● Republican lawmakers have a message for Trump: Shut up. Turns out, those endless press briefings aren’t playing as well as he thinks they are, and that’s not just a Democrat’s opinion.

● Democrats demand answers to how a tax break benefiting Trump and Kushner got into coronavirus bill.

● At-risk janitors, housekeepers, other non-clinical hospital staffers “terrified” about coronavirus.

● D.C.'s hospitality and tourism authority announces $5 million in relief for undocumented workers. Hugely important move for a group that’s being left out of too much of the (already insufficient) assistance going to newly unemployed people.

● Spurred by the coronavirus crisis, and Trump’s incompetence and corruption in dealing with it, California declares (rhetorical) independence from the undemocratic Trumpian States of America.
