1) The biggest purveyors of this talking point are Carlson’s colleagues.
2) Lest you think that Carlson is the reasonable voice here, he’s been floating that coronavirus was made in a Chinese lab mediamatters.org/martha-maccall…
We need more reporting on which Fox shows the president has been watching for coronavirus info. FWIW I’ve only seen one Tucker livetweet since January 1.
It's all just picking your poison with the Fox News cabinet's influence on the president. With coronavirus, this is going to get people killed. mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…

I've been studying the Fox-Trump feedback loop since 2017. With coronavirus, it's going to get people killed. mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…
Fox has been telling Trump that his has been doing a great job responding to coronavirus, that the fears of the disease are overblown, and that the real problem is Democrats and the media politicizing the epidemic to prevent Trump’s reelection.
Trump, in turn, “has undermined his administration’s own efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreak — resisting attempts to plan for worst-case scenarios, overturning a public-health plan upon request from political allies and repeating only the warnings that he chose to hear."

Trump's lie that he will protect Social Security and Medicare came shortly after DNC spox @XochitlHinojosa pointed out that he said last night during Fox's town hall he would cut entitlements.

Left, Fox's America's Newsroom, 9:48 a.m.
Right, Trump, 10:08 a.m.
Notice that the Fox anchor frames this as a duel between Biden and Sanders over Social Security, pretending that it just came out of nowhere rather than emerging in direct response to what the president said on her network the previous night. Total propaganda.
Left, Fox's America's Newsroom, 10:23

"He has gone from the spotlight to the sidelines"

Right, Trump, 10:38 a.m.

1. With two of the subpoenas for @realDonaldTrump's financial records likely to make their way to #SCOTUS in the next 36 hours, I wanted to put together a detailed #thread walking through where we are and what happens next.

Apologies in advance, but this is going to get nerdy.
2. The first case is Trump v. Vance, arising out of a subpoena issued to Mazars by New York County (Manhattan) District Attorney Cyrus Vance. In that case, the President has asked the federal courts to issue an injunction barring Mazars from complying with a _state_ subpoena.
3. The district court refused to issue the requested injunction. Last Monday, the federal appeals court affirmed that decision, almost entirely because it concluded that President Trump did not have a substantial "likelihood of success on the merits."

It has been suggested that Private Equity firm KKR is responsible for #CafeCoffeDay founder #VGSiddhartha's suicide.

The firm has come under scanner in our research in many aspects of National Security as well.

Here is a thread on the various operations of KKR in India
As per the report MO of foreign PE firms like KKR is to borrow money from Indian Banks at 8-9% and then lend it to Indian businesses at a whopping 20-25% - the high rates of interest makes it difficult for native business to survive or remain profitable to repay the lenders.
KKR is the second largest foreign PE investor in #CCD with 6.07% (1.28 crore shares) after selling approx 4.25% in Feb 2018, making at the time 10.3%. Foreign investors together hold 22.35% stake in #CafeCoffeeDay valued at Rs 724 crore.

ICYMI: #Trump Sold Out US Farms to #Putin who profits from Tariffs & Supplies China ALL it Needs

This is market share, farmland & Treasury the US will NEVER get back. Not to mention, Democracy handed over to Foreign Powers.

#Putin Gives Thanks: US Surrendered the ME & US Farmers

Putin said on Wednesday, Russia would supply soy beans & poultry meat to China because the US had effectively 'given up' on that market.

No, the US Farmer was SOLD OUT.

China buys Bankrupt US Farms to cut out the middleman & compete in US Food Supply. Specifically, Alibaba is targeting Walmart.

#Trump & Bankers describe these foreclosure steals as 'good business' just like Wilbur Ross' US mortgage crisis.
