New: How the White House has interfered in CDC guidance, eroding trust in the world’s pre-eminent public-health organization and compounding the difficulty of navigating a virus that has killed more than 217K Americans. w/@StephArmour1 @betswrites

Replying to @rebeccaballhaus @StephArmour1 and @betswrites
In a May Oval Office mtg, Trump & White House officials pressed Redfield to declare houses of worship essential. WH and HHS officials later edited the reopening guidelines line-by-line, striking language on suspending choirs & shared cups. Redfield agreed.

@rebeccaballhaus
But when the guidelines went up, they included those lines. The WH was angry. When Redfield learned what had happened, he called aides and told them: “I am the director. This is insubordination.” An investigation later found it was an accident.

NEW: The farther behind Donald Trump has fallen in the competition for campaign dollars, the more he’s milked government resources to make up the difference. My latest w/⁦@anitakumar01⁩

Trump's reliance on fed $$ and his executive powers to win reelection come as he's fallen double digits in polls & > $100M behind Biden in ad spending. "The president is making increasingly outrageous demands and comments as time goes along,” says HW Bush Asst. AG @DonaldAyer6

there is a group directly behind Trump with green "Farmers for Trump" signs and hats.

As Trump is basically saying fukk your farms and crop, I wish I could see their faces because it has to be some mix of &

Sir, they were in the middle of a pandemic and a natural disaster, sorry but your nomination wasn’t a priority. What an idiot. I honestly don’t understand anyone that likes this guy for any reason. His own wife doesn’t.

He tried to equate Obama winning the Nobel Prize with him getting nominated.

There are tens of thousands of people who can make a Nobel Prize nomination, it doesn't mean jack shyt.

According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, a nomination is considered valid if it is submitted by a person who falls within one of the following categories:

• Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of states
• Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
• Members of l’Institut de Droit International
• Members of the international board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
• University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
• Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
• Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
• Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February)
• Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

Damn near ANYONE can get nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. I was nominated for one as a joke.

@mkraju

Trump seems to confirm he owes more than $400 million in debt. He says “it’s a tiny percentage of my net worth.” Then says it’s for mortgages. Says it’s not to Russia. Then asked if he owes foreign banks, and he says: “not that I know of“ before saying “probably.”
