These Republicans are looking to prove something that doesn’t exist: widespread election fraud. Their push is fueled by conspiracy theories and a president who has raised money pushings narratives that are not based in facts. Those are the facts. apnews.com/article/barr-n…

Reps for Puerto Rico’s governor elect @pedropierluisi were warned: the governors inauguration scheduled for Saturday, with 400+ ppl, was a high risk activity not recommended by CDC or the scientific coalition Pierluisi commissioned. That’s according to a member of the coalition.
I’m told that concerns were expressed in detail, and candidly, and that the governors representatives listened to the members of the scientific coalition, for more than two hours. Ultimately, the went against the recommendations of the group.
The CDC has said for many months: large gatherings are not recommended during the pandemic.
Pierluisi’s team is requiring that guests wear masks & that each guest show proof of a negative Covid test. Test results must be emailed by 5pm local time on Friday
