I mean, @andrewcuomo is SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS than @realDonaldTrump.
It’s important that Cuomo is important that Cuomo is keeping the courts open for ESSENTIAL services (crime justice, family law) but not for the general litigious bs
Coronavirus is NOT an excuse to arrest people and hold them without trial.
Yes. Cuomo is talking about expanding SNAP!! That’s so important right now. But the @GOP won’t let us.
Now asking for help from the feds to increase hospital capacity.

He’s basically outlining ALL of the things @realDonaldTrump could be doing, instead of saying “I take no responsibility at all.”
It’s like lisenting to an adult.
Reporter: Should you shut down the government?
Cuomo: No, I need them.
Reporters: But but but
Cuomo: GODDAMN IT... IT’S CALLED PUBLIC SERVICE!!!

These people in Albany who thought getting elected was all about the graft GONE LEARN TODAY!

“There is a density in New York City that is entirely inappropriate.” — @andrewcuomo

He’s pissed, but remember that these past two weeks was the longest he’s ever gone in life without talking shit about de Blasio. It couldn’t last forever. :)
Cuomo: “You can’t play basketball while staying 6 feet away, unless you are a lousy basketball player.”

When this is all over, I really hope @ZachLowe_NBA refers to the Wizards as employing the “Coronavirus defense.”
Cuomo: “Dealing with hardship actually makes you stronger.”

Me: IF YOU SURVIVE IT! If the hardship kills you, you’re not stronger.

Christ. @realDonaldTrump is promising "immediate" delivery of drugs that can combat the virus.

This is freaking dangerous. There's no drug ON THE WAY. And what people are working on needs to be tested. The last thing we need is people taking UNTESTED drugs.
They should CUT HIS MIC. He's spreading dangerous LIES, dear God.
I can tell you how this is going to play: We'll rush something untested. Desperate people will take it, healthy but scared people who do not need it will take it. PEOPLE WILL GET SICK!
Later, Anti-vaxxers will cite the botched Corona vaccine as a reason to not get their shots.

Man.
"If you are going to be upset, be upset at me. I made these decisions." -- @andrewcuomo

"I take no responsibility at all." -- @realDonaldTrump
I have had the opportunity to vote for Cuomo four times in a primary (once for AG, 3 times for Governor). I never have. I have, with relish, bubbled in his primary opponent, each time.

... He's making me look very wrong. I don't mind saying that I may have been in error.
"I don't know if it's 3, 6, 9 months. But it's this much time [holds fingers close together]. We will get through this. Be a little more loving... and we'll get through" -@andrewcuomo

"It will wash through. And the stock market will have a tremendous rebound" -@realDonaldTrump

I had a follower DM me asking why I was excited and “Celebrating” having the Elite Title IX attorney’s following my story. Not wanting to get in an argument, I thanked her and said I would spend some time thinking about her question & send a message out in the group sharing my
perspective. My reasons are fairly simple! First, this group of attorneys, accused student warriors and their supportive family members following my #twitterfeed are amazing. This group together BLAZED a TRAIL & SHINED a LIGHT on #Colleges & #Universities denial of #DueProcess &
#UnFairHearings. #HigherEd Schools have been denying students #fundamentalfairness for years. So without these attorney’s, brave student warriors & supportive families determined to prove their #innocence there would be very little protections for me now as I take the next step

Nicola Sturgeon: "For Scotland, the question the #ITVDebate posed is this - why should we be content for either of these men to run our country and shape our future? We can do so much better than that."
NS: "All elections are important but this election really, really matters. At stake is not just the next five years.

The future of Scotland is on the line at this election."
NS: "I doubt there is anyone in Scotland who is not heartily sick of Brexit and the chaos we’ve seen played out at Westminster night after night.

But if Brexit goes ahead, all that will turn out to have just been the warm-up act."

In the last one week, I have been to 3 cities and at least a dozen campuses. And I am clear that there are two kinds of people out there in our law colleges. This includes teachers, students, and administration.

There are some people who have come to believe that there are no opportunities, too many obstacles and that the sweet status quo is comfortable and they can sustain in it.
They remind everyone that better things are not possible and recount the number of past failures to justify no progress. They believe that luck and privilege is the key to all success, and there is no other way we can achieve any significant success.

@realDonaldTrump has placed a pause in the infliction of a military response to #Iran's #unlawful and #unprovoked attacks on #ships in #internationalwaters and a US #drone in #internationalairspace.

His own explanation?

#Iran
#Trump
#ProportionalResponse
#JohnKerry
As his tweets explain, proposed targets for such response exceeded #proportionality. Setting aside damage to ships in international waters, loss of our drone inflicted between 120 and 180 million $$$$ in loss. Proposed strike might have caused up to 150 lives.
Trump correctly concluded that such a response lacked proportionality. That consideration is important.

Limiting our response to inflicting proportionate damage demonstrates both #wisdom and #justice.

@blueeyesgypsy2 @MzzMerlin7891 @FantasyWeavers @IDK_980 @Calenstar @JoonPearlLondon @dreamy_pirate @xhyuck @JaninaLarssen #JohnnyDepp loves/loved his mother Betty-Sue, and he's been quite candid when speaking about her, when discussing his childhood and his mother's mental illness.

There is a great deal of stigma and misinformation about mental illness, and about the terms associated with ...
@blueeyesgypsy2 @MzzMerlin7891 @FantasyWeavers @IDK_980 @Calenstar @JoonPearlLondon @dreamy_pirate @xhyuck @JaninaLarssen it, as well as, the term abuse.

#JohnnyDepp, to the best of my knowledge, had never discussed his mother's exact diagnosis, only that once he became successful and had some money, that he got his mother the psychiatric care she needed and could never afford on her own ....
