Mary Bruce asked how it feels to be the first Black woman in 30 years to brief from that podium. She says it's an honor but it's bigger than just her, it's about truth and transparency

No, they can't pay for infrastructure out of Covid relief funds. That was already floated and noped.

I'm assuming it's part of this: Bezos also owns The Washington Post. Staff writers, if you're listening, knock on the boss's door for those tapes.

She's insistent that the IC doing its thing has nothing to do with WHO doing its own. Which is fair. But as has been pointed out, Jen was unflinching in saying it was for WHO to conduct the investigation and it wouldn't be OK for us to sort of step on their toes

The real reason for the new statement to the IC is 95% probably the fact that Democrats were turning on the "let WHO handle it" posture

A major newspaper (and Olympic partner) in Japan has advised that the Tokyo Olympics not proceed, and State has advised Americans not to travel there but we are still planning on sending our athletes

Yamiche Alcindor just said that 80% of the new covid cases in DC are in the Black community. Yeah they have a lot of work to do on vaccines still.

But as has been pointed out, Jen was unflinching in saying it was for WHO to conduct the investigation and it wouldn't be OK for us to sort of step on their toes This whole thing is dumb. The IC was already looking into it - the IC is tasked to look into everything big internationally. I’m not sure why they’d ever be like “Huge international question with global consequences? Nah, it’s not appropriate for our giant huge intelligence community to secretly collection information on this.” I’m guessing they didn’t want to fuel the China intentionally released it conspiracy, but yeah. It doesn’t make sense to keep punting it. I love to hate when administrations pull the “We’ve tasked the IC” card. Like when Trump announced he was going to task the IC to look super hard for al Qaida.The IC was like “...we already were, bro.”

Update on the San Jose shooting. Seems like the gunman set his house on fire, drove to work, and shot and killed 8 people. He worked for the transportation authority and it was a union meeting. This is my hometown (not where I live now) and I’m very sick with worry over it.
