. @PressSec just read an extended list of prominent Democrats who are on the record preemptively refusing to accept a Trump 2020 victory—correctly pointing out that the “peaceful transfer” question is just the latest example of Democrat projection

On the record from another WH official (me): this is false. In addition to masks, there is hand sanitizer at virtually every exit and every desk, most if not all senior essential staff are tested, and there are telework options open for those who need or prefer it for safety.

NEW: “They’ve given us more masks, but that’s about it,” one WH official tells @JoshNBCNews , about what, if any, precautions have been taken for staffers still showing up to work at the White House, following Trump’s COVID diagnosis. They are blue, disposable surgical masks.

Notre Dame profs push back on Amy Coney Barrett portrayals: Not just 'an ideological category'

Respectfully: this reporter was given 3 questions in the briefing and declined to ask. We would’ve been happy to answer. Instead chose to shout it as the briefing ended.

Senate Democrats just burned *$260 million* dollars on 3 candidates that lost by a collective 40 points In other words: “Don’t donate to the Food Bank, give it to Democrats” is a #1 seed for worst idea to ever hit this website

@mcuban I get that politics is annoying and contentious, but the bottom line is that the Senate flipping would be far more impactful than a food bank donation. We need massive stimulus and aid to individuals and small businesses. Government needs to do this. Charity isn’t sufficient

Some Dems are betting that Trump will he received as Bush post-Katrina as opposed to Bush post-9/11. And there’s a split among Dems about how they ought to be handling Trump in this moment, which so far has ended up benefiting the president.

I’ve been with him. Meadows has been wearing a mask everywhere—including this morning, where he briefly removed it to answer questions and told reporters to “stay back” before taking it off. Here’s the video.

As @PressSec just said in briefing: reports that WH is offering only Republican briefings are not true. Same offer was made to House Democrats to be briefed on intelligence. Mark Meadows called Leader Hoyer last night. It is Democrats who have yet to accept the offer.

Seen this line floating around and it’s incorrect—Amy Coney Barrett’s 7th Cir. confirmation was BIPARTISAN, not “party-line.” Tim Kaine, Joe Manchin, Joe Donnelly, and Angus King all voted for her.

Appalling misrepresentation of a quote. The full quote was "We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves first"--basically saying pricing could be more efficient on the front end. Good Lord.

Trump told governors this morning they are on their own: “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,” Mr. Trump told the governors during the conference call, a recording of which was shared with The New York Times.

Take a moment and pour one out for the would-be cable news chyrons if Trump referred to Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine with something like “well, it’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion…”
