Thousands of protestors have flocked to California beach to protest the stay-at-home orders. Similar protests occurred in the state’s capitol, and dozens of protestors were arrested. Three protestors were also arrested in Hawaii at a Change.org-advertised rally. In Texas, a park ranger who warned crowds about social distancing rules was shoved off a dock and into the water, leading to the arrest of one man.

Audrey Whitlock, one of the leaders of a North Carolina Facebook group protesting the stay-at-home order with large public rallies, has tested positive for COVID.

An overwhelming majority of Americans, 81%, say that lockdown restrictions should not be lifted if it means coronavirus will spread.

President Trump sent a series of tweets urging citizens to violate Democratic governors’ stay-at-home orders. Jay Inslee has called the tweets “unhinged” and “illegal,” since they’re calling for domestic insurrection. Protestors indeed gathered to call for “Liberation,” per Trump’s tweets, but the numbers were tiny.

What we wonder is this: is Trump actually trying to encourage insurrection, or is he doing so to obscure something else––something like corruption?

Evidence is growing that Trump’s COVID response is political corruption.

According to a recent ProPublica investigation, the Trump administration pushed FEMA to approve contractors for a government job who never even bid, circumventing the normal process for unknown reasons.

According to a New York Times investigation, Donald Trump’s family trust and some of his associates have a small stake in Sanofi, the company that makes it.

Other aspects of Trump’s handling the COVID crisis are leading to cries of corruption. His briefings on the pandemic are, basically, a parade of CEOs who lavish praise on Trump. Some 57% of the U.S. population believes that the political system only works for those with money and influence…can’t imagine why that is.
