Social media has dissolved the mortar of our society and made America stupid, @JonHaidt argues. It’s not just a phase: https://t.co/0iKGIRwE8H

Remember when the @nytimes thought high-ranking officials using personal email accounts was front page news?

New: Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sent an email about Jan. 6 — apparently on his personal account — saying National Guard would “protect pro Trump people”, per his contempt report: https://t.co/8tqvPzdlU0

To be more concerned about inflation than a plot to end democracy is pretty much a definition of the choice made by many in pre-WW2 Germany.

COVID Update: 2 weeks ago we said we would know a lot more about Omicron in 2 weeks.

I’ve rounded up the best scientific opinions to share a consensus. 1/

Yes, you sadly read that right. #EndQualifiedImmunity

All three of my daughters were born after Roe v. Wade – it’s unfathomable that they could soon live in a world where they would have fewer protected rights than when they were born.

It’s time to codify abortion access in law.

I'm traveling the state to say 'Thank You, Virginia.' Today, we start with major news: I'm proposing record funding for public education and a 10% raise for teacher pay. That is a 20% total raise during my term—finally, Virginia’s teachers will be paid above the national average!

Pope Francis, in Greece, warns of a global "retreat from democracy."

"Democracy … demands hard work and patience," he told diplomats and political leaders in Athens. "It is complex, whereas authoritarianism is peremptory and populism's easy answers appear attractive."

President Biden gets a standing ovation at the #kennedycenterhonors after David Letterman says it’s nice that the Presidential box is filled again. (For the first time since 2016)

[Falls Church Views @fallschurchview]

Sad news: An employee of the Einstein Brothers Bagels on Broad Street tells me that the store will be closing permanently on Tuesday. A Five Guys burgers will replace it.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

Every Senate Republican just voted to undermine the Administration's efforts to fight the Covid pandemic.

Letting the virus spread unchecked could undo the progress we made on the economy, jobs, and reopening businesses and schools, but their priority is appeasing anti-vaxxers.

Here you have it: Trump tested positive for COVID on the 26th then held this event with Gold Star families on the 27th with NO MASKS. He later blamed them for giving it to him and he already knew he was positive standing there with kids and elderly family members of the fallen.

Yellen: Food insecurity dropping 24 percent for families after Biden's Child Tax Credit "a profound economic and moral victory for the country"

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

What kind of democracy lets those in power draw their own districts to ensure they stay in power? Asking for a nation on the brink.

Just remember:

1. It’s possible for commentators to talk about golf the way Phil does.

2. We get Faldo.

Important verdict for Virginia and the entire country. Hatred and the violence that stems from it have no place in this Commonwealth or this nation. Thinking of Heather Heyer, Jay Cullen, Berke Bates and their families today and always.

Everyone who participates in Democratic politics should take a few minutes to read this analysis of a Biden-Youngkin focus group from northern Virginia and Richmond: https://t.co/GOACI8eWbX
