Likely it was Port Authority seizing them. But who knows. It could have been CBP or FEMA. This is some crazy Lord of the Flies sh#t right here. Super sketchy.

This is a very curious case. The fact that Massachusetts has not made a much bigger stink about it, and generally using very ambiguous language to describe their frustration, tells me that there is something else going on. They are not even asking to be "reimbursed".

I'm guessing that the masks are counterfeit.

Note that CBP has authority over all inbound international cargo, even if they are flown in on a private jet.

No governor can make a stink about anything because then Trump won’t give them any stuff.

So why mention it at all? They did complain about it, just not in any way calling the seizure unjustified.

Um, to let the doctors and nurses and everyone else in Massachusetts who needs PPE that their government is trying to get it for them?

Sure no doubt that's what Mass. was trying to accomplish. However, I'm just pointing out that the seizure is not being called unjustified, they are dancing around the issue even though they are clearly unhappy about it. So my inclination is that this story is more than meets the eye and that people who are quick to blame Trump for some nefarious behavior are jumping the gun.

“At the press conference, Weijia Jiang of CBS News asked the official in charge of the shipments, Rear Admiral John P. Polowczyk, what was happening to them. He explained they are not going directly to the states or to FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency). Rather, they are going to the private sector, which has systems in place for distributing such materials. But the states are in a bidding war in the private sector to buy this equipment, which is driving prices up.

Shouldn’t the federal government step in to stop profiteering and make sure states get the supplies they need? “I’m not here to disrupt a [commercial] supply chain,” the admiral said.”

Since literally every single accusation they make is a confession, you’re right. It’s just a question of how they’re doing it. Literally stealing? Profiting on the side?

Yes. My guess is that’s why Kushner was saying the National stockpile is “ours,” and not for distribution to the states, who somehow should’ve known this in advance and been out there paying the premium to get these supplies on the open market. Because the Trumps have other plans, possibly already sold or distributed many of the supplies in the national stockpile. JFC.

Thread on this here. It is a mystery.

Trump is trying to kill us, that’s what.

Aw poor baby. Maybe if Trump didn't attack others ON A DAILY BASIS he wouldn't be attacked so often. You give, you get.

Suck it, snowflake!

I worry about what countries they are selling/trading supplies to before meeting the needs of all 50 states. Jared in charge of these flights of shipments. We will never know who they are prioritizing over the lives of Americans.

Well if it makes you feel better he seems to be prioritizing red states, like FL....
