I'd urge a campaign to try and get Trump talking about President Franklin but after a while watching someone proudly demonstrate their immense stupidity just becomes sad.

The Washington Post reports:
Seattle NPR member station KUOW has issued a statement to explain its editorial decision to refrain from broadcasting live daily briefings hosted by President Trump and including members of the White House coronavirus task force.
“After airing the White House briefings live for two weeks, a pattern of false information and exaggeration increasingly had many at KUOW questioning whether these briefings were in the best service of our mission — to create and serve a more informed public,” notes the statement, posted Wednesday afternoon.
“Of even greater concern was the potential impact of false information on the health and safety of our community.” KUOW provided three examples of bogus information stemming from the briefings. All of them — surprise — came from President Trump.

Finally, a $350 billion dollar pool of “forgivable loans” will be managed by the Small Business Association’s 7(a) loan program, which is the agency’s primary lending mechanism and is used to dealing with roughly $25-30 million in loans per year, making this a monumental task for the organization.
wow, seems like at least one federal agency will be hiring, holy shit.
also, i never realized that small businesses are defined like this:
The definition of a small business is also highly suspect. It bizarrely categorizes companies by employees at specific locations, so if you have less than 500 employees at specific location, but in total have 100 locations and 500,000 employees, you are a small business. Your favorite coffee shop could be competing with Starbucks for funds.
is that specific to this legislation, or is that the general def of "small business"??

On March 4, a program manager in the Nevada Health Department reached out to the CDC to ask about congressional funding for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
“There seems to be a communications blackout on this end,” the program manager wrote, wondering if funds would be distributed based on the number of cases in each state or by population.
“Unfortunately, there is no clear answer to your questions,” responded a CDC staffer, apologizing for the lack of information. “We are hearing all of the rumor mills as well.”
“Thank you,” the Nevada program manager replied. “It’s good to be confused together.”

iirc this is a pretty standard Republican tactic in legislation, create some bizarrely specific definition of smallbiz so they can funnel even more money to rich people.
