George Floyd didn’t die in Antifa custody. He died in police custody. Trump has said nothing about reforming aggressive policing tactics.

Like you we are outraged about police violence. Let's turn rage into action: 1⃣Call NYC council members & demand cuts to the NYPD Budget. #NYCBudgetJustice campaign: bit.ly/bjustice 2⃣Call NYS legislators & demand support for #Repeal50a campaign: bit.ly/SaferNYAct

Uncovered: Last October, the head of the Minneapolis police union — which days ago warned against a “rush to judgment” of the officers involved in George Floyd’s death — spoke at a Trump rally and praised him for ending the “handcuffing and oppression” of police under Obama.

Whether you support the protests or oppose them, one question you should honestly grapple with is whether there’s an arrest of the officer who killed Floyd without them.

Thanks to the awesome @Taryn19 for connecting me with the equally awesome @SkyeStats to talk @CoverUSHealth and why we're going to have to work extremely hard to secure a post #COVID19 future where #healthcare is affordable for all. youtube.com/watch?v=4NrblO4M…

Trump openly admitting if we made voting easier in America, Republicans wouldn't win elections
Trump: "The things they had in there were crazy. They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."

While vast majority of deaths from #COVID19 are age 60+ many young adults and middle aged Americans are becoming seriously ill and surviving only after prolonged hospitalizations and ICU admissions that have long term consequences. This is a dangerous virus for most age groups.

You know what will revive the economy? Suppressing and containing the virus. That’s it.

Trump refuses to use the full power of the military to keep us safe from COVID19. His refusal to use the Defense Production Act is a failure in his most basic responsibility. He’s dithering because ideologues say the “free market” will get masks and gowns to docs and nurses.

Everyone needs to encourage your Senator and Representative to co-sponsor The Medical Supply Chain Emergency Act, which forces the President to use the DPA to federalize the entire critical medical supply chain.
The House version of this bill will be announced this afternoon.

Advice for how to think about the stimulus bill: THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE IN GOING TOO BIG AS THE GOVERNMENT CAN BORROW FOR FREE BUT THERE IS MASSIVE DOWNSIDE IN GOING TOO SMALL AS LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND A DEAD ECONOMY IS HARD TO RESTART. This is a asymmetric economic decision.

Please don't take hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) plus Azithromycin for #COVID19 UNLESS your doctor prescribes it. Both drugs affect the QT interval of your heart and can lead to arrhythmias and sudden death, especially if you are taking other meds or have a heart condition.

The massive blow to the economy is a result of social distancing.
The social distancing is a result of the failure to have sufficient tests.
The failure to have sufficient tests is a result of Trump’s incompetence or unwillingness to acknowledge the threat.
NEW — For weeks Congress asked the WH for information on coronavirus. Trump blew them off, declining to send officials or respond to letters. Health experts look back now with anger at how much damage was done by that initial secrecy.

Trump just ordered 500 million masks. It will take 18 months for them to be delivered.
Which made me recall how shocked I was leaving the Administration's first congressional briefing on Coronavirus on Feb. 5.
I tweeted this as I walked out.

The U.S. used to do this - now China is, and we're incapable of getting our own states and communities what they need. It will take a long time to understand just how damaging this is to America's standing and the nature of the world order we live in.

If you want to understand how catastrophically Trump has failed in this response, consider that the first cases were in the US and South Korea on the same day. And because of testing, honesty, and a swift government response, South Korea has already flattened the curve.
The first coronavirus case in the U.S. and South Korea was detected on the same day. By late January, Seoul had medical companies starting to work on a diagnostic test — one was approved a week later. Today, the U.S. isn’t even close to meeting test demand reut.rs/3daq8mF
