Breaking news out of D.C. where we’re seeing a report that two more House Dems who fled the state to avoid voting on a new voting law have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total now to five.
“Members who tested positive are feeling good, with no symptoms or only mild symptoms”:

It’s a victory for everyone!
So pretty much everyone can be point at this and scream “SEE?”
1. Anti-vaccine folks seeing the breakthrough
2. Republicans who are pointing out all the photo ops with no masks
3. Liberals who are still insistent that the virus is around even harder and we need more restrictions https://t.co/QD8OTuUvzP— Joe Cunningham (@JoePCunningham) July 19, 2021
And maybe the CDC should really study this outbreak because it does seem odd:
Sure seems odd for such a small caucus to have so many breakthrough cases, doesn’t it? https://t.co/j2gmqJPYDF
