American Veteran >>> trumps 11 minute pathetic reading of someone else’s words was the death knell for his presidency. No one could possibly believe that this idiot is capable in any way of saving our country. His moronic plans were ridiculous.

Peter Baker >>> At the moment, the markets have now wiped out roughly 83 percent of the gains of the entire Trump presidency

Jon Cooper >>> Trump owns this. He owns all of this. Our nation’s failure to respond adequately to the coronavirus outbreak. The resulting stock market crash. The unfathomable damage to the US economy. The growing death toll. ALL OF IT.

“We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to
the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is
inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.” MLK

Daniel Summers >>> Since @chrislhayes is talking about Trump’s lies about coronavirus testing, let me state plainly again: I am a doctor in an area with a known nearby coronavirus outbreak. I have absolutely no way of ordering or directly accessing tests for my patients if they show symptoms.

Ramtin Arablouei >>> My Uncle in Iran passed away from corona virus. He was gentle and kind. He’d been battling cancer for several years. His family had to stand one hundred meters away and watch him be buried by men in hazmat gear. My Aunt is now sick. Please take this virus seriously.

Jared Yates Sexton >>> I’m begging you to understand something. Trump is an authoritarian. All authoritarians are insecure and incompetent because of that insecurity. He can’t help but make this worse and as it does he’ll blame vulnerable populations and seize power. We are in incredible danger

Ana Cabrera >>> JUST IN: An American Airlines pilot has tested positive for #coronavirus, according to the airline and a second source familiar with the matter.

Methy Anne >>> BREAKING: White House insiders suggest Trump refuses corona virus testing because his DNA has been legally requested in his rape cases.

Joe >>> Republicans have been harping on government bloat for decades. Trump fires scientists working for the nation and well here we are. They won't learn from this. They'll blame Democrats, Obama, Hillary's emails, Hunter Biden, and on and on. Be ready. It's going to get worse.

Ronald Klain >>> Facts: The Obama administration tested 1 million people for H1N1 in the first month after the first US diagnosed case. The first US coronavirus case was 50+ days ago. And we haven't event tested 10,000 people yet.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe sees shift in Fox News virus coverage: ‘Even Sean Hannity said the White House screwed up’ https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/msnbcs-...use-screwed-up/

Ms. Krassenstein >>> Mar 11 - BREAKING: Dr. Fauci, a member of Trump's Coronavirus team, announced that up to 100 million Americans will contract #COVID19 within a year. That's 1/3 of America. Here's the math: 3.4% fatality rate = 3.4 million Americans dead (1% of the country). And Trump calls it a HOAX!

Carlton Larson (Professor of Constitutional Law and Legal History) >>> And even if the election was delayed, Trump's and Pence's terms would still end at noon on January 20, 2021. If no election has been held by that point, the Speaker of the House would assume the powers of the presidency under the Presidential Succession Act.

Senator Sherrod Brown >>> Two years ago, President Trump fired the entire global health security team at the White House. Their job?Managing pandemics. Now we're all paying the price for President Trump's decisions.

Amy Siskind >>> You can see how Americans are already starting to take in the gravity of what his happening and shift their behavior. We will save our country together, despite Trump. Gratitude to Speaker Pelosi and the House for working late into the night to pass relief.

An 82-year-old woman who tested positive for coronavirus died in a New York City hospital Friday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo confirmed on a media conference call today, marking the state’s first coronavirus-related death. The woman was “long suffering with emphysema,” Cuomo said.

Bill Kristol (conservative and former magazine owner) >>> The more I’ve thought about it, and trying to set aside my (well-justified!) loathing of Trump, I’m increasingly appalled by the tone of yesterday’s Rose Garden event: far too much complacency and back-patting by all parties, and far too little a sense of urgency and emergency.

Kyle Griffin >>> NBC's Kelly O'Donnell just reported on MSNBC that a member of the White House health team is taking the temperature of members of the press in the briefing room before the briefing with Mike Pence begins.

Jimmy >>> How can anyone in the world, trust a man that flat-out said: “I’m not taking responsibility” (trump) during a national crisis? Speaking for myself, that man is not fit, mentally, to be representing America.
