Yes, @NYGovCuomo is a ventilator hoarder from way back. Everyone knows that! 🙄 — PolitiTweet.org

Since the @POTUS is mostly using this podium time for his own political purposes, maybe the networks should pick the briefings up when Pence and the public health experts begin briefing and the president leaves? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Did ANYONE forecast seven million in unemployment complains today, as the @POTUS suggested. Every forecast I saw came in just where it landed today-a staggering 3.3 million, by far the largest number in history. It’s absurd to hear him try and spin the number. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Another question: Why did the WH ignore the pandemic playbook that sat on their shelves, and which would have triggered federal efforts to meet the demand for ventilators and other supplies two months ago? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Question: In the face of this dire shortage of equipment, has he invoked the Defense Production Act even once? — PolitiTweet.org

Drearily familiar playbook: Attack the media. How about the virus?!? Even the @VP can’t find the energy to engage in the usual nodding. — PolitiTweet.org

Shout out to @GovPritzker, his big sister @pennypritzker, United Way of IL, Alliance of IL Community Foundations & others for launching new COVID-19 Response Fund to support families/communities across Illinois. To help, visit: https://t.co/yrhddrxqb1 #WeAreOneIL #ICRF #COVID19 — PolitiTweet.org

This guy has been slicing and slinging corned beef @mannysdeli for like 35 years. He’s a great person and a Chicago institution!! (And I’d say that even if he didn’t overstuff my sandwiches and slip me extra pickles!) — PolitiTweet.org

“When you are getting selective facts or feel that you are being deceived,” makes a crisis like this worse, says @NYGovCuomo. — PolitiTweet.org

As @SpeakerPelosi navigates the legislative responses to the COVID-19 siege, @ktumulty of the @washingtonpost sends us this fascinating, in-depth profile of an historic leader. Well worth your time. https://t.co/CuB2rQKFvT — PolitiTweet.org

Now the “big beautiful wall.” @realDonaldTrump’s greatest hits. In the midst of an epic crisis that is getting worse. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We should all be grateful that there are good people in government fighting to solve this crisis DESPITE the sabotage of an unstable president who cannot think about anything but himself. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Reporters should not allow the @POTUS to savage a fellow correspondent who is asking a legitimate question he finds uncomfortable and refuses to answer. They should serially repeat the question until they get one. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Now a briefing on COVID-19 becomes a platform for bashing our allies. These are just becoming Trump rallies in a smaller venue. He fulminates as as public health care experts fighting a killer virus shuffle uncomfortably behind him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“It’s hard not to be happy with the job we’re doing.” These pressers are a few useful facts sprinkled lightly throughout long, strange, crazy riffs of wild self-puffery. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

For all the tussling, the $2T package the Congress and Administration hammered out, however imperfect, is significant and desperately needed relief. We can go back to arguing how much government we need another time. Right now, the answer is A LOT and this is a big step forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Come on, man. How about banning schoolboy taunts for the duration of the crisis? Or how about for a day? https://t.co/AkfENdiYf1 — PolitiTweet.org
