A White House official says Stephen Miller, Katie's husband, is “an ultimate germaphobe” who scrupulously sanitizes his hands and maintains social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Katie Miller, who tested positive today, has attended nearly all of the White House coronavirus task force meetings, led by Mike Pence, in the Situation Room. No aides wore masks in those meetings, except occasionally Matt Pottinger. https://t.co/YXcN4emcxI — PolitiTweet.org

A former Trump WH official relays complaints from current staffers: “Normally the White House would defer to the medical unit on safety. They would defer to the Secret Service on security. But in this WH, everybody seems to be just doing their own thing.” https://t.co/YXcN4emcxI — PolitiTweet.org

Like Trump, most of his aides, including Mike Pence and Mark Meadows, have not worn face masks, and the president has huddled with guests at the White House for photo-ops that undermine the efforts at social distancing that do take place. https://t.co/YXcN4emcxI — PolitiTweet.org

Several security officials with executive branch experience said in interviews Friday that the White House has taken a lax and risky approach that, in their view, reflected Trump’s consistent efforts to minimize the threat from the virus. https://t.co/YXcN4emcxI — PolitiTweet.org

With the confirmed U.S. death toll from coronavirus surpassing 75,000, researchers are warning of an additional 75,000 “deaths of despair" from drugs, alcohol and suicide. New research lays out different, all horrifying, models: https://t.co/ukK1RJQ2NP — PolitiTweet.org

In response to an inquiry from The Washington Post, Mikovits said she could not participate in an interview until after Mother’s Day but offered up a PowerPoint presentation that she claimed backed up the allegations she made in “Plandemic," the film banned from social media. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

In the years after the 2009 study was retracted, Mikovits was fired from her job leading a research institute, arrested for theft and sued by her former employer. Meanwhile, she doubled down on debunked theories. https://t.co/VVGXHEfSd3 — PolitiTweet.org

This distinction is legally significant. The property is taxed as a private club — not as a residence. Trump’s own attorney assured local officials in Palm Beach before they voted to approve the club in 1993 that he would not live there. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump agreed in writing to change the use of the Mar-a-Lago property from a single-family residence to a private club owned by a corporation he controls to lower his tax burden but now he's using it to claim FL residency. @RoigFranzia has the receipts: https://t.co/0I5WV1sKRD — PolitiTweet.org

Some stuff that shouldn't get lost in the shuffle: One of Trump’s campaign pollsters compared Michael Flynn to *Nelson Mandela* last night. Trump hints he might fire another FBI director before the election. The president's son is calling for revenge. https://t.co/1052CbCeMG — PolitiTweet.org

There’s still a bear in the woods. Russia is spreading disinformation about us vis-a-vis coronavirus, as Trump says he'll send them ventilators. The Intelligence Community has seen evidence of the Kremlin's intention to interfere in the 2020 election, etc. https://t.co/1052CbCeMG — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump says he discussed the DOJ/Flynn matter on Thursday during a phone call with Vladimir Putin and raised the possibility that they could work together more closely now that the heat's off. “And that was a very nice call,” Trump said, adding that arms control is on the table. — PolitiTweet.org

"Russia will see this as a huge victory. A sign both of American weakness and of a corrupt judicial system, in which they can continue meddling in our affairs and get away with it,” said former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos, who oversaw operations in Europe and Russia in 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Has Trump taken his eye off the ball? Accusing law enforcement of “treason” as he seeks to settle scores is another indication that POTUS's attention has shifted away from the contagion that's killed more than 75,000 Americans & caused 14.7% unemployment. https://t.co/1052CbCeMG — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

How will history judge Barr's decision to let Flynn off? “History is written by the winner,” the AG said. “So it largely depends on who's writing the history.” Barr then made clear he intends to write it. His revealing quote is my jumping off point in 202: https://t.co/1052CbCeMG — PolitiTweet.org

Those anxieties run deepest in poor, minority and undocumented communities, which have been RAVAGED the hardest by the CONTAGION. Today's Big Idea podcast tells the story of a man named Julio Ayala who died at home in East Boston because of these fears: https://t.co/ohFenFKsqG — PolitiTweet.org

FEAR is the toxin of our age. People FEAR that hospitalization will bring financial ruin. They FEAR that ICE agents will detain them and send them to their native land. They FEAR that they will die alone in an unfamiliar place, rather than surrounded by loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Across America, the coronavirus is killing thousands of people at their homes. People are being found slumped over their computer keyboards, lifeless on couches and keeled over in bathrooms. These are people who might have lived in many cases, but they were AFRAID to get care. — PolitiTweet.org
