anything. Hilarious.

💥#Russia is AGAIN interfering in our election—supporting Trump’s 2020 campaign, intelligence officials said in House briefing last week. Trump freaked & dumped DNI Maguire for unqualified FoxNews hack Grenell. Of course the cheat needs Putin’s help again. nytimes.com/2020/02/20/us/…
‼️GOP ally (Nunes?) told Trump an intel briefing to House Intelligence Cmte said #Russia was interfering in 2020 for Trump. Trump freaked, upset that Dems heard the truth—that Russia's helping him cheat AGAIN!! So he named Grenell DNI to keep the truth from Congress & the public!
#Russia's already interfering for Trump, IC warns. But the guy who lied & covered up Putin's 2016 attack is shutting up the intelligence about 2020. And GOP refuse to secure our elections. This isn't about Trump's ego. This is about cheaters suppressing the truth, to cheat again.

NEW: @PressSec says as of today, @POTUS "designated United States Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as Acting Director of National Intelligence...He is committed to a non-political, non-partisan approach as head of the Intelligence Community"
@PressSec @POTUS Developing: Soon-to-be acting director of US national intelligence @RichardGrenell confirms he will not be taking the job permanently... teases announcement of a permanent intel chief soon
@PressSec @POTUS @RichardGrenell Temporary though it may be, more criticism for @POTUS tapping @RichardGrenell as acting DNI

“If there was any doubt that Donald Trump values unquestioning obedience over the safety of the American people, this appointment settles the question" per Democratic Senator @RonWyden

.@RepLloydDoggett, a leading critic of lifting sanctions on OLEG DERIPASKA's companies, called it “just one more step in undermining the sanctions law, which President TRUMP has obstructed at every opportunity, while Russian aggression remains unabated.” nytimes.com/2019/01/27/us/…
UPDATE: After @USTreasury lifted sanctions against OLEG DERIPASKA's companies, the main one (EN+) named 7 new directors, including Chris Burnham, who served on TRUMP's transition team & worked for @AmbJohnBolton at United Nations. nytimes.com/2019/01/27/us/… documentcloud.org/documents/5696…

🌊🗳️#Democratic Americans—the ones who are standing up for Democracy—have gone to "extraordinary lengths" to promote candidates and get out the vote. They've:

▶️Quit jobs
▶️Delayed school
▶️Moved across country
▶️Worked without pay

To stand up for Democracy and their country.
🙌👊Thank you to all of them.

@nytimes: Their zeal speaks to the historic political moment, in which a dizzying array of House races across the country have begun to feel as consequential as a presidential election.

nytimes.com/2018/11/05/us/…
💥💥Swing Left @swingleft reported that they knocked on more than one million doors!!!
