God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere.
This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.
We must get its spread under control. Enough.

Thanks to everyone who’s said such kind things after I talked about Susan’s COVID experience tonight.
Prayers are very welcome.
If there’s one other thing we could ask, it’s to please find new ways to show support for health workers where you live.
And slow the spread. Please.

I admit to being stuck on the fact that the President just convened reporters to announce the 1st US coronavirus death, a man in his 50s in Washington State.
The president said "She was a wonderful woman."
This is ridiculous.
Just stop. Stop talking. Let the scientists talk.

(1) turkey wants to push the kurds out of that part of syria.
(2) trump gives ‘em the OK to invade.
(3) pence brokers a “deal” in which the kurds... must get out of that part of syria.
(4) the US agrees to un-sanction turkey.
that’s a “deal” like being mugged is a deal.

Do not amplify misinformation.
If someone is consistently hyping snake-oil miracle cures, or making up stories about policies that aren't real, stop putting a camera or a mic on that person as a source for information in this crisis.
Rebut lies. Tell the truth. Cite sources.

One point:
Senator McConnell said he had the votes to pass the resolution distributed last night.
Clearly, he didn't — or he wouldn't have had to make last-minute changes to it today.
Just worth keeping in mind in terms of his future assertions about what votes he says he has.

Why did he yell out the part about "YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS"?
The point of the speech was for the president to announce that he would deploy "heavily armed" soldiers inside the US.
Then he urgently shouted out the part reminding people that American civilians can be armed?

Forgive me, but Mr. Barr cannot be complaining that he is being bullied by the president.
He happily intervened in cases of interest to the president, to the president's benefit, to the point where prosecutors resigned in protest.
What he feels bullied by is the backlash to it.

Why, then, did Vice President Pence say every American could be tested.
Why did the Administration say they'd have a million tests available by the end of last week.
As of March 9, 78 state and local public health labs across 50 states now have the capacity to test up to 75,000 people for #COVID19. State/local public health staff determine which specimens should be tested. See updated interim testing guidance: bit.ly/331U9jY.

Re these comments from Senator Chuck Grassley today:
Sen Grassley was the lead Senate sponsor of a bill to make it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns -- it was a standalone bill; that's all it did.
It passed Congress a year ago today, and Pres. Trump signed it into law.
Sen. Chuck Grassley says Congress needs to concentrate on how people with "mental reasons for not being able to handle a gun" are able to get them.
