Hello and good morning #Mastodon and the lovey #fediverse
Trump press conferences need to have no Trump in them.

Maybe use some of that $6 trillion to build the social safety nets we needed before this crisis and clearly still do.

If Republicans can conjure a half trillion for Cruise Ships, they can keep Social Security and Medicare afloat.

Trump says nation can see "light at the end of the tunnel" as Washington pushes $6 trillion stimulus: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/watch-live-coronavirus-task-force-members-give-updates-on-covid-19-response-2020-03-24/

The number of cases in the U.S. continues to soar, but the president is eager for the economy to get back to normal.

@IronMan2020 Apparently Rs are fighting over money to states for election security so states can do mail in ballots... because of course!

For years, Oregon has had a vote by mail system. 

It works. Ballots and voters' pamphlets are sent to all voters. 

If a recount is necessary, paper ballots are there. Voting is done within the privacy of one's home, without risking one's health.

All states should implement such a system and we should all be demanding our states implement a system like this immediately.

Social distancing/physical distancing/safe-at-home/lock down/whatever you wish to call it is a strategy to create time to get other efforts in place (testing, hospital preparedness, etc.) in a fast-moving outbreak. 

It's been made a necessity by a slow to acknowledge, disjointed early response and a lack of the ramping up of necessary resources by the president and by the Republican Senate.

Stay at home if you can.
Limit contact when you are out.
Don't bash "both sides."
Vote blue.
