The Coronavirus crisis is far from over. Tens of thousands of new cases are still getting confirmed each and every day, including at least a couple of recent cases inside the Trump administration. Both a member of the military who serves as a personal valet for the president and the press secretary for the vice president have tested positive for the Coronavirus, and the president and vice president have reportedly been getting tested each and every day. Additionally, top health officials including the chiefs at the FDA and CDC have quarantined themselves over possible exposure to the virus. This week on Twitter, Hillary Clinton pointed out the stark difference between the White House’s strenuous virus prevention measures and the dismal arrangements that the president’s team has left for Americans at large.
Quoting presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who she has formally endorsed, Clinton posted:
‘“If Trump and his team understand how critical testing is to their safety—and they seem to, given their own behavior—why are they insisting that it’s unnecessary for the American people?” Great question, @JoeBiden.’

Trump recently even claimed that calls to increase Coronavirus testing capacity in the U.S. were a “false talking point.” That’s a ludicrous assertion, however — high levels of Coronavirus testing are crucial to allowing authorities to track and stem the spread of the deadly disease in the absence of effective treatments. In the early weeks of the pandemic, South Korea did ten times as much testing as the U.S., and their case counts and death rates have been dramatically lower than those in the U.S. The current outbreak level in the United States, which has over 1.3 million confirmed cases, was not inevitable.
Going forward, there’s already been lots of talk of investigative efforts covering the Trump administration’s many fumblings, like that which Hillary mentions. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has suggested the implementation of a 9/11 style investigative commission to deal with the crisis.
Check out Twitter’s response to Hillary below:
Is the Trump administration operating a double standard ? Are they willing to put Americans at risk in ways that they avoid ?? When I see the President in a crowd, then I will consider getting in one myself. https://t.co/asEeOYITKm — Mark D Welch (@MarkDWelch1) May 11, 2020
Hi @HillaryClinton, it is tragedy for good nation #USA & the world that you had lost last presidential election to dishonest, neurotic @realDonaldTrump, who has created so much chaos & spread #racism.

bipartisanreport--2020-05-11--Details Of Trump Tax Returns Announced By Monday ‘Bloomberg News’

This week , the U.S. Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments surrounding investigators ’ attempts to procure the tax returns of President Donald Trump , who has consistently refused to release that material to the public despite decades of precedent of the president doing so in the name of clearly sidestepping any financial conflicts of interest .
Trump ’ s team has insisted that attempts at procuring Trump ’ s tax returns are out of line , but the president is , quite simply , not above the law , as the anti-Trump conservative lawyer George Conway insisted in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Author Timothy L. O ’ Brien revealed in a subsequent piece for Bloomberg that he , in fact , has seen Trump ’ s tax returns , and according to the details he raised , it ’ s imperative that the American public does too .
O ’ Brien got access to Trump ’ s tax returns amidst an angry lawsuit that Trump himself filed with the author , who ’ d written a biography called TrumpNation that estimated the eventual president ’ s wealth at a sharply lower level than Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brien did not reveal specifics , he seemed to suggest that the documents essentially confirmed his own reporting .
Trump ’ s lawsuit against the author was eventually thrown out , so clearly , there wasn ’ t exactly an overwhelming basis for Trump ’ s claims about his supposed grand fortune .
‘ My lawyers got the returns , and while I can ’ t disclose specifics , I imagine that Trump is hesitant to release them now because they would reveal how robust his businesses actually are and shine a light @ @ @ @ @ @ @ income .
Deutsche Bank AG , one of the firms Trump ’ s lawyers are trying to stifle in their arguments before the Supreme Court , also turned over documents in my case — including its own assessment of Trump ’ s wealth that pegged his fortune at $ 788 million in 2004 , well below the $ 3 billion he told them he had at the time.
’ It ’ s important to note — Trump ’ s brazenly false self-assessments of his financial standing can easily constitute fraud when he employs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loans .
Congress “ says it wants Trump ’ s tax returns so it can craft legislation modernizing federal ethics and disclosure laws and protecting the 2020 election from foreign interference , ” O ’ Brien notes .
While in office , Trump has frequently been startlingly brazen with his financial conflicts of interest .
Just recently , he posted what was essentially an ad for one of his golf courses on Twitter on the occasion of its reopening following the Coronavirus-induced social distancing demands .
O ’ Brien points out that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ motivated Trump ’ s mad dash to reopen the economy , no matter dire warnings from public health professionals about the Coronavirus being allowed to spread unchecked .
Has Trump just been trying to protect his own businesses ?
Whenever he has faced the slightest scrutiny , Trump has ordinarily freaked out .
The question of how his financial conflicts of interest may have weighed on his Coronavirus response will likely emerge amidst efforts to investigate the situation after the virus passes .
For now , the U.S. is continuing to grapple with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ each and every day and thousands of deaths on most of those days .

Although O’Brien did not reveal specifics, he seemed to suggest that the documents essentially confirmed his own reporting.

bipartisanreport--2020-05-11--Trump Suffers Multi-Tweet Monday Morning Emotional Collapse

Many people meet their future mate on the job .
President Barak Obama just had a conference call with 3,000 of his closest friends .
Actually , make that 3,000 members of the Obama Alumni Association aka people in his administration .
So it came as no surprise that nine members of that group met members of the media , and then magic happened .
Donald Trump tweeted out photos that matched Obama supporters to the members of the television media .
It was a surprise he did so , because as coronavirus invaded the White House .
Vice President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Miller had tested positive for the virus .
The recently married woman ’ s husband also just happened to be one of Trump ’ s top advisers , Stephen Miller .
Yes , that Stephen Miller who showed up originally and reprimanded the press .
Now , he is working from home in an almost-quarantined environment .
Trump tweeted that “ the lamestream media ” was “ the rigged media.
” Then , the president tried to console his voters with “ we will win again : ” ‘ This is why it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s the Rigged Media….and it is what I ’ m up against .
It was corrupt in 2016 .
Now it is much more corrupt , and what you are seeing is the least of it….but WE WILL WIN AGAIN !

Many people meet their future mate on the job. President Barak Obama just had a conference call with 3,000 of his closest friends. Actually, make that 3,000 members of the Obama Alumni Association aka people in his administration. So it came as no surprise that nine members of that group met members of the media, and then magic happened.
Donald Trump tweeted out photos that matched Obama supporters to the members of the television media. It was a surprise he did so, because as coronavirus invaded the White House. Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller had tested positive for the virus.
The recently married woman’s husband also just happened to be one of Trump’s top advisers, Stephen Miller. Yes, that Stephen Miller who showed up originally and reprimanded the press. Now, he is working from home in an almost-quarantined environment.
Trump tweeted that “the lamestream media” was “the rigged media.” Then, the president tried to console his voters with “we will win again:”
‘This is why it’s not really the Lamestream Media, it’s the Rigged Media….and it is what I’m up against. It was corrupt in 2016. Now it is much more corrupt, and what you are seeing is the least of it….but WE WILL WIN AGAIN!‘
The president was referring to a tweet matching “the democrat party & mainstream media:” ‘Benjamin, how’s the #ObamaGate family doing these days’ The media does not need to compliment Trump on handling the coronavirus for two reasons. 1. He compliments himself far better than any journalist could, and 2: He did not handle the coronavirus pandemic well at all: ‘Great credit being given for our Coronavirus response, except in the Fake News. They are a disgrace to America!’ Then, the president said the Democrats were “trying to steal the Mike Garcia congressional race:” ‘Dems are trying to steal the Mike Garcia Congressional Race in California. Republicans, get out and VOTE for your terrific candidate, ASAP!’ After the deaths due to coronavirus reached 80,574, POTUS said its numbers were “looking much better.” Now, that was going to comfort grieving relatives — not: ‘Coronavirus numbers are looking MUCH better, going down almost everywhere. Big progress being made!’ Trump said President Richard Nixon was his role model. Yet, POTUS’ references to the deceased president make the sitting president “look small:” ‘OBAMAGATE makes Watergate look small time!’ Next, Trump went on about the “great people of Pennsylvania.” He contradicted himself within these few words: “Don’t play politics. Be safe, move quickly:” ‘The great people of Pennsylvania want their freedom now, and they are fully aware of what that entails. The Democrats are moving slowly, all over the USA, for political purposes. They would wait until November 3rd if it were up to them. Don’t play politics. Be safe, move quickly!’ Then, POTUS quoted The Washington Times, proving that Trump has a love-hate relationship that extends to most of the media: ‘.@WashTimes “FBI Went Rogue In Pursuit Of Trump”’ Twitter world lit up. Check out some of our favorites below: The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes on this Facebook page . These quick, two-minute reads interpret the report in normal English for busy people. Mueller Bite-Sizes uncovers what is essentially a compelling spy mystery. Interestingly enough, Mueller Bite-Sizes can be read in any order.


bipartisanreport--2020-05-12--Trump Melts Down And Storms Out Of Coronavirus Press Conference

Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic , President Donald Trump ’ s so-called leadership remains an abject failure .
He has failed to enact some kind of effective , systematic response to the pandemic , which has helped kick the virus ’ s spread into motion up to the current point , with well over 80,000 Coronavirus deaths in the United States .
Pressed to acknowledge at least some semblance of the seriousness of the situation at a press conference at the White House this Monday , Trump melted down and stormed away from the event .
He ’ d rather whine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths of tens of thousands of Americans on his watch .
At the press conference , CBS reporter Weijia Jiang quizzed the president : ‘ You ’ ve said many times that the U.S. is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing .
Why does that matter ?
Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we ’ re still seeing more cases every day ?
’ If you thought that Trump would indulge in even a moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again .
That ’ s not a remotely competent answer to Jiang ’ s question .
Americans , to be clear , are not losing their lives “ everywhere in the world.
” The death of Americans ( in the U.S. , obviously ) due to the Coronavirus is not some inescapable , universal principle that was inevitable and Trump can ’ t avert .
Trump , however , sounds like he simply does not care .
Jiang , who is Chinese-American , followed up with the president by pointedly questioning why he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an answer to her question .
As if we haven ’ t all been subjected to his endless volleys of public , racist insults for years , Trump said he ’ s “ saying it to anybody that would ask a nasty question like that ” rather than singling out the reporter specifically with the implied suggestion that she should essentially leave the U.S. for China .
The problem is that we all saw that racism as exactly what he was employing .
It ’ s not some grand fake news conspiracy against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins attempted to ask a question after the president previously called on her .
Trump refused to take the question and stormed away from the proceedings .
This is the pathetic excuse for a president that Americans are left with amidst a rising Coronavirus death toll .
Watch below : Why on earth should any American feel assured that there ’ s a safe path ahead for the U.S. while this self-obsessed maniac remains in charge ?
On a daily basis , he ’ s unraveling in front of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican leaders in state after state and around the country are content to wallow in political benefits and look the other way while Americans die on his watch .
Polls suggest that Democrats will win big in November .

Pressed to acknowledge at least some semblance of the seriousness of the situation at a press conference at the White House this Monday, Trump melted down and stormed away from the event. He’d rather whine about his public image than acknowledge the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans on his watch.
Trump just quit and left his own briefing after he:
1) Responded to a Q from Chinese-American CBS reporter @weijia by telling her, “Maybe that’s a question you should ask China." 2) Refused to take a question from @kaitlancollins, despite having just called on her. — Christina Wilkie (@christinawilkie) May 11, 2020
At the press conference, CBS reporter Weijia Jiang quizzed the president:
‘You’ve said many times that the U.S. is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing. Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives and we’re still seeing more cases every day?’
If you thought that Trump would indulge in even a moment of honest self-reflection in response, think again.
He replied:
‘Well they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world, and maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me; ask China, okay? When you ask them that question, you may get a very unusual answer.’
Media: As @wolfblitzer says, an ugly ending to @realDonaldTrump's newser in the #RoseGarden when he freezes out @CNN's @kaitlancollins after telling an Asian-American reporter to "ask #China" when she asked why he talks of #COVID19 testing as a competition with other countries. pic.twitter.com/h8xlqRk5Sp — Porter Anderson (@Porter_Anderson) May 11, 2020

President Trump, asked about the more than 80,000 Americans who've died of coronavirus: "Dont ask me, ask China" — Todd Zwillich (@toddzwillich) May 11, 2020
Jiang, who is Chinese-American, followed up with the president by pointedly questioning why he told her specifically to ask China for an answer to her question. As if we haven’t all been subjected to his endless volleys of public, racist insults for years, Trump said he’s “saying it to anybody that would ask a nasty question like that” rather than singling out the reporter specifically with the implied suggestion that she should essentially leave the U.S. for China. The problem is that we all saw that racism as exactly what he was employing. It’s not some grand fake news conspiracy against the president.
Unbelievably ugly ending to Trump press conference. He storms off after being challenged by two female reporters. One, who is Asian American, had demanded to know why Trump told her she should "ask China" why so many are dying in the United States. — Greg Miller (@gregpmiller) May 11, 2020
After mockingly dismissing Jiang, CNN reporter Kaitlin Collins attempted to ask a question after the president previously called on her. Trump refused to take the question and stormed away from the proceedings. This is the pathetic excuse for a president that Americans are left with amidst a rising Coronavirus death toll. Watch below:

Why on earth should any American feel assured that there’s a safe path ahead for the U.S. while this self-obsessed maniac remains in charge?

At a press conference on Monday at the White House that was supposed to be about the Trump administration ’ s attempts to ramp up Coronavirus testing in the United States , the president stormed off after a question from CBS reporter Weijia Jiang about why he was insisting on treating testing like a competition while Americans lives hang in the balance .
Following Trump ’ s meltdown , CNN aired a montage of some of the president ’ s previous meltdowns when faced with tough questions from women in the White House press pool , and the montage , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years , pointedly indicated just how paranoid and self-obsessed that the president really is .
The footage begins with a clip from early 2017 , when he mockingly asked black reporter April Ryan if she was friends with the members of the Congressional Black Caucus .

The slightest pressure has him spiraling.

Oh really? In reality, the state of Maryland alone ordered half a million Coronavirus tests from South Korea. Over and over again, Trump complained to all who would listen about states’ requests for urgent assistance, and now that his own political chances are more in jeopardy, he’s trying to take credit for what he’d been whining about getting asked to do not that long ago at all.
Trump’s ignorance could be costing Americans their lives. This Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci is slated to warn the Senate that reopening the economy too quickly could result in “needless suffering and death” from the Coronavirus among Americans.

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California has issued a ruling temporarily blocking a Trump administration demand for the state of California to divert water from the San Francisco Bay area to the agriculture industry in the southern part of the state. As a justification for their order, the Trump administration had previously abruptly thrown out environmental impact assessments that warned of the effects of water diversion on local fish populations.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, commented:
‘We applaud the court for hitting pause on the Trump Administration’s reckless attempt to expand water export operations at the expense of California’s wildlife and habitats. Today’s victory is critical, but the fight is not over. We have the facts, science, and the law behind us, and we look forward to making our case in court.’

bipartisanreport--2020-05-12--Biden Catapults Past Trump In Fundraising Numbers

Ahead of the November elections , presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden is raising far larger sums of money than those raised by incumbent Republican President Donald Trump .
In March , the Biden campaign raised a staggering $ 46.7 million , compared to just $ 13.6 million that the Trump campaign raised .
That huge leading margin for Biden in the fundraising race suggests that he is well on his way to leading a substantive challenge to Donald Trump this November , no matter how many whiny tweets that the president posts .
‘ U.S @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than three times as much money for his campaign than President Donald Trump managed in March , a potential sign of voter enthusiasm for the Democratic challenger .
Biden ’ s campaign said on Monday it took in $ 46.7 million last month despite the coronavirus health crisis that has disrupted fundraising for U.S. politicians and hit donor finances .
It was a record haul for the former vice president… ’ There is one important caveat .
The Trump campaign ended March with a lot more money on hand than the Biden campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his re-election bid very shortly after his initial election and inauguration , and his team has been using the time since to try and build a successful re-election operation .
At the end of March , the Trump campaign had $ 98.5 million in the bank , while the Biden campaign had $ 26.4 million .

Ahead of the November elections, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden is raising far larger sums of money than those raised by incumbent Republican President Donald Trump. In March, the Biden campaign raised a staggering $46.7 million, compared to just $13.6 million that the Trump campaign raised. That huge leading margin for Biden in the fundraising race suggests that he is well on his way to leading a substantive challenge to Donald Trump this November, no matter how many whiny tweets that the president posts.
Reuters reports:
‘U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden raised more than three times as much money for his campaign than President Donald Trump managed in March, a potential sign of voter enthusiasm for the Democratic challenger. Biden’s campaign said on Monday it took in $46.7 million last month despite the coronavirus health crisis that has disrupted fundraising for U.S. politicians and hit donor finances. It was a record haul for the former vice president…’
There is one important caveat. The Trump campaign ended March with a lot more money on hand than the Biden campaign managed to accumulate. Trump officially announced his re-election bid very shortly after his initial election and inauguration, and his team has been using the time since to try and build a successful re-election operation. At the end of March, the Trump campaign had $98.5 million in the bank, while the Biden campaign had $26.4 million.
Still — money doesn’t vote; people do. There have already been signs that an upswell of support for Democrats could lead Biden to a victory this November. Prior to the Coronavirus outbreak, turnout in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary cycle was surging well beyond 2016 levels. In the Virginia contest alone, turnout almost doubled in 2020 compared to 2016 — and Biden won the then-crowded primary race by a large leading margin. He nabbed an overall majority of the vote, no matter the crowd.
There’s lots of support for other Democrats as well. In the first quarter of 2020, Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate outraised their incumbent Republican challengers in each and every one of the currently GOP-held seats that the Cook Political Report calls a toss-up. That list includes races in Maine, Arizona, North Carolina, and Colorado. The Democrats need to secure at least three additional seats besides their current total to secure the majority status in the Senate. If Trump remains in the White House and the vice president, who breaks Senate ties, therefore remains a Republican, Democrats would need to secure four additional seats to become the Senate majority party.
Remember this, every Governor who has sky high approval on their handling of the Coronavirus, and I am happy for them all, could in no way have gotten those numbers, or had that success, without me and the Federal Governments help.

Trump has been trying to shore up support for his candidacy ahead of November. This week, he tweeted:
‘Remember this, every Governor who has sky high approval on their handling of the Coronavirus, and I am happy for them all, could in no way have gotten those numbers, or had that success, without me and the Federal Governments help. From Ventilators to Testing, we made it happen!’
That’s nonsense. Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan, for example, ended up having to secure half a million Coronavirus tests from South Korea after the president’s previous complaints about ever getting asked for assistance for states at all.


bipartisanreport--2020-05-12--Fauci Tells Senate Virus Toll Likely Higher Than Official Count

The United States has already suffered more than 82,000 confirmed Coronavirus deaths , but during a Senate hearing this week , Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health acknowledged that the actual death toll in the U.S. could be significantly higher .
In discussion with Senator Bernie Sanders ( I-Vt. ) , Fauci explained his belief that the death toll could be higher as based on factors like how overwhelmed that the medical system was in New York for some time , where many individuals may have died outside of a medical facility without confirmation of Coronavirus infection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , too .
‘ I ’ m not sure , Senator Sanders , if it ’ s going to be 50 percent higher , Most of us feel that the number of deaths are likely higher than that number because given the situation particularly in New York City , when they were really strapped with a very serious challenge to their health care system , that there may have been people who died at home who did have COVID but were not counted as COVID because they never really got to the hospital.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ time that public health analysts have suggested that the death toll in the U.S. could be significantly higher than what ’ s been officially recorded .
In many areas around the country , the overall number of deaths has been staggeringly higher than the number recorded during similar periods in prior years , and the gaps are not at all accounted for by the official number of deaths that have been attributed to the Coronavirus .
As of late April , New York City alone had reported 1,700 deaths above the average for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by official virus death tolls .
In the state of New Jersey , 3,000 deaths above the average fatality rate for past years were not accounted for by official virus death tolls by the same late April point .
That ’ s potentially thousands of unreported Coronavirus fatalities in a single major city and a single state alone .
Extrapolating that trend to the rest of the U.S. paints a grim picture .
Amidst the national push to reopen the economy via lifting social distancing demands that have been meant to stem the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of infection and death could ensue .

The United States has already suffered more than 82,000 confirmed Coronavirus deaths, but during a Senate hearing this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health acknowledged that the actual death toll in the U.S. could be significantly higher. In discussion with Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Fauci explained his belief that the death toll could be higher as based on factors like how overwhelmed that the medical system was in New York for some time, where many individuals may have died outside of a medical facility without confirmation of Coronavirus infection. That same issue could repeat elsewhere, too.
Fauci explained:
‘I’m not sure, Senator Sanders, if it’s going to be 50 percent higher, Most of us feel that the number of deaths are likely higher than that number because given the situation particularly in New York City, when they were really strapped with a very serious challenge to their health care system, that there may have been people who died at home who did have COVID but were not counted as COVID because they never really got to the hospital.’
Watch below:
Fauci: "Most of us feel that the number of deaths are likely higher than [current count of 80,000+]. There may be people [in NYC] who died at home who did have COVID-19 who were not counted because they never really got to the hospital. I don't know exactly what percent higher." pic.twitter.com/SwKJ9ESuWT — CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) May 12, 2020
This revelation is not the first time that public health analysts have suggested that the death toll in the U.S. could be significantly higher than what’s been officially recorded. In many areas around the country, the overall number of deaths has been staggeringly higher than the number recorded during similar periods in prior years, and the gaps are not at all accounted for by the official number of deaths that have been attributed to the Coronavirus.

After similarly grim internal Trump administration numbers emerged, The New York Times reported:
‘The projections confirm the primary fear of public health experts: that a reopening of the economy will put the nation right back where it was in mid-March, when cases were rising so rapidly in some parts of the country that patients were dying on gurneys in hospital hallways.’

bipartisanreport--2020-05-12--Fauci Warns Senate Of Looming ‘Suffering And Death’

As of early Tuesday , almost 82,000 Americans and counting have died from the Coronavirus , and Dr. Anthony Fauci is slated to warn a Senate committee on Tuesday that “ needless suffering and death ” could ensue in even greater measure if the U.S. rushes to lift social distancing guidelines that had been meant to stem the virus ’ s spread .
The White House itself has outlined guidelines for the economic reopening process that include a documented two-week decline in cases , but many states around the country have been setting reopening plans in motion without hitting that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infections and death could be on the horizon .
Referring to the Senate Health Education , Labor and Pensions Committee , Fauci told The New York Times : ‘ The major message that I wish to convey to the Senate HLP committee tomorrow is the danger of trying to open the country prematurely .
If we skip over the checkpoints in the guidelines to : ‘ Open America Again , ’ then we risk the danger of multiple outbreaks throughout the country .
This will not only result in needless suffering and death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on our quest to return to normal.
’ Fauci had been appearing publicly fairly regularly until President Donald Trump decided to stop holding daily Coronavirus-related press conferences .
He made that abrupt cancellation after the fallout over his ignorant suggestion to explore using household disinfectants as a potential treatment for the Coronavirus .
Ingesting those disinfectants would be toxic and perhaps deadly , just to be clear .
Now , Fauci will be appearing via videoconference at the Senate committee hearing slated for this Tuesday alongside fellow public health officials including Food and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield , and Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir .
Fauci , Hahn , and Redfield have all placed themselves under some form of self-quarantine due to possible exposure to the virus and the possibility of unwittingly transmitting it to other people .
At least two White House staffers have recently tested positive for the disease , including the vice president ’ s press secretary and a valet for the president .
The president and vice president have subsequently been getting tested for Coronavirus daily , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have started wearing masks .
Trump has been among those clamoring for a swift reopening of the economy , even as Coronavirus cases and deaths continue to mount .
He has repeatedly expressed support for angry protesters who ’ ve turned out around the country against stay-at-home demands , including heavily armed individuals who recently stormed the state capitol building in Michigan .
These people , including Trump , are trying to wish basic public health concerns out of existence and seem willfully ignorant of the fact that stay-at-home orders are not some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Former CDC Director Dr. Thomas R. Frieden agrees. He commented recently:
‘We’re not reopening based on science. We’re reopening based on politics, ideology and public pressure. And I think it’s going to end badly.’

bipartisanreport--2020-05-13--Kevin McCarthy In Shock After 2020 Re-Election Chances Nosedive

House GOP leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy ( R-Calif. ) has proven to be a loyal shill of President Donald Trump throughout the last few years that they have served alongside one another .
When the Coronavirus crisis rolled in , McCarthy stuck right by the president , even though that meant initially jumping on board with a complete denial of the crisis that has now claimed the lives of over 83,000 Americans and counting .
Air Force veteran and engineer Kim Mangone is running a Democratic challenge to McCarthy in the upcoming elections , and she insists in a recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in light of issues like his brazen support for Trump-style racism .
In short , in the age of Trump , the “ mask ” has come off for a lot of Republicans who may have previously insisted that they were actually great , upstanding public figures .
McCarthy has supported Trump through debacles like the punitive separation of children from their parents upon their arrival at the southern U.S. border , and more recently , he ’ s ludicrously insisted upon calling the Coronavirus “ Chinese , ” although assigning the pathogen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
‘ There are so many things that I ’ ll be running against him , but racism is definitely one of them .
The comments he ’ s made and his total support for [ Trump against ] the people that are fleeing their nations in South America trying to get refugee status , and instead of figuring out and trying to help the situation , they want to stand around and make racist comments about it .
And caged children , yes.
’ And more recently , Republicans have put even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adamant refusals to take the Coronavirus seriously .
For weeks and months on end , Trump has tried to downplay the significance of the outbreak , and more recently , he ’ s switched to congratulating himself for a supposed job well done , no matter the tens of thousands of dead Americans .
McCarthy has stuck with Trump through the mess .
Mangone commented , in reference to the pandemic : ‘ Their handling of it has been completely irresponsible and it has not taken into consideration any of the actual people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the people it is your responsibility to stand up and say [ something ] .
When you know that something ’ s wrong , it ’ s your responsibility to stand up and say it .
The people have elected you , so the fact that you ’ ve turned your back on them and instead your sole focus is on Trump and what he ’ s saying , that ’ s not right.
’ Mangone ’ s observations seem likely to reflect broader sentiments among voters .
In increasing numbers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s handling of the Coronavirus crisis , and concurrently , Trump ’ s poll numbers when pitted against Joe Biden continue to be dismal .
Biden leads nationally and in crucial swing states , including so-called Rust Belt states like Michigan , Wisconsin , and Pennsylvania .
Trump ’ s sinking chances may drive down chances for Republicans across the board , who already lost big in the 2018 midterm elections when Democrats took control of the U.S. House .

House GOP leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has proven to be a loyal shill of President Donald Trump throughout the last few years that they have served alongside one another. When the Coronavirus crisis rolled in, McCarthy stuck right by the president, even though that meant initially jumping on board with a complete denial of the crisis that has now claimed the lives of over 83,000 Americans and counting. Air Force veteran and engineer Kim Mangone is running a Democratic challenge to McCarthy in the upcoming elections, and she insists in a recent interview that McCarthy is desperately politically vulnerable in light of issues like his brazen support for Trump-style racism.
In short, in the age of Trump, the “mask” has come off for a lot of Republicans who may have previously insisted that they were actually great, upstanding public figures. McCarthy has supported Trump through debacles like the punitive separation of children from their parents upon their arrival at the southern U.S. border, and more recently, he’s ludicrously insisted upon calling the Coronavirus “Chinese,” although assigning the pathogen some kind of nationality is just ridiculous.
Mangone insisted recently:
‘There are so many things that I’ll be running against him, but racism is definitely one of them. The comments he’s made and his total support for [Trump against] the people that are fleeing their nations in South America trying to get refugee status, and instead of figuring out and trying to help the situation, they want to stand around and make racist comments about it. And caged children, yes.’
And more recently, Republicans have put even more lives on the line with their adamant refusals to take the Coronavirus seriously. For weeks and months on end, Trump has tried to downplay the significance of the outbreak, and more recently, he’s switched to congratulating himself for a supposed job well done, no matter the tens of thousands of dead Americans.
McCarthy has stuck with Trump through the mess.
Mangone commented, in reference to the pandemic:
‘Their handling of it has been completely irresponsible and it has not taken into consideration any of the actual people living in this country… As a representative of the people it is your responsibility to stand up and say [something]. When you know that something’s wrong, it’s your responsibility to stand up and say it. The people have elected you, so the fact that you’ve turned your back on them and instead your sole focus is on Trump and what he’s saying, that’s not right.’
Mangone’s observations seem likely to reflect broader sentiments among voters. In increasing numbers, voters sharply disapprove of the president’s handling of the Coronavirus crisis, and concurrently, Trump’s poll numbers when pitted against Joe Biden continue to be dismal. Biden leads nationally and in crucial swing states, including so-called Rust Belt states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Trump’s sinking chances may drive down chances for Republicans across the board, who already lost big in the 2018 midterm elections when Democrats took control of the U.S. House.
