A series of viral photos and videos show the paltry workout room NCAA provided the women's basketball tournament bubble — with just a set of dumbbells and yoga mats.

The men's room? Dozens of Olympic power racks.

The disparities didn't stop there.

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Today, @POTUS directed states to add preK-12 educators, school staff & licensed childcare workers to our current vaccine prioritization. We are adding these workers to Washington’s Phase 1B-1 immediately.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.

It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

Unless the Senate reforms the filibuster, it will remain a broken, stagnant institution where an unelected parliamentarian decides whether or not we can get a minimum wage increase.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would benefit 32 million workers and would give low-wage workers an extra $3,300 a year.

I'll say that again. Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would benefit 32 MILLION workers. Let's get it done.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

I want all trans and non-binary people to know you are valued, you are loved, and that we will keep fighting to make sure you can live freely, safely, and openly exactly as you are.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Here’s what's in the COVID relief package:

Direct checks to families
Unemployment assistance
Money to reopen schools
Vaccine funding
Food aid
$15 minimum wage
Child care funding
Rental assistance
Eviction moratorium

All popular. All necessary. All urgent. Let’s get it done.

Ted Cruz, just as big an asshole as you thought, but even dumber.

Congratulations to NASA and everyone whose hard work made Perseverance’s historic landing possible. Today proved once again that with the power of science and American ingenuity, nothing is beyond the realm of possibility.

[Lisa Desjardins @LisaDNews]

Trump is acquitted.

But this is the largest number of senators to vote to convict a president of their party in US history.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

As expected, Senate votes NOT to convict former President Trump for a second time.

The final vote is 57 to 43.

[Judy Woodruff @JudyWoodruff]

for the first time, Senator @PattyMurray shares with me her harrowing account of hiding, being just inches away from the angry, violent mob at the Capitol on Jan 6th “they were yelling ‘kill the infidels’” @NewsHour tonight

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

My first political “fight” was to guarantee new moms and their babies a 48-hour hospital stay. Everyone I spoke with understood that storming the maternity wing was not part of the plan. Context matters, huh?

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Thank you, Officer Goodman.

I just put forward legislation to award him the Congressional Gold Medal—Congress's highest honor.

It passed the Senate.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to him, the Capitol Police, Metro Police, and teams that were protecting the Capitol on January 6.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Trump’s lawyers can’t contest the facts, so they’re making a false claim about the First Amendment.

Let's be clear: Trump has no First Amendment right to violate his oath of office.

No more than a fire chief has the right to tell arsonists to burn down the station.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Pathetic. Trump’s attorneys still will not acknowledge that Trump lost the election. That’s what the Big Lie is all about.

Scott and Rubio saw no evil that day at the Capitol — to their everlasting shame | Opinion https://t.co/auex1dBclH

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

The majority of Americans want Donald Trump convicted and barred from holding office.

Senate Republicans, remember that when you vote. Do what’s right for our nation and our democracy.

So TV viewers knew Pence was in danger but Trump did not?
