Tammy Duckworth, an amputee war veteran, calls Trump "a draft-dodging, wannabe tinpot dictator." Re storming Lafayette Square.
Fuller Duckworth: "As [Trump] was walking [in Lafayette Park] he was followed, behind him, by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in military fatigues, and the secretary of defense, walking along like lap dogs behind a draft-dodging wannabe tinpot dictator."
More Duckworth: "I was appalled that this cmdr in chief was flying blackhawk helicopters above Americans exercising their 1st Amdt rights. How dare you politicize our military.. "
Duckworth: "How dare you pervert the honor of our military by threatening to use them against their fellow Americans? I am sickened to the core by this man."

Wow. Katie Porter cites law that lets CDC pay for costs of diagnostic testing for anyone when needed. Asks CDC's Redfield if he'll commit to invoke that authority to make it free of charge for anyone. Redfield ducks, but Porter badgers him into saying "Yes."
Couldn't upload all of it. but it really was some ace badgering by Katie Porter getting the pledge for CDC to pay for everyone's tests. She summed up: "Do not let a lack of insurance worsen this crisis."
Went to youtube to post it all. The full bump, set, spike --and celebration -- of Porter getting the CDC promise to pay for anyone's COVID-19 testing is here.

Source tells me Republicans removed a provision that would ensure a coronavirus vaccine would be fully covered by Medicare
This would probably be what McConnell castigated this morning as a Dem bid to "test-drive some untried, untested, and controversial parts of their 'Medicare-for-All' proposal."
House Dem aide says it's a $8.3 BILLION measure.
includes: $3 B for R&D
$2.2B for prevention, preparedness, and response (with $950M for state and local agencies
Nearly $1B med supplies, health care preparedness, Community Health Centers
$1.25B to deal coronavirus overseas.

Azar refuses to promise a coronavirus vaccine will be affordable for anyone:

"We would want to ensure that we work to make it affordable, but we can't control that price, because we need the private sector to invest.. Price controls won't get us there."
Here's the clip of Azar not assuring Rep. Schakowsky a covid-19 vaccine will be affordable to all.
Another revealing bit. Schakowsky asked if we've funded all the R&D. Azar: "No, that's not accurate. For instance Gilead has a product Remdesivir that was originally NIH-funded basic research I think out of the University of Alabama, but they've carried forward with development."
