“A miracle would be great. Who doesn’t love miracles? But miracles shouldn’t be Plan A. Even Sully tried to land at the airport first… Also when he said ‘everyone can get a test’ what he meant was: Almost no one.” —Brad Pitt as Dr Fauci, @nbcsnl in April
Over 2.1 million American children have been infected with COVID19 so far, researchers estimate. With no end in sight.
“To deal with that effectively, we have to put in place infrastructure — not just at home, but globally — that allows us to see it quickly, isolate it quickly, respond to it quickly…” President Obama, 2014
REMEMBER: President* Trump was told about coronavirus in NOVEMBER and decided to lie nonstop and sabotage our COVID19 testing plan rather than take proven steps to control a deadly virus. @TWR2020@LA_Karma1
“This virus has impacted almost every country but there’s a reason it has hit America worse than any other advanced nation. It’s because of Trump’s failure to take it seriously from the start.” @KamalaHarris
"My father was a healthy 65 year old. His only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life.” Kristin Urquiza @kdurquiza@MarkedByCovid#markedbycovid#COVID19
“We will never get our economy back on track, we will never get our kids safely back to school, we will never have our lives back, until we deal with this virus... It didn’t have to be this bad.” @JoeBiden
“You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed… It’s also more deadly than your strenuous flus.”
— President* Trump to Bob Woodward on Feb 7 #TrumpKnew
“President* Trump has killed people with his lies and for him to come out there today and say he didn’t want to panic anyone?! He is running a campaign based on fear and panic!!” @clairecmc#TrumpKnew
"The desire for normality might render the unthinkable normal. Like poverty, racism, school shootings, police brutality… and changing climate, COVID19 might become yet another unacceptable thing America comes to accept."@edyong209
"And you'll develop, you'll develop turd, like a herd mentality. It's gonna be… be herd developed, and that's gonna happen. That will all happen." President* Trump on Sep 15 #TrumpTownHall#HerdMentality
Over 200,000 Americans are now dead because President* Trump downplayed COVID19. He is STILL downplaying it. America STILL needs a national plan for COVID19.
@RachelBitecofer “Open up large parcels of inexpensive land in the outer reaches of the cities… Create thousands and thousands of ‘high quality’ tents…”
Trump detention camp plan 7/26/22
@RachelBitecofer “Trump’s legal theory is that presidents are entitled to absolute immunity for official acts. Under this theory a sitting president could violate the law with impunity.” @AdamSerwer
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”
“The Twitter thing is different, right? We are seeing in these recent years that Elon Musk has behaved erratically at times, that the biographical facts that you mentioned that led to him at times talking about his loneliness, his sadness…” @RonanFarrow
“You take a guy with this much power, who is talking openly about his sadness, his isolation, his loneliness… There are people around him who are concerned. And then we as a nation — and indeed as a world — have to be concerned…”
@RonanFarrow @TheReidOut
“There are so many unanswered questions…lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don’t know and don’t expect an answer tonight.”

“WATCH: The Fox on air vs. off air comparison. To understand the depths of Fox’s hypocrisy, you really need to hear what the stars of Fox were saying on TV versus what they were telling each other behind the scenes.” @mehdirhasan
“In the long haul, I think you and all these opinion shows [are bad for America] because you’re very good at what you do [attracting] people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts.”
Ted Koppel to Hannity 2017
“It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience... To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
