Have they said anything about the timeline of the additional stimulus money?

that makes me a little nervous. New York says they're going to run out of initial doses three days before they'll get more so the CDC is looking into releasing some of the doses held back for second doses. Not sure who has the final say on how those doses are used but Cuomo does not seem to be on board with that.

Cuomo is doing what he wants as he wants it. He’s calling the shots on this

Addressing housing crisis failure to act equals wave of evictions overwhelm shelters etc esp during covid plys help mom and pop landlords. Extends nationwide moratorium on evictions

EO directs all fed agencies to help American hurting
1in7 report food insecurity
AG dept to consider helping enroll people to get more benefits
I’m not a huge fan of Governing by EO but I am really loving his.

What a class act. And, the way it reads, doesn't sound like it was geared only toward getting pretty pictures for the press, or pulling people off duty and having them stand around waiting for FLOTUS' arrival, either.

Like everyone I've enjoyed the memes but: I've seen this sentiment a few times and I'm of two minds. I'm not sure if my view that Bernie seemed to be more focused on his own feelings than the amazing history of the moment is the result of my negative feelings towards Bernie and his style and misogyny. Like am I just being hypersensitive or was he genuinely showing his whole white ass? And some say things like "no woman could do this" but also like did y'all see Yellen in her snuggie??

I did a lesson today on Amanda Gorman’s inauguration poem, and oh my gawd I’m exhausted. Some of my classes were capable of talking poetry, current events, and politics respectfully, some were very much not and needed a ton of (not always successful) redirection and reframing.
It was all very engaging and satisfying overall, but it kept me on my toes for hours straight and my brain is fried.

I guess I am not sure if Bernie is grumpy or just really cold.

Honestly I don’t love Bernie but I loves these memes because he looks so ridiculous and it kind of validates that he’s a grumpy old white man who pouts when doesn’t get his way. I do respect that he’s turned it into a fundraiser for food insecurity.

Sometimes when talking pro's and con's about term limits and electing officials who've actually served in a few offices on their 'way up the ladder', I remember that it can be good to have people who know what the heck they're doing in their 'industry' representing me. Or at least know who to ask about how to get things done.

Joe Manchin sort of signaled he was looking forward to his new position of power as a swing voter. And before inauguration he was signaling concern about the $1.9T price tag on recovery.
I checked his Twitter and there's nothing on how he may vote on the recovery act...anyone seen anything?

I don’t know. I think the Bernie thing seems like a reach. He’s got his issues with women and what not. But in this instant I don’t see it. I think he’s got permanent resting bitch face. Some people aren’t so outward with their emotions and expressions. He seems to be like that. I will say, being outside in cold temperatures puts me in a bad mood. Jane was there and she always seems neutral to me. I don’t know. Like I get it. But I don’t see that here.

I honestly don't get the Grumpy Bernie stuff (and I'm not his biggest fan either). He had a mask on and he was literally just sitting there looking cold so I don't get the whole "he was pouting, looking bored" thing. And its not like he knew someone would take his picture and it would blow up this way thereby pulling focus from anyone.
