chuck and nancy
On Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote a letter to the Trump administration demanding paid sick leave requirements for workers impacted by COVID-19.The Democratic leaders said that they were prompted to impose the demands after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow mentioned on Friday that the administration was mulling tax breaks for airline and other travel industries as fear of the coronavirus puts a squeeze on international travel.“In light of reports that the Trump administration is considering new tax cuts for major corporations impacted by the coronavirus, we are demanding that the administration prioritize the health and safety of American workers and their families over corporate interests,” Pelosi and Schumer wrote.The letter included a list of demands aimed at assisting workers in the administration’s next response to the deadly coronavirus.“Workers impacted by quarantine orders or responsible for caring for children impacted by school closures must receive paid sick leave to alleviate the devastating consequences of lost wages,” the Democrats asserted.Other requests included protection measures for those who may be exposed to the illness in their line of work, along with unemployment insurance for workers who “may lose their jobs from the economic impacts of the epidemic.”Pelosi and Schumer also urged the administration to facilitate access to anti-virus efforts for lower income Americans by conducting free testing and combating price gouging of medical supplies and treatment.

Mnuchin drives me completely crazy. He's so uncharismatic and a terrible speaker/thinker that I constantly wonder how he progressed in life. Then I have to remind myself that it was his dad.

During his two minutes of remarks or whatever, Trump didn't say a single word about people who are sick or have died, it was all economy economy economy. He talked more about making sure cruise companies are OK than actual people suffering.

useful krugman thread
If the goal of a short-term stimulus is to put money in people's hands, then we should put money in people's hands: just mail out checks. There is no reason to structure it as a payroll tax cut, which does nothing for those not getting paychecks 1/— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 10, 2020

Payroll tax cut has bonus effect of putting less money in Social Security, making it even more underfunded and in need of immediate supplementing abolishment.

TMZ on the case:
Congressman Matt Gaetz apparently made the rounds before he self-quarantined ... because we got this pic of him chowing down Friday at a West Palm Beach taco joint.
Gaetz hit up Rocco's Tacos and according to eyewitnesses, he was having a great time ... problem is, he had been exposed to someone diagnosed with coronavirus. Gaetz had been at a Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland late last month and came in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the virus.
The Congressman flew on Air Force One with President Trump Monday. Sources close to Gaetz tell TMZ ... the Congressman found out he had been exposed just after boarding the Presidential plane. We're told he then separated himself from others during the flight. Trump has not yet been tested for the virus.
