HOAX: Trump's Endless Obsession with Politicizing the Coronavirus
So far this election cycle, Donald Trump has been asked four times to describe his agenda should he be reelected to a second term. And four times – most recently two days ago – he failed to articulate a coherent vision for the future or even a compelling reason to vote for him. That might…
MT-Sen: HuffPost, “Could The Coronavirus Pandemic Decide The Key Senate Race In Montana?”
The Huffington Post has a good piece about how Governor Steve Bullock’s (D. MT) handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the role it will play in his bid to unseat U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R. MT): Republicans, who hold a slim three-seat majority in the Senate, considered Montana a safe seat until Bullock’s last-minute entry…
Twitter Lets Trump Get Away with Dangerous LIES About the Coronavirus
Last week Donald Trump announced that he would be reviving his Coronavirus Task force Briefings (aka Trump reelection campaign photo-ops). In the few public session he's held since then he has struggled to stick to the script prepared for him on his Teleprompter. But the effort has earned him some praise from sycophantic, right-wing, media…
Coronavirus is Killing Trump Supporters, So NOW He's 'Concerned' Because 'Our People' are Getting It
Much is being made by some the more milquetoast members of the media of what they are spinning as a “pivot” by Donald Trump with regard to his position on the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. They have observed him wearing a face mask for the first time after four months of mocking those who did so,…

Trump Is Reviving His Coronavirus LIES and PROPAGANDA Show
The stench of desperation continues to waft through the halls of the White House, swirling like a noxious cloud around Donald Trump as he struggles to avoid a total electoral and psychological meltdown.

Republican governor blasts Trump's bungled coronavirus response in new op-ed
Remember when a dyspeptic, misspelled, barely comprehensible tweet sent GOPsters near and far scurrying for cover? Are those days over? Because Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan sure doesn’t sound like he’s scared of the ocher abomination. In a new Washington Post op-ed, Hogan blasts Trump and his administration over our nation’s flabby, patchwork coronavirus response. And…
TX-Sen: MJ Hegar (D) Wins The Runoff, Now Let's Help Her Get Ready To Defeat Coronavirus Cornyn (R)
It’s official: MJ Hegar will go up against Sen. John Cornyn and attempt to win Texas Democrats their first Senate seat in decades after winning a contentious runoff election on Tuesday.

Is the Trump administration preparing to disappear grim coronavirus stats?
Turns out George Orwell lacked imagination. Donald Trump has already decried our robust (er, 23rd-ranked by number of tests per capita, but who’s counting?) testing regime because it makes him look bad. He’s said that if we didn’t test we’d have very few cases. Which sort of makes sense if you’re a blithering nitwit with…

Fauci takes jabs at America's (i.e., Trump's) coronavirus response
Ask Donald Trump how effective his maladministration’s coronavirus response has been and he’ll tell you it’s fantastic. The best. We test a lot of people, you know. And, anyway, he’s more focused on the real crisis facing America — the health and security of our nation’s most racially offensive statues. But Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has…
Trump claims that 99% of U.S. coronavirus infections are “totally harmless” This is false.
Probably the most dangerous thing Trump said this weekend, a 99% meme of harmlessness that will get amplified because even at its minimum, it means a “free fall” to a much higher death toll. 131,000 have died. Expect more spin as his denial continues. x President Trump claimed that 99% of U.S. coronavirus infections are…
Coronavirus Taskforce briefing: 1st one in 2 months
Live Stream at HHS x 12:30pm ET today (6/26/2020), there’ll be a Covid-19 Taskforce briefing, the 1st in ~2 months. Hope for more truth/facts from Dr. Fauci, but suspect Pence’ll ‘happytalk’ it instead. I trust Dr. Fauci, less so Dr. Birx & CDC’s Dr. Redfield (think CDC’s been muzzled by Admin).😷 pic.twitter.com/aidZscgJYD— Barbara Bennett (@b2_bennett)…
Studies Prove that Watching FOX News Increases Coronavirus Fatalities
Media scholars and neutral observers almost universally agree that Fox News has been a source of flagrantly biased right-wing propaganda from the day it began broadcasting. It's founders – an arch-conservative, foreign-born, media baron (Rupert Murdoch), and an ultra-rightist Republican campaign operative (Roger Ailes) – intended that political prejudice to be its primary mission when…

Trump adviser: 'He's been over coronavirus for a long time'
It would be nice if the coronavirus pandemic were over. I want to leave the house without a mask. I want to go to the movies. I want to make out with people I just met at Dave & Buster’s. I want the church people to go back to church so they can stop constantly…
