It's unbelievable to me how many people believe his outrageous lies. I guess that I shouldn't be shocked anymore but somehow, I still am.

What will be the tipping point for US citizens for all of us to finally see how we are regarded by this “corporatocracy”? We merely as cattle. Consider that Trump’s statement that he will relax restrictions sooner and “take our chances” because “the cure cannot be worse than the problem” is influenced by financial industry lobbying and government financial advisors to resume all businesses to ensure that the US remains as the global economic leader.

So why would any billionaire really go to bat for employees? The meager showcasing being attempted should gall all of us. These are corporate owners or CEOs who get enormous tax breaks such that many don’t even pay taxes.

When will it be too much for us already?

Like you all I’ve been floored by what he gets away with saying in these “news” conferences. Judd, I admit that I don’t know how the world of journalism operates, but assuming you have connections with folks in that room, can you encourage them to push much harder for facts whenever he starts rambling nonsense? Some have started to ask follow up questions of drs and others in the room, but not all. If the networks are going to insist on covering these things the only positive that it seems can come from them is the opportunity to continue to expose him for the despicable, lying snake-oil salesman that he is. As always thank you for keeping us informed and for using your talents to create change for the greater good.

Judd, thanks for the great reporting! I'm a paid subscriber and feel that it's some of the best money I've spent! Keep up the great work.

I despise Trump the idiot, and the MAGAT followers. Bezos' ain't any better. Donate to the fund, my buns. How much money in your pockets enough, Bezos'?

The 1% sucks!

Trump is killing people with his stupidity. GOP Texas Gov saying older people should sacrifice their lives for the grandchildren/ stock market. You first, Tex ol' pal. Here is the Kool-Aid. I will watch you drink-up.

I was told by a MAGAT yesterday that never Trumpers shouldn't get the checks if Congress passes the Trillion package. I blocked her. I won't get one anyway because I am one of the 58 million self employed left out by both sides.

I had an anxiety attack last night. My youngest son works in management in a factory that remains open. I am just tired. Plain tired of doing battle on things beyond my control.

Thank you Judd for standing tall against our enemies within.

The Greedy are going to kill us all.

No way in hell would I make a donation! With 11.9 billion in profits, Amazon can easily afford to pay its employees sick leave! And they damn well better!

I mean, but what would actually compel them to stop airing his press conferences? Lack of viewership? Bodies piling up? I get that major media outlets should be responsible stewards of information, but time and again, they've presented material without context and have effectively ceded the narrative to Trump and other Republicans.

Major news outlets cut away from yesterday’s press conference/campaign rally. Fox didn’t. One the tRump campaign’s leaders called attention to it on Twitter. I’m hoarse from yelling at the screen during yesterday’s event. People are getting disinformation and my cats have learned to cuss and swear.

All the comments already here say almost everything I would be saying so I’m going to just add, and I am yelling this y’all, “FU*K TRUMP! FU*K FOX!” Repeat as often as necessary.

If we were neighbors we would open our windows and shout this instead of singing every evening! Rock on, girl!
