Of course the news is all coronavirus all the time, but here's something no one expected: A brilliant new Dylan song, about the assassination of John F. Kennedy:
Bob Dylan has released his first track in eight years -- a 17-minute song about the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. https://t.co/oHmojhLxBW

If you had Bob Dylan releasing a graphic 17-minute track about the Kennedy assassination tonight in the office pool, congratulations you win two trillion dollars.

As a former health insurance exec, I don’t think any story better illustrates my old industry’s racket than the one I’m about to tell you: Right now, as we enter the worst public health crisis of our lifetimes (#COVID19), health insurers are still raking in record profits. (1/11)

Solid point. Why did Rs & Mnuchin insist the biggest companies, who already scarfed down $1 trillion in tax cuts and often pay no taxes at all, including some who moved their headquarters overseas to avoid taxes and minimum wage rules, get a sweeter bailout than small businesses? https://t.co/HMHE3dFrHd

As we know Trump has said they are taking steps to “open up” the country.
If people did, the reason will be because of the number one risk factor: age? No. Pre-existing illness? No.
Number one risk factor right now is no access to an ICU bed or ventilator. /17— Andy Slavitt @ 🏡 (@ASlavitt) March 25, 2020

All of the doctors and nurses I know are so scared right now. I think it’s important for ppl to understand that. They are heroes, and they are also people scared for their lives bc they don’t have the equipment they need. It’s not enough to clap for them, we have to protect them.
