I guess the failson could try to retroactively get the child support checks that never came.

Extremely selfish of Bernie to not want to talk about his candidacy and instead wanting to focus on the economic crisis. Truly shameful behavior

If he can't handle a simple question from the media about his candidacy that he is choosing to continue in the face of a crisis without losing it, why should I have faith in him to keep his cool during a crisis in a theoretical Sanders presidency?

I think he's showing us that he doesn't have the temperament for the job.

Biden called a guy fat and challenged him to a push contest and to take an IQ test. All your dumb takes about how unpresidential Bernie being mad is, are literally irrelevant.

“The Senate rejected 47-51 @PattyMurray's amendment to the House-passed coronavirus package, H.R. 6201 It would have appended a version of Murray's PAID Leave Act, S. 3513, introduced yesterday, which would guarantee workers 14 paid sick days, 12 weeks paid family + medical leave”

Watch me do something crazy....

Biden shouldn't have called a guy fat and challenged him to push ups cause that's dumb

See? It's totally possible to call out dumb, bad behavior of someone you're happy to support. It's pretty useful and good, in fact.

"Senator Collins voted AGAINST paid leave for working families.

I'm Sara Gideon and I approve this message."
Except for the quarantined Gardner and Scott, it was a party-line vote for that amendment. Of course.
LOL Susan.

Today is also the ME filing deadline, so maybe we're about to see a Moderate Darling sprint to the finish starting tomorrow.

A senior scientist at a government biomedical research laboratory has been thwarted in his efforts to conduct experiments on possible treatments for the new coronavirus because of the Trump administration's restrictions on research with human fetal tissue.
The scientist, Kim Hasenkrug, an immunologist at the National Institutes of Health's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana, has been appealing for nearly a month to top NIH officials, arguing that the pandemic warrants an exemption to a ban imposed last year prohibiting government researchers from using tissue from abortions in their work.
According to several researchers familiar with the situation, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity about the sensitive internal dispute, such experiments could be particularly fruitful. Just months ago, before the new coronavirus began to infect people around the world, other U.S. scientists made two highly relevant discoveries. They found that specialized mice could be transplanted with human fetal tissue that develops into lungs — the part of the body the new coronavirus invades. These "humanized mice," they also found, could then be infected with coronaviruses to which ordinary mice are not susceptibleclosely related to the one that causes the new disease, covid-19.
Outside researchers said the scientists who created those mice have offered to give them to the Rocky Mountain Lab, which has access to the new virus that causes covid-19, so the mice could be infected with the source of the pandemic and experiments could be run on potential treatments. Candidates include an existing drug known to boost patients' immune systems in other circumstances, as well as blood serum from patients recovering from covid-19.
"Kim Hasenkrug is one of the world experts in immune responses to persistent viral infection, including HIV and a whole bunch of other viruses," said Irving Weissman, a leading stem cell researcher at Stanford University. In addition, the Montana NIH site has a biosafety lab equipped with high-level protections for experiments with dangerous microbes.
----------------------------
The inability of the Montana lab, part of NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to pursue these experiments on the coronavirus is the latest example of disruptions to scientists' work caused by the administration's restrictions on research involving fetal tissue.
"When I hear the vice president saying [they're] doing everything they can to find vaccines [and treatments], I know that is not true," said one scientist familiar with the situation, referring to Vice President Pence's daily press briefings of the White House coronavirus task force. "Anything we do at this point could save hundreds of thousands of lives. If you wait, it's too late."
Caitlin Oakley, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes NIH, said, "No decision has been made" about Rocky Mountain's request. She added that the administration's "bold, decisive actions" to respond to the pandemic include "kick-starting the development of vaccines and therapeutics through every possible avenue."

It's okay, maybe German scientists can run these tests and then we can steal the results.
