https://twitter.com/jeffsessions/status/1264028159965528065?s=20Immeasurable Travesty. Trump blocking FEMA funeral assistance for CV victims
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/05/02/fema-m02.htmlWhile an ocean of new funds have been made available to the agency, an April 28 White House memorandum directed to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Administrator of FEMA, sharply curtailed how the funds could be appropriated. Language within the memo prohibits individual assistance, that is funds provided to the states and then distributed to individuals through FEMA assistance programs, except for crisis counseling services.

My dad is near death with COVID. He is on oxygen & morphine
And the priest has been there. He has dementia but physically well and then went to hospital for a back problem on May 1st, he tested negative and on May 2, he was sent to a CT nursing home. He tested positive yesterday May 10 and they said death was now imminent.
I am 1500 miles away. CT has a 14 day self quarantine policy. Trying to figure out how to get up there.
My dad is a WW2 vet - South Pacific. He raised us 4 kids. My 94 yo mom has taken care of him but he fell and she couldn't lift him. Tremendous guilt like we all sent him into danger to his death.
Please takeaway, as Democrats, please, that these people in nursing homes are being literally exterminated in a different way. If you ever have any say so to help stop the slaughter by any means...asking for military medical help, state and local funding, an emergency revamp of facilities ASAP, PLEASE keep it in mind.
These great people don't deserve this horrible end. And when you have to hear your own mother cry, a good wife of 72 years, because she can't be there to hold his hand, you will never experience anything more heartbreaking in your entire life.
On edit: thank you so much. There are so many kind and loving people here. If you find yourself in a situation like ours, and you are lucky enough to be able to somehow afford it, store the dining room table, or bed and rent a hospital bed. Medicare may cover a visiting nurse. Don't do what we did. See if there's anyway they can stay home for a while. ❤️ to all

Trump couldn't even keep them safe? Or they dumbed down to please him? Either way, if Dems don't use this every day, starting tomorrow morning on every show, shame on us.
