Feels like the Royal family are really sweating over this Harry and Meghan interview
— Toby Tarrant (@tobytarrant) March 4, 2021
Apart from Prince Andrew of course
Because we’re British, we are gaslit from birth that sheer notion of a royal family isn’t INSANE. Meghan, a woman from the 21st century, is rightly like “wtf, no, obviously not” and that’s why they have to smear her. She highlights the crown’s irrelevance.
— Juno Dawson (@junodawson) March 6, 2021
What amazes me is that for decades, it’s been universally understood that the public harassment from the media and royal family were ultimately what led to Diana’s tragic death, yet somehow it’s a big scandal that the son she left behind wouldn’t want them anywhere near his wife.

These four royal experts are people you see on television all the time talking about the royal family and they were willing to pre-record an interview about an interview they had never seen.

I've never had much time for Nigel Farage but quitting British politics just as decades of his promises about how brilliant Brexit would be can finally be judged is an act of uncommon integrity & selflessness. Just imagine all the boasting a less principled man would be doing.

SENATE PASSES COVID RELIEF BILL, WITHOUT REPUBLICANS
It’s telling that the last two Democratic Presidents began their presidencies with a “Recovery Act” and a “Rescue Plan” because their inheritances were so catastrophic.
— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) March 6, 2021
An exhausted Senate narrowly approved a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill as President Biden and his Democratic allies notched a victory they called crucial for hoisting the country out of the pandemic and economic doldrums. The vote was 50-49. https://t.co/nObp8UxGZD

President Biden hailed the Senate's passage of his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, saying that the American Rescue Plan ‘is going to make a big difference in so many lives in this country’ and would supercharge the end of the pandemic https://t.co/8g9uOO5Nnp pic.twitter.com/fOAn6a1VaN

— Secretary Janet Yellen (@JanetYellen) March 6, 2021
With the economy down 9.5 million jobs since February 2020, it could be 2 years before the labor market simply reaches its pre-pandemic level. These high rates of job loss threaten the wellbeing of workers & their families.
I really prefer President Biden and Democrats' COVID relief package to the Republican package (which consists of nothing but a middle finger.)

There will be a lot of harrumphing in Washington about the partisan nature of the senate vote on the COVID-19 package, despite its broad support national support.

But outside of Washington, the @POTUS will be applauded for getting it done—and the good it will do!

The House will vote TUESDAY on the Senate-passed Covid relief bill, per @LeaderHoyer. If it passes (and it is expected to) then it goes to @JoeBiden for his signature and $1.9 trillion can begin to go out the door.https://t.co/5SJCOV2rt1

I know the left's kind of into glasses being half-empty–but, hey! Biden, with a 50-50 Senate and 221-211 House, is going to sign the biggest government spending bill since…when?–LBJ?–FDR?. And lots of it goes to lower income families and the public sector. Lefties: Cheer up!

Gratitude for all the vaccinators, volunteers, doctors, pharmacists, couriers, manufacturers, civil servants, and soldiers who are working together on this effort.
There is no defensible argument for stopping a mask mandate when we still have very high levels of Covid spread and risk of variants spreading. Masks work. Mask mandates work. Variants are a real risk.
