Source: News and Guts link

Rep. Adam Schiff does not mince words. He is a skilled orator and writer as we learned during Donald Trump’s impeachment. Today he posted on Twitter his reaction to Trump’s move to block Postal Service funding. Tweet embedded in link.

My question to Adam Schiff - does this rise to the level of an impeachable offense and if so...what next?

Question: Can we even survive five more months of Trump?

Even if, hoping if, praying if, GOTV if we can get this Trumpanidemaniac out of office -- can we even survive five more months?

I am hoping for more condemnations from prominent Republican figures, more editorial boards and we the people demanding the resignation of this madman. Yes, this is about BLM, yes this is about systemic oppression, but it is always about white supremacy and we have a "leader" who's motto "Make America Great Again" is nothing more than not-so-veiled racism.

Bringing home the (healthy) kids from college - social distancing enough?

If there is already a post on this, I apologize. My daughter is (hopefully) returning home (to Central Oregon) on Saturday, from the East coast. She and some other college friends have been out hiking in the Smoky Mountains/surroundings. They drove from Hanover, NH to the outskirts of Boston, where they stayed with a student's family. As they were driving south toward Tennessee, each night they stayed with students' families. They have been as careful as they can, but obviously have been doing some food shopping and other transactions. They are hiking for another day or so, then driving back toward the Boston area, dropping off students on the way back.

My daughter will fly from Boston Logan (direct) to Portland, OR, where we will pick her up and drive her home. My husband and I are ages 58 and 63 and healthy. So, is social distancing enough, or should she/we take more prudent measures? She will want to visit with her high school friends, who are also all home early. Thinking about where the balance is of being prudent, careful, cautious.

Appreciate any thoughts and links to articles on this (including measures she can take at the airport and on the airplane)

Two Republican Senators have said they will vote against Betsy DeVos! The vote is now 50-50. We need one more Republican to vote no. 202-225-3121
