"The employee went home feeling unwell on Tuesday, February 25 and has not entered Amazon offices since that time," the email said. "We are supporting the affected employee, who remains in quarantine," said an Amazon spokesman. 2/2


Joe Biden: "We were told when we got to Super Tuesday, it'll be over. Well, it may be over for the other guy."


Stay in line! Every vote matters. They're getting very scared. Pass it on


Running against no one and then bragging about your great victory reminds me of someone else...


My takeaway from this evening: moms and grandmoms of all backgrounds, creeds, ethnicities, and races really really really want Trump gone


Bernie’s speech offered hate (of the rich, the corporations, the political establishment, and of his chief rival, Biden, although he didn’t name him). Biden’s offered hope—a hope of healing the nation. The voters tonight are opting for hope. #SuperTuesday


At WH Coronavirus briefing with Pence, Fauci now reiterating that it will take more than a year to develop a Coronavirus vaccine. (He’s now said this publicly four times since Monday)


You lost tonight, @realDonaldTrump. Democrats around the country are fired up. We are decent, brave, and resilient people. We are better than you. Come November, we are going to beat you


It's not normal for the president to be so mean-spirited and to casually usual racial slurs


Pence says every American can get a coronavirus test


Senior admin official acknowledged Trump administration is feeling a major sense of urgency to distribute testing kits for the Coronavirus, amid bipartisan criticism that the kits are being deployed too slowly. “It’s a flashpoint right now,” the official said.

NEW: Sean Hannity continues to be a prominent presence in the #MuellerMemos (FBI 302s). In this latest batch we obtained, Rick Gates told Mueller's team that during the 2016 campaign, "Hannity tailored his shows to the agenda Manafort suggested."


This is what happens with rudderless “leadership.” Blame-games help NO ONE in the face of this serious #CoronavirusOutbreak. We need #fact-based leadership to coordinate an effective response to #coronavirus NOW. Otherwise, many Americans will suffer needlessly.#COVID19


So on @FoxNews earlier today, @GOPChairwoman repeated the ridiculous lie that an outcome in which DNC delegates don’t give the nomination to Sanders is “rigged.” Ex-DNC interim chair @donnabrazile was not having it


James Comey announces that he voted for Joe Biden.

Former Vice President @JoeBiden tells @Lawrence that his plan to expand health care under Obamacare is more feasible than Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All, which he believes will not pass in Congress.


Did you catch the dates and the context? August 2, 2016 - a few days after "Russia, if you're listening" - Manafort is meeting with Russian intel to discuss working on a "comeback" for Putin's Ukraine puppet, Yanukovych. Russia presses the advantage if you don't STOP THEM. HARD.


For context - and this is *critical* for why Putin launched this attack - the Magnitsky Act was closing down the flow of Russian Mob money starting in 2013. They went for democracy's *throat*.


Tad Devine's last communications about political work in Ukraine for Putin were in *2014* - within a YEAR of launching Bernie Sanders' campaign. GET IT YET?


This. ⁦ “National security professionals from across the U.S. government will meet today...for an unprecedented monitoring effort to counter cyberattacks and foreign disinfo aimed at Super Tuesday presidential primaries.”


Here is Trump actually asking if we could just use the seasonal flu vaccine (the one that is just a guess every year on the strain of flu we will have and changes every season and is not always effective) as a vaccine for coronavirus. OMG.


The key point I think has been neglected: Bernie's manager Devine didn't just work for the same pro-Putin candidate - Paul Manafort was the *prime contractor.* Devine worked FOR MANAFORT in Ukraine. On behalf of Putin.


A Republican congressman has condemned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for its “inexplicable” decision to stop publicly disclosing the number of Americans who have been tested for the novel coronavirus

Putin is getting scared and vindictive. He’s just frozen all the bank accounts of Alexey Navalny, his elderly parents and even his children. Alexey’s daughter who is a freshman at Stanford now can’t pay for anything.


FDA chief's claim of 1M coronavirus tests by end of week stirs controversy The announcement by Stephen Hahn comes amid intense scrutiny of the technical troubles that have slowed labs' adoption of the CDC diagnostic.

The tug-of-war between local officials and federal agencies on how best to contain the coronavirus is leaving quarantined people both figuratively and literally stuck.


yes it's real


Japan could be allowed to postpone Olympics to end of year, minister says


To recap... - Trump’s daughter works at the WH - Trump's son-in-law works at the WH - Giuliani’s son works at the WH - Barr’s son-in-law works at the WH - Barr’s daughter works at Treasury - Trump's sons still do foreign business But sure, let's talk about Hunter Biden again.


Apparently Trump and big pharma had to find a way to make the tests more expensive by having the U.S. manufacture them. I read the U.S. is charging $3000 per test when other countries are charging $17. Greed in this country is going to kill us all.


While dogs *can* test positive for the coronavirus, it doesn't necessarily mean they have been infected. In fact, most experts agree that they can't be. Here's why:

Joe Biden is one of the most honest, decent, practical, & experienced individuals with whom I have ever worked. If nominated & elected, he is capable of unifying our country & restoring America’s standing around the world. — John O. Brennan


Money, money, money: what's at stake if Olympics fall victim to coronavirus


Trump publicly argues with virus expert Dr. Fauci and demands vaccine in 'couple of months' - and Dr. Fauci repeatedly told him: "Like I've been telling you, a year to a year and a half," Trump then offered Seattle to a pharma company as "testing ground"


More incompetence. The Trump Administration not only bungled the rollout of #coronavirus testing, but now isn’t being transparent about the number of tests being conducted. Expect more mistakes.


Unfortunately, it appears that more nursing-home residents in #Washington, suspected to be infected with #coronavirus, may be suffering worsening of their condition. Heartbreaking that these folks at high-risk were exposed to


John Ratcliffe is unqualified to lead national intelligence, writes the Editorial Board


Rep. Nunes filed a defamation lawsuit against The Washington Post and journalist Shane Harris over an article reporting the congressman told President Trump about an intelligence briefing given to lawmakers regarding Russia and the 2020 election

Trump whips his audience into bloodlust by falsely saying Ralph Northam thinks mothers should have the right to "execute" their babies


We've reached the part of the rally where Trump takes credit for bills that were signed into law by Obama


Trump claims that news about the method by which Mexico is purportedly paying for the wall "got leaked to the fake news media." (This never happened.)


TRUMP: "Mexico is paying for the wall, by the way ... the media is going to be thrilled when I explain that Mexico is paying ... I created Space Force. I could do anything." (Mexico is not paying for the wall.)


TRUMP: "No president has done more for our black community." (Lincoln, FDR, and Obama could not be immediately reached for comment.)


Trump, who relentless & baselessly attacked Obama over an Ebola outbreak in the lead up to the 2014 midterms & has systematically destroyed America's pandemic response capabilities since taking office, demands Democrats cease any attacks against him over the coronavirus response


"I told the pharmaceutical companies that they have to do a better job on that vaccine" -- Trump admits he just learned that the flu can be deadly and says he wants the pharmaceutical companies to do something about it


TRUMP: "There are fringe globalists that would rather keep our borders open than keep our infection -- think of it -- keep all of the infection, let it come in."


"We had a great meeting today with a lot of the great companies, and they're going to have vaccines I think relatively soon. And they're going to have something that makes you better, and that's going to actually take place we think even sooner" -- Trump on the coronavirus
