Trump could have done the same for the PPE healthcare workers needed to safely treat COVID patients, but he didn't, he left doctors and nurses die in the course of their duties rather than lift a finger.

BURN IN HELL, TRUMP, AND MAY YOU BE THERE SOON!!!!!

He also stole the PPE and sold it to the highest bidder

This isn't about Trump. FFS. Fuck him but some of you are genuinely deranged.

It's good that 10 months in the Biden administration is finally using the powers at its disposal for this crisis.

I don't understand people who worship politicians as though they are religious cultists. You should never trust any politician to do anything in your interest unless you raise hell.

Booo. I would have commanded: “Wet nurse army, forward march!”

Coupled with the impending Abortion Ban, I honestly believe this is part of the GOP's war against infants, children, and families.

The factory that provides 40% of all the formula in the US was closed down in February when they had to recall their product because it was contaminated and had killed babies. Somebody tell me what the Biden admin was doing since then?

Blaming trump?

As Abbott spent billions buying back its own stock, it appears that it failed to make necessary repairs to fix a critical manufacturing plant of infant formula located in Michigan," Wyden wrote. "The closure of the plant has contributed substantially to a national shortage of infant formula, putting families across the country at risk," the senator said.

This is what happens when you allow unregulated oligopolies to have tax huge tax breaks and put public safety last. Instead of fixing the problem, the company shut the facility down - completely irresponsible and unconscionable. Time to seize the company and nationalize food production.

Meanwhile, Republicans are forcing women to have babies.

Mika Brzezinski Grills Surgeon General on Baby Formula ‘Crisis’: ‘𝑰’𝒎 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚’ 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑩𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑨𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒏"

As Murthy defended the White House’s approach and offered his recommendations for families caught in the shortage, Brzezinski turned the conversation toward the administration’s decision to provide formula to migrant children at the border in the middle of the crisis. Brzezinski also commented that she doesn’t see the government acting with urgency to address the issue.

Mika gets one right

R12 - FYI, the Orange Corpse is now living in Florida, not in the White House, and he is still feeling rejected so his desperate and pathetic acts of claiming "election fraud" continue ad nauseum.

R9 Nothing, they ignored it until it became a huge issue. First of all one plant should not produce 40% of a nation's supply of an essential item, the fact that no one in government ever thought that was an issue is alarming. Also, he should've invoked this months ago, when it would've made a difference. I ran into a young mother at the store the other day who was crying tears of joy because she found one can of formula in the Walmart where I was. She said it was the tenth store she had been to and the first product she found. That is NOT America, that is late stage Soviet Union crap.
