Did she really go the entire 10 months without holding a briefing? YES! But she spent plenty of time on Fox News spewing the party line.

What REALLY pissed me off about tonight's briefing (more than usual) was his comment to the reporter that asked him how he could allow the voting to happen in WI when everyone should be practicing social distancing. DT said to blame the governor.....the same DAMN person that wanted to POSTPONE the voting!!!!!! WTF? ?? I.just.can't. As a side note, the family has started calling this "the dumpster fire chats".

Pharmaceutical manufacturer Eli Lilly said Tuesday that it will limit the out-of-pocket cost of insulin to $35 per month to offset financial hardships due to the coronavirus pandemic.The co-pay cap will cover the majority of the company’s insulin, including the Humalog injection, and is open to the uninsured as well as commercially insured people, but not to Medicaid, Medicare or Medicare Part D patients, Reuters reported. “Enabling a $35-per-month insulin co-pay regardless of employment status will help many Americans in this difficult time,” Aaron Kowalski and Thom Scher, CEOs of the nonprofit JDRF-Beyond Type 1 Alliance, said in a statement. ** thehill.com/policy/healthcare/medical-devices-and-prescription-drug-policy/491685-drugmaker-caps-insulin-costs@bergdorfblonde dewryce calimom

Healthcare tied to employment needs to be addressed.

Apparently trump is getting rid of all the existing Inspectors General.
Walter Shaub the former director of the office of government ethics has a few words on the subject..
”Trump's assault on Inspectors General is late-stage corruption. The canary in the coal mine was the government ethics program, which began engaging with the Trump team long before the election. The general public got it, but too many people in positions of influence missed it. /1
“Then, there was the open presidential profiteering and clues that hard-to-prove conflicts of interest were significantly influencing policy. But Republicans in Congress ensured that no one could dig too deeply into those, and they enabled it by refusing to conduct oversight. /2”
”Next came Trump's tests of the enforceability of laws--a little push against the tent wall here and a big jab against it there, followed by even bigger tests and a growing awareness that many laws don't have teeth or depend upon the executive branch to enforce them. /3”
”Along the way came the firings of the two most critical law enforcement officials precisely because they permitted investigations of Trump. The Attorney General's firing should have triggered his removal from office. But wild-eyed Senators were hot on the trail of more judges. /4”
“This emboldened Trump and taught him a lesson. He had come into government unaware that "personnel is policy." Now he both understood that and knew the Senate would let him treat the government like The Apprentice: only the most slavishly obedient appointees would survive. /5”
”Ordinarily, the game of musical appointees would have concerned members of Congress, particularly as Trump began to find replacements who didn't care about their oaths of office. But those judges continued to excite Republican Senators, and Trump's base made them nervous. /6”
”Oversight began only after the Democrats took the House. But Trump's hold on the Senate was absolute. We don't know what assurances he received behind the scenes, but we saw even longtime Republican Senators abandon previously espoused principles to protect him in plain sight./7”
”With that protection, Trump engaged in a previously unthinkable level of resistance to congressional oversight. The collapse of this Constitutional safeguard was a potentially mortal wound. It didn't go down without a fight, the House included "obstruction" in his impeachment. /8”
”But the Senate has the final say. With one exception, Republican Senators didn't even maintain a pretense of honoring their oaths. They ended the sham impeachment trial quickly. The failure of this second constitutional safeguard, moved the republic into a life-or-death crisis./9”
”What remained was the hope that whistleblowers and witnesses could still come forward. Maybe the people could demand action—if they knew the facts. But Republicans in Congress and their staffs, aided by fringe media outlets, worked to terrorize a suspected whistleblower. /10”
”Witnesses faired no better. Even some Senators who had spent their careers professing support for witnesses, gave Trump free rein to retaliate against them too. The stakes became high enough that whistleblowers and witnesses would henceforth think twice about coming forward./11”
”But Trump wasn't done. The White House began to speak of expanding its purge beyond political appointees to include career Feds, whose due process rights exist to prevent politicians from harnessing them for corrupt aims or, at least, silence any who might report wrongdoing. /12”
”The head of the Office of Special Counsel, which protects career Feds from political retaliation, remained silent—as did Republican Senators. Whether or not Trump follows through, the mere threat pressures career Feds to put loyalty to Trump above loyalty to the Constitution. /13”
”Individual government officials may have the moral fiber and ethics to resist the pressure. But the legal safeguards that help the federal workforce as a whole remain loyal to the American people and the rule of law over a rogue politician have been weakened. That's dangerous./14”
”A last line of defense in this war on ethics and law is the Inspector General community. They're the eyes of the American people, objective investigators traditionally freed to pursue accountability by the safeguard of bipartisan congressional protection./15”
”But the Trump era is a bad time for safeguards. Trump's eye has turned to the IGs, and Republican Senators have forsaken them—no hearings, no media blitz, only a few meek chirps of mild concern. Even the self-anointed patron saint of IGs, Chuck Grassley, has abandoned them. /16”
”What began with the fall of the ethics program is entering the end game with the potential fall of the Inspector General community. The government is failing us, safeguards that took two centuries to build have crumbled, and fascism is eyeing this republic like lunch. /17”
”It's down to the people. There is a chance in November to reclaim this land for democracy and reject fascism. But the obstacles are tremendous. Trump has the advantage of incumbency, decades of Republican voter suppression, and a third branch that increasingly seems political./18”
”A sign of things to come, the Supreme Court ramped up the voter suppression by sending Wisconsin voters into a war zone in our species' fight against an ancient enemy, disease. A global pandemic has ground America to a halt, complicating the upcoming presidential election. /19”
”Republican Senators are trotting out their Hillary Clinton playbook, hoping to abuse their authority again and wound Trump's leading political rival by Benghazi-Uranium-One-But-Her-Emailsing him. And they've given Trump their blessing for him to solicit foreign interference. /20”
”Trump's Attorney General has even opened a special channel for Trump's private attorney to funnel information from abroad to the Justice Department. Fascism is having a hell of a day in America, and things will get much worse before November. /21”
”All is not lost. The American people are fired up. But it'll be hard and the outcome's uncertain. That's why I want you to understand how big a deal it is that Trump is going after Inspectors General. This is a late-stage move in an authoritarian coup against the rule of law. /22”

Daniel Dale... ”Trump: The WHO receives "vast amounts of money from the United States," the biggest portion of the budget, and "they actually criticized and disagreed with my travel ban...they were wrong...they've been wrong about a lot of things." ”After saying he's going to look into the US contribution to the WHO, Trump, after some more criticism, says he's going to put a "very powerful hold" on money sent to the WHO.” Wonder who is next on his blame list It's rather difficult to with hold contributions if your already in debt to them though, he might want to take that into consideration. How is the WHO funded?
The WHO relies on funding from both government and private sources. Its funding is also split into mandatory and voluntary contributions, with the last one becoming increasingly important over the years.
In the last financial year, more than 80% of WHO funds came from voluntary contributions made by governments, private organisations like charities, and other UN agencies as well as multilateral bodies like the EU.
The US government is the largest of these voluntary contributors, accounting for just under 15% of WHO funding in 2019. But the next biggest was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, making up nearly 10% of funding.
Other countries which made significant voluntary contributions in 2019 include the UK (7.8%) and Germany (5.7%)
It is worth adding that the US also owes the WHO most in terms of mandatory contributions. Figures for March 2020 show that the US still had more than $99m (£80m) in outstanding payments, much more than anyone else. LINK

Lordie, I cannot stand her!!!!!!! She's been on cable news for 3 years now. She's pretty, but she should keep her innocent look (with her constant cross) somewhere else and NOT speak. The best disagreement was with Anderson Cooper. She kept going at it but he made it quite apparent that she's a bubble-head.

I wonder why, if the WHO was soooo bad in all of this, why is he just now, after weeks of daily press briefings, just NOW bitching about it? He didn't complain about WHO until that memo came out on Tuesday. And really, does anyone believe that someone that high up in his administration wrote such a memo, and he NEVER saw it?? Who was it written to? And why didn't Trump see it? I don't believe that for a New York minute. He was busted, and to get out of it, he is now throwing WHO under the bus.
I know the reporters at these briefings walk a very fine line and don't want to be called fake, nasty, and be berated and bullied, but yesterday, I so badly wanted one of them to ask him if WHO is so bad and did such a bad job handling this, why did he turn down their offer of COVID tests at a time when we had none???

@just T : Let's keep in mind that this bastard has ratings and $$ signs in his head at ALL times. I swear, he heard about the $$ that already has been raised by Lady Gaga in conjunction with WHO and he is freakin jealous. Same thing when he hears about Amazon/Jeff Bezos, or when he heard about Hunter Biden. How DARE anyone earn legitimate money when he has to swindle people to steal his own and pretend he's wealthy.

He's been backed into a corner and the proof is out there, that is why he's now blaming everyone else. He maintains he closed the borders - he didn't he restricted travel to everyone EXCEPT US nationals - clever virus if it could distinguish between nationalities! He knows he's made a pigs ear out of the whole thing and has no where to run so his way out is to blame others. The WHO made a statement about it on 22nd January that is out in the public domain. He didn't restrict travel until February 2nd and then only to foreigners. As a President he should make sure that his administration keeps up with the WHO at all times not just on this virus.
