#STIMULUSPACKAGE negotiations update: “Dear Democratic Colleague” letter from @SpeakerPelosi outlines key Trump shortcomings that actively harm the American people; vows to pass relief. 🧵

@AppropsDems

#STIMULUSPACKAGE: “the Trump Administration’s latest offer shortchanges state and local governments that provide most services Americans depend on.” @AppropsDems Chair Nita Lowey appropriations.house.gov/news/press-rel…

@FrankPallone

TRUMP “refuses to put a national testing, tracing and surveillance plan in place ... delays funding to states ... does nothing to address barriers and needs of communities of color that have been disproportionately impacted by #COVID19.” -@FrankPallone energycommerce.house.gov/newsroom/press…

@RichieNeal

Democrats expanded the Child Tax Credit and #EITC but the Trump proposal fails to include either, “depriving millions of Americans of thousands of dollars in tax benefits while continuing tax benefits for some of the wealthiest in America.” @RichieNeal waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center/p…

@RepMaxineWaters

“Democrats have .... robust emergency rental assistance and provisions to prevent evictions and foreclosures ... Trump Administration’s misguided action ... is no substitute for the Heroes Act’s strong tenant protections and rental relief” @RepMaxineWaters financialservices.house.gov/news/documents…

@EdLaborCmte

“#OSHA still refuses to issue any enforceable workplace safety standards; measly offer for education not enough to help schools reopen safely; child care system is on the brink of collapse; Trump proposal wouldn’t even cover half of what is needed.” @EdLaborCmte Chair @BobbyScott

@NydiaVelazquez

Trump proposal is “inadequate” and “fails to meet the needs of our country’s smallest businesses and employees ...particularly harmed by the Trump Administration’s ‘first-come-first-serve’ approach to #PPP.” #SmallBusiness Committee Chair @NydiaVelazquez smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documents…

@ZoeLofgren

“The #COVID pandemic, which the President downplays publicly, has put financial strain on our states and our Post Office when it comes to this election. Their proposal is a disgrace.” - House Admin Chair @ZoeLofgren cha.house.gov/media/press-re…

@OversightDems

“after months of dithering since the House passed the #HeroesAct... [Trump] is “inexplicably short-sighted and wildly deficient...directly jeopardizing the Constitution’s core requirements for a complete and accurate #Census.” -@OversightDems’ @RepMaloney oversight.house.gov/news/press-rel…

@SenateGOP

Act Now: ☎️ 202-224-3121 and urge the @SenateGOP to FUND a #COVID19 #STIMULUSPACKAGE with State/Local Aid for Essential Workers, Testing, Working Families Tax Benefits, Renters’ Assistance, OSHA, Child Care, Education, #SmallBiz, Elections & Census. We’re all in this together.

The key word in the California law allowing people to drop off their ballots at official drop boxes is “OFFICIAL” — not the unofficial (and hence unlawful) ballot boxes placed by the California Republican Party.

A thread: nytimes.com/2020/10/12/us/…

California passed and Jerry Brown signed a law providing for official, designated, (ADA) accessible ballot drop boxes. The regs are quite clear. See the sos.ca.gov website: Vote-by-Mail Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote-by-Mail Drop-Off Locations sos.ca.gov/administration…

See “CA Code of Regulations Title 2. Administration Division 7. Secretary of State
Chapter 3. Voting Locations
Article 1. Vote-by-Mail Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote-by-Mail Drop-Off Locations Sec 20132. Drop Box Design and Requirements” sos.ca.gov/administration…

Let’s have some real talk about #ReopeningSchools. My view is from being a proud #publicschool mom + class volunteer for art, library, pumpkin fest, school spirit merch sales + field trips over the last 6 years. Cannnot imagine ANY of these activities being coronavirus safe. 1/?

What happens in a k-5 #publicschool classroom? Well you have the day begin with all the kids together on a rug - each criss-cross applesauce on their own designated square. Are YOU going to put 25 kids on a rug together anytime soon? 2/?

Wait you might cram the kids on the rug? OK then - let’s say a couple of them have hair lice. 🐛

The teacher will send them home. To come back, the kids need lice testing, treatment, and a clearance note. The whole class + teacher need testing (+ treatments if infected) 3/?

As a progressive I want people to evolve. To me it’s clear that Bloomberg needs to sit with his supporters and critics, listen to their concerns, and share whether and how he rejects and regrets his past comments and actions. We ask this of every campaign; he is no exception.

As counsel for #WeSaidEnough I hear from supporters and critics when a candidate’s history comes up. Voters must see these issues taken seriously on the highest stage. A candidate being held accountable may not change my mind about them - but it should change them for the better.

That is a key goal of advocacy: state your case and test someone who wants your vote to be accountable to you when they need you (not wait til you need them). Everyone in modern politics is facing a reckoning on race, gender, equality; many are progressing. That’s a good thing!

@blakesmustache

@blakesmustache @cspan Indeed. Having been a prosecutor dealing with grand and petit (12 person) juries, I’m expecting the Judiciary Committee to collect evidence before listing the charges. OBSTRUCTION EMOLUMENTS
and NATIONAL SECURITY have been topics they investigate and litigate. #FollowTheFacts

@blakesmustache

@blakesmustache @cspan Anyone who participated in a grand jury or in a felony preliminary hearing presents the facts from an inspector and the live witnesses themselves. Although only an inspector is required in CA (with the case file being hearsay), we used live witnesses to test their credibility....

@blakesmustache

@blakesmustache @cspan ... and to let defendants know that the witness was going to show up. My cases were domestic violence and sex assault so witness intimidation was REAL and sometimes we added tampering charges against defendants. Here, Mueller was the Inspector not a live witness. We need both!
