It\u2019s a busy day, here in the CatBox.  I haven\u2019t lost a meal since Tuesday, and Propanol has managed my back pain to a 2-3 level so far this morning.  Store to door is delivering groceries this afternoon, and I\u2019ll need to put them away.  I am quite tired, though, because I ate late and got to bed late.  WWWendy is flying to Iowa for a few days to see a boyfriend.  I\u2019m trying to talk her out of it.  If she goes, she\u2019ll be coming this Saturday and next Tuesday.  Have a great day.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Crooks and Liars<\/a>: House Democrats held a meeting this morning to get out in front of Trump on a coronavirus relief bill and make sure their priorities are included, MSNBC reporter Leigh Anne Caldwell said.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

“It’s to ensure that people who aren’t receiving any income because of coronavirus get relief and that those who are food insecure also get some relief,” she said.<\/p>\n

What’s that translating to in a draft bill in the House of Representatives, including sick leave for people who either have to be quarantined because of coronavirus or who actually have the virus. Other things, an extension of unemployment insurance and an extension of food stamps and aid for kids who get free and reduced lunches at school, but can’t go to school because their schools are closed.”<\/p>\n

Criminal Fuhrer Trump* refused to negotiate with Pelosi on the Trump* Virus relief bill, so she went ahead, and it will pass the House tomorrow. Will Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch sit on it, or will Trump* veto it to exacerbate Americans’ suffering?  RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n
