It’s *very* easy to find Republicans saying they want to cut entitlements like Social Security and Medicare, a thread Paul Ryan was talking about it while Trump was in office, and he was back up by plenty Republicans - some of whom are still in office.

Something worth highlighting in this Covid-19 relief *law*: It subsidizes COBRA premiums at 100%

If you lose your job/have reduced hrs and lose your employer-sponsored health insurance, the federal government will cover your premiums fully through Sept!

huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide… Some context: COBRA is a federal program that lets you keep the insurance plan your former job offered after you've left, as long as you pay all the costs out of pocket.

It's supposed to make sure there's no coverage lapse but that's prohibitively expensive for a lot of folks.

.@Sen_JoeManchin met with min. wage and tipped min. wage workers today advocating for a $15 min. wage

He told them he was opposed, supports $11, per the workers who spoke with him

Rev. Barber said he was "amazed" Manchin heard their stories and still opposed the policy. These workers didn't leave the meeting with @Sen_JoeManchin with a good impression.

Brianna Griffith, from Fayette County, WV, said she felt Manchin had his "head in the cloud" when it came to poverty in his state.

A Byrd Rule casualty: paid leave.

Democratic aides told us they can't pass a paid leave mandate through reconciliation. Republicans are against the mandate anyways.

The temporary fix: the same optional tax credits for some businesses.
