It's weird how there's all these stories about megachurches seeking to flout coronavirus safety rules to hold Easter services, and virtually none of them mention how much revenue Easter services bring in for megachurch pastors

I served for two years in the Trump administration. There’s never coherent planning on anything because Trump himself eschews process and reacts to whatever is in the news. It’s all chaos and spasms—and it won’t change so long as he’s president. https://t.co/90m4sdyJ7u

Nothing is more important to Trump than "soothing the barrage of signals emanating from his constantly panicked and confused autonomic system."

Great to see Republican Gov. Larry Hogan implement a vote-by-mail system for Maryland’s primaries which are only 1 week before ours. If our state leaders choose to move forward with our primaries on June 9th, we should strongly consider this and other options to keep people safe. https://t.co/YllIYOGmST

Fairly confident in thinking I’m not alone when I say I could not give a flying fuck what films and puzzles Johnson has been entertaining himself with. It’s not news. It’s idiotic sycophancy. It’s not even light relief. It’s manipulative PR for simpletons.

Tory strategy is to play this crisis like Brexit. If you criticise the government you will be accused of being unpatriotic/ disloyal. It will backfire spectacularly. https://t.co/AcoNebqnK4

Complete failure from the UK government. 1000s of people dead. You didn't act quickly enough. There has to be a national investigation into the failures of the UK government and all local government within the UK. You have all failed! https://t.co/JznWeafKNW

Fairly certain that the Home Secretary, Priti Patel address did not ease any fears, worries or concerns of the country. But simply created more:

Priti Patel's "I'm sorry if people feel like there have been failings" is the classic "I'm sorry if you're upset" non-apology. Just incredible.
