This really should be yelled from the rafters by every Democrat across the nation, it’s just another indication of how badly Trump and the Republicans have failed the nation…and, how they really just don’t care about the health of average Americans. There’s extensive testing for “important” Republicans, they know what’s up, which makes them cutting testing for Americans even more craven.

She is one of the good ones. I met her a looong time ago when she was a state senator.

I assume by extensive you mean repeated testing for important Republicans? Hey maybe that’s how Republican candidates will drum up support for their campaigns? Instead of raffling off AR-15s they’ll raffle off COVID-19 tests and analysis.

Yup, dump it on the states, make them compete for supplies again. Plus it helps Mitch to say that the states are irresponsible with their money if they can’t come up with a way to pay for it.

Another "we are NOT doing what we’re doing. "

It looks like Patty is warming up her stink eye if they can ever get a rethug before a committee.

I envy you. We have Cornyn and Cruz. Even though Texas is the most impacted state, Cruz only gave a perfunctory hrumph and Cornyn is hiding under Moscow Mitch’s desk.

She can be, uh, sarcastic . I’ve met her and been the target of it. I would love to see that sarcasm unleashed on a Trumper.

A lot of the sites scheduled to be closed are in Texas. They are writing political ads for the Dems. The polls there have been showing a close race and it would be supremely ironic if this helped to tip it to the blue.

Obviously Sen Murray has not realized that this is the Trump plan to commit genocide against everyone who does not absolutely love Trump.

Billions in unspent Federal dollars for testing really shows the lie in the Trump administration’s supposed rationale for withdrawing Federal government support.

This testing thing was getting out of hand. People who wanted a test were getting a test.

Somebody had to put a stop to that…
