Adding fuel to the fire, news began circulating last week that House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) had reportedly told colleagues that the bill provided "a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision."
Clyburn's comments came during a conference call last Thursday featuring more than 200 Democrats, in which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y) allegedly pushed for environmental measures and increased collective bargaining powers to be included in the stimulus package.
Germany: Borders are closed due to the coronavirus epidemic - except for migrants - Voice of Europe
"If you’re an American, British, French, or Swiss tourist who wants to take in some of the sights in Germany, you’ll have to wait a while before you can go because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic.
...Last week, Germany closed its land borders to all foreign citizens except for those providing essential services coming from France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
However, the German Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that “asylum-seekers” are still welcome in Germany in spite of the ban, according to a report by Junge Freiheit..." Read all.

Graham was joined by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, and Florida Sen. Rick Scott at the press conference to discuss the coronavirus emergency legislation. The presser was first announced in a tweet by Graham, saying they “will discuss a massive drafting error in the current version of the coronavirus relief legislation that could have devastating consequences.”

But there have been a number of companies taking on new workers.
Retail and delivery giants like Amazon.com and Walmart are both hiring, but another famous business is also looking for new employees -- one you'd think would be hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to CNBC, Domino's Pizza is looking to take on 10,000 new workers, even as the stock market is tumbling.

"...There are few things in modern life that gnaw at me like a shuttered church.
There’s something heartbreaking about a place built to exemplify faith that has failed and hollowed out.
...Right along with shuttered churches, shuttered businesses break the heart.
A failed business represents a failed dream, livelihoods lost, risks taken but not rewarded, the end to something that often did not lead to a new beginning, just bankruptcy. Before the virus, out-of-control property taxes were killing businesses around here. Now it's the virus.
We have hundreds of thousands of churches and businesses and schools across America that are closed now.
Many of them will not re-open.
They didn’t fail because of some flaw within them or because their model didn’t work. They failed, or will fail, because of a tyrannical system beyond our shores that lied to the whole world.
America’s churches and businesses and schools are closed because, on the other side of the world, China’s amoral dictators failed to be a normal nation and do the right thing.
They lied out of their paranoid obsession with power.
...The free world built up China’s economy in a naive attempt to free its people.
This faith that has truly failed. This is one business we should no longer patronize, one school that has taught us its final lesson..." Read all.
THEY ATE FISH-TANK CLEANER, BUT LOOK HOW CBS DESCRIBES IT: Arizona man dies, wife ill after taking drug touted as virus treatment: “Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure.” It’s not a “drug touted as virus treatment.” It’s fish tank cleaner, with warning labels, containing an ingredient that sounds similar. Press: Want people to stop thinking you’re garbage? Stop being garbage. And CBS, you’re garbage for running this story with this headline. Absolute garbage. And you don’t care, and we all know why.---Posted by Glenn Reynolds"
"Remington 870 Express Tactical 7-Round--If you grew up shooting a Remington pump there is no reason to switch now, because familiarity is probably the most important quality in an arm for home defense—which is often used in low light and always under duress.
But rather than using your old duck gun with the 28-inch barrel that can be difficult to maneuver and only sports a magazine capacity of four, Remington offers a tactical version of the venerable pump.
It holds seven rounds total, comes with a full-size soft-touch stock, a foolproof bead sight and a super easy-to-wield 18.5-inch barrel.
If you do your part, you can trust that this 870 is going to work every time.
I happen to like the crossbolt-style safety located on the trigger guard, because that’s what I’m used to. Plus, it’s the most-economical gun listed here. MSRP: $443"
These questions must be asked about how our nation should handle COVID-19. Public policymakers need to give us answers. - TheBlaze:
However, public policy requires a broader set of questions and considerations because it has sweeping implications. This is why our Constitution makes the president the CEO of America, and not the surgeon general.
Since shows like mine began doing the job the White House press corps is supposed to do, by asking skeptical questions to get real answers for the public rather than play China PR flack, many have asked me to compare and contrast an average flu season with the current pandemic. People are seeking some perspective on a virus most of them didn't know about just a few weeks ago, but is radically changing their lives now.
Watch This Epic Video Montage of Media Repeatedly Saying "Wuhan Coronavirus" - Before it was Considered Racist...

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), in a Tuesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily, said Democrats are “taking a wrecking ball to Main Street America” by pushing Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) relief package filled with “liberal wish list” items unrelated to the crisis at hand and demanded Democrats to throw her bill in the trash and provide relief to Americans “today.”
The Justice Department has quietly asked Congress for new "emergency powers" amid the coronavirus outbreak, including the power to ask chief judges to indefinitely detain people without trial.
The DOJ has proposed numerous emergency measures, according to Politico, which obtained and reviewed documents the DOJ sent to lawmakers.
