Dear @VP Mike Pence: The mask is not to protect you, it’s to protect the patients at the Mayo Clinic. You had no right to violate hospital policy and put others at risk.

We’re not going to allow Trump to withhold relief funds from states that protect immigrant families. That he would even try to extort states by using vulnerable people as leverage during a crisis of this magnitude confirms what we’ve known all along: The cruelty is the point.

The decision by @VP Pence to refuse to wear a mask at the Mayo Clinic today is all too apt a symbol of some very deep and troubling problems. A short thread
First: Not wearing a mask sends the message that it’s OK not to wear a mask, even in a place where medical authorities order the wearing of masks. That’s bad. And irresponsible. (2/5)— Richard Primus (@Richard_Primus) April 28, 2020
I wish the Mayo Clinic had just said he couldn’t come in. Sorry, Mr. VP: we don’t let unmasked people into the operating theater, and right now we don’t let them in at all. Surely you understand that. (4/5)— Richard Primus (@Richard_Primus) April 28, 2020
I get that it takes courage to bar entry to the VP. But the absence of that courage, in a hundred little ways, is what lets people who don’t respect the rules become a law unto themselves. I wish Mayo had modeled the right behavior. (5/5)— Richard Primus (@Richard_Primus) April 28, 2020

Today. “A U.S. appeals court will hear arguments today in a historic dispute between the Trump admin and the U.S. House of Reps over how much power Congress has to enforce subpoenas demanding testimony or documents.”
“The court said that nine of its 11 judges would reconsider that ruling.— blmohr (@blmohr) April 28, 2020
Two judges who were appointed by Trump to the court, Neomi Rao and Gregory Katsas, have said they will not participate, likely because both previously worked in the Trump admin.”
