Today a story has been going around about a cluster of B.1.617 cases in Israel. This is the India-associated strain.

On January 6th, pro-Trump rioters chanted "hang Mike Pence" after he certified the election results. Now Pence is ignoring insurrection and praising Trump again.

Pence may be ready to move on, but we're not. We need an insurrection commission.https://t.co/XlJGJoxZqI
