Mike Pence March 3: Every American can get a coronavirus test. Our objective is to make tests broadly available to the American public.

Mike Pence March 4: We have 1.5 million tests ready to distribute. Tests are available in all 50 states.

1/
Donald Trump March 7: Anybody who wants a test can get a test.

Mike Pence March 10: We'll have 4 million more tests available by the end of the week.

Trump March 10: We have heavily tested everybody that returns to the country.

2/
Donald Trump March 12: If you go to the right area, to the right agents, you get a test. Frankly, the testing has been going very smooth.

Donald Trump March 13: (In addition to the 4 million) there will be another 1.4 million tests available by the end of the week.

3/
Donald Trump also March 13: We don't want everyone talking the test if we feel they shouldn't be doing it. And we don't want everybody running out and taking it - only those that have certain symptoms.

4/
U.S. Asst Health Secretary Ben Giroir March 21: We promised 1-4 million. There's 10 million tests in the market now, and we'll distribute another 17 million by the end of March.

5/
Trump March 25: We have tested more than anybody. I saw it. We don’t have to test the entire state in the Middle West or wherever they may be. We don’t have to test the entire state. I think it’s ridiculous. We don’t have to do it.

6/
Donald Trump March 29: I haven't heard about testing in weeks.

Total tests run in the United States as of March 31st:
Just over 1 million. Italy has tested 1 of every 133 people. The United States has tested one of every 366 people.

When you use a loaded weapon to intimidate, you are the threat.

Liberty comes with responsibility.
Those who fail to recognize that, who abuse their freedom to frighten and demand to be recognized through force and fear rather than reason and persuasion...

1/
...are more responsible for advancing the suppression of liberty than any activist or politician.

A responsible gun owner who uses a weapon to protect others and save lives is to be celebrated for their bravery and instinct.

2/
Lives saved by those who recognize the gravity and responsibility attached to their freedom are the single greatest argument in defense of gun rights.

There has now been a recession in the first term of every single Republican president for the past 111 years.

In the past 73 years, there have been 11 "official" recessions, including 49 recessionary quarters.

41 of those quarters occurred under Republican presidents.

1/
This year, the cumulative budget deficit since Trump took office is expected to surpass $5 trillion. Greater than any 4 year period in U.S. history.

2/
Almost half of the benefits of Trump's tax cuts and programs have gone to the wealthiest 5%, while the number of corporations paying $0 in taxes has doubled.

"Trump will never willingly leave office."

It's a refrain I hear often & attempt to debunk regularly.

CNN's Kaitlyn Collins was assigned to the front row in yesterday's W. H. Press Briefing. She regularly embarrasses Trump. Usually by just asking him about things he's said.

1/
Trump did not want CNN in the front row. He tried to have Mrs. Collins moved to the back. She asks tough questions & likely had a few lined up about injecting bleach.

Due to the rules inside the WH Press Room, the WH doesn't control what press is present or where they sit.

2/
Both Collins and the reporter who was told by the WH to switch seats refused to do so.

At this point, based on multiple reports, the Secret Service was invoked to attempt to get Mrs. Collins to move to the back.

The only thing more amazing than how often Larry Kudlow's predictions are dead wrong is that he keeps making them.

March 1993: Clinton's taxes will ruin the economy. (90's economic boom)

1/
February 2000: Things will pick up again. Not even Greenspan can stop this internet economy. (Internet bubble burst)
June 2002: War will elevate the stock market by 2000 points. (Down 1000 over next year)
December 2007: There's no recession coming. (There was)

2/
April 2008: Recessions are therapeutic. There's no credit crunch. It's very good. (It wasn't)
July 2008: The housing market is healthier than ever. (Nope. Collapsed within weeks)

368 male Covid-19 patients were included in a nationwide study by the VA.

97 received Hydroxychloroquine.

113 received Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin.

158 received neither.

How many died?

Neither drug: 11.4%
Both drugs: 22%
Hydroxychloroquine only: 27%

1/
So the mortality rate among those taking the drugs that Trump has repeatedly recommended, and that Fox News and GOP pundits and Twitter idols have touted endlessly, is about double the mortality rate without them.

2/
At Trump's direction, U.S. government agencies have now purchased at least 30 million doses of a drug that doubles your chance of death. Using your tax dollars.

I'm seeing a lot of casual jokes about people dying. You've seen them. The morbid one-liners, the R vs. D prediction commentaries and link shares, the strangers' obituaries as a political bullet point.

1/
It's so easy to share these. I don't doubt I've posted some frustrated comment or stupid joke that meets this exact criteria.

Usually, it's unnamed people in general, on the opposite side of the political spectrum, dying in these snapshots.

2/
Sometimes it's a real person we've never heard of, with a family, friends, and neighbors, and a sudden afterlife legacy of being the 'proof of concept' the "other side" passes around like a trophy.
