    We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook.... that they ignored And an office called the Pandemic Preparedness Office... that they abolished. And a global monitoring system called PREDICT .. that they cut by 75%
    Tonight's Team Trump Livestream features Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who, talking COVID-19, tells Lara Trump, "clearly the Obama administration did not leave to this administration, any kind of game plan for something like this."

    I’ve seen so many kind wishes tonight on this website. Thank you - and I’m sorry I can’t reply to each of you. I’m honored by the President-elect’s confidence and will give my all to lead a talented and diverse team in a Biden-Harris WH.

    More Americans have died the past four months -- in Donald Trump's America -- than any four month period in US history.

    Thanks for mentioning me @VP, so here are the facts: 14,000 died from H1N1; we are headed to 400,000 dead in less than a year from COVID. Happy to compare records any time!

    Facts: The Obama administration tested 1 million people for H1N1 in the first month after the first US diagnosed case. The first US #coronavirus case was 50+ days ago. And we haven't event tested 10,000 people yet.
    Sleepy Joe Biden was in charge of the H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic which killed thousands of people. The response was one of the worst on record. Our response is one of the best, with fast action of border closings & a 78% Approval Rating, the highest on record. His was lowest!

    I'm just going to put this out there: ballots are not the only thing the Post Office delivers, and if you mess up the USPS, you are messing up seniors getting their medicines by mail; small businesses shipping their products; contractors who still get paid by check.

    Before one more person @ me over why @JoeBiden needs to be in public more, I beg you to tweet at @MSNBC and @CNN and ask them why they didn't carry his TWO public events today?

    I was the WH Ebola Response Coordinator in 2014-15. We never told @CDCgov or @NIH what they could say, or ever censored their medical statements. If the WH is doing that now, it is a danger to public health.
    Government health officials and scientists will have to clear statements about the coronavirus outbreak with the office of Vice President Mike Pence, in an effort to tighten the White House’s control of messaging about the virus nyti.ms/3a7omjV

    YOU. VOTED. FOR. THE. HUGE. TAX. CUT. THAT. IS. DRIVING. THIS. You, you, you, you, you. YOU.
    When corporation uses profits for stock buy back it’s deciding that returning capital to shareholders is better for business than investing in their products or workers. Tax code encourages this. No surprise we have work life that is unstable & low paying. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

    To everyone who has tweeted back, "Not me, I can PROVE I'm a citizen" -- you miss the point. Without due process, who will you "prove" it to? Where will you show your proof? A right to a hearing / judicial review protects ALL of us.
    If Trump can deny due process to those allegedly here unlawfully, ICE can grab YOU, allege you aren’t a citizen & deport you w/out a hearing

    I mean, you know, except for that thing where he banned an entire religion from entering the country.
    "President Trump has taken steps to ensure that the Federal Government will never, ever penalize anyone for their religious beliefs ever again." — @VP

    Just remember: there was nothing “inevitable” about this day — not the election result, the successful transfer of power, the bold actions coming on day one. Thanks to everyone who made this happen.

    Man who lives in the most gerrymandered state in the country -- where Dems won 54% of the vote, but only 36% of the state legis seats -- cannot understand a system where the people who get the most votes get the legislative seats.
    Paul Ryan: "California just defies logic to me... We were only down 26 seats the night of the election & 3 weeks later, we lost basically every contested CA race. This election system they have - I can’t begin to understand what ‘ballot harvesting’ is." hill.cm/x25jGqF
