Health officials in Virginia have reported the first cases in the state of a highly contagious coronavirus variant that first emerged in California last summer.
The discovery of the two California variants, known as B.1.427 and B.1.429, in Virginia means there have been a total of four variants found in the state, including variants first discovered in South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Big and surprising news: Bidens team announces Johnson & Johnson WILL meet its goal of 20 million vaccines in March. Around 11 million will go out next week. This had been in doubt as of just a few days ago, given less than half the 20 million had gone out.

@SenSchumer
Last night, the Senate did three good things:
Prevented a 2% cut to Medicare
Extended PPP for small businesses
Set up a vote on the COVID Hate Crimes Bill to help #StopAsianHate
And there's so much more to do on voting rights, economy and climate, and gun safety.

Hey everyone, thank you for your support. Ive been released from jail. I am not the first Georgian to be arrested for fighting voter suppression. Id love to say Im the last, but we know that isnt true. #SB202

But someday soon that last person will step out of jail for the last time and breathe a first breath knowing that no one will be jailed again for fighting for the right to vote. #SB202

#SB202 restricts many methods of voting. These restrictions serve no purpose other than to keep voters from exercising their constitutional right to vote.
Representative Park Cannon

Who -- and what -- are they protecting when they work this hard to suppress our vote? #SB202
In November and January we refused to be controlled at the ballot box. #SB202 is a direct retaliation.

I am grateful that my pastor @ReverendWarnock & community held witness and prayed for me, my family & our state. Electing @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock to the Senate united Georgia in hope and gave us the courage to stand up against the hate we face.

And make no mistake, when I say hate, I mean white supremacy. The closed-door signing of #SB202 and the senseless murder of #AAPI Georgians are both products of a white supremacist system. Different tactics, same goal: fear and control.

We will not live in fear and we will not be controlled. We have a right to our future and a right to our freedom. We will come together and continue fighting white supremacy in all its forms.

I was proud to sign S.B. 202 to ensure elections in Georgia are secure, fair, and accessible. I appreciate the hard work of members of the General Assembly to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.
