If Trump’s administration used the guidance in the pandemic tabletop exercise Obama’s outgoing NSC did w/them, they would have been securing protective equipment. Instead, hospitals & 1st responders are running low & people are sewing substitutes at home. state.gov/the-united-sta…
Secy Pompeo sent US stockpiles of PPE to China, while he & Trump publicly denied COVID-19 would affect us. That’s why doctors are reusing masks meant for single use & law enforcement is going without. It’s why communities are organizing home-sewers to produce substitutes.
More detail on the advice about handling early notice of a potential pandemic that Trump ignored.

Just a little round up of stories relevant to us if you in Alabama. Remember, #SweetHomeStayHome, even if you aren't under the shelter in place order in Jefferson County. Alabama still doesn't have a stay at home directive from the Governor.
Yesterday, Jared Kushner told us the national stockpile is not meant to help out the states. Apparently he was serious. Montgomery County received 5,000 rotted masks from the stockpile.
There are grim predictions about what the situation will be in Alabama in 2 weeks due to late measures to control spread & limited resources, particularly acute in rural areas.

1/ Jill’s points are all well taken. As I discussed, people must not be released from jails & prisons absent provision for a 14 day quarantine to insure they don’t carry the virus home & long term resources-housing, medical care etc. I echo her concerns about how Trump would
2/ implement releases but the pandemic poses severe risks to people who are incarcerated in overcrowded facilities & to the men & women who go to work there every day & return home to their families. We can’t do nothing. We must have a smart, fair approach here.
3/ And, many thanks to @AliVelshi & his team, who were willing to raise this issue for public consideration. It’s not always popular to advocate for incarcerated people but DOJ has an obligation to protect people in federal custody as do the states for theirs.

“We’re providing all of this at no cost to the states.” ??? We’re taxpayers. You’re a president. It’s not a profit driven exercise. Oh, wait...
You’re not a back up for the states. Three years in and Trump still doesn’t get how this works. (Actually, he surely does, just terminally incapable of taking responsibility for his own messes).
We pause for an ad from today’s corporate sponsors.

⚠️Trump's Coronavirus Response

💥#Trump Admin established a National Biodefense Strategy in *2018* specifically to deal with any biological risk to U.S. Citizens.

#covidー19 #covid19 #covid @cdcgov @realDonaldTrump #coronavirususa #caronavirusoutbreak

➡️ Read the thread 👇
Following the initial reports from China – and anticipating multiple agency aspects of U.S. government would need a unified command structure – on January 30th President Trump assembled a unified task force to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
The task force is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

#Obama undid 60 years of Americans working to end racial strife. Together with George Soros, a program of division, perceived racial inequality, & destruction of the middle class, it introduced a gender-bending group of people who are less than 0.003% of 340M people.
2/ The overall game plan of globalism is being implemented at every conceivable level. Obama also rewrote laws including propaganda to be USED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Now we are fighting Political Correctness on racism, Islam, and the use of our own language against us.
3/ Words have new a meaning whitewashed to appear less “inflammatory.” #illegalaliens have been erased in favor of migrants or the even less dangerous, #Immigrants which is what USED to be those from Europe who came through Ellis Island. Now it includes Middle Eastern groups

#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?

There is a reason why we encourage '#Memes' so much.
There is a reason why we came here to drop.
There is a reason why they are all working overtime to build code to censor & defend against 'Memes'

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
