YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHost John Iadarola is joined by Emma Vigeland, correspondent and producer of TYT’s Rebel HQ, to break down all of today’s news.
The Trump Admin. screws over National Guard members currently helping states with coronavirus relief, ordering an end to their deployment just one day before they would have become eligible for benefits. Trump is self-medicating and it’s going exactly the way you’d expect. Pelosi expresses her concerns over Trump’s usage of hydroxychloroquine, noting it’s particularly dangerous for those in his age and weight group. The Ahmaud Arbery case takes another dark turn as more evidence of racism emerges. Indian and Bangladeshi citizens evacuate as a dangerous “Super Cyclone” approaches the region. Sean Hannity will say just about anything to convince his viewers that we should re-open.

"More than 40,000 National Guard members currently helping states test residents for the coronavirus and trace the spread of infections will face a “hard stop” on their deployments on June 24 — just one day shy of many members becoming eligible for key federal benefits, according to a senior FEMA official.
The official outlined the Trump administration’s plans on an interagency call on May 12, an audio version of which was obtained by POLITICO. The official also acknowledged during the call that the June 24 deadline means that thousands of members who first deployed in late March will find themselves with only 89 days of duty credit, one short of the 90-day threshold for qualifying for early retirement and education benefits under the Post-9/11 GI bill.
The looming loss of crucial frontline workers, along with questions about whether the administration is shortchanging first responders, would require a delicate messaging strategy, the official — representing FEMA’s New England region — told dozens of colleagues on the interagency call."
