White House is now setting the goal posts at 100-200K dead as a good job.

That is 2-4 times the US casualty rate in the Vietnam War.
To repeat, we're about to lose 2-4 times as many Americans as we did in the entire 19-year Vietnam War, and we're going to do it in about 3 months.
And STILL Trump won't issue a uniform national stay-at-home order.

Why not? Because he doesn't want to admit he was wrong about that too.

I like @benyt's analyses on well, anything, but this feels like it's really bending over backward to cast @BilldeBlasio in a far better light than his arrogant, tone-deaf, and detrimental to public health record on COVID deserves nytimes.com/2020/04/01/bus…
I do agree that @NYGovCuomo's good press conferences now are overshadowing the meh leadership he showed before the shit really hit the fan and that Americans should really be looking to @LondonBreed @GavinNewsom @GovInslee and others for what fast and clear action really was/is.
In conclusion, this

Q: "police are reporting a record number of calls about domestic violence."
Trump: "Mexican violence?"
Q: "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE."

OMFG
Yes, this really happened:
He's briefly so obviously excited to talk about "Mexican violence" and then shows his obvious disinterest in discussing "domestic violence."

1/This piece by @jameswest2010 and the accompanying @MoJoPodcast is truly outstanding. James discusses his own bout with COVID and why outdated FDA rules block him from participating in trials to see if plasma from the recovered could help the direly ill: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ But James also talks to pioneering AIDS activist Dr @peterstaley—who's good friends with DR Fauci—about the FDA ban on "gay" plasma and why that's so dumb. How to turn anger into action. And also there's some good dish/analysis of Dr Birx podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-b…
3/ It's among our best episodes of the @MoJoPodcast if you listen you'll learn a lot about emerging therapies and old prejudices.

My first introduction to the Vietnam War was a book I read when I was 15 that sparked a love for military history.

That book was "The Cat from Hue" by John Laurence.

I found it both fascinating and deeply disturbing.

#Vietnam #War #USA #Freedom
About the book:

"John Laurence, a young television reporter for CBS news, was sent to the front to cover the Vietnam War in 1965. Though barely surviving some situations, Laurence would go on to serve two additional “tours of duty”."
"It is this experience, along with personal reflection and commentary on the social and political arenas of Vietnam and the US that would later be collected in The Cat from Hue."

#NOW: Hundreds have taken to the Capitol steps demanding witnesses be allowed to testify in the Senate’s impeachment trial. Three warnings from the Capitol police are up and arrests are about to start. Leading them is Rev. William Barber.

#SwarmTheCapitol
The view from up top before the cops declared an unlawful assembly. Might be the first time I’ve seen an impeachment-related protest fill the whole approach to the Capitol’s east lawn. Though only a few dozen are risking arrest, the rest backed off.

#SwarmTheCapitol
Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution (aka the impeachment process) in gigantic banner form, unfurled in the shadow of the Capitol rotunda - and quickly seized by the police.

Book I’ve Been Warned About: Check

This is the thread where I’ll post comments as I go. If you’d rather not go on this journey with me, now is the time to mute this tweet and all that may follow.
My pattern seeking brain is already fixating on how HOUSE is always in purple in the cover and interior fold (yes I read it I READ EVERYTHING). The fact that I’m wondering “IS THIS IMPORTANT SHOULD I NOTE THIS???” Probably does not bode well for me.
IT’S EVEN IN THE REVIEW QUOTES DON’T DO THIS TO ME BOOK MY DETAIL BRAIN IS SO HUNGRY I KEEP IT CAGED IN A BOX DON’T FEED IT DON’T ENCOURAGE IT THIS BEAST WILL CONSUME ALL IN REACH EVEN REASON

John McCain is the biggest RINO in the Senate. He needed to be tossed ass-first out of there long ago.

And don't @ me about him being a war hero. That's irrelevant.

I knew it was NEVER just the *Democrats* who wanted to weaponize federal agencies to go after Tea Party groups. The RINO's / elite GOP class in Congress knew we were coming after THEM too.

In case you never read it, see the next tweet about my most important column ever.
'The Brutal Truth: The Conservative Movement Is Leaderless' was written by me in Feb. 2016, when I was still staunchly Never Trump.
