This piece is reported factually and non-judgmentally. But if you can read it without anger and outrage, you're a better person than I. We are in a real crisis, and Trump's White House is, to put it simply, avoiding the hard work of dealing with it.https://t.co/K1hJXYzrFp

After two aides test positive for coronavirus, White House aides encouraged to work from home in memo obtained by Post. Many officials say their bosses want, or they want, to come in. Lots of tension around Oval & who sees POTUS. ⁦w/@seungminkim⁩: https://t.co/W66JGhCEp3

He is the President of the United States of America. He is a disaster for the ages. His Presidency has ignited a steep and precipitous national decline. His defeat will be America’s one and only chance to pull out of a national death spiral. https://t.co/mFWxUoLYOW

Judging by my one outing of the day (being a good boy) the country has already decided to get ahead of @BorisJohnson statement tomorrow by making their own minds up. So when he expects hallelujahs for relaxing the lockdown I look foreword to another episode of gogglebox
