    The irony is the police stole more out my office than the looters 🤦🏾‍♂️

    When 8 or more CPD officers & supervisors are caught camping out in ’s office, making popcorn & brewing coffee in midst of neighborhood looting, it’s an insult to the Congressman, the people they were sworn to protect & their fellow officers who were doing their job.

    The fact that the FOP believes somehow the officers were entitled to something that wasn’t theirs in the name of “protection” is another indication that police have lost the sense of responsibility that comes with the badge.

    .‘s Catanzara responds to officers “lounging” in congressman’s office: “This was at worst, misconduct... they made it sound like, when they called the press conference, they were going to have police on video stealing stuff...they were sitting their protecting it.”

    1. That's a lot of 6s. 2. There're a TON of conspiracy theories (ie. mark of the beast). 3. The sponsor () and many of the 45 co-sponsors (including ) are folks with a history of working FOR the people.

    One payment is not a one size fits all solution. I’m proud to Stand with this push for reoccurring payments for our residents.

    One-time payments are not enough. People need more money in their pockets, and sending monthly payments to workers and families is the best way to address that need. Today, I led more than 50 members of Congress in pushing leadership for recurring monthly cash payments.

    The epidemic of poverty within the black community will always amplify the issues that plague the rest of the world. We need equitable solutions that ensure our residents have a fair chance of survival.

    We must take this current cold deadly serious, and we must ensure that the needs of the black community as it relates to COVID-19 are taken just as seriously as well, writes.
