Those who performed today's reprehensible acts were rioters, insurrectionists, thugs, domestic terrorists They don't represent America They were violent extremists who tried to take over the Capitol They must be prosecuted to the full extent But tonight Democracy will triumph

Let’s be clear: This is a partisan attack on Pennsylvania’s elections, our votes, and democracy. Our counties are working tirelessly to process votes as quickly AND as accurately as possible. Pennsylvania will have a fair election and we will count every vote.

Social distancing bends the curve and relieves some pressure on our heroic medical professionals. But in order to shift off current policies, the key will be a robust system of testing and monitoring – something we have yet to put in place nationwide. nytimes.com/2020/04/06/upsho…

HIDOE sent a memo 3/27 saying "Schools shall conduct IEP meetings virtually using secured WebEx or conference calls" Memo is called "Programming & Timelines..." So here's the how to guide for that. Note teachers need to be in their state google account.bit.ly/33YwLV6

Doctors and nurses aren't doing the testing, it's the lab. Without us there are no results. Would appreciate a little mutual respect from the public. 😢

Wow. Trump’s administration simulated a deadly pandemic outbreak from China throughout 2019 and found the government response “underfunded, underprepared and uncoordinated” They did next to nothing to fix it — and went on to propose even deeper CDC cuts nytimes.com/2020/03/19/us/po…
