“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."

Ahem.

"According to two people with knowledge of the matter, Parscale Strategy has also been used to make payments out of public view to Lara Trump, the wife of the president’s son Eric, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr."

nytimes.com/2020/03/09/us/…
Tell me again about how concerned the GOP is about politicians' kids monetizing their parent's name:

"Ms. Guilfoyle confronted Parscale: Why were her checks always late? Contrite, Parscale promised the problem would be sorted out promptly, by his wife."

nytimes.com/2020/03/09/us/…
"“I’m making so much money!” Parscale declared, inserting an expletive.

Parscale called the account “untrue and ridiculous,” but since becoming campaign manager, he has bought a $2.4m canalside home in Florida; two condos worth $2m; and a Ferrari."

“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.

NS: The centrepiece of this Programme for Government is our work to tackle the climate emergency.

But I must begin by addressing the constitutional emergency that is engulfing the UK. #scotpfg
NS: Today MPs from across the political divide will seek to block the possibility of a no deal Brexit.

Given the anti-democratic move last week by Boris Johnson to shut down Parliament, it is vital that this effort succeeds. #ScotPfG
NS: SNP MPs will do everything possible to stop the UK crashing out of the EU without a deal. Scotland did not vote for any form of Brexit, and having a catastrophic no deal Brexit imposed on us is completely unacceptable. #scotpfg

Ted Cruz just said that because of Trump's Supreme Court short list, Kavanaugh's nomination has been "ratified" by the 2016 election. Setting aside, you know, the popular vote, BRETT KAVANAUGH WAS NOT ON TRUMP'S 2016 SHORT LIST.

He was added in 2017. 1/
How did Kavanaugh campaign his way onto Trump's short list?

Going out of his way to praise the dissent in Roe v Wade––calling Rehnquist, who "clearly wanted to overrule Roe" his "hero" and "role model." 2/

Now for a speech by @realDonaldTrump after the #TrumpPutinSummit which, coincidently the left is calling a "Treason Summit" ... hashtag and all! 🤣😂🤣
...if they only knew... 🤣😂🤣

I have only one thing to say Democrats... #BecarefulWhatYouWishTor

PS: #EnjoyTheShow
Trump opens his speech with a hot mic… saying… wait for it… “Thank you very much” as he shook Putin’s hand… Interesting, the words “flexibility” or “election” didn’t come out at all!
Then Trump started with saying the summit opened with DEEPLY productive dialogue as he “continues the proud and bold American diplomacy. That it’s good for the world. He mentions, in particular, RECENT times where diplomacy was “left on the table.”
