I joined @RepMaloney & @WhipClyburn of @Oversightdems to release docs revealing that the Trump Admin’s failed #COVID19 ad campaign tried to use taxpayer dollars to help @realDonaldTrump& #39;s reelection. They even vetted celebrities based on their politics. https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
The Trump Administration considered including @MarkRuffalo in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign but they thought the fact that he& #39;s a "liberal Democrat" might prevent him from promoting mask use.

. @jtimberlake the Trump Administration considered including you in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign. Are you aware they were concerned that you are someone who "supports gay marriage"? @GLSEN @HRC https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/10/29/trump-covid-advertising-celebrities/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...
The Trump Admin considered including @Springsteen in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign but was concerned that he& #39;s an "LGBT rights activist" and "Publicly critical of President Trump." https://www.wsj.com/articles/health-agency-politicized-coronavirus-ad-campaign-house-committee-says-11603962000">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...
The Trump Admin wasn& #39;t sure whether to include @galifianakisz in its failed #COVID19 PSA about mask wearing because he "raised money for pro-choice organizations" & "Refused to host President Trump on talk show." @lilithfund, @TEAFund https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/29/coronavirus-ad-campaign-rebrand-433578">https://www.politico.com/news/2020...
When the Trump Admin considered including @BonJovi in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign, the effort was already living on a prayer even before they worried that he supports Democrats and was "appointed to a public position by the Obama administration." https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
I applaud @taylorswift13& #39;s activism "to support the Equality Act." But, clearly this scared the Trump Administration when it was deciding whom to include in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign. Absolutely ridiculous. @tnequality @HRC https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
. @georgelopez the Trump Administration considered including you in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign. Are you aware they were concerned that you made a "controversial statement on President Trump?" He seems very sensitive about it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/10/29/trump-covid-advertising-celebrities/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...
. @xtina the Trump Administration considered including you in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign. Did you know they were concerned that you& #39;re an "Obama-supporting Democrat and a gay-rights supporting liberal"? @HRC https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/10/29/trump-covid-advertising-celebrities/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...
The Trump Administration considered including @adamlevine in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign. The fact that you are someone who "fights for gay rights" seemed relevant in their research on you for their mask-wearing advertisements. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/10/29/trump-covid-advertising-celebrities/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...
ICYMI: The Trump Administration considered including @BryanCranston in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign but was concerned about including him since he "called out Trumps attacks on journalists" in 2019. https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
. @jackblack the Trump Administration considered including you in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign but hesitated because they consider you to be a "classic Hollywood Liberal". I think you should get that on a T-shirt. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/10/29/trump-covid-advertising-celebrities/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...
When considering whether to include @aliwong in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign, the Trump Administration flagged her advocacy for "maternity leave policies" as a potential problem... https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
They were also concerned that @kerrywashington wanted "to defeat Trump and his political agenda”. Shouldn’t it matter more that she wants to defeat the pandemic? https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
. @SofiaVergara did you know that in considering whether to include you in its failed #COVID19 PSA campaign the Trump Admin thought the fact that your "ex-fiancé is Republican environmental businessman Nick Loeb" was relevant in their research? They really went far back.
. @billieeilish did you know the Trump Admin criticized you because you "Made a political statement on gun control" & said Trump "is destroying our country and everything we care about"? You can& #39;t make this stuff up! https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
. @SarahKSilverman, did you know the Trump Admin wasn& #39;t sure to include you in their #COVID19 PSA b/c you are a "Liberal Democrat" who "supports gay marriage and is an environmentalist and animal rights activist." Ridiculous. @GLSEN, @peta, @ItGetsBetter https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
@margaretcho, apparently the Trump Admin didn& #39;t like that you accused "Trump and Ted Cruz of being guilty of sexism, homophobia, and racism" and considered not including you in its failed #COVID19 PSA because of it. @GLAAD https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
. @SJP do you find it odd that when considering whether to include you in its failed #COVID19 ad campaign the Trump Admin noted you are an "LGBTQ supporter" and identify "as Jewish?" What does orientation or religion have to do with promoting public health? @GLAAD, @HRC
Hey @ladygaga, how do you feel about the Trump Admin& #39;s concerns that you "Vocally supported Hillary Clinton in 2016?" They considered it reason enough not to include you in their failed #COVID19 PSA campaign about mask wearing (Don& #39;t worry, you didn& #39;t miss out)
. @tomhanks I have crazy news. Apparently because you "donated to many Democratic politicians and endorsed Obama" you were unfit to serve on the Trump Admin& #39;s supposedly nonpartisan campaign to promote social distancing https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-documents-show-administration-officials-tried-to-use-250-million-ad-campaign">https://oversight.house.gov/news/pres...
Hey @EllenPage, you apparently weren& #39;t eligible to participate in Trump& #39;s failed #COVID19 PSA campaign because you "debated Ted Cruz on LGBT rights in 2015" and are a "Liberal feminist dedicated to environmental causes". They seem scared of you @AstraeaUpdates
