Personal Thread:

My toddler took her first steps this weekend on the day she turned 17-months old. It was also the day I decided to stop pumping. I was barely holding on anyway.

For 517 days, I either nursed or pumped. It was hard as hell.
I lugged this thing around the world. It’s been on Air Force One, inside Japan’s Akasake Palace, and the Hyderabad House in New Delhi. I learned how to use dry ice to ship milk home. I pumped while covering the Mueller Report, impeachment, and a pandemic.
So many young women—especially broadcast journalists just starting their careers—ask about life/work balance. The short answer is: Yes, it’s possible.

But I realize it’s a lot harder for others. I’m really grateful to work for a company that offers parental leave and support.

The moment you’ve been waiting for:

The President is not wearing a mask while touring the @Ford plant in Michigan, even though it’s company policy, @UAW said he should, and the state attorney general wrote an open letter asking him to follow the rules. Image
On his decision to go maskless: “I wore one before,” the President said. “But I didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.”

Mr. Trump said at one point during the tour he also wore goggles.
The President pulled out a mask to show he has one, and said he thinks he actually looks better with it on.
(He did not wear it.) Image

Today, the President said the U.S. will be able to perform 5m tests/day in the "very near future."

That’s about 150m a month.

@ArdenFarhi points out just yesterday, the task force said the goal was 8m for the month of May.

Where will the 142m come from?
#WhereAreTheTests?
.@PressSec tells @CBSNews:
“The US has done double the # of tests of any country in the world. We have exceeded all expectations and continue to lead the world in testing capacity as we assist governors in ensuring they have the capacity to reopen their states in a safe manner.”
Update: Trump says he did NOT say U.S. will be able to perform 5m #coronavirus tests a day, and calls the figure a “media trap” per @benstracy.

Yesterday he said U.S. will soon do even better than that, prompting @kwelkernbc to follow up.

Here’s the official WH transcript: Image

The administration has faced criticism for practicing “Do as I say, not as I do.”

@VP’s office has not answered why he violated the @MayoClinic policy today: Image
.@MayoClinic apparently deleted its tweet, but here’s a screenshot I took just in case: Image
.@VP says he is tested often, “And since I don't have the coronavirus, I thought it'd be a good opportunity for me to be here, to be able to speak to these researchers these incredible healthcare personnel and look them in the eye and say thank you.”
