Trump’s one big talking point is always the markets. “They’re doing so well” he always claims.

What will he have now that the markets are all experiencing their worst day (and week) in 40 years or more (worst ever for the Dow)?

He will have nothing. That makes him dangerous. https://t.co/T7N0yCS7S3

Here's the truth. We never been less prepared for a pandemic than under Trump. He's cut funding, fired scientists, elemited doctors, and sabataged treatment programs. He doesn't believe in science, doesn't listen to experts, and lies about everything.https://t.co/O0pFjxYJaz

Fantastic move by the CDC! “CDC will now allow clinicians or public health officials test individuals suspected of having #COVID19. The new guidelines appear to place more authority in the hands of local health practitioners.” Great start. https://t.co/lb541UJ6Wb

Russian attack on Turkish soldiers in Idlib, if confirmed, is seismic in historical context: 1st time since WWI that Russia has killed Turkish troops -an opportunity for US+Turkey to undermine Putin+Assad, but also a strategic chance for US to sever coalescing Ankara-Moscow bonds

I think the most painful revelation to me, a Polish girl in England, was to discover on the day the Brexit vote came in that I was never welcome, wanted or needed in this country. The feeling of betrayal by the people I trusted for years was more painful than you imagine.
