Trump just comes out and says it: The GOP is hurt when it’s easier to vote. Democrats “had levels of voting” in their stimulus proposal, Trump said, “that if you ever agreed to it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again.” https://t.co/GTXTW8S8vZ — PolitiTweet.org

Volvo joins Ford, Honda, Volkswagen, BMW in spurning Trump fuel efficiency standards foisted by refiners & polluters. Fossil fuel scheme merits thorough investigation: role of @MarathonPetroCo; DOJ antitrust warning; tariff threats to automakers; more? https://t.co/TumfUZF7hp — PolitiTweet.org

Dept. of Understatement: "Where there’s money there’s also frequently mischief." One might add, where there’s Trump there’s virtually always mischief. Well done, Speaker. This is great. https://t.co/S5Z57XBTFt — PolitiTweet.org

April is here, Mr. President, and so is COVID. It’s time to do more to protect frontline workers and make up the ground you’ve ceded to this pandemic. https://t.co/UOHdG17SaH — PolitiTweet.org

Why on earth is @realDonaldTrump sitting on his hands while our health care workers protect themselves with trash bags? Presidents use the Defense Production Act all the time. It’s been invoked thousands of times on Trump’s watch! https://t.co/Y2Yupo2BFV — PolitiTweet.org

Bravo to @liveunitedri for organizing a major effort to help local nonprofits so they can in turn help Rhode Islanders get back on their feet during this crisis. #401gives https://t.co/yuQEKMinWc — PolitiTweet.org

Now it’s official – the #COVID19 crisis rages and Trump refuses to allow people to find insurance through the #ACA. Unbelievable. https://t.co/MhKI2Cb6cL — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #CensusDay, which means that everyone has received an invitation to complete the #2020Census. #GetCounted to ensure Rhode Island will get the funds necessary to support our hospitals, schools, roads, and other vital programs. https://t.co/OnehTsxItJ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is making it every governor and hospital for themselves. Instead of joining us together, we are left to pick up the pieces and compete for scarce supplies. https://t.co/v7WWh5HiJ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Still can’t believe that with full executive emergency powers in public heath crisis, Trump administration can’t manage protective equipment, and sites like these have to do the work. Shameful. https://t.co/6aFrW534V3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Now is when to prepare, or we’ll have recovery phase failure, like your defense phase failure. Who has that recovery planning job, exactly, and how is it going? https://t.co/OmQ8VMFEx6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Trump admin: so who’s got that? If you don’t get recovery right, you get renewed spread of disease. Who is planning? — the equipment needs, the disinfection protocols, the testing required? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

But then comes recovery, which isn’t just back to normal. It’s like normal, but with public health screening, contact tracing, lots of testing (even as simple as temperature sensing), mask-wearing & disinfection routines. That’s how people get back to work, travel & activities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

We’re now in suppression mode, and with no vaccine or cure our weapon is social distancing, to slow the spread. When we start seeing fewer cases reported each day, that will signal suppression is working. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

People who know about this pandemic tell me we have three phases: defense, suppression and recovery. Trump blew the defense phase with inadequate testing and missed early countermeasures. So we’re past that. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I’m pleased that the President has granted our request for a disaster declaration – one more tool for marshaling federal resources to help Rhode Islanders through this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
