Congratulations to Rand Paul for holding up a bill that would expand testing for another day because 1)he's a huge self-aggrandizing jagoff and 2)there is literally no other reason https://t.co/DH8EpqWo5l

His puppeteers told him to cut pandemic spending

Because after all, that money belongs in their pockets:

Americans for Prosperity, the Koch dark money pressure group that has spent several hundred million electing Republicans, compiled a list of programs they wanted Congress to cut, which includes CDC funding for global pandemic response & disease prevention https://t.co/jKx6VBCKXB

In 2018, after increasing the Pentagon's budget that year by $82 billion and just after passing a $1.5 tril tax cut, the Congressional GOP pushed a $15 billion "rescission bill" cutting spending on health programs, including international aid for responding to infectious disease. pic.twitter.com/OPzeCf6pOu

President Trump's budget requests repeatedly call for cuts to the CDC & the State Dept's infectious disease response funds. Why? The same cuts were demanded by Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks and Heritage Action, influential right-wing billionaire-backed pressure groups. pic.twitter.com/8NL8sez14W

Of course he did

He’s got to replace the revenue he’s losing from his hotels:

This is depraved. The German government confirms that Trump apparently tried to bribe German scientists into giving him exclusive rights to the Covid-19 vaccine they were working on developing. He wanted it “for the US only.” How many new lows will he set for the United States? https://t.co/Qm7vFoArQT

we regret to inform you that none of the accurate things the president said were soothing and none of the soothing things were accurate

This election, evangelicals can trust President Trump, says mega-scammer and pastor-to-the mobster chief, #PaulaWhite.

Go, Judge Walton

‼️ “In his ruling, Walton said he needed to review the [Mueller Report] itself because he could not trust that the Justice Department’s redactions of the report were made properly and in good faith.” https://t.co/J596F44Liv

Lawyers for the 9/11 families suing Saudi Arabia claim their investigator interviewed Jamal Khashoggi on Oct. 26, 2017, and Khashoggi sent a text to “senior Saudi officials that same day.”

Let’s pretend

Chuck Schumer says this and now Republicans are pretending it’s an actual threat and a major outrage:

Analysis: John Roberts and Chuck Schumer’s extraordinary war of words https://t.co/8hpyCJqncK
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) March 4, 2020

No non-moron anywhere sincerely believes Schumer's speech was "threat" of anything but further disapprobation but GOP plays this fiddle every time and reporters pretend GOP is sincere.

When Trump suggests his enemies should be punished for treason, none of them say squat. https://t.co/U4egdrogLe

so now that @senschumer quoted Brett Kavanaugh's words back to him, NOW John Roberts thinks they're a threat?

Sounds entirely par for the course, because John Roberts is a craven liar.
