NEW: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals says it provided "a single 8 gram dose of REGN-COV2," an investigational Covid-19 therapy, in response to a "compassionate use" request from the president’s physicians

 

President Trump walks out of the White House under his own power to Marine One before heading to Walter Reed, followed by Mark Meadows

 

And off goes the helicopter on its way to Walter Reed.

 

Trump walked (very slowly) to Marine One

 

"Make no mistake, this was not just reckless behavior, this was a demonstration of a wanton disregard for human life. President Trump, now in quarantine, has become a symbol of his own failures." - @JakeTapper on the President's positive Covid-19 test.

 

They look terrified

 

BREAKING

 

Surreal

 

Here's Mike Lee sitting maskless at the White House ceremony for Judge Barret

 

BREAKING: President Trump is headed to Walter Reed hospital after being diagnosed with Covid-19, according to the White House

 

Ok. Where's Pence

 

BREAKING: Per WH pool reporter @fran_chambers - POTUS to be taken to Walter Reed.

 

Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by the Saudi government two years ago today. And yet the Saudis still get everything they ask from Donald Trump. No consequences. No justice. Just shameful.

 

850 Americans died of COVID-19 yesterday. None got the special “antibody cocktail.”

 

NEW—White House finally having mask mandate ordered by the National Security Advisor.

 

BREAKING—3 reporters who work at the White House have just tested positive for coronavirus today, according to CNN. #COVID19 Details coming.

 

WATCH: Joe Biden speaks on the campaign trail in Michigan

 

Chris Wallace just said on Fox that Trump arrived too late in Cleveland to have been tested by the clinic and that there was an "honor system" for the candidates to have arrived after already testing negative.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — White House doctor: Trump received experimental antibody cocktail, remains 'fatigued' after COVID-19 diagnosis.

 

Chris Wallace on Fox: "Well, I'm going to say something and folks—I'm just trying to give you the truth," he declared. "Dr. Scott Atlas is not an epidemiologist, is not an infectious disease specialist. He has no training in this area at all."

 

17 House Republicans voted against a measure condemning QAnon

 

The 7th Circuit judge who wasn't aware of Barrett's COVID-19 diagnosis this summer (see WaPo: https://t.co/qk5NyNOzYA) told me that she fully participated in court business, was on time with circulations and responses, and "otherwise remained an excellent colleague"

 

Hardly anyone wearing a mask at the Rose Garden Super Spreader event, and there's something very strange about this picture

 

If this was a Cleveland Clinic requirement it was not enforced. Which makes it not much of a requirement at all. And now we know definitively — not just in theory — the acquiescence to those who are reckless put everyone in the debate hall at risk.

 

The White House has access to the best testing, the best physicians (Ronny Jackson notwithstanding), the best scientists and more. They still got COVID. They gave teachers none of these resources and they want to force schools to open to full capacity.

 

I don't believe this because for Trump work is tweeting and he hasn't tweeted

 

Trump’s prep team included Christie, Hicks, Rudy Giuliani, former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, Jason Miller, Mark Meadows, Jared Kushner, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and communications director Alyssa Farah.

 

BREAKING: Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, who was at the WH SCOTUS announcement on Saturday and was criticized for not wearing a mask and shaking hands, has tested positive for COVID-19. This was just sent out to the campus. Unclear if he had it during the WH event.

 

Worth noting that Trump gave an unusually short speech in Duluth Wednesday evening, during which he complained about how cold he was

 

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), who attended debate Tuesday night, on Trump family who also attended: "The rules don’t apply to them,” he said. “They don’t have to pay taxes, they don’t wear masks, they can pay off porn stars. The rules just don’t apply to them.”

 

I’m happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID. Thank you to everyone for your messages of concern. I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands. — Joe Biden

 

In the wake of criticisms from hundreds of workers and others that it has insufficiently protected its workers, Amazon has announced that nearly 20,000 of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19 (or have been presumed so) since the pandemic began.

 

Just in - Joe and Jill Biden have tested negative, @mikememoli reports

Pelosi says negotiations on a new stimulus with the White House will press ahead and that Trump's positive Covid test changes the "dynamic"

 

NEW: Court blocks Census counting from ending on Monday, and orders it to continue until October 31.

 

"He has mild symptoms" -- Mark Meadows on Trump

 

MEADOWS says that he “fully” expects more positive results in the white house.

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “As sad as the diagnosis is that the President and first lady have, maybe it is the pivotal moment to take us to a different place as we fight this vicious virus based on science, not on politics."

 

Trump has had what one person described as cold-like symptoms. At a fundraiser he attended at Bedminster, where one attendee said the president came in contact with about 100 people, he seemed lethargic.

 

"Trump believed that taking the coronavirus seriously would panic the markets, threatening his presidency and his chance at reelection. Now his own denialism has placed both his presidency and his campaign in peril,"

 

⁦Farm workers are invisible to many people- but they have had a staunch advocate in ⁦@KamalaHarris⁩. She has marched and fought alongside farm workers for life-changing protections in California, and as a Senator she brought their cause to DC.

 

Amy Coney Barrett, who is tested daily for coronavirus, was negative today, White House tells me. She was with Trump Saturday, but not more recently. There are no plans to alter schedule for Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, which start Oct. 12, @LauraLitvan reports

JUST IN: White House official says Trump is experiencing 'mild' symptoms of coronavirus after positive test, @AP reports

 

Speaker Pelosi: Continuity of government is in place.

 

Speaker Pelosi: Maybe now that they see the president, with all the protection that he has, still having this exposure, it might be a learning experience. But it has to be something that is acted upon. This is tragic, but going into crowds was sort of brazen invitation for this.

 

Ronna McDaniel tested positive:

 

Four years ago today

 

Speaker Pelosi on @msnbc just now: “this is tragic, it’s very sad... Hopeful” it will lead to a “saner” approach to the pandemic. Said WH has not reached out about continuity of government issues.

 

My friend @MIAttyGen Dana Nessel is not messing around. Voter intimidation is a crime and AGs will prosecute anyone who tries to suppress the vote

 

Perspective: Trump’s "early" travel "bans" weren’t early, weren’t bans and didn’t work

 

In order to avoid going to trial in an investigation of sexual harassment against its former star Kimberly Guilfoyle, Fox agreed to pay a Guilfoyle accuser upward of $4 million, @JaneMayerNYer reports

 

‼️Guilfoyle’s assistant alleges Guilfoyle “subjected her frequently to degrading, abusive & sexually inappropriate behavior...(Guilfoyle) displayed herself naked & (shows) photographs of the genitalia of men with whom Guilfoyle had had sexual relations

Former commander of US forces in Afghanistan endorses Biden

 

I will be forever confused by Trump not going early and hard to get more stimulus before the election. He doesn't care about spending or debt. And it would only have helped his re-election cause. And he just never did it.

 

Joe Biden: "Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family."

 

QAnon conspiracy theorist and Inforwars host DeAnna Lorraine says that if anyone tests positive for COVID-19 after attending a Trump rally "it's probably a paid leftist or it's a hoax."

 

The perfect ad doesn’t ex—

 

Over months of the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump has kept to a busy schedule, packed with campaign rallies and public events. But Russian President Vladimir Putin, the authoritarian leader Trump admires so much, is living in a bubble.

 

Sir, nothing about you is "big." — E. Jean Carroll

 

As Russia ramps up their attacks on the U.S. election, @RepAdamSchiff says Trump “can’t be trusted to defend the country." He tells @Lawrence “the president doesn’t want you to vote and neither do the Russians. Go ahead and prove them wrong.”

 

News: Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been charged with various election law felonies by Michigan’s Attorney General. The Attorney General’s office says it will work with local law enforcement officials to bring Burkman and Wohl to Michigan so that they can be arraigned.

COVIDITIES

 

Trump was accompanied by all of his adult children + senior WH/campaign staff on AF1 en route to debate. All were seen w/o masks. Campaign manager Bill Stepien was seen on board w/o a mask, and then was spotted getting into a staff van w/Hope Hicks

 

Chad Wolf covering up the intelligence showing that Trump, Barr, and Vladimir Putin are operating from the same script (and Trump did on a "rigged election" in 2016, too).

 

Putin sends his best

 

This is President TRUMP's National Security Adviser (his second one, the first one pled guilty to 2 felonies). McMaster, Mostly Silent Until Now, Says Trump Is ‘Aiding and Abetting Putin’s Efforts’

 

Let this sink in: @PressSec KNEW ABOUT HOPE HICKS' COVID DIAGNOSIS BEFORE SHE BRIEFED YESTERDAY, MASKLESS.

 

Breaking overnight: Trump, first lady test positive for COVID-19

 

If both the President and Vice President are hospitalized, we will then have President Pelosi.

 

Breaking—Hope Hicks was indeed SYMPTOMATIC on Wednesday night when she got tested. Which means she was most definitely contagious even before Wednesday (one can transmit while pre-symptomatic).

 

Biden campaign has asked their scheduled radio pooler not to travel with the Democratic candidate tomorrow. The radio pooler was on the Minnesota AF1 flights on Weds. White House Medical Unit thinks the Trump pool was at low risk of exposure Weds, but team Biden being cautious.

 

And like the boy who cried wolf, many question the veracity of Trump’s claim that he has coronavirus. A way out of the debates? A way out of the presidency? Pretending to “defeat” the disease? Or does he really have it? #TrumpCovid

 

Please pray for Joe Biden. He was in the same room as all these selfish people.

 

On a serious note, this is a national embarrassment and a total failure of almost incomprehensible proportions. Particularly after Boris Johnson and Jair Bolsonaro tested positive, the WH should have done everything in their power to keep Trump from getting it.

 

Here's Hope Hicks with Jared Kushner, Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, and Nicholas Luna -- none of them wearing masks -- on their way to board a helicopter on Wednesday, hours before Hicks tested positive for coronavirus

Pete Wilson showing impeccable political timing as always

 

Contradicting public health professionals, @realDonaldTrump has just told the Al Smith Dinner in recorded remarks that the end of the pandemic is in sight.

MYTH: Big Pharma says their price hikes on life-saving medication pay for research MATH: This drug company spent nearly 3x more on stock buybacks than research To the tune of $28,600,000,000.

 

This hasn't gotten enough attention, but you need to know. Everybody needs to know. 1/ It's about the massive coverup campaign underway to disguise the octopus-like Russian election interference operation being run on Trump's behalf. Please read this whole thing.

 

When the First Lady doesn’t “give a f*** about Christmas stuff”...

 

WATCH: Hong Kong police arrest protesters marching to demand the repeal of controversial national security laws imposed by Beijing.

 

Possibilities: 1. Trump actually has COVID 2. Trump is lying to avoid looking like a jackass in another debate 3. Trump is lying to set up a medical resignation to avoid losing by over 100 electoral votes 4. The WH should have quit testing, cases would have gone to zero!

 

HA! Parscale got a target letter from DOJ.

 

Hallie Jackson reports that Jim Jordan, exposed maskless to Hicks and both Trumps who now have Covid, is declining to quarantine. This feels like a sequel to Idiocracy.

 

What's going to happen in state legislatures, particularly in swing states with Republican-controlled legislatures, is going to be really, really important and we need to start building up muscles in the national media and as citizens to watch for scams that threaten the election
