New HHS spokesman made racist comments about Chinese people in now-deleted tweets
The new spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services in a series of now-deleted tweets made racist and derogatory comments about Chinese people, said Democrats wanted the coronavirus to kill millions of people and accused the media of intentionally creating panic around the pandemic to hurt President Donald Trump.
Michael Caputo, a longtime New York Republican political operative who worked on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, was appointed last week as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at HHS, a prominent communications role at the department which serves a central role in the federal government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Aah, Roger Stone's pal. The guy who worked for Vlad and Paulie Manafort.
Mikey also lied to Congress, then realised Mueller knew everything, and changed his testimony.
A real gem.

lol, conservatives all got their marching orders and are now desperately trying to make Nancy Pelosi's fridge a thing. Talk about desperation.
Nope, it was Mitch McConnell.
The Senate won’t consider urgent coronavirus legislation until next week
Lawmakers, including Mitch McConnell, have already left the Capitol for the weekend.

And, oh look, he's doing it again.
McConnell slams brakes on next round of coronavirus aid
The Senate majority leader expressed concern about rising deficits in an interview and said he wanted the full Senate to return before acting again.

McConnell thinks bankruptcy, not more federal money, might be best for state and local governments
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took a hard line Wednesday against more funding for state and local governments in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, saying that Republicans are not interested in "revenue replacement for state governments" or "solving their pension problems."
She held it up because she wanted oversight on spending of the stimulus money. I thought Republicans were in favour of that sort of thing, or is it only when a Democrat is in charge.*
*he asked, knowing the answer since virtually no Republicans ever mention the debt since you-know-who got into office.
That would be a great point Bennie-boy, except that thank to Dear Leader a lot of them seem to think it's a hoax. I can't think of any other reason so many seem hell-bent on getting infected and infecting others.

You're echoing what online left personalities are whining about (whose trade is to complain about Democrats online all the time and foment conflict), but not remotely what the data is showing.

And it's not even 'progressives' he's struggling with, it's disengaged people, who don't matter. 85% of 'committed progressives' support Biden, including 51% of DSA members!
And Biden's outreach to Sanders and Warren with policy task forces is a much more substantive signal than pointless and counter-productive verbal concessions.
An Early Look At Who Bernie Sanders Wants To Join Joe Biden's Policy Task Forces
Their campaigns are forming groups on the economy, education, criminal justice, immigration, climate change and health care in an effort to unite Democrats.
Also important to note that Sanders, Warren and AOC aren't the ones doing this pointless whining. They get it.
Along with Inslee (who was the best on climate, bar none) and Al Gore.
Biden scores endorsements from Al Gore and Jay Inslee on Earth Day
Former Vice President Joe Biden received endorsements from Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and former Vice President Al Gore on Wednesday, winning support from the climate change champions on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
No, they don't. If they did, Sanders would have won. They never do.

Not true. Biden has much more positive numbers than Clinton did.
Six months out, here's where the 2020 race between Trump and Biden stands

Biden also puts Arizona and Florida squarely in play, which Sanders would have lost. Not to mention a stronger bet in Wisconsin and Michigan.
ghoti said:
And they don't vote, so they can fck off. The young progressive voters who do vote will likely back Biden.
I obviously don't like SuperPACs or Citizens United, but why would you willingly put yourself at an extreme disadvantage against people who are quite happy to spend billions to sink you?
It's easy to win a D+29 district (lol) like AOC did without SuperPACS. Winning the EC is a different story.

As if Trumpets will care. Dear Leader made that idiot DeVos Secretary of Education, and what qualifications did his son in law have to be in charge of putting together a plan for the Middle East?
