After states were told to procure their own ventilators, Colorado ordered 500, but FEMA cancelled the order to buy them itself. THEN Trump says CO can have 100 “at the request of Sen. Gardner”, a politically endangered Republican. Fmr. Gov. @Hickenlooper joins me @TheLastWord 10p

Trump's tweet about "immediately sending 100 Ventilators to Colorado at the request of Senator Gardner!" seemed innocuous on its face. But the backstory illustrates how he's turned live-saving medical gear into a form of patronage. https://t.co/IVA8BHDyxY

Surprising no one, United will lay off its workers after receiving a $5 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.

Bail out people. Not corporations.

The airline is precluded from laying off staff for the next six months under terms of a federal financial assistance package that will provide it with about $5 billion, but it's preparing to cut staff as soon as Oct. 1, according to a letter sent to staff. https://t.co/KrNW1Bl7fE

An important backstory to the hydroxychloroquine enthusiasm is the weird paranoid fears of virus vaccine research. Apparently, Bill Gates is researching vaccines in order to insert controlling microchips into our bodies. – more to come – https://t.co/di8hpm1jll

BTW you all realize that check Treasury is sending you with Trump's name scribbled on it is your money, right? It's your tax dollars that congress appropriated. Trump is basically the guy who "lends" you back your own lawnmower he borrowed and has had at his house for months…

In a break in protocol, President Trump’s signature will appear on the economic stimulus checks that will be mailed to millions of Americans. His name will appear on the “memo” section because he is not legally authorized to sign such disbursements. https://t.co/8PXmytQVuZ

Trump’s name will be printed on stimulus government checks sent to tens of millions of Americans, essentially claiming personal credit for himself as no other president has ever done on checks issued with taxpayer money. ⁦@Reinlwapo⁩ https://t.co/AYGcs3dkdY

Something else:

The IRS has direct deposit information for about 80 million Americans. Their payments will not be delayed by Trump's ego needs.

It's the taxpayers who don't do direct deposit who are exposed to payment delay. Good guess they are poorer and older.

Biden, Bernie, Warren, Schumer, Pelosi and every other elected Democrat should go on TV tomorrow and let people know that the checks they need to put food on their table are being delayed for one reason:

The delivery of $1200 stimulus checks to needy Americans is delayed so that President Trump's name can be printed on the checks (nothing like this happened with any previous president). OK. So I suggest that Trump's name also be put on top of tax bills. https://t.co/ECS8tfIQxC

The rest of the 10 million of us in Mich are smart enough to stay home and stay safe.
