It’s important we realize how this virus hasn’t just created new problems; but poured gasoline on the crises we’ve long had. It’s okay if you didn’t see the extreme urgency of our healthcare, housing, wage, carceral, FPol,etc crises before. But I hope you don’t unsee them later.

I’ve said it before. When we get through this, I want to read Fauci’s account of how he had to put up with Trump in order to try to save us. (Thank you, Doc).
After Trump basically labels a reporter's question about a lack of surgical masks as fake news, Fauci takes the mic and tells the reporter, "you're not making things up. I know that."

@JoyceWhiteVance He’d do that in a second. He couldn’t care less if anyone but himself suffered... and then if one of them fell ill, he’d demand sympathy.

I’ll believe it when I see Glenn Beck go to work at a supermarket or a hospital instead of working alone at his desk from home.
Glenn Beck says older Americans should return to work: “Even if we all get sick, I would rather die than kill the country” https://t.co/CQdDAMByXK

Everything in this tweet is a lie. What a disgrace.
....The USA was never set up for this, just look at the catastrophe of the H1N1 Swine Flu (Biden in charge, 17,000 people lost, very late response time), but it soon will be. Great decision to close our China, and other, borders early. Saved many lives!

@RepRutherfordFL @RepJayapal Weird.
Republican senator Mike Lee blasts the Trump administrations post-Iran briefing, says they were told they could not dissent from Trump, couldn't debate it, and if Trump needed justification to go to war "I'm sure we could think of something"

I think Luke & Han are lucky Leia took over their "rescue" on the Death Star or it would've been a very short movie.
My 5 year old daughter picked these shoes, and a boy at school said Star Wars is for boys. She said Star Wars is for girls too. What do you think @HamillHimself ?

Hi Jim, military veteran here. I have PTSD unrelated to my military service. Veterans do not own PTSD. We don't get to arbitrate who does + does not have PTSD simply because we served. I find it disgraceful and offensive that you would use service to shame Rep. Omar over PTSD.
Rep. Ilhan Omar complained she’s “stricken with PTSD” because of recent events in the Middle East. This is a disgrace and offensive to our nation’s veterans who really do have PTSD after putting their life on the line to keep America safe.

@SamuelStewart4 This entire fucking conflict is a pissing match between groups of powerful men insisting they have the moral authority to do whatever harm they want to prove they’re the winner. There is nothing that people who support any of this don’t feel entitled to do to others.

It isn't partisan to ask what is the end goal here. Indeed, after 18 years of war in the Middle East, the American people (and those of us who fought in them) are owed a strategy when the CinC escalates into yet another costly war.
Sen. McConnell criticizes Democrats over Iran: "Can we not maintain a shred, just a shred of national unity for five minutes before deepening the partisan trenches?...Could we at least remember we're all Americans first, and we're all in this together?" https://t.co/lohNOsaGPT

2. The propaganda push will include enormous appeals to American militarism disguised as patriotism: flag pins, flyovers, reverent cries to “support the troops,” as if the greatest support you can offer the troops isn’t to keep them from dying for no good reason.

Tonight, you will see spineless cowards who never served a goddamn day in uniform wave a flag and cheer on the possibility of sending young people to die in a war against Iran that they would never serve in, started by another coward who watched others sent to die in his place.

His resolutions are as clearly stated as his policies. "I have one, and it's a great one, I just can't tell you about it because that would ruin it for me."

Why is a disorganized and chaotic Administration such a danger to national security? This actually happened: They sent a letter — by mistake — to the Iraqi government to inform them our counter-ISIS forces are withdrawing. The dysfunction starts at the top.
