Jesus. It's OK To Deny Puerto Ricans Their Rights For 2 More Months?
A federal judge on Monday ruled that it is unconstitutional to deny Puerto Ricans living in the U.S. territory access to three federal welfare programs in a major decision cheered by many.

Uh, Oh. Pompeo Subpoenaed By The House For Dirty Politics
According to a press release from the House’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY)  “issued a subpoena to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as part of the committee’s investigation of his apparent use of Department of State resources to advance a political smear of former Vice President Joe Biden.”


Donnie, you silly man! You said your friend Herman Cain died of the “China Virus.” Listen, I’m no Chinacologist, but they’re not the ones who held a flop rally in Tulsa where attendees skipped masks. Everyone knows it’s your fault. Maybe soon we’ll call it the Resigner Virus! - Bette Midler

There's A Mrs. Pompeo? 
As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo prepared to tour the Middle East last year, senior State Department officials debated whether they could legally justify his wife Susan’s desire to travel with him.
Susan Pompeo had been invited to events in two capitals, Cairo and Abu Dhabi, by foreign officials. But circumstances had grown complicated: a U.S. government shutdown meant the State Department had to be exceptionally careful with spending, and her presence would incur some costs to taxpayers.

Floridians Are Suffering Because Their Governor Kept The State Open For Spring Break. Dumb Ass.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has seen his approval rating nosedive in recent weeks as the state has become one of the new epicenters for the coronavirus pandemic.
A poll by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy released Friday shows that 45 percent of respondents said that they approved of the DeSantis' job performance, while 49 percent disapproved.
This is a stark contrast from the last iteration of the survey in March when 62 percent of Florida voters said that they approved of the job DeSantis was doing, with just 24 percent saying they disapproved.
