The Anthony Tata nomination is the kind of "you can't be serious" moment that guys like Jim Mattis were supposed to stop. People who voted for Trump in 2016 would have told you that this will never happen because of the adults in the room and all that.

Or, put another way, the "nominee to be the next Undersecretary of Defense for Policy." To replace John Rood, a serious person who questioned holding back aid from Ukraine.
Let's see if maybe the Senate does its job and hahahahahahahaha

Team Trump's video leaves out the moment where Redfield said, "I am accurately quoted in The Washington Post"https://t.co/iuXAiPBbcp https://t.co/vsXKvUgEoJ pic.twitter.com/HPzXTMVh53

This is before the briefing:
President Donald Trump called Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp last night and expressed support and praise for his move to reopen businesses starting Friday. pic.twitter.com/LjbVvkEfYH

He is reading the text about how he disagrees with the governor of Georgia, and he genuinely looked surprised to be reading those words.

It must be amazing to live in the moment like this. Trump has been talking about “liberating” states for a while. If you don’t think Kemp was taking cues from Trump and his pr machine, have a private conversation with any GOP politician or consultant in Georgia. https://t.co/i1ZM19AB2O

I understand why Kemp and his supporters are pissed. But here’s the thing: If you let Trump influence your decision at all about opening up your economy you deserve to see the underside of the bus he threw you under.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) April 23, 2020
He decided to "open up" in part because of Trump-applied pressure to "liberate" states.
And now he's thrown under the bus by the president.
Rinse and repeat. https://t.co/673oa2VB56

"LIBERATE VIRGINIA!" But "disagree strongly" with Georgia. It's not clear what Trump actually wants to see happen. https://t.co/kVBlhGi38m

If Dr. Bright was reassigned as a negative repercussion for something he said, that is a potentially serious violation of federal workplace regulations.

Here is Dr. Rick Bright's full statement, just emailed out by the law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks which will be representing him as he files a whistleblower complaint.

Fauci now being asked by @spettypi about Bright. Fauci totally ducks that question. Says he has no concerns.
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) April 22, 2020
Trump now bristling at the idea that Dr. Bright has great gifts. “Why do you say that? Do you know him?” Pretty hostile response from President who said he didn’t know the guy an hour ago

Trump’s answer on Iran: I gave that order, so that’s what it means, and under Obama they were doing bad stuff all the time. “They’ll shoot them out of the water.“ OAN asks the logical follow up about rules of engagement. Trump ducks it.
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) April 22, 2020
When OAN is asking better questions than most of the rest of the room, that’s a sign that the real journalists need to up their game.

The only time Trump says “I don’t know” is when he doesn’t want you to know.
— Windsor Mann (@WindsorMann) April 22, 2020
FINALLY a question about the doc pushed out. Trump professes total lack of awareness, “I’ve never heard of him. I don’t know who he is.”
Instead of pinning him down about this, the next reporter asks whether there’s going to be a Fourth of July celebration. FML

Fauci: “there will be coronavirus in the fall.“
