Jen Psaki says CARES Act money could "certainly" be used to pay the salaries of anyone who Ron DeSantis strips funding from in Florida's school system for imposing a mask mandate.

If you won't lead, the President will have to do it for you. Old Ron will be singing the Charlie Brown song. "I say ah why's everybody always picking on me?"

everywhere. The government should, though, sue the states later to retrieve any funds paid out and put them back into the Cares Act fund.

With a pitchfork. An old rusty, manure-encrusted, tetanus- and delta-infected pitchfork. Sideways.

Way to step in and put DeathSantis in his proper place: the dust bin of history, because that's all he's going to have after his current term is finished.

Makes me so proud to be a Democrat. 🥳

So much better than the angry, nasty ones we had to put up with the past four years. Remember Sean Spicer and the crabby gal from Arkansas? The cool Italian guy only lasted a few hours.

There are some school districts who will be defying the orders of the so-called governor. I don't think the demon realized how much power the presidential office has. He doesn't have his boyfriend in office to back him anymore. Cheers to the Biden Administration!

Press secretaries are integral to an administration. I hope Jen remains in that position a long time. She is excellent.

They need to make that money free of state income taxes, unemployment, and insurance costs.

Send a message to the states. If the country pays your employees because of your asinine rules, it will cost you too.
