The Trump appointee who steered a $300 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign to 'defeat despair' about the coronavirus privately pitched a different theme last month: 'Helping the President will Help the Country'

"The American public can be assured this public education campaign is being developed based on the best available science and public health strategies to slow the spread of Covid-19,” said Fors Marsh CEO Ben Garthwaite, who drew a line between the contract awarded to his firm and what he said were separate efforts to enlist celebrities. “Fors Marsh Group was not involved with that work,” Garthwaite said.

Caputo declined comment, citing his treatment for cancer. Tolmor did not respond to a request for comment. At least 22 other performers were flagged for their previous support of former President Barack Obama. Singer Adam Levine was labeled a “liberal democrat who supported Obama and fights for gay rights”; singer Christina Aguilera “is an Obama-supporting Democrat and a gay-rights supporting liberal.”

Some people fall for Trump‘s snake oil salesmen spin! But in the light of history the truth will come to light!

This Caputo guy is on leave trying to recover from mental illness. That's all you need to know.

Corruption needs prison time

Not a huge fan of Politico much of the time, but this is great reporting.

🤬🤬🤬

I object to my taxes being used in Trump's campaign. HouseDemocrats need to make Trump pay us back for every exploited tax dollar.

So many jails, so little time

HHS, DOD Collaborate on Plans to Purchase of Lilly Investigational Therapeutic to Treat COVID-19As part of the Trump Administration’s goal of delivering life-saving vaccines and therapeutics in record time through Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Defense (DoD) today announced an agreement with Eli Lilly and Company to purchase the first doses of the company’s COVID-19 investigational antibody therapeutic bamlanivimab, also known as LY-CoV555. These doses will be available for patient care if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizes use of the therapeutic, as outlined in agency guidance. DeptofDefense LillyPad That's terrifying... DeptofDefense LillyPad It showed no impact in serious/critical COVID19 and is still in RCTs, so yet another purchase for millions of dollars and a stock market bump on an therapeutic not proven to work that the company will make investors money in wealthy countries. Pathetic.

Worst place, worst time: Trump faces virus spike in Midwest“President Trump still does not seem to be taking the pandemic seriously enough. I wish he would,” said Gabe Loiacono, a college history professor in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who last voted Democrat 20 years ago. He is now voting for Joe Biden. I live ten minutes north of Oshkosh, nobody gives a shit about the virus here. It’s insane. Let me get this right.... because of viral out break.. your voting for the man ...who received money from CHINA.. who by the way.. MADE THE VIRUS 🦠 I don't know if Biden will... I'm not one to look into crystal balls but I dislike how things are going now. I tend to follow the idea that like diapers, we have to change our leaders often. Will the new diaper be Jorgensen/La Riva/Hawkins/Biden? 🤷‍♂️ We should change diapers.
