1/ This is insane.

In late January, Philips approached Trump to ask whether it should accelerate ventilator production under an existing contract. It wasn't until APRIL, after demand started to ebb, that Trump said yes." #fridaymorning

2/ DHHS signed a new contract with Philips to purchase 43,000 ventilators at $15k apiece. The administration never tried to negotiate that price.

The Obama administration negotiated with Philips in 2014 was for 10,000 similar ventilators at $3,280 apiece.

3/ Peter Navarro negotiated the new contract at almost five times the price the Obama administration paid. The deal was formalized by Adam Boehler, a former college roommate of Jared Kushner. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
4/ Christopher Abbott, an aide to Navarro who graduated from college in 2019, oversaw a majority of the communications between Philips and the White House.

What has the Trump virus taken from you?

150k+ people have died.
4M+ people tested positive.
50k+ people are newly diagnosed every day.

It didn't have to be this way.

What has the Trump virus taken from me?

I'm lucky. I've been disabled for many years and was isolated before #COVID19, so my day to day life has changed little.

Watching my husband and our 5 kids try to navigate Trump's new world has been awful. 2/
My youngest is almost 17. He has Aspergers. For years, I homeschooled him because he couldn't handle a classroom setting. With a lot of love and encouragement from the best public school teachers and counselors I've ever met, he started going to school and even mainstreamed.

Trump's stormtroopers tear-gassed Ted Wheeler, mayor of Portland.

He was there to listen to demonstrators.

The feds knew he was there.

I repeat: the federal government knowingly gassed the mayor of an American city.

Portland is a test run.
A trial balloon.
Be ready.
The President of the United States can't pass a #cognitivetest and we've got stormtroopers gassing the mayors of US cities. Here's Ted Wheeler after his second dose of tear gas.

Is this your America?

(follow @ByMikeBaker for #PortlandProtests updates)
Say what you want about Portland mayor Ted Wheeler, he took the front line like a champ and hung in there amidst the tear gas and flash bangs longer than most.

Welcome to Trump's America.

He truly lives on another planet.

Wallace: "We have the 7th highest mortality rate in the world."

Trump: "I think it's the opposite. I think we have one of the lowest mortality rates."

Wallace: "That's not true, sir."

He. Is. In. F'ing. Sane.

“Many whites are killed also. You have to say that. I mean, many, many whites are killed."

Fact check: victims of police violence are disproportionately black (32%) with a fatality rate 2.8 times higher among blacks than whites.
WTF is happening.
