Brown then slammed a president who spends most of his time judging America based on the stock market while doing nothing meaningful to stabilize the stock market. Containing and treating the spread of COVID-19 would go a long way to achieve even this president’s superficial goals, Brown said.

The best way to stop the spread of the virus is to say to people, if they’re sick, you can stay home. And you can get sick pay like every other country in the world. Every other rich country in the world provides sick pay for people who can’t go to work because they’re sick it’s just it’s as simple as that.

Brown then walked through Donald Trump’s dismantling of our infectious disease infrastructure, or the agency and people put in place to fight a pandemic like the one we are facing today. The Ohio senator tried to do his best to explain it in terms Trump and his sycophants might understand. Brown brought up the importance of giving relief to the working people and families in need, instead of more handouts to corporations. He pointed out that American corporations, enriched by the Republican scam tax cuts, reinvested nothing into their workforces and instead participated in a record number of stock buybacks—something that does nothing to prepare them for the current crisis.
And Sen. Brown is not simply responding like any decent human being would in a time of crisis: he’s responding to the people he represents and their needs, as well as the needs of Republican senators’ constituents. Tragically, a GOP consisting of people like Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul does not represent Americans in need.

And finally, because HOLY SHIT we are LITERALLY dealing with a pandemic, Sen. Mitch McConnell is at last promising he will do his job.

Donald Trump was asked about people like Sen. Brown, who had asked the white supremacist idiot to explain his plan to replace our infectious diseases teams. Trump called the question “nasty,” and said no one had ever asked him about it. Brown has the 2018 letter, sent by the Ohio senator, pinned to his Twitter account.

Promises from people like McConnell mean about as much as a promise from a witch in a Grimm’s fairytale, but it is … something.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
