For weeks, President Trump has minimized the seriousness of the coronavirus and mocked concern about it. On Tuesday, he made a remarkable claim: He knew it was a pandemic all along. His own words prove him wrong. nyti.ms/2WnUkEN

I give you my word as a Biden: When I'm president, I will lead with science, listen to the experts and heed their advice, and always tell you the truth.
60% of Americans now say they don't have very much trust — or have no trust at all — in what President Trump says about COVID-19, a new poll finds. trib.al/WbORiYt

So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed. Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers. It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff. #COVID19

He has to have been the easiest mark in the history of marks. It didn't take much to steal what sliver of soul he had left. #ToRussiaWithLove

The NYT bombshell story should be the lead story on every major news outlet. Sadly it’s not. Have we become so assaulted by Trump scandals that the fact a US President was the target of a counter-intelligence operation is not jaw-droppin’ headlines?

I can't wait to read the full tic-tock when all this is done. From the Steele dossier through the murders in Moscow, through the dozens duped and defending, having this all put together in a timeline is going to be the outline for the greatest corruption story ever told. @maddow

I’m looking forward to being back in Puerto Rico as the @ClintonFdn continues to stand with the people of Puerto Rico, USVI, and the Caribbean as they rebuild and recover.
NEW: This month, President @BillClinton, @ChelseaClinton, and hundreds of leaders will gather in San Juan, Puerto Rico to develop solutions that address hurricane recovery needs facing the region. wjcf.co/2D4TzGM
