On April 8, I tweeted that there were two Petsmarts that were served with cease and desist orders in Ohio. But it was two Petcos. I've deleted the tweet and apologize for the error.
Petsmart was also served with two cease and desist orders in Ohio, but it was in a different county on a different date. You can read about it in the Dayton Daily News:

Petsmart tells me that they stopped operating the salons at these two stores after this.

It worked

3. In Philadelphia, a private equity CEO refused to let the city use a completely empty hospital as a quarantine center unless the city paid him $1 million a week.

The city refused and the hospital sits empty in the middle of a pandemic.

This is a stunning story. WTF is going on?

"Although President Trump has directed states and hospitals to secure what supplies they can, the federal government is quietly seizing orders, leaving medical providers across the country in the dark"

What's needed in a time of crisis is TRANSPARENCY.

Instead, Trump is firing Inspectors General across the government.

It's up to us to hold them accountable.
