Coming soon. Follow if interested. #IntheBubble 1/
Someone who goes by @ASlavittsMom (my mom in Chicago) decided to see if we the unsung people could be recognized with the #thebestofus who are helping us all get through tough times. 2/

When this isolation thing is over, I’m looking her up. She’s a doer. 13/

If you’ve ever met @CharlieBakerMA he cries every once in a while when he’s moved. I never do that. I more get the occasional thing in my eye. 13/

Go @MayorFrey. That’s Minnesota nice and Minnesota right. What do you got @MayorCarter? (St Paul mayor— fun local rivalry, 2 very good people). 15/

Due to @yashar people have cash for their necessities. And cat things. 16/

So, wait . . . If someone does something kind to someone, someone then does something kind for them, and then someone does something kind for them? When does it end?? 17

This is the photograph of the year. I just stare and stare at it. 18/

More states can follow @OregonGovBrown here. She and I worked together to help Native populations years ago. She’s awesome.

Other states can follow & help NY. 19/

Captain Crozier. Who has since been diagnosed positive with COVID-19. Trying to save his crew. Guess he was supposed to be loyal to someone else. That’s not what leaders do. Please recover soon. Parade soon. 20/

COVID Update April 7: Today a governor at ground zero, talking to Congress about their package, a national testing strategy, “surveillance” plan— the new buzzword. And 50 people called me about baseball.

Coming up in 10 (seriously!) minutes. Follow if you like. 1/
My question for @GovMurphy was primarily what do you need and how are you doing it. And how are you working with both Trump and the Cuomo who he is dependent on.

He agreed to let me record the whole thing for #Inthebubble, including strategizing I would normally put here. 2/
The conversation will go up tomorrow morning and I will promote it a lot because it’s a rare conversation at a rare point in history.

As the state with the second worst death toll, he needs help from all quarters as you’ll here. 3/

Talking to Asia, thread about an hour. 1/
In many ways today is the day we’ve been waiting for: we are between 2 and 3 weeks out from when the country went on lockdown.

The big question is what is happening to the growth in new cases? I decided to try to find out. 2/
The best way to find out is to look at data. And our national data showed that right on time, our growth rate in new cases has slowed. 3/

States are trying to band together now to play the function the Federal government would normally play.
Experts and scientists are having to work around the president who is trying to talk about life at the end of the tunnel.
