Wait a minute. Why can't we attack Feinstein? Newsom would just appoint a younger Democratic woman for Feinstein's seat anyway. If Democratic leadership condemns all four of the grifters, maybe it could push GOP leadership to do the same. It wouldn't even be a net loss. Worst thing happens, Weinstein gets replaced, and the Democrats can hammer the GOP in the media for being obvious crooks for not doing the same for Burr, Inhofe, and Loeffler.

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are providing special payment relief to individuals and businesses in response to the COVID-19 Outbreak. The filing deadline for tax returns remains April 15, 2020. The IRS urges taxpayers who are owed a refund to file as quickly as possible. For those who can't file by the April 15, 2020 deadline, the IRS reminds individual taxpayers that everyone is eligible to request a six-month extension to file their return.

The weather and closed gyms and being mostly otherwise housebound contributed to there being way too many people at the local track tonight.

Everything Trump touches dies.

that information was also relayed in a text this morning that told me to put a couple trash bags and a change of clothes out on the porch so she could change out there when she gets home tonight before she enters the house. that surprised me a bit because her work environment is a sterile one where they change when they get to work into stuff that is then sterilized after their shifts after they change out before leaving.

I'll probably be leaving a glass of wine out there for her with the trash bags

I think the whiners got to the governor. Was changed from an “essential service” like pharmacies and gas stations to a “non-essential service”.

Have they shut down all non-essential business in Nevada? It's hard to keep track.

What does she do? My wife is getting close to being called in to work at the hospitals in some fashion. Debating if we quarantine her in the guest room She'd have a master bedroom with shower, and a downstairs livingroom arrangement with a foldout couch and TV. We have a mini freezer and need to get a fridge, but also have a microwave in there, so it really could be a separate apartment. Even has an outside entrance and garage entrance. Just can't imagine keeping her locked away. My daughter isn't going to be able to handle that. OTOH, a lot of hospital workers are testing positive, even ones that aren't working with COVID cases. Could be infected people treated for other issues, or they could be infected outside work and just bringing the virus with them. We are seriously fucked over the next 2 weeks.
