I put together a timeline of Donald Trump’s “Costanzafied” press briefings. It’s not a lie if you believe it. thebulwark.com/a-timeline-of-…
The big Trump lie is about the China “travel ban.”
- It came after 45 countries & 3 major US carriers had already acted.
- It only banned foreign nationals which means throughout crisis you could fly direct from Beijing to US. Here’s a flight this wknd thebulwark.com/a-timeline-of-…
“The virus is the first force Donald Trump has ever met that is completely and totally immune to his bullshit.” thebulwark.com/a-timeline-of-…
This also provides an update on some of Trumps original rose garden lies. National website for testing - still doesn’t exist. The drive thru testing at big box stores? Only 5 are operational in whole country as of 3/31. thebulwark.com/a-timeline-of-…

"The notion that some of us think Buttigieg is not gay enough has an identifiable relationship to the facts."

This garbage was published in the NEW YORKER 1/ newyorker.com/news/our-colum…
What are those "facts?" Some gay people - the real queer ones - "never fit in." While others - the fake gays like Pete who live a life of "blending in" which make them essentially "straight." 2/ newyorker.com/news/our-colum…
Maybe if @mashagessen set aside the solipsism for a second and had one ounce of reflection on someone else's experience is they would have the blatantly obvious fucking realization that the "blending in" gays also had the experience of never fitting in.

The Democrats need to take a hard look both at 2018 and at these numbers and recognize who the party's voters are now. Dallas county was a hard red exurb of Des Moines not long ago. These voters are gettable if they are not given the stiff-arm.
Mitt Romney won by 12 in Dallas county in 2012. Trump won by 9 in 2016. That 3 point move happened while the rest of the state moved to Trump. It's these formerly GOP deep suburbs/exurbs of cities are where the flippers are.
Bonus stat. Gary Johnson got .73% in 2012 in Dallas County and Johnson/McMullin combined got 5.8% in 2016. Those voters are very much up for grabs this time.

I’m so offended by the claim that....Donald Trump will lash out at people who criticize him...really? That’s Donald Trumps entire brand.
I’m sorry, Senator, that your feelings are hurt that someone pointed out the very obvious reality that you have silenced yourself because you are afraid of a mean tweet. It must be embarrassing to have someone point it out in your work place, but this is not exactly a big secret
Anyone who knows Trump knows he is going to take it like an adult if a swing state Senator votes against him on impeachment

#China and the #WHO's chief: Hold them both accountable for pandemic👍

Tedros turned a blind eye to what happened in #Wuhan & in China & after meeting with Xi in January, has helped China to play down the severity & scope of the #coronavirus outbreak
thehill.com/opinion/intern…
From the outset, Tedros defended China despite its gross mismanagement of #coronavirus. As cases & deaths soared, WHO took months to declare the outbreak as a pandemic, even though it had met the criteria of transmission between people, high fatality rates & worldwide spread.
When Trump took a critical step to stop coronavirus at US borders by issuing a travel ban on Jan. 31, Tedros said widespread travel bans & restrictions were not needed to stop the outbreak & could “have the effect of increasing fear & stigma, with little public health benefit”

🇨🇳 #China (1) | The question is no longer if, but how hard, the #coronavirus will damage Chinese economy (and its trading partners) in 1Q20.
🇨🇳 #China (2) | A blockage of 16 cities (~50 million people) coupled with the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday and prohibition for Cos to return to work soon implies that 1Q will fall below 6% for the first time since QoQ figures are recorded.
🇨🇳 #China (3) | The impact will probably broaden from retail sales, tourism/transportation...

Donald Trump’s tariff threat pushing #China to make final make-or-break choice, analysts say - The #US president has threatened to impose 10% tariffs on the remaining US$300 billion in Chinese imports from September 1 scmp.com/economy/china-…
Threat came less than 48 hours after the conclusion of a ‘constructive’ round of talks in Shanghai aimed at ending the trade war. One option is for China to concede to Trump by buying farm products from the US & to agree to part of a currently rejected version of a trade deal.
Another option is that Beijing can walk away from the negotiations because Trump’s threat, in eyes of Beijing, goes against the truce agreed with Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Japan and is a way of placing “maximum pressure” that destroys goodwill and trust.

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.
