It looks like the erosion in Trump's hard-core base is very real

His favorability has dropped 11 points among white evangelicals, from 77% in March to 66% now.

It's dropped 12 points among noncollege whites, from 66% to 54% now.

"We're testing 5 million people a day..." "Also, we lack the capacity to test all 100 US senators"

New: The Capitol physician told Republican staffers today the Senate lacks the capacity to test all 100 senators when it comes back Monday. Instead the Senate will test people who are sick. Test will take 2+ days.

Chef Andres: People of America! I want to talk about two photos

that tell the story of food in our country in this moment...two different, painful realities that we are experiencing, and the opportunity we must seize to make sure food is not the problem but the solution 1/

Farmers in Idaho are dumping their potatoes. 😢 I went to Picabo today to see the discarded pile (and pick up a bagful). Commercial demand has fallen, and there is no market for the extra potatoes. 🥔:large

Next, thousands of cars in line for a food bank...in San Antonio, but could be anywhere in the country right now. With millions out of work and many visiting food banks for the first time, the system is totally overwhelmed and people are going hungry. 3/

How is it possible these two photos exist at the same time, in the most prosperous and technologically advanced moment in our history? It’s because all along the way, we have a food supply chain that we treat as invisible when it’s working...and only notice it when it’s not. 4/

Cuomo re: What funding Trump/Fed Gov has given NY

ACOSTA: How could you have inherited a broken test if it's a new virus with a new test?

Trump again blames the Obama administration for the "broken" coronavirus tests that were developed during the Trump administration because the virus was not around during the Obama administration.

THIS IS ALL TRUMP HAS FOLKS:

ACOSTA: You say you had inherited “broken tests” from Obama — the coronavirus is a new virus, so how could the tests be broken?

TRUMP: We have broken tests. We had tests that were obsolete. We had tests that didn’t take care of people.
