! Trump says testing is a "double-edged sword" because you find even lots of minor cases, then adds, "I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down, please.'" He has never before said he asked anyone to slow down testing -- this has been an allegation by his opponents.

PLAYBOOK this morning:
YOU’D BE FORGIVEN, in this time of trouble and distress, for wondering whether your federal government has a handle on this pandemic, or if it’s a complete and utter train wreck.

One month ago today, Trump said "when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."
As of today, the US, with 81,782 confirmed cases, has more total cases than any country in the world.

One of the reasons industries are so short on cash right now is that they have spent billions buying back their own stocks instead of investing in their workers and saving for a rainy day.
That needs to be addressed NOW.

Trump in January: Coronavirus is 'not at all' a pandemic
Trump now: 'I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic'

Currently experts expect over 1 million deaths in the U.S. since the virus was not contained & we cannot even test for it.
This will be recorded as a major preventable public health disaster. I will try to relate what I learned from a long day of calls about what is happening.

AMERICAN INCOMPETENCE
Why aren't our leaders pushing far harder to get prepared & get the public prepared
Coronavirus testing in the US is minuscule compared to other nations
Tests per million people:
US 5
Japan 66
UK 347
Netherlands 350
Israel 401
Italy 826
South Korea 3,692

New: We made a chronological list of 28 separate false, misleading or dubious claims Trump and his senior officials have made about the coronavirus. It's staggering to see them all in one place. cnn.com/2020/03/11/politics/…

There are now good reasons to believe that the coronavirus will hit America especially hard, even though it originated in China. Why? Because it plays into multiple pre-existing weaknesses 1/

Hooooooly shit. Anderson Cooper just mopped the floor with Blagojevich, calling him out - literally - on his "bullshit."
Watch every second of this.

It’s pretty simple, @mattgaetz.
The high crime is using his public office to solicit the aid of a foreign government for personal gain.
The victim is society itself.
Hamilton lays out the principles of impeachment in Federalist No. 65. History will see the GOP ignored history.
Just another day in Trump’s America. And worst of all, 40% of my countrymen support this trash. We’re fucked big time
