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

I hope there are more and more national stories about this. https://twitter.com/EthanZ/status/1245831692826202112?s=20
Finally. A national news story. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-04-07/hospitals-washington-seize-coronavirus-supplies
Some more national discussion here. https://twitter.com/mollycrabapple/status/1248328975631421440
"President Donald Trump is treating life-saving medical equipment as emoluments he can dole out as favors to loyalists. It’s the worst imaginable form of corruption — playing political games with lives." https://www.denverpost.com/2020/04/09/coronavirus-editorial-trump-gardner-polis-supplies/
A @nytimes story, albeit more charitable. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/us/politics/coronavirus-fema-medical-supplies.html
