Death penalty states have been asked to hand over their stockpiles of drugs used in lethal injections to instead help save the lives of hundreds of patients admitted to intensive care units after contracting the coronavirus. Seven medical practitioners and experts addressed a letter to state correctional facility directors urging them to turn over their supplies of sedatives and paralytics to hospitals where they can be used for intubation and mechanical ventilation in critically ill COVID-19 patients. “Health care workers across the United States are facing unprecedented shortages of vital resources needed to battle COVID-19,” the letter said. The letter was sent out to the corrections departments in all states where capital punishment is legal, The Guardian reported. Not all states that allow capital punishment disclose if they stockpile medication for lethal injections. At least 19 states have execution procedures that involve sedatives and paralytics.

Here is what Gov. Andrew Cuomo has to say about Trump's "total authority" and the 10th Amendment. I know Trump's alliterate, but can someone read the constitution for him or make a cartoon for him to watch? We do not and will not ever have a king in America.
