REPORTER: Isn't there a double standard when WH staffers can get tested every day and normal Americans can't at all? TRUMP: If we didn't get the tests, you'd be up complaining ... I understand you very well. Better than you understand yourself


.@weijia: Why is this a global competition to you when Americans are losing their lives every day? TRUMP: Maybe that's a question you should ask China. WEIJA: Why are you saying that to me, specifically? TRUMP: I'm saying it to anybody who would ask a nasty question like that.


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.

Republicans are increasingly nervous they could lose control of the Senate this fall as a potent combination of a cratering economy, Trump's handling of the pandemic and rising enthusiasm among Democratic voters dims their electoral prospects.


Opinion: Will the Supreme Court permit Trump to be above the law?


“If we open up, and do exactly what we were doing in March, we’re going to see a huge increase in cases,” “We’ll go back to that same exponential trajectory.”


Very dangerous times for our democracy. Essentially Trump has argued he may not be held accountable by Congress. He may refuse their requests for info. He may not be investigated by law enforcement.... period. Supreme Court needs to defend our Constitution

South Korean officials scrambled to contain a new coronavirus outbreak, tracing thousands of people who may have been infected in a cluster of cases linked to nightclubs and bars in the capital city of Seoul


Trump going after Obama seems strange. Trying to have Hillary as his perpetual opponent? Sure? Digging for dirt on Biden? Of course. But Obama won a majority twice. Yet Trump surely believes that’s because McCain and Romney didn’t play the race card. Trump will be happy to.

I know it’s now the new normal for the press to ignore the tweets—even the insane ones that are somehow the new normal, but he started around 6am and he’s tweeting an average of about once every 5 minutes. And most of them are completely unhinged and detached from reality.
