Well, at least that one girl's sign said "Please". Texans are nothing if not polite.

I'm not sure I'll ever tire of seeing people protesting against social distancing and stay-at-home orders while wearing a mask. It is cute that they are so oblivious to the irony. Also, I saw/heard from audio from that rally and they were chanting "Fire Fauci" at one point. "Down with Truth Tellers"

@RepJeffries
Dear Cabinet Officials:

Today’s #coronavirus briefing went from bad to worse.

Deeply troubling.

Some people are saying it may be time to invoke the #25thAmendment.

Thoughts?

@RealCandaceO
The absolute genius behind @realDonaldTrump yielding re-opening power to each state:
We’ve spent the last 4 years listening to the Left claim Trump was an evil dictactor.
Now we get to watch who the aspiring dictators really are.

...And they all just happen to be Democrats.

So bleak. Youd think something that has killed 39k Americans in one month would push these patriots to be patriotic.

Can't find anything official from SC. Just reports that seem to stem from a State Senator leaking his call with the governor.

If these people could be reasoned with, they wouldn’t support Trump in the first place.

On that topic, from a WSJ article on a WSJ/NBC poll:
While concerns about the virus were on the rise, most voters in the survey didn’t see the pandemic as more significant than other major historical events, such as the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks or the attack on Pearl Harbor. Some 47% said the global virus outbreak was very important but not more significant than those events, while 38% said it was the most significant. Others said it was somewhat or not important.

It honestly appears the death toll is going to be irrelevant to some (many?) people, which is wild.

Also, Conshohocken getting a shoutout in this article...yikes
Kevin Kennedy, 57, of Conshohocken, Pa., said his house-painting work had halted until restrictions were lifted. But he said he was happy with how Mr. Trump had handled things so far.

“He’s probably doing the best he can. He’s probably getting conflicting information from both sides,” said Mr. Kennedy. He said he supported Mr. Trump in 2016 and plans to do so again.

that bolded part to me is the most troubling. thinking of this as a political disagreement rather than a health crisis.

Cognitive dissonance, I think. It seems like the only way (some) people can process it. It's not like 9/11 or Pearl Harbor where you have visceral images tied to the tragedy. You literally can't see a virus.

There's also no real "enemy" here so I think people are trying to create one - a staple of the Trump & Trump supporter playbook.

It's still early days, eventually most people will have a friend or loved one who gets critically ill or dies from COVID. Then and only then will they take it seriously.

WaPo article dropped saying that US WHO staff kept the administration apprised of the situation in China from the beginning.

More on the news soon I am sure.

@realDonaldTrump

Nervous Nancy is an inherently “dumb” person. She wasted all of her time on the Impeachment Hoax. She will be overthrown, either by inside or out, just like her last time as “Speaker”. Wallace & @FoxNews are on a bad path, watch! https://twitter.com/gop/status/1251827905459556352
