If you're a New Yorker, text COVID to 692-692 for regular NYC updates.
KTLA: Trump is blocking states from using Medicaid to help COVID-19 victims. He wants people to die — get past the incredulity.

I definitely think less of Cindy Crawford thanks to Presley Gerber, who reeks of entitled, wanna-have-cred foolishness. His face tattoo — always a stupid thing — drew a minor ripple of negative attention, so he wrote:
