Apparently , at least one prominent member of President Donald Trump ’ s inner circle can ’ t even be bothered to abide by the safety precautions enacted by the Mayo Clinic amidst the Coronavirus pandemic .
This Tuesday , Vice President Mike Pence visited the Mayo Clinic headquarters in Rochester , Minnesota , where he was slated to get a firsthand perspective on the organization ’ s fight against the Coronavirus .
He was caught on camera without a mask during his time at the facility , despite the organization ’ s standing policy insisting upon masks for anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ administration wore masks while they were present — but Pence , lo and behold , did not .
Pence failed to wear a mask at numerous junctures of his trip , including when he greeted Democratic Governor Tim Walz upon his arrival in Minnesota , when he visited a medical facility area where a patient was donating blood , and when he helped host a roundtable discussion including figures like Mayo Clinic leadership and Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) Commissioner Stephen Hahn from the Trump administration .
The Minnesota governor was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing a mask , and Hahn was as well — but Pence was not .
There ’ s been no apparent comment from the vice president ’ s office about the incident , although the Mayo Clinic did tweet and then delete a message insisting that they had informed the vice president of their mask policy prior to his arrival .
Pence faced a lot of criticism for his glib recklessness .
If figures like him can ’ t be trusted on the little things like the basic step of wearing a mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the spread of the Coronavirus , then why should they be trusted on the big things ?
Trump has himself never worn a mask amidst the pandemic .
In fact , he complained about the way that it would make him look .

There’s been no apparent comment from the vice president’s office about the incident, although the Mayo Clinic did tweet and then delete a message insisting that they had informed the vice president of their mask policy prior to his arrival.
Pence faced a lot of criticism for his glib recklessness. If figures like him can’t be trusted on the little things like the basic step of wearing a mask in line with precautions meant to stem the spread of the Coronavirus, then why should they be trusted on the big things?
Activist Fred Guttenberg tweeted:
‘Just want to say @VP is an irresponsible idiot who just put health care workers and patients at risk. Mr. Pence, if you want to put yourself at risk of coronavirus and the potential deadly consequences, that is fine. Putting others at risk is not.’

Meanwhile, anti-Trump conservative activist Bill Kristol pointedly suggested:
‘Pence is a law-abiding and rule-obeying type of person. His out-of-character refusal to wear a mask is explained by this reason only: He thought Trump wouldn’t like it.’

Trump has himself never worn a mask amidst the pandemic. In fact, he complained about the way that it would make him look. In an even slightly more levelheaded administration, that self-centeredness would likely spark a days-long news cycle.
He told reporters:
‘I don’t know, somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful Resolute Desk… I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know. Somehow, I don’t see it for myself. I just don’t. Maybe I’ll change my mind, but this will pass and hopefully it’ll pass very quickly.’
That was weeks ago. The pandemic did not pass quickly; for weeks on end at this point, around thousands of Americans have been dying each and every day due to the Coronavirus, and the people in charge of the federal government response can’t even be bothered to wear a mask apparently.


bipartisanreport--2020-04-28--Trump Received & Ignored Over A Dozen COVID Warnings

Throughout early 2020 , President Donald Trump apparently ignored more than a dozen additional warnings about the Coronavirus that were included in the President ’ s Daily Briefs , which are briefings delivered to the president each and every day — although Trump apparently frequently does not actually read the documents and “ bristles at having to listen to oral summaries , ” AFP summarizes .
If he had taken the warnings seriously , then he could have acted more swiftly to enact measures to stem the spread of the virus and thereby kept the U.S. death toll below its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Based off a report in The Washington Post , AFP summarizes : At the end of January , Trump did restrict travel to the U.S. from China , but that was not enough to keep the virus from spreading at a large scale within the U.S. — obviously .
The restrictions that he implemented weren ’ t even enough to stop the flight of tens of thousands of additional passengers from China to the U.S. after the restrictions ’ implementation .
Those passengers were legal U.S. residents , who were exempted from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trump administration could have done is provide some kind of screening or testing before sending the individuals off to freely mingle among the population .
The Trump administration seemingly did no such thing .
It took the president until well into March to even implement national social distancing guidelines meant to stem the virus ’ s spread .
If he had implemented those guidelines sooner , than the virus could have been kept below its current staggering level in the U.S. , which now has more than one million confirmed Coronavirus cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of National Intelligence , Richard Grenell , has denied that the Coronavirus was featured in more than a dozen editions of the President ’ s Daily Brief , as reported .
He tweeted in direct response to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman : Does he seriously expect us to believe that the Coronavirus didn ’ t figure in the President ’ s daily briefings at all throughout the early months of 2020 ?
The entire point of the briefings is to chronicle rising threats .
The Trump team , however , has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under the bus in the past .
Now , the U.S. is continuing to suffer under the weight of the president ’ s incompetence and inaction .

Throughout early 2020, President Donald Trump apparently ignored more than a dozen additional warnings about the Coronavirus that were included in the President’s Daily Briefs, which are briefings delivered to the president each and every day — although Trump apparently frequently does not actually read the documents and “bristles at having to listen to oral summaries,” AFP summarizes. If he had taken the warnings seriously, then he could have acted more swiftly to enact measures to stem the spread of the virus and thereby kept the U.S. death toll below its current point of over 57,000 and counting.
Based off a report in The Washington Post, AFP summarizes:
‘For weeks, the Daily Briefs traced the spread of the virus, said that China was suppressing information about the virus’s lethality and ease of transmission, and mentioned the frightful political and economic consequences, the Post said. The president, who officials told the Post often does not read the briefings and bristles at having to listen to oral summaries, failed to mobilize for a major pandemic.’
At the end of January, Trump did restrict travel to the U.S. from China, but that was not enough to keep the virus from spreading at a large scale within the U.S. — obviously. The restrictions that he implemented weren’t even enough to stop the flight of tens of thousands of additional passengers from China to the U.S. after the restrictions’ implementation. Those passengers were legal U.S. residents, who were exempted from the restriction, but the least that the Trump administration could have done is provide some kind of screening or testing before sending the individuals off to freely mingle among the population. The Trump administration seemingly did no such thing.
400k+ flew from China before the US became the 39th country to impose travel restrictions. 40k+ came after. Since CV was already here and the fact that the US now leads in cases and is 3rd in deaths makes Trump’s claim of early decisive action meaningless. https://t.co/nQj5Bq3thg — Rick Tyler-Still Right (@rickwtyler) April 7, 2020
It took the president until well into March to even implement national social distancing guidelines meant to stem the virus’s spread. If he had implemented those guidelines sooner, than the virus could have been kept below its current staggering level in the U.S., which now has more than one million confirmed Coronavirus cases.
Trump’s current acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, has denied that the Coronavirus was featured in more than a dozen editions of the President’s Daily Brief, as reported. He tweeted in direct response to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman:
‘This isn’t true. And we told you this before you wrote. And you put the DNI denial of your premise in paragraph 9.’
This isn’t true. And we told you this before you wrote. And you put the DNI denial of your premise in paragraph 9. https://t.co/kVYJvGxL0r — Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) April 28, 2020
Does he seriously expect us to believe that the Coronavirus didn’t figure in the President’s daily briefings at all throughout the early months of 2020? The entire point of the briefings is to chronicle rising threats.
California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu pointed out:
‘t would be a dereliction of duty on the part of our incredible intelligence agencies if this were not true. You would expect our intelligence agencies to be on top of this.’
The Trump team, however, has never exactly hesitated to through intelligence agencies under the bus in the past.
It would be a dereliction of duty on the part of our incredible intelligence agencies if this were not true. You would expect our intelligence agencies to be on top of this. — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) April 28, 2020
Now, the U.S. is continuing to suffer under the weight of the president’s incompetence and inaction.


bipartisanreport--2020-04-28--Schumer Demands Senate Oversight Hearings

It ’ s been months , and the Trump administration has completely failed to inspire any kind of large-scale confidence in its handling of the Coronavirus pandemic .
Almost 58,000 Americans and counting have died from the disease while President Donald Trump and his allies have spent much of their time winding themselves up into a rage at their political opponents rather than focusing on implementing relief for struggling Americans .
This week , Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) revealed that Senate Democrats would be demanding presumably public oversight hearings on the administration ’ s “ abject @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including financial support legislation that Congress itself has passed .
Schumer explained during an appearance on MSNBC : ‘ This administration has been an abject failure at implementing most of these laws .
All too often it seems the president ’ s ego is at stake… What we should do now that we ’ re coming back next week is have hearings , oversight .
Haul in Dr. Birx , Dr. Fauci , Azar , and say “ Why isn ’ t testing working ?
” ‘ Coronavirus testing is a crucial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , because it allows authorities to track and work to contain the virus before it reaches even further widespread outbreak proportions .
There ’ s still a significant gap in the testing capability in the U.S. , and any gaps in testing capacity would need to be addressed in order to actually safely reopen the economy after the virus-induced social distancing measures , as Trump has sought .
‘ Why don ’ t we need a national regime to make sure that the manufacturing and supplies chains work ?
Why after 30 days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30 days ago — are computers breaking down ?
Where was the extra support ?
Where are the personnel ?
We could have oversight hearings , and I hope Leader McConnell will do that… The executive branch has failed miserably implementing almost all the things Congress has passed .
I ’ ve never seen an administration so bad at enacting the laws that Congress has put together.
’ Issues with the implementation of relief legislation include the money from a loan program meant for small businesses that ’ s gone to big companies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chris Steak House , and Potbelly Sandwiches .
The Los Angeles Lakers even got a “ small business ” loan — but after scrutiny , all four of those organizations are returning their loan money .
As the minority party in the Senate , it ’ s unclear how successful that Democrats ’ attempts to secure Coronavirus response oversight will actually be .
For now , the Senate is slated to reconvene during this coming week , when Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) has indicated that he plans to bring some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a vote .
The House was also set to reconvene the week of May 4 ( this coming week ) , but leadership abruptly announced this week that they would be delaying their own return after consulting with the House physician .
Other Congressional Democrats besides Schumer have already worked to enact oversight of the Trump administration ’ s Coronavirus response .
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff ( D-Calif. ) has even proposed a 9/11-style investigative commission for the wake of the virus crisis .

It’s been months, and the Trump administration has completely failed to inspire any kind of large-scale confidence in its handling of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Watch below:
Coronavirus testing is a crucial component of effective handling of the disease, because it allows authorities to track and work to contain the virus before it reaches even further widespread outbreak proportions. There’s still a significant gap in the testing capability in the U.S., and any gaps in testing capacity would need to be addressed in order to actually safely reopen the economy after the virus-induced social distancing measures, as Trump has sought.
Schumer posed the pointed questions:
‘Why don’t we need a national regime to make sure that the manufacturing and supplies chains work? Why after 30 days — we passed the first COVID bill 30 days ago — are computers breaking down? Where was the extra support? Where are the personnel? We could have oversight hearings, and I hope Leader McConnell will do that… The executive branch has failed miserably implementing almost all the things Congress has passed. I’ve never seen an administration so bad at enacting the laws that Congress has put together.’
Issues with the implementation of relief legislation include the money from a loan program meant for small businesses that’s gone to big companies like Shake Shack, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and Potbelly Sandwiches. The Los Angeles Lakers even got a “small business” loan — but after scrutiny, all four of those organizations are returning their loan money.

The House was also set to reconvene the week of May 4 (this coming week), but leadership abruptly announced this week that they would be delaying their own return after consulting with the House physician.
JUST IN: House Majority Leader Hoyer announces the US House will not be returning on May 4, as initially planned. After speaking with the House physician on Monday, “we made a judgment that we will not come back next week,” Hoyer says. https://t.co/x1Q4G5Sege — MSNBC (@MSNBC) April 28, 2020

The legislators ear-marked eight billion dollars from the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package specifically for tribal governments. When the Alaska Native Corporations filled out the form, there was a line to write in the total tribal population or how many shareholders they had. The latter was clearly designed for corporations.
Even though Alaska Native Corporations has tribal members as shareholders, its profits typically do not go to tribal members. The business has extensive swaths of land and much of its profits comes from the sale of timber and oil.
Native Americans do own businesses. That is not unusual, but the stimulus package was supposed to be destined the Indian nations “so that they can continue essential government services.”
Representatives of the tribes have called for the Interior Department’s Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Tara Sweeney’s resignation and have filed lawsuits.
As an Alaska native and the former Vice President of the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, Sweeney might have been playing favorites. That company would have also been eligible for the stimulus package dollars as written in the law.
Fortunately, a federal court stepped in to block the White House from distributing stimulus funds to these two companies. Basically, they sided with the tribes.
U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said, according to The Buzzfeed News:
‘[Giving] dollars to for-profit corporations does not jibe [with the law’s] general purpose of funding the emergency needs of “governments.”‘
Senate Indian Affairs Committee vice chairman Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) wrote to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Interior Secretary David Bernhard. He said that the legislators meant the funds to only go to government entities not corporations:

He ordered them to tell him how they could protect all personnel from the virus if the information ran “afoul of President Trump’s messaging.” He wanted them to integrate. “across the interagency” and the administration.
Once again, Dr. Fauci stood beside a government official, this time the president of these United States. Both Trump and Azar continued with reassurances to the public in statements, via press briefings, and “bellowed at political rallies” for the next two days after Trump said:
‘You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.’
By the time five days had passed, Dr. Fauci appeared on NBC’s Today show for an interview. Journalists asked him:
‘So, Dr. Fauci, it’s Saturday morning in America. People are waking up right now with real concerns about this. They want to go to malls and movies, maybe the gym as well. Should we be changing our habits and, if so, how?’
The government COVID-19 task force manager responded:
‘No. Right now, at this moment, there’s no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis. Right now the risk is still low, however, that this could change.’
After the refrigerated morgue trucks showed up, Trump could no longer hide the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic from the public.

bipartisanreport--2020-04-29--Pence Delivers Lame Excuse For Breaking Mask Protocol At Mayo Clinic

This Tuesday , Vice President Mike Pence attracted heavy scrutiny for visiting the Mayo Clinic without wearing a mask , which broke the medical facility ’ s own protocol , which features a demand for all visitors to wear a face covering amidst the Coronavirus pandemic .
Those guidelines mirror admonishment from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) itself for Americans to use masks in public settings amidst the pandemic .
Pence eventually excused himself for not wearing a mask by sharing how he wanted to look medical staffers “ in the eye ” to thank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t cover eyes , so basically he was just pulling an excuse out of thin air , it seems .
He also pointed out that the point of recommendations for mask-wearing is to keep individuals who may have the Coronavirus and not know it from spreading it to others .
While it is true that Pence has been tested as part of his duties as vice president , suggesting that there ’ s a 100 percent certainty that he did not have the disease at the time of his Tuesday Mayo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ As Vice President of the United States I ’ m tested for the coronavirus on a regular basis , and everyone who is around me is tested for the coronavirus .
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 health care personnel , and look them in the eye and say thank you.
’ Again — the medical masks that are in such high @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t cover people ’ s eyes , so what exactly is Pence talking about ?
He seems to be implying , after all , that his intention to “ look them in the eye and say thank you ” figured into his decision to appear at the Mayo Clinic without a mask .
Repeatedly throughout his trip , he was the odd man out in terms of mask usage .
He was the only person in a photograph of a moment in the Mayo Clinic ’ s medical facility who was not wearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a roundtable discussion featuring members like Mayo Clinic leadership and Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) Commissioner Stephen Hahn from the Trump administration , he was again the only participating official without a mask .
The officials at the roundtable discussion even sat a significant distance apart , in line with social distancing guidelines — but lo and behold , Pence did not wear a mask .
Pence faced a lot of criticism for his recklessness .
Activist Fred Guttenberg , for instance , tweeted : It would be a lot easier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trump administration to actually competently handle the big questions of the federal government ’ s Coronavirus response were they to credibly handle the smaller questions , like mask-wearing .

This Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence attracted heavy scrutiny for visiting the Mayo Clinic without wearing a mask, which broke the medical facility’s own protocol, which features a demand for all visitors to wear a face covering amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Those guidelines mirror admonishment from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) itself for Americans to use masks in public settings amidst the pandemic. Pence eventually excused himself for not wearing a mask by sharing how he wanted to look medical staffers “in the eye” to thank them for their service — but masks don’t cover eyes, so basically he was just pulling an excuse out of thin air, it seems.
Pence is irresponsible, duplicitous, and arrogant, not the qualities of an effective leader. https://t.co/jpsiNUlJ2r — Barb McQuade (@BarbMcQuade) April 28, 2020
He also pointed out that the point of recommendations for mask-wearing is to keep individuals who may have the Coronavirus and not know it from spreading it to others. While it is true that Pence has been tested as part of his duties as vice president, suggesting that there’s a 100 percent certainty that he did not have the disease at the time of his Tuesday Mayo Clinic visit is just recklessly naive.
Everyone is wearing a face mask in this photo.
Except one.
So who's the dummy?
Yet who's in charge?
Sad.https://t.co/QPZJoECcLw — Richard W. Painter (@RWPUSA) April 28, 2020
Pence told reporters:
‘As Vice President of the United States I’m tested for the coronavirus on a regular basis, and everyone who is around me is tested for the coronavirus. 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 health care personnel, and look them in the eye and say thank you.’
Again — the medical masks that are in such high demand amidst the Coronavirus pandemic don’t cover people’s eyes, so what exactly is Pence talking about? He seems to be implying, after all, that his intention to “look them in the eye and say thank you” figured into his decision to appear at the Mayo Clinic without a mask.
Dear @VP Pence: The virus has incubation period of up to 14 days. Do you get tested every day? If you tested negative 3 days ago it doesn’t mean you couldn’t shed the virus today. Also, these tests are not perfect. I have asked repeatedly & @CDCgov refuses to disclose error rate. https://t.co/aWfgg4utyR — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) April 28, 2020
Repeatedly throughout his trip, he was the odd man out in terms of mask usage. He was the only person in a photograph of a moment in the Mayo Clinic’s medical facility who was not wearing a mask, and when he hosted a roundtable discussion featuring members like Mayo Clinic leadership and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Stephen Hahn from the Trump administration, he was again the only participating official without a mask. The officials at the roundtable discussion even sat a significant distance apart, in line with social distancing guidelines — but lo and behold, Pence did not wear a mask.
VP Pence displays unconscionable disregard for the lives of others by refusing to wear a mask at Mayo Clinic. He should have been refused entrance. https://t.co/G4LkQ6X0n8 — Shanlon Wu (@shanlonwu) April 28, 2020
Pence faced a lot of criticism for his recklessness. Activist Fred Guttenberg, for instance, tweeted:
‘Just want to say @VP is an irresponsible idiot who just put health care workers and patients at risk. Mr. Pence, if you want to put yourself at risk of coronavirus and the potential deadly consequences, that is fine. Putting others at risk is not.’
Just want to say @VP is an irresponsible idiot who just put health care workers and patients at risk.

It would be a lot easier to trust Pence and the rest of the Trump administration to actually competently handle the big questions of the federal government’s Coronavirus response were they to credibly handle the smaller questions, like mask-wearing.

The more he puts himself in front of the television cameras, the less people tend to like him, new polls have indicated. Yet, he persists in spiraling his credibility down.
Tuesday, the president said that the nation would be doing five million coronavirus tests per day. These are the ones that indicate whether a person has the virus as compared to the ones that show antibodies. The latter indicate they had already recovered and might be less susceptible to a second round of the virus.
Assistant Secretary of Health Admiral Brett Giroir has headed up the federal testing effort. He indicated that his area has only conducted 5.7 million coronavirus tests in total, testing two percent of the country’s population. He hopes to take that number up to eight million by next month, The Time Magazine reported:
‘[T]here is absolutely no way on Earth, on this planet or any other planet, that we can do 20 million tests a day, or even five million tests a day.’
A Harvard study indicated that the nation had to be able to do a minimum of five million tests a day starting in the first part of June and 20 million by late July to recover the U.S. economy.
Giroir argued that was:
‘[A]n Ivory Tower, unreasonable benchmark,” that wasn’t needed, based upon current modeling projections, and that couldn’t be supported by current technology.’
Move five hours ahead. During a White House press briefing a journalist asked Trump whether the U.S. could make that goalpost. He answered:
‘We’ll increase it, and it’ll increase it by much more than that in the very near future…[we will] surpass 5 million tests per day. We’re going to be there very soon. If you look at the numbers, it could be that we’re getting very close.’
Then on Wednesday, the president claimed the country would produce five million CONVID-19 tests a day “very soon” and called the journalist’s question a “media trap,” according to Fox News:
‘Do I think we will [have 5 million tests per day]? I think we will but I never said it.’
The reporter asked again, and Trump went off before changing the subject:
‘I didn’t say it! I didn’t say it!’
Back on March 6, the president said:
‘Like a miracle, it will disappear…anybody that wants a test can get a test.’
Check out the president talking about testing below:

Giroir said the government would “do testing in a smart way:”
‘If we do testing in a smart way, like all those who were symptomatic and contact-traced and you targeted asymptomatic screening, that’s really the way to go. It’s horribly inefficient to say that the government is going to buy all the supplies, recreate a distribution center, do 5,000 hospitals, maybe 10,000 laboratories in academic centers. What we really want to do is use the commercial supply chain.’
The admiral also claimed the federal government would be the “supplier of last resort:”
‘Like if you were relying on one swab type that’s only made in Italy, because that’s what the FDA does, it doesn’t matter what I do [in the U.S.] until you open the market and have different swab types.’
He added:
‘For swabs and tubes, it’s really the heaviest hand of the federal government. We buy it, we procure it, we know it’s there, we ship it. But over the course of the summer, by July, we think we’re going to move even the swabs and the tubes into a more directed traffic-controlled free market system, where we don’t buy it, but we assure the states can purchase what they need for every single line.

All the state interests are among those which McConnell was apparently ready and willing to jeopardize right in the middle of a pandemic when there are already plenty of other issues. He has faced criticism from figures on both sides of the aisle, including both Democrats and Republicans.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican and the leader of the National Governors Association, has called for a total of $500 billion in additional assistance for state governments. There’s been reporting, however, that Republicans have been concerned that sharing more money with state governments could incentivize them to keep their economies closed with social distancing measures meant to stem the spread of the virus. Thus, it appears as though the GOP, including Trump, has been essentially attempting to extort states into reopening their economies, although around the U.S., many groups of governors have formed intrastate pacts for coordinating their own reopening plans separate from whatever the president happens to launch into.

This Tuesday during an appearance on MSNBC, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) shamed President Donald Trump for his belligerent attention to what she happened to have in her freezer while he stands in front of the nation with ludicrous suggestions like exploring injecting household disinfectants as a treatment for the Coronavirus, which would be poisonous. During a recent appearance on late night television, Pelosi discussed what was in her freezer, including ice cream, and Trump and Republicans have claimed that the image represents some kind of rampant Democratic laziness or something — but that’s just ridiculously untrue.
Democrats in Congress have been on the front lines of the fight against the Coronavirus, repeatedly developing crucial financial relief legislation. Pelosi commented, in reference to Trump:
‘He makes a big fuss about my having ice cream in my freezer… I have ice cream in my freezer. I guess it’s better than having Lysol in somebody’s lungs as he’s suggesting.’
In remarks to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump had complained:
‘The Democrats, they don’t want to come back, they don’t want to come back. I think they should be back here, but they don’t. They’re enjoying their vacation… if you look at Nancy Pelosi eating ice cream on late night television. They’re having a good time.’
This week, House leadership announced that they would not be reconvening next week after all following consultation with the House physician. Now, Trump appears to be trying to use that decision, which is a basic step to try and protect the health and safety of members of Congress and their families, as some kind of political bludgeon.
While he keeps winding himself up with this whiny criticism of his opponents amidst the pandemic, Americans keep suffering amidst the Coronavirus-related problems like personal protective equipment shortages, which he has exacerbated with his incessant inaction.

Donald Trump has been on a quest to destroy everything that Barack Obama accomplished during his eight years in office. Beyond that, he has taken a wrecking ball to the institutions, mores, and traditions of our nation. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been his silent partner. Why?
People see a terrible body blow that injures the very fabric of all that has existed in America for nearly two and one-half centuries, ever since our founders started their great experiment. This goes way beyond retribution against Trump’s predecessor.
As the coronavirus sweeps the country, the sitting president has used his Defense Production Act not to provide masks and protective garb to frontliners in this pandemic attack, not to provide ventilators to dying patients. Instead, he used it to protect hamburgers and CEOs
Now, POTUS announced that he intended to “repeal a major Obama-era clean water regulation,” the Waters of the United States rule, according to The New York Times. Its purpose has been to limit pollutants near “streams, wetlands, and other bodies of water.”
Professor of Environmental Law at the Vermont Law School Patrick Parenteau noted that conservatives say the Clean Water Act handicapped corporate farmers:
‘This is an opportunity to really drive a stake through the heart of federal water protection.’
Trump signed his executive order that directed federal agencies to start a repeal and replace a set of circumstances. In other words, he started off weakening Obama’s act as soon as he could. He inched ever forward, especially now that the pandemic distracts Americans.
The administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Andrew Wheeler said:
‘Today’s final rule puts an end to an egregious power-grab.’ [Big F]armers, property owners and businesses will spend less time and money determining whether they need a federal permit and more time building infrastructure.’
President of the American Farm Bureau Federation Zippy Duvall said farmers and ranchers supported the Trump repeal:
‘When you take private property rights from a man who’s worked all his life. That is very intrusive to him and it’s something he just can’t stand for.’
However, he was talking about corporate farmers who raised hundreds of thousands of heads of cattle or hogs. The waste runoff pollutes the water so badly that it is ruined. Corporate farmers, unlike family farmers, have been driven to produce the greatest amount of product least expensively and at any cost.
Director of the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition Laura Rubin said:
‘With many of our cities and towns living with unsafe drinking water, now is not the time to cut back on clean water enforcement.’
Blan Holman water regulations expert with the Southern Environmental Law Center said:
‘The Obama clean water rule had very clear lines defining which waters are protected by the Clean Water Act, versus which waters are not, while repealing the rule means replacing those lines with case-by-case calls.’

Career women emerged to shape their own worlds, but President. Barack Obama pointed out in a tweet that there continues to be a problem.
He tweeted about how the CONVID-19 pandemic magnified “racial disparities,” the financial security of too many,” and the “imbalanced burdens on working moms.” He gave Americans a moment’s rest from their coronavirus worries by getting their situations.
He also pointed out that there will be many opportunities emerging as people, especially women, need to change their lives in order to deal with the coronavirus. He tweeted:
‘The pandemic has magnified the financial insecurity of too many American families, the deep and real racial disparities in our society – and the imbalanced burdens on working moms. We have to create something better for America on the other side of this.’
Private psychotherapist and mother of two daughters aged four and one, Saba Luri realized a given in her family: homemaker duty would fall on her shoulders. As a result, the bathroom became her “emergency office,” according to The New York Times:
‘It’s the one place I can close the door and lock it.’
All of a sudden, she had to squeeze her work of managing a practice built over years, in and around her other responsibilities:
‘The responsibility to deal is on me. What I am hearing is that we as women are going to be the ones to set boundaries or establish a plan.’
Political Director for the San Diego Chapter of the International Brotherhood of Electrical workers Gretchen Newsom burst into tears when Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) left the 2020 presidential race.

bipartisanreport--2020-04-29--Trump Snaps & Rage Tweets At Justin Amash During Wednesday Meltdown

This week , Michigan Congressman Justin Amash announced that he was forming an exploratory committee prior to an apparently imminent public launch of a campaign for the Libertarian Party ’ s nomination for president .
Amash used to be a Republican , but shortly after announcing his support for Trump ’ s impeachment , he changed his registration to independent , and now , he ’ s registered with the Libertarians .
Amash has attracted a lot of criticism from the president and his allies , and this Wednesday — amidst the deadly Coronavirus pandemic that ’ s killing thousands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump forgot — the president rushed to Twitter to mock Amash as a supposedly ineffective leader whose presidential campaign would supposedly get nowhere .
In response to a post suggesting that Amash ’ s candidacy could boost Trump because it would take moderate right-wingers ’ votes away from Joe Biden , Trump tweeted : ‘ No , I think Amash would make a wonderful candidate , especially since he is way behind in his district and has no chance of maintaining his Congressional seat .
He almost always votes for the Do Nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than Jill Stein !
’ Stein , of course , is a previous third party presidential candidate on the left side of the political spectrum .
She ran as the Green Party ’ s presidential nominee in 2016 , and some have alleged that third party candidacies like hers have assisted Trump because they ’ ve split voting blocs that might have otherwise coalesced behind the Democratic nominee .
To be clear , it ’ s not as though Trump is the fault of third-party voters — there are also the tens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him along with the many millions who didn ’ t vote .
To be clear , it ’ s not like there ’ s any indication that Amash will actually be able to topple Trump .
The Libertarian Party ’ s presidential candidate frequently ends up with single-digit levels of support in general elections .
Yet , Trump seems paranoid about even the possibility of further challenge anyway .

Today I will indulge in whataboutism for the day, and then stop what I think is a counterproductive exercise.

This is a total lie. Amash has 88 and 89 pct scores from the ACU and FreedomWorks, and has had 100 percent scores in past years. Trump does not like him because Amash voted to impeach him. https://t.co/ufD1tCBFo0 — S.V. Dáte (@svdate) April 29, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-04-29--Meat Plant Workers Publicly Shame Trump During Wednesday Rebuke

This week , President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating meat processing plants as essential infrastructure in a bid to force them to stay open and thereby — the thinking goes — protect the U.S. food supply .
Meat processing companies like Tyson Foods were allegedly planning on at least temporarily closing up to 80 percent of their facilities .
But now , a number of employees at these facilities tell CNN that they ’ re not sure that people are exactly going to be keen to come into work and thereby potentially expose themselves to the Coronavirus just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union , at least 20 meat and food processing workers have already died amidst the pandemic .
One worker named Donald , works at Tyson ’ s Waterloo , Iowa , facility and actually previously tested positive for the virus , told CNN : ‘ All I know is , this is crazy to me , because I can ’ t see all these people going back into work .
I don ’ t think people are going to go back in there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ figure out : What is he going to do , force them to stay open ?
Force people to go to work ?
’ On Tuesday , the day when he signed the executive order in question , Trump discussed addressing the unique “ liability ” of companies like Tyson Foods , which sounds like the aim is to absolve the company of further responsibility if someone gets sick on the job .
After all , thanks to Trump ’ s executive order , Tyson Foods and similar meat processing companies run essential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — managers have no choice but to stay open , apparently .
Another worker at the same Tyson facility that the employee Donald works at shared with CNN : Meanwhile , someone who works at Tyson ’ s Independence , Iowa , facility added : Overall , CNN Business explains that they have “ spoken to employees in several Tyson plants who do not want to be named for fear of losing their jobs , ” and the sentiments were similar across the board .
Trump is putting meatpacking workers ’ health and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s refused to display that same kind of urgency when it comes to Coronavirus-related issues that don ’ t circle back to protecting the concerns of big business .

This week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating meat processing plants as essential infrastructure in a bid to force them to stay open and thereby — the thinking goes — protect the U.S. food supply. Meat processing companies like Tyson Foods were allegedly planning on at least temporarily closing up to 80 percent of their facilities. But now, a number of employees at these facilities tell CNN that they’re not sure that people are exactly going to be keen to come into work and thereby potentially expose themselves to the Coronavirus just because Trump signed a piece of paper. According to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, at least 20 meat and food processing workers have already died amidst the pandemic.
One worker named Donald, works at Tyson’s Waterloo, Iowa, facility and actually previously tested positive for the virus, told CNN:
‘All I know is, this is crazy to me, because I can’t see all these people going back into work. I don’t think people are going to go back in there. I’m still trying to figure out: What is he going to do, force them to stay open? Force people to go to work?’
On Tuesday, the day when he signed the executive order in question, Trump discussed addressing the unique “liability” of companies like Tyson Foods, which sounds like the aim is to absolve the company of further responsibility if someone gets sick on the job. After all, thanks to Trump’s executive order, Tyson Foods and similar meat processing companies run essential infrastructure, so — thanks to Trump — managers have no choice but to stay open, apparently.
Another worker at the same Tyson facility that the employee Donald works at shared with CNN:
‘All in all, it can be a good thing if done right. But my faith in this administration has never been strong and is nonexistent currently. I wanna know what these added ‘liability protections’ are going to be.’
Meanwhile, someone who works at Tyson’s Independence, Iowa, facility added:
‘I just don’t know how they’re going to do it when there are people dying and getting really sick. Who’s to say people are even gonna show up to work?’
Overall, CNN Business explains that they have “spoken to employees in several Tyson plants who do not want to be named for fear of losing their jobs,” and the sentiments were similar across the board. Trump is putting meatpacking workers’ health and safety on the line, although he’s refused to display that same kind of urgency when it comes to Coronavirus-related issues that don’t circle back to protecting the concerns of big business.
Trump has repeatedly been urged to use the Defense Production Act to order the production of medical supplies needed by workers on the front lines of the fight against the Coronavirus, but he’s only used the provisions of the act sparingly, frequently deriding those who’ve dared to ask for any kind of assistance at all.

House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) has stepped into one of the leadership spots left open when Donald Trump bugged out. People began noticing the representative during POTUS’ impeachment trial. Wednesday, Schiff called out the president for an ugly attempt, noting that “cruelty is the point.”
One of the top Trump advisors, Stephen Miller, has been given the responsibility for immigration. This 34-year-old’s path has been studded with cruelty. The U.S. has seen a spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths anywhere people must function in close quarters: prisons, meat processing plants, and most likely internment camps for immigrants fleeing violence in Central America.
Schiff stood up to Trump for trying to slip this wicked plan under the cover of the coronavirus pandemic:
‘We’re not going to allow Trump to withhold relief funds from states that protect immigrant families. That he would even try to extort states by using vulnerable people as leverage during a crisis of this magnitude confirms what we’ve known all along: The cruelty is the point.’
This was Trump and Miller’s plan:
‘Trump suggests any relief for states hit hard by COVID will require ending “sanctuary city” policies and turning residents over to ICE.’

President Donald Trump has consistently come up woefully short amidst the Coronavirus crisis .
After waiting until March to even enact national social distancing guidelines meant to stem the spread of the virus , he ’ s spent the time since frequently belittling those who ’ ve dared to either ask him for assistance or criticize the resource and support gaps that remain .
This Wednesday on Twitter , former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton mocked Trump for his ineptitude , suggesting that he ’ s not even a “ real president.
” The tweet comes shortly after Clinton formally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s not the first mockery that Trump has received , and it certainly won ’ t be the last .
Neither is it set to be the last scrutiny — just this week , Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) revealed that Senate Democrats would be demanding to hold oversight hearings in their chamber covering the Trump administration ’ s failure to effectively respond to the Coronavirus crisis .
Those failures include lapses in the effective implementation of Congressional initiatives ; for example , a slew of large @ @ @ @ @ @ @ millions of dollars from a fund that was meant to support small businesses .

It’s not the first mockery that Trump has received, and it certainly won’t be the last.

In her endorsement for Biden this week, Clinton tied her perspective to the need for the U.S. to have some kind of competence at the helm amidst the looming work to recover from the Coronavirus crisis.
She commented, initially addressing Joe Biden directly:
‘I want to add my voice to the many who have endorsed you to be our president.
