In 2017 Matt Gaetz was the ONLY "no" vote on anti-human trafficking bill. He later claimed to have "adopted" a young boy from Cuba, but without filling out any legal paperwork. He still calls the boy, Nestor, his "son." How is this guy in Congress? Are @MyFLFamilies OK with this?
Before he "adopted" 12 year-old Nestor, Matt Gaetz, at a retreat paid for by the Florida GOP, became drunk and unruly, and tried to bribe a hotel clerk to give him the key to the room of Rep. Jose Oliva late at night because he was desperate for a "cigar.” miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
ICYMI: Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has privately engaged in several spending practices in his nearly four years in office that appear to be in conflict with the House’s ethics rules, a POLITICO investigation has found. politico.com/news/2020/07/2…
On Dec. 19, 2017, Matt Gaetz cast the lone "no" vote on a human trafficking bill that passed unanimously in the Senate before sailing through the House by a count of 418 to 1. He later claimed to have previously “adopted” a 12 year-old boy called Nestor.

In May, Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND) fought back tears discussing masks during his daily press briefing about coronavirus.

Today, North Dakota has the highest infection rate in the nation and more than 1 in 600 people in North Dakota have died of #COVID19
South Dakota has the second highest #COVID19 infection rate in the country and more than 1 in 600 South Dakotans have died.

This week, a federal judge said Governor Kristi Noem "has done little, if anything," to stop the spread. thedailybeast.com/federal-judge-…
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds followed Trump’s lead in downplaying the virus & never imposed a stay-at-home order. In November, the test-positivity rate reached 50%. Iowa now has America's 3rd highest infection rate. Nearly 1 in 800 Iowans have died of #COVID19.

Trump didn't drain the swamp. He drained the Treasury. #MAGA #Corruption nbcnews.com/business/busin…
I first wrote about Trump's Corona Corruption in April. #Corruption #Profiteering thedailyedge.substack.com/p/corona-corru…
In April, the PPP website for all the Mom-and-Pop small businesses kept crashing. But somehow the Trump Administration corruption kept humming along like a fine-tuned machine. #Corruption #Profiteering thedailyedge.substack.com/p/corona-corru…

Trump is a psychopathic criminal cult leader in league with foreign powers and money lenders, backed by a corrupt, compromised party and a propaganda media network. If unstopped, he will criminalize dissent and embrace authoritarianism.

Here's a thread laying it all out: (1/9)
To truly understand Trump and the danger he represents, we need to first diagnose his psychiatric condition. He's not just a narcissist. As @DutytoInform explains, he's a psychopath: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/diagnosis-ps… (2/9)
Trump is also, undoubtedly, a criminal. Setting aside Mueller and impeachment, here's a list of 10 known crimes--from sexual assault to racial discrimination to tax fraud to money laundering--that we know he committed even BEFORE he became President: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-crimes-o… (3/9)

I wrote this about Trump's #nursinghome negligence at the end of July: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/trumps-nursi…

The Washington Post is now reporting there have been 7,000 additional nursing home deaths since the end of September. (1/3) #NursingHomeSlaughter #TrumpHatesSeniors
WaPo: Seema Verma, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head, vowed in late March to “keep what happened in Kirkland from happening again.” Since then, "homes that received a clean bill of health earlier this year had about 290,000 coronavirus cases and 43,000 deaths" (2/3)
Since March, more than 70,000 nursing home residents have died, plus hundreds of staff members, making up about 30% of U.S. coronavirus deaths.

“This pandemic’s death toll at #nursinghomes was not an inevitability," says Dean Lerner. (3/3) washingtonpost.com/business/2020/… #COVID19

THREAD:

Trump’s complete failure with #COVID19 turned what could have been a mild recession into a full blown economic crash—one that we may not fully recover from for many years.

How badly has @realDonaldTrump failed on the economy? (1/12)
The economy was weak heading into 2020 because of the failure of the #GOPTaxScam. Trump claimed his tax cuts for corporations and the already-rich would “skyrocket” the economy & deliver 5-6% GDP growth.

Reality: 2020 began with economists predicting growth of just 1.8%. (2/12)
Growing consumer debt was also slowing the economy’s potential heading into 2020. As Wall Street Journal reported: “consumer debt, not counting mortgages, has climbed to $4 trillion—higher than it has ever been even after adjusting for inflation.” (3/12)
