If we are going to bailout airlines, hotels and cruise ship companies, can we bail out America's food banks? Millions of children rely on school lunches and take home bags of food. These children will need help if schools close.

If you see this tweet, please consider donating cash to your local food bank. Food donations are great, but they are able to use the cash to buy at bulk and wholesale pricing and make the money go much further.

Since this thread is getting a lot of attention, here's a reminder to check on your elderly and disabled neighbors. They are going to need our help in the coming months.

Remember how Donald Trump ran around for 2 years saying he was going to fix the American health care system and promised cheaper, better health care? He even said, "It will be so easy." And then he spent three years doing absolutely nothing at all on the subject?

“We’re going to work with our doctors. We’ve got to do something. ... We’ll work something out ... Nobody knows health care better than Donald Trump.” — Interview with ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” January 30, 2016

“In fact, plans you don't even know about will be devised because we’re going to come up with plans—health care plans—that will be so good. And so much less expensive both for the country and for the people. And so much better.” — Interview with Dr. Mehmet Oz, September 15, 2016

This is the same kind of treasonous behavior Intel chiefs stumbled upon in '16. They alerted Pres Obama. Pres Obama alerted Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell shut it all down, threatening Obama by saying he would politicize any action to alert the American people.

Harry Reid brought this up on the Senate floor saying an investigation was being hidden from the public, but Mitch McConnell kept it hidden away until after the election. This time they are caught in the act and the American people see it in real-time.

Former Sen. Harry Reid's letter to James Comey in Oct. 16:

“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination....

I have a Gary Larson story I want to share (again) because it involves, happiness, betrayal and a lifetime of simmering hatred, disappointment and distrust. Intrigued? THREAD

When I was roughly 12-13 years old, my mother took my sister and I to Whistler's Books, a small, independent, now defunct bookstore in Overland Park, Kansas. Gary Larson was there for a book signing. I think it was his first book because nobody else was there when we arrived.

That means we had Gary Larson all to ourselves and he was so, so kind. I joked with us and he took the time to autograph a book for each of us, drawing personalized cartoons and messages for each of us on the cover page. We left that store beaming.

Republicans: We want to go backwards, move away from the idea that everyone needs/deserves health care. We love for-profit health care and tax cuts, we're rich!

Democrats: We want people to be covered, everyone should have health care.

Media: Democrats propose radical ideas....

Now let's turn to interview every voter in deep Republican districts who'll never vote for a Democrat in their life under any circumstance, even at their own personal expense or health, to see if Democrats are moving the needle or nah.

See? Jim Joe Bob in 25+ Trump district doesn't like Warren, he can't quite put his finger on why, but it's probably economic anxiety. Sure her policies would be better for him, but she just doesn't speak his language. Now billionaire fraudster Trump? He really gets Jim Joe Bob.
