@ms.now is driving me to CNN. I’m so tired of never knowing “who” is going to show up for their show. If you have a show with your name on it, one would think you’d try to keep your audience by showing up for work more days than not. Jen Psaki is the most reliable person to be there. Thanks Jen!

Yesterday I tested positive for COVID, after spending a couple of days thinking it was hay fever and then realizing it wasn't. Largely due to the expertise and decades of hard work by this man, I am at home, in decent shape and not going to end up dead or in the hospital. Thank you, Dr. Fauci.
