Currently experts expect over 1 million deaths in the U.S. since the virus was not contained & we cannot even test for it. This will be recorded as a major preventable public health disaster. I will try to relate what I learned from a long day of calls about what is happening.

To everyone in NYC but ESPECIALLY healthy people & people under 40 (bc from what I’m observing that’s who needs to hear this again): PLEASE stop crowding bars, restaurants, and public spaces right now. Eat your meals at home. If you are healthy, you could be spreading COVID.

France has shuttered nightlife, Spain and Italy are on complete lockdown, and like half of DC is crammed into bars and restaurants. I don’t understand why it hasn’t sunk in here that a lot of people are going to die.

This. This. This. Rep. Gerry Connolly brilliantly calls out Republicans, who've tried to claim that DEMOCRATS are politicizing the outbreak, while Trump is literally showing up to press conferences in campaign merch. Listen to every second of this.

Brooke McDonald O'Hare Intl. Airport What a horrible situation at the O’Hare airport. The whole purpose of enhanced screening is to protect us. But by creating this huge bottleneck, it is doing the exact opposite and endangering all of us. I’d call it ironic if it wasn’t so tragic and devastating.

every debate should be sans audience

I carefully read President-elect Biden’s America Rescue Plan. It’s full of many things I’ve been fighting for: Hazard pay. Rent and utility assistance. An eviction moratorium. Extended and expanded unemployment. Paid leave. A $15 minimum wage. An OSHA ETS. And lots, lots more.

intellectually knowing that something is coming does not prepare you for the devastation in the body when it hits

One of the worst American days of my lifetime.

Know your rights and make sure those around you do as well. ✊

The ACA provided health care to millions. GOP repeal bill provides wealth care to a select few. Call your representative and yell at them.

I thought the point of learning history was to prevent us from repeating mistakes. However, since we're a nation of C students...HERE WE ARE
