Summary

Why in the world did Trump delay for so long getting ready for the pandemic that he knew was coming? Is it anything like GW Bush sending troops into battle with unarmored Humvees? As medical shortages loom due to our lack of preparation, does Donald Trump care about the lives of the nurses and doctors on the front line who are saving lives from this new disease? And what fascist totalitarian measures are being snuck through under the cover of the corona virus crisis around the world- and right here in America?

And Progressive leader Ro Khanna shares his view from the floor of Congress as Republicans push for the pandemic stimulus program to once again benefit the rich.
