With Trump pitting states against one another in bidding for scarce medical supplies and retaliating against states like NY and Michigan, it’s little wonder that states like Rhode Island are targeting New Yorkers for mandatory quarantine. Articles of Confederation, here we come! — PolitiTweet.org

“Talking about death is ultimately talking about life — about who and what matters to us, and how we can live well even when we are dying. Rather than being motivated by fear and anxiety, we can open these discussions from a place of care and concern.” https://t.co/D8W1U2YXqF — PolitiTweet.org

Even threats that the First Amendment makes obviously unenforceable can have a dangerous chilling effect in deterring political criticism. In that sense, Trump’s unlawful threats are far from empty. https://t.co/vdnkYN2Vgi — PolitiTweet.org

The coronavirus outbreak may last a year or two, but some elements of pre-pandemic life will likely be won back in the meantime. https://t.co/jS7dqvw9Ho — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re running short on things to worry about, try this one on for size: It’s a splendid essay on an unresolved puzzle about presidential succession by my brilliant colleague @jacklgoldsmith and my remarkable student @bmillergootnick: https://t.co/Ot3W1B9bBE — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s signing statement on the Coronavirus Act is without legal effect. Trumpian bluster can’t trump the president’s Article II duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” — PolitiTweet.org

By virtually unanimous consent, Rep. Thomas Massie is a complete jerk. Nuff said. — PolitiTweet.org

So maybe Trump hasn’t really pulled the Defense Production Act trigger after all! With Trump especially, it’s always crucial to search for the devil in the details — PolitiTweet.org

It seems Trump is treating Michigan and other states whose governors don’t kiss his ass the way he was impeached for treating Ukraine. He’s a serial extortionist. — PolitiTweet.org

Whut? Lawyers I know in Detroit are asking why Michigan shouldn’t bring a federal suit to enjoin this vindictive presidential discrimination against the state and its citizens, citing the equality principle of Shelby County v. Holder (2013)(Roberts, C.J.). NY and Washington too! — PolitiTweet.org

Our lower reported death rate seems to reflect the fact that many of those recorded in the U.S. as dying of pneumonia, fever with respiratory distress, or sepsis with respiratory failure in fact died from COVID-19 but before our slower test results were available. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve not seen this explained: As of 3/27, why is COVID-19 THREE TIMES AS LETHAL outside the U.S.? UNITED STATES: confirmed cases 93,842 deaths 1,428 ~ 1.5% mortality GLOBAL: confirmed cases 541,626 deaths 24,137 ~ 4.4% mortality Whassup? — PolitiTweet.org

We just filed El Paso’s brief urging the Fifth Circuit to uphold the federal injunction against Trump’s phony “emergency” wall. Stay tuned! https://t.co/hhePmTgMZl — PolitiTweet.org

We DO need the Defense Production Act. A helluva lot more than we need this buck-passing dufuss of a Deflector in Chief! A real question: Of what use is he to anyone? An illusory president who presides only over his own reality show? Whom does he help? https://t.co/N0a5sQO4kK — PolitiTweet.org

A month ago yesterday, on Feb. 26, Trump declared that “You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be close to zero.” Not exactly, Donald. Over the intervening month, the 15 infected people in the U.S. have become 91,000. And over 1,300 have died. — PolitiTweet.org

Now he’s using his impeachment for abuse of power as an excuse for his impeachable dereliction of duty. The poster child for chutzpah. https://t.co/vNk5rhyobP — PolitiTweet.org

Nice thought, but in what sense would this bill, even if enacted over McConnell’s opposition & Trump’s veto, “force” the Orange Slug to move an inch? Too bad a writ of mandamus wouldn’t work in a circumstance like this. See Mississippi v. Johnson. Contrast Marbury v. Madison. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is ensuring the avoidable death of countless New Yorkers by deliberately sitting on 20,000 urgently needed ventilators so he can blame Cuomo. His moral culpability is that of a murderer even though the law doesn’t call him one. https://t.co/o2ja2dXIx4 — PolitiTweet.org
