Who among us hasn’t boarded the wrong private jet.


Bloomberg buying a 3 minute ad chunk on CBS and NBC Sunday night to talk about the Coronavirus


Nothing gives me joy like exercising my right to vote!!!


"The theme of this year’s CPAC was “America vs. Socialism,” as Trumpworld gears up to run against Bernie Sanders, even if they’re not quite ready to say that out loud," says


We now have an intelligence chief who should not have been fired, an unqualified nominee who should not be confirmed, and an acting director who is patently unfit. All while our elections are perilously at risk of foreign interference. Just the way the President likes it.


Opinion: This "peace deal" with the Taliban is not really a peace deal


A distinction without a difference.


Was it a man or a woman? These kind of mistakes make us think our government is incompetent.


As Speaker and leader of the House Democrats, it’s Nancy’s duty to rally voters, fight for the people and defend our democracy from Trump-Republican attacks. Watch live as Nancy takes the stage to rally thousands of voters!


#BREAKING: US considering closing the southern border with Mexico “very strongly”


There are 5x as many confirmed cases of the #coronavirus in Canada as Mexico. Why isn’t Donald Trump focused on our northern border? I’ll give you three guesses but you’ll only need one.


President Trump says the 1st known case of an American dying of the novel coronavirus was a woman. WA governor says, per state Department of Health and the King County (Seattle) Public Health Department, it was a man.


It is so painful to listen to, could we get a doctor out here?


Washington state says it’s a 19-year-old male who died from #coronavirus.


POTUS's doped-up, 40rpm ponderings on wounded warriors and the nature of the fighting in Afghanistan was possibly the most unpresidential statement on a "peace deal" ever. And yes he ended it with the threat of annihilation.


Trump has a Coronavirus presser at 1:30. He called it a hoax hrs ago, which will increase the infection & death toll for ppl who listen to his nonsense. It’s important to not believe a word he says- look to state govts. He’s delusional & endangering US lives by trying to hide it


First American dies of Coronavirus in US.


When Mussolini was still Prime Minister, he used to joke about staying in office for 20 years. No one understood what he meant until it was too late.


JUST IN: The U.S. has reported its first death from the coronavirus. The victim was in Washington State.


You might have heard some Trump Incel poster child came to troll me today. It did not go as he expected.


There’s always a tweet, Afghanistan troop withdrawal edition


The incompetence of the @realDonaldTrump Administration in dealing with #coronavirus outbreak is staggering. Viruses don’t care about taxes. You know what would help to stop the spread? Testing. But initial tests were faulty & had overly restrictive criteria


Krugman: "I wouldn't trust him to feed my cat."


In 2017, I wrote about a cable news host being gross and inappropriate with me. I was afraid to name him at the time. I'm not anymore; it was Chris Matthews! And his sexist exchange with Warren this week inspired me to revisit those moments and name him


Nice ad. Go Jamie Harrison. SC deserves better than Lindsey. The USA deserves better than Donald Trump. Pick winners in your primary tomorrow!

Kim Jong Un warns of 'serious consequences' if coronavirus spreads to North Korea


North Korea's First Confirmed Coronavirus Patient Shot Dead


I may have contacted with Coronavirus I found out today. I saw a pt last week 2x whose relative tested positive for community acquired Coronavirus. I was diagnosed with pneumonia Monday. Until my pt gets his test results, I’m in quarantine after a day in ER

Los Altos?

Chanting “Russia without Putin,” thousands march through Moscow in largest opposition rally since summer protests.


Rep. @tedlieu, "Does Iran have more enriched Uranium now than when Donald Trump took office?" Sec. Pompeo, "Yes it does." .... Sec. Pompeo, "Wait! Let me explain!" Saw his career flash before his eyes there.


#SaturdayThoughts🤔 Does Tom Cotton work for America, or Israel? FACTS:


Even if there's no real chance that @RepRatcliffe will be confirmed by the Senate, the formal submission of his nomination will allow @RichardGrenell to continue to serve as Acting DNI past March 11 — and for another 210 days _after_ Ratcliffe's rejection or withdrawal.


Why did you deny @IdeaGov asbestos claim @StateFarm? That is disgusting


Trump last night: coronavirus is a hoax; and his supporters should dishonestly vote in the Democratic primary for his weakest opponent, Sanders. Trump is dangerous to our public health and our civic health. South Carolinians: Please select a Democratic nominee who can defeat him


"Border security is also health security. And you've all seen the wall is going up like magic...the Democrat policy of open borders is a direct threat to the health & well being of all Americans. You see it w/ the coronavirus" - Trump's nonsense rant about health benefits of wall


Trump’s campaign messaging is now officially that concerns over the spread of coronavirus are a political hoax launched by the Democrats. We’re in trouble.


The State Department raises its travel advisory for Italy amid coronavirus outbreak


We could get an en banc review of McGahn decision by DC Circuit. That’s a review of this decision by all active members of court, not just 3-judge panel like this one. Either way they decide, though, I think we are destined for SCOTUS. CJ Roberts, get ready for your close-up.


Fox News is showcasing coronavirus analysis from a guy who said he hadn’t washed his hands in 10 years and doesn’t believe in germs


Official death toll in Iran is 34. BBC says hospital sources in Iran report that the real death toll is at least 210.

#Turkey's president #Erdogan: "I asked [#Russia's ruler Vladimir] #Putin: 'What's your business [in #Idlib]? If you establish a base, do so but get out of our way and leave us face to face with the [#Asad] regime'."


This family lives in world of "alternative facts." @DonaldJTrumpJr, do not play these games with the safety of Americans. This is not about liking your dad. It is about hoping he will do his job and wishing he did not destroy his ability to be trusted!!


Opinion: A court just brutally ripped the mask off Trump’s cruelty


Right now, Lindsey Graham is at the Trump rally clapping to Macho Man as he waits for the President to make his entrance


Now Putin is Sisyphus, fighting a war he can never win because it is a rebel insurgency. It’s also a war he can’t afford. But because Russia’s economy sucks under Putin, his strongman image is all he has. If he goes home defeated, having spent Russians pensions, he’s toast


Watch Mike Pompeo laugh when @tedlieu tells @SecPompeo that it’s shameful he’s only giving Congress a few hours to answer questions on the life & death issues of the coronavirus, because he’s running off to talk to a special interest group


Pope Francis canceled official engagements for the third day in a row Saturday as he battled an apparent cold,


Buttigieg will visit with Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter in Georgia Sunday.


Roger Stone's criminal trial crimped his usual style, but it was back with a vengeance in a deposition just before his sentencing


As I have previously posted, the World Health Organization altogether seemed a bit too far in Beijing's pocket. Now confirmation the Australian Govt & Chief Medical Officer didn't fully trust the WHO management of COVID19 crisis


America needs you as states prepare for the next round of redistricting. It's up to all of us to make sure we have a fair democracy. Join me in the fight for fair maps. Join me and @allontheline today: http://allontheline.org/volunteer — Barack Obama


"I covered the Great Recession in 2008 and 2009. That was a terrifying time — but this seems a lot scarier," writes CNN's


There was a aenior commander in a unit I was a part of during Desert Storm who also didn’t sleep. Called folks in the middle of the night with strange questions. Negatively affected morale. He had a nervous breakdown on the 3d day of the attack. Sleep is critical to all.


The best protection against coronavirus is washing your hands -- but you have to do it properly:


Two billionaires are trying their hardest to help a Socialist win the Democratic nomination, knowing that he would almost certainly lose to Trump in a landslide. Are their egos driving that, or was that their real goal all along?


So Twitter will be run by Neo-conservative pro-Trump billionaire Paul Singer? Oh. Very subtle.


Under my #WealthTax, Jeff Bezos would pay approximately $7.3 billion, which would be just about three and a half pounds of this 58 pound mountain of rice.


My #WealthTax would pay for Universal Child Care, high-quality public education, student loan debt cancellation, universal free public college, and help fully finance #MedicareForAll. Use our calculator to see how much other billionaires would pay!


Trump encouraged his supporters in South Carolina to vote for Bernie in the Democratic primary tomorrow. Bernie is polling second to Biden in South Carolina. They're still scared of Joe the most


NEW: The NYC Department of Health is raising concerns about testing saying in a statement, "testing for coronavirus is not available yet in New York City. The kits that were sent to us have demonstrated performance issues and cannot be relied upon to provide an accurate result.”


Warren’s sag is still the weird mystery of this electoral season


Trump calls COVID-19 a media and Democratic Party "hoax" at his rally, but at the same time has canceled the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Las Vegas, 3/14, and a White House visit by Austria’s chancellor 3/3, because of COVID-19.


UPDATE: Over the course of several hours on Friday, officials in three states announced that residents with no known risk factors, such as travel to global hot spots, had tested positive for the new coronavirus


Maybe @ewarren needs to fight against Sanders that much more. Giving him a pass is hurting her


"Is that the question? ... we agreed today to talk about Iran" -- Mike Pompeo gets mad immediately during his testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee because @davidcicilline had to gall to ask him a question about the coronavirus, which he doesn't want to talk about


Microsoft founder Bill Gates called the coronavirus a "once-in-a-century pandemic" and urged leaders to both "solve the immediate problem and keep it from happening again" in an op-ed for the New England Journal of Medicine


At this point can someone explain to me a realistic path to the nomination for Klobuchar, Steyer and Buttigieg?


Elliott looks to remove Jack Dorsey as Twitter chief executive


UPDATE: Speaker Pelosi says House will ask full bench of DC Circuit to take up McGahn subpoena case. Court leans to Dem appointees, 7-4


Today @MickMulvaneyOMB claimed the press is covering COVID-19 to make @realDonaldTrump look bad. Today on the South Lawn he said the same thing. At a rally he called the coverage a Hoax. But I sat in an hour-long briefing with the CDC task force. No one has a handle on this. Fact


I care as much about @RTErdogan’s troops as he cares about the Kurds and not buying Russian planes.@NATO isn’t involved even slightly. Russia shot at them inside Syria. Article 5 does not apply. The Kurds send their regards. Putin & Erdogan can keep killing each other


On ‘The Apprentice’ the contestant that was made the ‘project manager’ for that weeks episode was the one who got fired by Trump is their team lost. Just a reminder Mike, have fun and enjoy your 25k a plate fundraiser tonite.


United States expresses concern over arrest of Hong Kong publisher


Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was scheduled to go on all 5 Sunday talk shows and then Pence was put in charge of the coronavirus response and he was ordered to cancel


It’s like people don’t think it’s a hoax


.@realDonaldTrump Chief of Staff Mulvaney said #coronavirus is not a death sentence. But it’s a death sentence for about 2% who get it. Let’s say a school w/ 2000 kids has 25% who get it. 2% death rate means 10 kids would die. Administration needs to stop downplaying the risk


Fox News wants to remind us that the stock market has in fact gone up a lot since the Great Depressio


Maybe we’ll use the nuclear


He’s not just a useless President, he’s a useless human being. I saw the responses yesterday on here from trumpers, “ it’s a hoax.” The whole world is trying to respond pragmatically. However this President continues with his LIES, LIES and more LIES.


Now that Ratcliffe has actually been nominated for DNI, reupping my @Slate interview with @nedprice on what that nomination would mean


Election 2020: Democrats make final arguments in South Carolina


Mick Mulvaney blamed the media for exaggerating the risk and spread of coronavirus: “They think this will bring down the president, that’s what this is all about."


Self explanatory


The way Trump’s followers are now coming after members of the media simply reporting on Coronavirus is truly terrifying. You guys do realize his pandemic-denying hubris could kill you and your loved ones, right?


"Yes, your tax dollars brought the worst Superman and the worst Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the White House to entertain the president. Think of all the minutes of Fox 'news' he missed,"


Read the chyron. Then look at the numbers just above it. Beyond parody.


Trump agreed to Putin's proposal to hold a summit with the leaders of Russia, China, Britain and France - the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (known as the P5) - to discuss arms control

FFS

Disgusting. They continue to book this rank misogynist. Stop, MSNBC. Stop.


I find it absolute malfeasance that @TomPerez is not alerting Dems - every day - about Republican strategy of voting @SenSanders in open primaries. Everyone must denounce this daily. When you shine the spotlight on cheaters, they scatter.


Have you met Joanne Wrong? She’s running for Congress.

There are no aliens, “ It’s a hoax.”


Hours before South Carolina’s polls open, Bernie Sanders said at a breakfast yesterday that he has “a shot to win this” after beginning the primary 30 percentage points behind Joe Biden
