California governor signs bill giving prisoners battling wildfires a shot at becoming pro firefighters

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...se/5775119002/

Under California bill AB2147, Gov. Gavin Newsom is allowing certain prisoners who are on the front lines of wildfire containment to have their records expunged after serving their sentences. The goal is to make it easier for them to have a firefighting career after release.

Criminal records are often a bar to employment. Newsom said he wants to give the prisoners a shot at becoming firefighters and that removing their criminal history will make that more possible.

"California inmate firefighter program is decades-old and has long needed reform," Newsom said on Twitter Friday. "Inmates who have stood on the front lines, battling historic fires should not be denied the right to later become a professional firefighter."

Meanwhile, many Repube-run states are doing everything possible to ensure inmates are never rehabilitated, are kept in for-profit hellholes owned by billionaire Repube contributors, are never allowed to vote...

Pelosi anticipates reaching economic relief deal with Mnuchin, saying Trump diagnosis ‘changes the dynamic’
Trump administration officials now pushing hard for deal; Pelosi urges airlines to stop furloughs

https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-po...omic-stimulus/

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday she anticipates striking a bipartisan economic relief deal with the Trump administration, suggesting that President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis could speed up an agreement. She called on airlines to hold off on imminent furloughs pending a deal.

“This kind of changes the dynamic because here they see the reality of what we have been saying all along -- this is a vicious virus,” Pelosi said on MSNBC.

“I’m optimistic, I’m always optimistic,” she said, “We always have to find a path, that is our responsibility to do so, and I believe that we will.”

Gotta love real leadership...

Lindsey Graham hammered by Democrat opponent who tells him to ‘be a man’ and likens him to a cheating child in election debate

First time I've actually seen Jaime Harrison speak. Pretty clear why he's neck-and-neck vs this hypocritical weasel, even in a horrifically redneck state like SC. Very good performance.

Graham hob-nobbing with the Proud Boy boss will be an attempt to activate alt right support, and possibly line up right wing voter intimidation action, as he struggles for re-election against a black candidate.

In a sane country, a lying, hypocritical piece of garbage like Lindsey would be run out of town. In SC, he still has a good chance of winning. Sad.
