"Well, I'm sort of exhausted. But other than that, I'm good. I mean, I'm not, to my knowledge, coronavirus infected. To my knowledge, I haven't been fired," Fauci says with a laugh.https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/i-m-going-keep-pushing-anthony-fauci-tries-make-white-house-listen-facts-pandemic … https://twitter.com/sciencecohen/status/1241872306550362112 …

He says he would never call it the Chinese virus. Regarding Trump at the podium? "I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let's try and get it corrected for the next time." https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/1241891594820825090 …

Fauci: "I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down." He says he does what he can - tell the "appropriate people" who can advise Trump not to repeat things. (Still, Fauci has done more live-correcting than literally anyone who's appeared with Trump since 2017.)

Journalist Jon Cohen to Fauci: What Trump said about China, transparency and the virus timeline just doesn't comport with the facts.
Fauci: "I know, but what do you want me to do? I mean, seriously Jon, let's get real, what do you want me to do?" https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/i-m-going-keep-pushing-anthony-fauci-tries-make-white-house-listen-facts-pandemic …

This man is amazing for putting up with what he does.
The strangest timeline resulting in the strangest events.
He's running for President, for goodness sake!Wait, Sanders wasn't in the vote?
What happened to dealing with a fucking global crisis?
Did it get solved while we weren't looking?
I wouldn't predict that he will, only that 20-30% unemployment (should it come) and very weak internal GOP guardrails present opportunities for a racist, unprincipled desperate demagogue that we should stay on guard for.
Joe Biden was completely silent this week (except for Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday) during the biggest crisis of our generation. I don't like him and he hasn't earned by vote but #wheresjoe? Why is he not leading from his position of power as former VP? Frankly I am going to vote third party from my seat on Massachusetts and post on the internet a lot about it.

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumerWe voted no on the McConnell-GOP bill because among other problems it includes huge bailouts without protections for people and workers and without accountability, and because it shortchanges our hospitals and healthcare workers who need our help.
These changes need to be made.

Livestreaming with some person because that's where his leverage is, not procedural work apparently!
Seriously. He's one of the only people that I trust at the WH podium. Which means Trump will fire him shortly of course.
Lets say Dems do get a one vote Majority. I doubt Mitch wants to delay this shit any further. House really needs to put out a bill either later tonight or early tomorrow.
The democrats still need 13+ republicans for their bill to clear cloture. IF McConnell even lets them vote on it (he won't)
People have been using the wrong word (R) for what's ahead because they can't wrap their brains around the magnitude of what we're having to do here.
One of the local hospital systems at the middle of the tempest here in Washington (Evergreen) posts number of cases total since first case ID, number of cases discharged w/o inpatient care, number of inpatient cases now discharged, and number of deaths. Every single day at 2PM.
Any drive through any small to medium sized town while looking at the notes on the door tells the story. The effects at play here at outright cataclysmic.
Jennifer Shutt @JenniferShuttMnuchin and Ueland walked into Schumer's office for their fifth meeting of the day about three minutes ago. Mnuchin said they're getting closer on a bipartisan stimulus package.
They just walked back into McConnell's office. https://twitter.com/jennifershutt/status/1241889172622884868 …

Jonathan Nicholson@JNicholsonInDCMnuchin on way to Schumer's says they're getting close. Asked how close, he holds up two fingers about an inch apart. "This close."

I'm usually happy with Safe D, but not in this context. :(
I hope they put McConnell on blast for this shit. Not just Dems, but Mnuchin and Trump. Yea they can blame the Dems for not agreeing to the original bill, but now that Mnuchin is working with Schumer on their bill, they should be throwing McConnell under the bus for trying to screw with the people who were originally the intended target for this bill.
That package better include a check in my mailbox every Friday until social distancing ends.
Even if he does numbers-wise, it won't matter bc he controls any votes that get brought to the floor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
But then you have to force the Senate to pass whatever they produce.
Triangulating the GOP Senate out of the picture by abusing the fact that they are not independent but slaved to the administration's wishes is 100% the right legislative approach. Individual senators have low immediate needs to answer to, Trump OTOH would do almost anything if he thought it would get him re-elected.
also can someone PLEASE get the kingdom of saudi arabia and russia to stop the oil war for few months ffs
