State & local govs are facing mammoth budget shortfalls due to COVID-19 and economic shutdown. Without federal help, these deficits will force deep cuts that will cruelly target those who already have been hit the hardest by the virus-the elderly; the poor; communities of color.

Trump blaming unspecified people for not spreading the word about the virus: “People knew what was happening. People didn’t want to talk about it.” Trump and the admin were warned about this going back to January and he chose to downplay it.

Trump has long claimed the Iraq War was a tragic mistake. And yet he’s failed to lead America through a pandemic that killed more people in ONE DAY yesterday than died in that entire war. What exactly is he calling to “liberate” the day after America reached that grim milestone?

Trump says he's angry he wasn't told there was an epidemic: "And I was angry, because this should have been told to us. It should have been told to us early. It should have been told to us a lot sooner. People knew it was happening and people didn't want to talk about it."
