WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Donald Trump spoke during his daily coronavirus briefing Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a stark warning for Americans to “ignore the lies” and “insist on the truth” while the U.S. assesses next steps in the crisis.

Pelosi’s scathing outline of Trump’s monthslong handling of the virus outbreak contrasted with his eagerness to re-open the economy.

“There are important decisions ahead,” Pelosi wrote to House Democrats. “But if we are not working from the truth, more lives will be lost, economic hardship and suffering will be extended unnecessarily.”

She said the president ignored early warnings about the virus and took “insufficient” action that “caused unnecessary death and disaster.” Because of his “incompetent” reaction, she said, the economy is now a “disaster.”

4. I just hope we have someone watching all that COVID-19 money.

He's probably going on a spending spree paying off people for November's election.

5. Here, On January 13, 2020, WHO Is Imploring Countries To Take Action To Prevent The Spread

While they were wrong on their initial assessment on how contagious C-19 was (they weren't yet recommending travel restrictions) they were correct on most other aspects of the disease. This establishes the 2 month gap between when Trump was informed and Trump took action. There is an embedded link to a January 12, 2020 publication as well and it is worth the read. Trump owns this!

There's zero chance that Trump won't see this, and when he does he'll go apocalyptic. Especially coming from a woman, don't kid yourself on that.

Tweet storm on the horizon captain.
