There is nothing like risking the lives of 20,000 people (and the hundreds of thousands more with whom they will come into contact) to lift a man's spirits.
A big reason why this rally is happening tomorrow: Trump aides want to get him out of the funk he's been in for weeks.— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) June 19, 2020

I asked a CDC contact about the risks of a COVID explosion after the 19000 people jam together at the Trump event this weekend.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) June 19, 2020
The reply:
"Looks like Tulsa might be about to go through some things."
And if only the spread would be contained to those who attend -- but it won't.— Michael J. Stern (@MichaelJStern1) June 19, 2020
One of the biggest super spreader events in Europe was a soccer game between a Spanish team and an Italian team. The game had more attendees than the rally, but was held in an OUTSIDE stadium. 19,000 INDOORS, with everyone sharing the same air? Disaster.— Kendrick Remainechau (@KRemainechau) June 19, 2020

No clearer demonstration of failed political leadership: did not heed the warning signals, did not use the extra weeks to prepare, disbanded its task force, and continues to downplay the threat and politicize solutions. https://t.co/ye5z3Ux6BR

This passage from @JaneMayerNYer’s 1988 book Landslide, where the Reagan White House discussed applying the 25th amendment to an inattentive president who just wanted to watch TV, seems pretty relevant. pic.twitter.com/k86H1LKeaL— Seth Hettena (@seth_hettena) June 18, 2020
Here is what Trump said about Joe Biden wearing a mask in public, as his administration recommends. https://t.co/mSijb32Dwu pic.twitter.com/DTDs3Pt9pK— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) June 19, 2020
To state the obvious, it’s more than a little ironic that Biden follows the advice of the Trump administration and gets mocked by Trump for it. Trump, on the other hand, ignores the advice of his own administration and acts arrogantly for it.— Joel Klebanoff (@JoelKlebanoff) June 19, 2020
“He feels good that way because he does.” That’s super-genius reasoning.— Melinda Kohn🍀 (@melindakohn) June 19, 2020
When you have to lie about your height and weight, cover your baldness with a ridiculous comb-over, have tiny little hands, have an ass that is half your body weight, and have Cheeto-colored skin, you might want to avoid commenting on anyone else's appearance @realDonaldTrump.— Facts Do Matter (@WilDonnelly) June 19, 2020

New York Times is the newspaper for which reporters interviewed me several times, but the editor deleted 100% of my quotes, while leaving all other non-expert quotes on the president’s mental health.

BREAKING: Trump “is ethically unfit and intellectually unprepared to be president of the United States." Speaker Pelosi— Scott Dworkin (@funder) June 18, 2020
Speaker Pelosi says that President Trump is unfit to be President. But saying it and doing something about it are two different things. In light of revelations of Trump extorting Chinese interference in the US elections using American farmers exports for leverage, impeach him.— Laurence (Larry) Boorstein (@LarryBoorstein) June 18, 2020
The President can be impeached again for additional Treason, other High Crimes and Misdemeanors. If extorting China to interfere in the 2020 election doesn't fit that, what does. Too, we can't know if Russia will interfere again to put Trump in 2020 regardless of polls today.— Laurence (Larry) Boorstein (@LarryBoorstein) June 19, 2020

I'm not sure if there's some lag in the reporting that makes these percentages so stark. But just going on the basis of the reported numbers here's the trend in Florida for the last 10 days for the percentage of COVID tests coming back positive. pic.twitter.com/6HCdUGIIea— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) June 19, 2020
2/ the number of cases is growing rapidly too. But this percentage jump seems even more alarming.— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) June 19, 2020
3/ I hadn't looked closely at the Florida numbers in a while and they are really quite alarming. Here's total new cases with the percentage. Both rising quickly in unison which is an alarm bells sort of thing. pic.twitter.com/A5o3SiYWFO— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) June 19, 2020
Looks like their hospitalizations are increasing. Another sign that it's not "just more tests". Their case numbers jumped from 1,700 - 2,700 - 3,200 - 3,800 in the last 4 days. pic.twitter.com/zNSF0STckP— Good Dog (@Heart__Is__Home) June 19, 2020
Considering Florida has been faking their numbers for months, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg.— Robert, I Say (@themadgasser) June 19, 2020
