- Six weeks ago, 14% of people over 75 in the US had gotten one COVID vaccine shot. Today, that number stands at nearly 60%.
- What a day. What a day. Thanks to every planner, staffer, volunteer, participant — and viewer — who made this renewal of our democracy possible. So so much work to be done — so much. But a great start.
- Nine weeks ago, 8% of people over 65 had gotten their first COVID shot. (People over 65 account for 80% of COVID deaths.) Today, that number is over 70%. In nine weeks.
- Fauci to @maddow: "I've been wanting to come on your show for months and months. You've been asking me to come on your show for months and months... It just got blocked, because they didn't like the way you handled things." He says things are better now.
- Hi @amyklobuchar: Quick tweet to say we're working at the WH today on next steps in the COVID response, making sure we're ready for the winter storm, and advancing the American Rescue Package. Enjoy your toast.Woke up on a Saturday and didn’t have to respond to a mean tweet from the White House. Feels weird but good. I’m going to make some toast instead.
- The Governors of WI, MI, and PA will all be Democrats.
- 100 million shots in arms and 100 million checks in pockets, completed before the end of the next 10 days.
- Thanks to Georgia voters, the United States Senate just passed the most generous economic relief package for working and middle class families in American history.
- Exciting news day today: - Major retailers: our shelves ARE well stocked - Govt stats: it WAS a jobs boom, not bust, in summer - Rating agencies: BBB bill will NOT add to inflation - COVD Team: 10% of 5-11 vaxed in 10 days (5x faster than adult vax roll out)
- I try not to engage in too much media criticism on here, but... Today the US hit the LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN 50 YEARS. How much cable coverage would there be if the US was at the HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN 50 YEARS?
