I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m running for President of the United States.

I think this is one of the best pieces of journalism I have ever read. https://t.co/5F8xXKAyLM

Does SNAP cover the cost of a meal in your county in 2020? Take a look at our updated interactive map: https://t.co/ZrLHKtEnYl

.@WaxmanElaine: "Moral of the story from the pandemic is: Fast & simple... That's what we needed. When we had success, it was fast & simple." (via @hbottemiller)

does this count as a citation? 🙃 But really: nice to reach the point where we hear child poverty mentioned everywhere from POTUS speeches to @LastWeekTonight. Thinking a lot of those who have worked decades to build the evidence base (and political momentum) for these policies.

Vaccine “hesitancy” isn't the biggest challenge but making it convenient to get vaccinated. For too many people it's too hard to sign up, show up. People who work all day or care for families. We need to set up 24/7 clinics with no appointment needed for hard to reach communities

President Biden will announce tonight he's directing states to make vaccines available to all adults by May 1. There will also be a federal website by then. His goal is to bring the country “closer to normal” by July 4. Per administration officials.

50 Democratic senators who voted for covid relief represent 41 million more Americans than 49 GOP senators who voted against it

Hard to overstate the impact of those two Georgia runoffs right now.

THIS JUST IN: New IG report shows Elaine Chao apparently violated federal ethics rules in multiple ways, including directing official staffers to do personal tasks. Please read, RT, and share.

DoD official says Sec Def approved request to move Nat Guard at 4:32p. Gen Walker was not told until 5:08p. On what planet does it take that long to convey approval when people’s lives are literally in the line? So far, no answer.

Breaking: Joint FBI/ DHS intel bulletin warns some domestic violent extremists have "discussed plans to take control of the U.S. Capitol and remove democratic lawmakers on or about 4 March."

Gen. Walker tells @RoyBlunt that if not for restrictions placed on him by DOD on Jan 6th, he would have ordered Guard units to the Capitol IMMEDIATELY after getting the call from Chief Sund. No delay. Go to the Hill and report to senior-most USCP officer you can find.

DC National Guard Commander tells Klobuchar that back up during the insurrection requested at 2:22 was held up for hours awaiting approval of Secs of the Army and Defense - both Trump appointees. He says needing this layer of approval was also atypical. This is extraordinary!

The Costco CEO just said at the Senate Budget hearing they'd be upping the minimum wage at Costco to $16/hr next week "Effective next week, the starting wage will go to $16."

NEW w/ @RMac18: Mark Zuckerberg intervened to reduce penalties for Alex Jones and Infowars. His decision weakened FB's policies and prevented it from acting earlier against right wing groups like the Oath Keepers that stormed the Capitol, sources say:

ERCOT officials just said the Texas power grid was seconds or minutes — not hours — away from catastrophic failure if rolling outages had not been imposed starting Sunday night
