[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The pandemic hit in 2020. We should not use 2019 income to determine relief eligibility.

Here’s a look at how law enforcement responded to Trump supporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and #BlackLivesMatter protesters near the White House last year. More: https://t.co/At3Y4nRtLi

[Where in the World is… @OhJodi_]

Y’all probably didn’t know this, but this tiny lil pocket on your jeans is for your second stimulus.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

Also: water is wet.

[The COVID Tracking Project @COVID19Tracking]

Our weekly data update is live. All major US COVID-19 metrics rose sharply from last week. Cases are up more than 40%, while tests only rose 13%. Currently hospitalized continued to follow cases upward.

Deaths increased nearly 23% from a week ago.

Because we all know they haven't been actually testing daily, or they've been lying about it.

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

Given what we’ve been seeing over the past 9 months, the likelihood of this many people developing symptoms the same day that they first test positive, while getting daily tests, feels extremely low to me.

Or did I miss changes in our estimates of incubation & latent periods?

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST: evaluating the President’s treatment regimen.

Wow

[Axios @axios]

.@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”

@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”

Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

My sincere advice to the billionaires, mega corporations & Congress is to redistribute the wealth now like FDR before the guillotines come out.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

America’s not perfect but in times of crisis, our political leaders set aside their differences and ask: “What’s the least amount of aid we can provide people without them literally rioting?”

[Current Affairs @curaffairs]

this is the moment when large corporations are going to finally eat the entire rest of the economy. bezos will quadruple his wealth by the time this is all done. because the larger the corporation the longer they can hang on, they will "win the market" and control it forever.

[Current Affairs @curaffairs]

worth pointing out that while it indeed horrific to see federal agents seizing people off the street who have done nothing wrong, it is not actually a new kind of totalitarianism, it is just doing to citizens what is done every day around the country to noncitizens

[Attorney General Dan Rayfield @AGDanRayfield]

Tonight we will file a lawsuit in federal court against U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Federal Protection Service alleging they seized and detained Oregonians without probable cause.

Yesterday I shared this informative heat map of new cases in Florida. Of course the yellow triangle is the most attention-grabbing, but keep an eye on the brightening bottom right corner. We are seeing more infections in kids.
