A woman caught her 3-yr old in the bathroom doing this & thought it was funny until she asked what her daughter was doing. She answered that she was practicing what to do if she had to hide from a shooter in the bathroom at her pre-school.

FROM NANCY PELOSI: Hey everyone, passing along these key points.
McConnell Corporate Slush Fund:
· McConnell’s bill includes a $500,000,000,000.00 corporate slash fund for CEOs and the ultra rich — while leaving workers, families and children out to dry.
McConnell’s bill has weak stock buyback language that can be waived by the Treasury Secretary; exec compensation limits only last for 2 years; language on worker retention is weak & includes easy outs for companies; there are no assurances in language that workers will benefit.

Other Major Problems, cont.:
· No additional SNAP funds.
· No OSHA language to protect workers.
· No expanded emergency leave provisions.
· Only 3 months on Unemployment Insurance – this is an insufficient length given the scope of the crisis.

Other Major Problems:
· No money for state & local governments.
Other Major Problems, cont.:
· No money to help with the treatment of the uninsured.
· The bill does not provide adequate relief for the 44 million federal student loan borrowers.

· Only 3 months on Unemployment Insurance – this is an insufficient length given the scope of the crisis.
· Direct Payments are not available to the millions of people who did not file a return in 2018 or 2019.

California GOP says it owns unofficial ballot drop boxes. // Well, since having unofficial drop boxes is illegal, exactly which CA GOP honcho is now a felon? 🤔
Isn't that his son Barron in the golf cart with him? Hearing his dad call the VP of the US a "fucking bitch"?
I'd hoped Barron would grow up to be nicer than Junior or Eric, but he has no chance.
My favorite photo so far. “Take a knee.” An unmistakable silent protest, made famous by Colin Kaepernick, who is still being punished for it. Peaceful protest. Powerful.

Daisy lost all 7 of her puppies in a barn fire & wasn’t the same after, always going to the barn to look for them. Her owner posted a desperate appeal, asking if anyone had puppies she could foster. An owner of 8 orphaned puppies responded & Daisy took to caring for them at once.

This Fox News report on Tammy Duckworth is one of the best examples of current news media problems: huge headline blasting a Democrat, the logical explanation in tiny print below. I mean she gave her legs for this country. Trump has only cost this country, in money & lives.

1. Ivanka has no authority to report on meetings with foreign heads of state. It should at least be the Sec of State.
2. Ivanka has no authority to meet with foreign heads of state. This is insulting to heads of state.
3. Remove the word ‘productive’ from Ivanka’s vocabulary. 🙄
President Trump had a trilateral meeting with Prime Minister Modi and Prime Minister Abe, followed by a bilateral meeting with PM Modi. Here is the readout:
This is a disgusting tweet for a teenager, but for a US Senator, it just shows the depth of his contempt for the citizens who pay his salary. Texas, please vote this awful man out of office. .

The fact that he wants to hide it is the act of a guilty man. McConnell is complicit.
How does Sarah plan to enforce this ban? Will she have someone arrested for saying their wife was a 'birth giver' when their new baby was born? Will she jail a mother for providing her baby with 'human milk'? Will there be bounties?

Indeed. McConnell has actually done more damage than Trump, starting back when Obama was inaugurated & McConnell had his little meeting w/ GOPers who agreed they’d let Obama do nothing.
