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.

Johnson & Johnson WILL meet its goal of 20 million vaccines in March. Around 11 million will go out

Big — and surprising — news: Biden’s 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.

Chuck Schumer
@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.

"Every last one of your names will go on a ballot," he noted. "Enjoy your time in office. Because you will see the power of the vote come back like a hammer. Like a hammer, for the action you have taken and the bill that was signed into law today."

Hey everyone, thank you for your support. I’ve been released from jail. I am not the first Georgian to be arrested for fighting voter suppression. I’d love to say I’m the last, but we know that isn’t true. #SB202

Representative Park Cannon
@Cannonfor58
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

Rep. @Cannonfor58 is arrested and lead out of the Georgia State Capitol building by GA State Troopers after being asked to stop knocking on a door that lead to Gov. Brian Kemp's office, while Gov. Kemp was signing #SB202 behind closed doors in #Atlanta #gapol











Representative Park Cannon
@Cannonfor58
As you know by now, earlier today I was arrested outside Gov. Kemp’s office door as he signed #SB202

This is wild. Georgia Rep. Park Cannon was detained by police for knocking on Gov. Brian Kemp’s door.

Replying to @Cannonfor58
#SB202 restricts many methods of voting. These restrictions serve no purpose other than to keep voters from exercising their constitutional right to vote.

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.

GOP voter suppression bill #sb202 passes Georgia Senate 34-20 & goes to Gov Kemp, who will sign

After they failed to steal last election, GOP trying to steal next one

@marceelias & others have already vowed to sue

Representative Park Cannon
@Cannonfor58
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.

Representative Park Cannon
@Cannonfor58
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.

Governor Brian P. Kemp
@GovKemp
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.
