Feeling your pain? Virus reaches into the lives of Congress.

. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's brother died from the virus. Florida congressman Mario Diaz-Balart contracted it.

“Everyone by now knows someone that had it," said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., whose husband, John Bessler, recovered from a frightening coronavirus infection that sent him to the hospital. “Even if the person didn’t get really sick, they all know how scary it is. They know how scared they were.” And round it goes, even as everyone in the political world strives to project empathy. The task is especially tall for the nation's 45th president, who is not known for feeling other people's pain.

In sections of the country where the virus was slow to spread, lawmakers said the difficult conversations revolve around the financial straits of families who can't work because of closures.

So much of what our government does affect us adversely -- us, the common people, while they remain rich and unscathed. Finally, something that they can't avoid!

“Humbling” big bet

Time to grow up and do your jobs . You are payed well to perform.

If our Government can't figure out it is not a good idea to have a lot of people around each other, how do they expect certain American's to understand? Let our Freedoms and liberties kill!!

ObamaGate

Good, it should be worse for them of the GOP/Right wing conservatives to far RtWg

Aaawww, criminal class that just stole trillions and buried generations of us in avalanche of inequality has a sad that it's taking too long to cut Medicare/Social Security? Maybe they can get succor from eliminating the last crumbs of public housing after destroying the USPS.

Maybe now they'll fucking do something about it.

Fear. Anger, Sorrow and Isolation? Wait till they experience Death from COVID-19, then they may understand

Good

Awwwwwwwwwww

It’s about time.

So hard to tell they feel anything while they tell states to file bankruptcy and mock other members - they really hide their despair well !

It only we could direct it to Mitch McConnell’s office. That would be copacetic.

They are filthy rich, they get priority over testing, fuck em. They'll be fine.

Unfortunately, not Trump

GOOD!!!!!

Tf! 😂😂😂

sad bit this is the way to get them to focus on finding a vaccine soon.

Hope2020

Oh, please. We will know Congress 'gets it' when they: 1) toss Trump out on his fat ass. 2) stop giving bailouts to billionaires and start helping the little people. 3) implement universal healthcare.

The Mainstream Media today is saying that all women should be heard but last year they said all women should be believed!

”Recovery”? The virus is still kicking ass.

You don’t look sad.

Welcome to the club, 80k deaths preventable.

I mean they weren’t wearing masks, still shaking hands and god knows what else 🤷🏻‍♀️

It has no care it attacks everybody time to attack it with world efforts and eradicate it forever now

Trump has a republican meeting Friday afternoon at 1pm. I wonder how they are all feeling?

When you do the wrong thing you have poor results. Bad behavior creates bad outcomes.

and quite frankly why should the general public care. the fact is we are suffering from this virus from health to finances. while these clowns in the WH get to live their wealthy lives.

so what everybody is affected you think bc congress has power their not affected by this disease. sorry everybody is affected in some form or another. idc how much power/money you have. this disease affects everybody nobody is immune to it.

It is important to establish laws following which people's behaviors are conducted, knowing what is wrong to do and what is right to do on the basis that people would be kind to others from the nature of human beings or rather animals.

eres un diablo batistiano

Good. Congress needs to be afraid. Especially the science phobic wingnuts

Like Cuomo “quarantined” in his basement? The mayor of (insert city) getting haircuts while others can’t? Politicians going to their second, third, or fourth home telling us the shutdown isn’t that bad?

YAWN

Good.

Why wouldn’t they?

Whatever?!

Good

y’all couldn’t find a better pic of this man😟

Luckily Republicans were able to make a lot of money off the pandemic to make themselves feel better.

Side by side comparison of deaths due to Seasonal Flu and Covid-19 this season. Explain why the country is STILL on lockdown.

Yes.

A VIRUS HAS NO LOYALTY AND KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES STAY OUT OF ITS WAY

Whoever digs a hole for others always they themselves falls into it

👍😁🍿

I imagine once Biden figures out how to conduct a simple Zoom conference...he can bring the economy back.

Sad 😥 hoping medicine 💊 is here soon

i bet because they are being selfish,people are dying and they worried about the wrong things.people are sacrificing their lives to make a living while the whitehouse is having a boston tea party..

As this happens congress just chillin raking In their own checks off the backs of hardworking Americans.

Republicans have made the pandemic worse!

pass another bill for stimulus checks.

As it should.

All of whom have easy access to top notch medical care. Now do a story about how realDonaldTrump is trying to destroy the ACA in the middle of a fucking pandemic. Wrote every day. Until the election.

Who gives a fuck!!!
