Colorado has 100+ confirmed cases and hasn’t taken any of those steps.

A robust Medicare for All system would put us in a much stronger position to deal with a pandemic. Our current for-profit system will price people out of testing and treatment, meaning faster spread and more deaths. Continuing to deny this obvious fact is a recipe for a disaster.

M4A wouldn’t prevent a pandemic. Really dumb tweet.
I mean, seriously: any person in public life who used their platform to focus the media discourse on the civility of emojis or the tone of tweets to C-Span videos even as a lethal pandemic spread across the world -- you should be ashamed, and history will never, ever forget.

History will not look kindly on politicians, journalists, pundits, think tankers and political operatives who obsessed over the tone of mean tweets - rather than, say, passing Medicare for All - in the lead up to a lethal pandemic that threatens to kill millions of human beings.

Gonna repeat it: Democrats fully control 7 state governments that have not passed paid sick leave legislation. The Republican Party is an absolute abomination -- but the Democratic Party's elected officials could pass this legislation right now to protect 50 million people.

50 million people live in 7 states whose governments are controlled by Dems but whose governments dont have paid sick leave laws. This is unacceptable. These laws should be passed immediately in EVERY state. The Democratic Party has the power to help 50 million people right now. twitter.com/davidsirota/st
