1/Level of dysfunction in Washington right now hard to put into words. 8 weeks in Trump still hasn't assembled Senate/House leadership in one mtg/call. GOP Senate trashing Trump/House bill passed while they went home for the weekend. theweek.com/speedreads/901…
2/List of things WH/Trump/Congress hasn't done is very very long. We have so much work to do, and the way the Senate Rs just blew off the negotiations last week and are now trashing the deal is JUST FUCKING MINDBOGGLING. ndn.org/blog/2020/03/b…
3/Trump told the governors today they had to get their own ventilators/medical equipment.

THIS TOO IS JUST FUCKING MINDBOGGLING.

Media not capturing the level of madness/incompetence we are witnessing right now.
4/Last week the President told us how he was approaching the #COVID19 pandemic: politico.com/news/2020/03/1…
5/We are at the point where there really is no other explanation than that the President is a mad man who is willing to let Americans die.

1/Notes on @COVID19Tracking daily update:

Testing improving, but still very slowly. Per capita US has now done as many tests over past 8 weeks as SKorea does daily; and we still have to be at 4x current rate to match SKorea's daily rate. While better, still a long way to go.
2/Positives jumped fr 11k to 17k today. Current rate of growth closer to 50% than 33%. According to the @FT below, last few days among fastest growth rate recorded anywhere in the world this year. Not good. cc @POTUS
3/Are these worrisome numbers going to force the President to finally do something to fight @COVID19?

US has no plan. We aren't mass testing, nor are we locking everything down. Not surprisingly the virus is spreading really really fast.

1/Short thread.

Seriously, wtf does the President think he is doing?

He has no plan to combat the virus. There is nothing. The travel bans haven't worked. The virus is exploding. The testing regime still isn't working properly. The health care system is already failing.
2/Why can't people around him, Ivanka, GOP leaders prevail on him to do something, anything to stop the virus?

Adopt the South Korea model - mass testing/isolation.

Surge funding for hospitals/equipment/beds, train newly unemployed to support?
3/How can he get up there each day on TV and pretend like he is doing something when we all know he isn't? What is going on in the heads of those who in the WH? Do they understand that each day he does nothing more people will die, the economy/society will be more harmed?

1/Helpful thread, thanks @ClaraJeffery.

So today Trump finally launched a response to #COVID19 crisis.

These steps are 6-8 weeks late, but they are welcome and essential. The US government is finally waking up and doing its part.
2/I am grateful to all of you who joined us in making the case for many things Trump rolled out today.

But Congress cannot rest now - it must create some form of new partnership w/POTUS to make sure he follows through, continues to fight.
3/Things are going to get very bad here in the first wave of the virus in the coming weeks. While we are beginning to tackle the bed/equipment issue, we still need to fix whatever has gone wrong w/testing and also surge help to health care professionals/hospitals.

Welcome to the Pennsylvania member of Congress Tracking Report for the week ending March 22, 2020. We are doing things a bit differently this week. All of our content centers on the #COVID19 #coronavirus pandemic.
#MoCTrack 1/28
demcastusa.com/2020/03/22/pen…
First up, we have a recap of HR 6201, the #FamiliesFirst bill that was passed on Wednesday by the Senate and signed into law.
#MoCTrack 2/28
npr.org/2020/03/19/818…
If you have a chance, check out the #MoCTrack recap of the #FamiliesFirst action in the Senate. There were three attempts to amend the bill (1 good, 2 awful), and it is worth seeing ow our lawmakers voted on those efforts.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

#Trump starts his “major announcement” bragging about performing a swearing in ceremony in the oval office.

PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPS, JACKASS.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump: Many mothers give their young daughters birth control for the long journey to America because they know they may be raped or assaulted.

The worst part of this? There’s no way to know whether it’s the birth control or the assaults that offend them.

#Trump is having trouble speaking. Somebody messed up his “Sudafed” dose.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
