You come at a time when usaid is making headlines for doing nothing more than the job you were appointed to do.

It was worthy of an Academy Award. When she said that, one of the irs folks who heard it, cindy th
Itself, ill talk to a senator proposing a plan to stop federal troops from dropping into cities uninvited. All in starts now. Good evening from philadelphia im ali velshi in for chris hayes. As the Coronavirus Crisis grows worse with each passing day, with cases per capita now increasing in 44 u. S. States and territories, and decreasing in just three, the president today reconstituted his briefings about the virus in an attempt to signal that hes actually doing something about the pandemic raging across this country but donald trump didnt actually do anything in that Briefing Room today didnt wear a mask, he didnt provide useful information.
