Beyond the Politico story from a week ago, has there been a big national newspaper story on what's happening with these federal seizures of PPE shipments that have already been bought and paid for by states?https://twitter.com/RepMaxineWaters/status/1247272463001686017 …

0:23Josh MarshallVerified account @joshtpmGov@GovPritzker confirms that the federal ‘Air Bridge’ flights from China, organized by the White House taskforce, are bringing PPE back from China which are then turned over to private companies. The states then have to bid against each other to purchase from those companies. pic.twitter.com/QG62dWtQucShow this thread6 replies 47 retweets 120 likesShow this thread -

Ethan Zuckerman @EthanZBehind the Bob Kraft/Patriots plane story... evidently the MA governor had an order of 3m masks seized by the US government, which is why a billionaire with a plane had to go get PPE for our healthcare workers.

Replying to @kimmaicutler
The goal has always been to win the election in November. Nothing else matters to this administration than extending their rule for another 4 years.
