Dr. Fauci explains that a PCR test can tell you if you're infected but can't tell you whether you're transmissible. "The only way you can tell if it's transmissible is if you can show that there' really is live replication virus in you. And the tests don't measure that."
"We're trying to prevent people from getting sick." Dr. Fauci notes that even though case numbers can be a useful predictor, when illness from the virus is less severe (as appears to be the case with Omicron), hospitalizations becomes a more important metric than infections.
Dr. Fauci draws a distinction between being hospitalized "with Covid" versus "because of Covid" in understanding what appears to be an elevated number of infected children hospitalizations. In short: some are testing positive while in the hospital for something else.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse on questions about whether someone else was behind Jeffrey Clark, former acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Division, advocating for Trump's Big Lie:

"It's a little hard to imagine that he cooked this up on his own."

@SenWhitehouse
"They would have these contentious conversations with him and then come back wondering who was helping him in these efforts and where are these legal theories coming from?" NYT's Katie Benner on the sense from interview transcripts that Jeff Clark was not acting independently.
"He's the central person in this saga and at some point... in the committee... before a grand jury... someplace, his testimony is going to be obtained." -Senator Whitehouse is limited in what he can say about the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing from Jeffrey Clark.

"The reality of it is, Texas is being run from Mar-a-Lago. And that is dangerous. And it's not appropriate." - Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX
"The state just passed legislation that creates this veil of criminality around the election. Basically it sets traps so that innocent mistakes that routinely happen and routinely are dealt with ... are pegged as purposeful fraud and prosecuted as such." - Judge Lina Hidalgo
"There's something more sinister there, and more concerning, which is that this tears down trust in the election systems. and in doing that it conveniently sets Republicans up to question the results of elections they don't like." - Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX

“...Within the next five to seven to 10 days, I think we’re going to see failure of the hospital system in Mississippi,”
- Dr. Alan Jones, UMMC Associate Vice Chancellor for Clinical Affairs
"If there was a bus wreck of kids, we would not be able to take care of all of those kids at this hospital. We are in a pretty serious situation."
This is not what they're warning might happen, this is today. This is what's happening right now.

The state of Mississippi is in trouble.

"In the administration's discussions on the issue, some officials at the [DHS] and the State Department have voiced misgivings about evacuating Afghan partners to Guam or other U.S. territory where their visa applications would be reviewed..."
nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
"If an Afghan's visa request were denied on U.S. territory, legal experts said, the applicant would have recourse to appeal the decision under American immigration law, possibly opening up a legal process that could take months to resolve."
"In a third country, the Afghan applicant would have virtually no grounds to appeal the rejection of a U.S. visa request or deportation back to Afghanistan, as the applicant would be subject to the third country's laws, the experts said."

The tax dodge scheme described in today's Weisselberg indictment as benefitting "Trump Organization executives, including but not limited to Weisselberg" is just like the scheme described in NYTimes reporting about payments made to Ivanka Trump.
Here is that New York Times reporting from last fall: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"We, in our reporting, suspected, and we reported about, was that this was an attempt by Donald Trump to reduce his taxable income and to transfer money to his kids." -Susanne Craig, NYTimes investigative reporter @susannecraig
