Bob Ney

Bob Ney: The Ohio primary has been called off. Rick: The Democrats would have to sue if they want their primary? Bob: Yes. I think Biden's campaign made an official stmt but I haven't seen one from Bernie's.

Propane Jane

Propane Jane: Our emergency rooms got so backed out there was a 72-hour wait; patients were literally on death's door before they could see a doctor.

Pedro da Costa

Pedro da Costa: If it were a normal week, & Trump announced he was restricting travel to Europe, it would cause a recession. We're three months or more behind China in reacting to coronavirus, so it'll probably be worse here.

@pdacosta

Fred Kowal

Fred Kowal: Our union has faculty in the classrooms as well as professionals who run the residence halls, & we also represent workers in teaching hospitals so they're on the front line.

Kelly Sennholz

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: I believe that we're talking abt hour by hour. Every hour we allow this to go on without doing anything to stop the transition will result in more disease & more death. It's unconscionable that we've waited 2 mos

Sarah Burris

Sarah Burris: I feel like my paranoia has finally paid off--all those rolls of TP I've stockpiled for the last several months, all the pantry items I've stored--it's now paying off.

@RawStory

Nat Sowinski

Nat Sowinski: We need this urgently, now, not hung up in committee. We need for workers to be able to take time off, if need be, and without worrying about pay.

Jessica Goodheart

Jessica Goodheart: Electability is the big concern of this election. In 2016, 11% of voters said having a candidate who could win was important to them, and this year 56% of voters say electability is important.

Jeff Bryant

Jeff Bryant: Here in NC, charter schools set up as "non-profit" while they have a for-profit subsidiary that owns the bldg & leases it to charter, even though the public school system paid for it. Public school would have to buy it back if they want it

Mark Votruba

Mark Votruba: People sometimes lose the sense of identity they had with their jobs. Being respectful of that is necessary.

Robert S. Weiner

Robert S. Weiner: I think the GOP will do a Benghazi on Hunter Biden. Biden will fight back, and he'll fight back hard. #RickShow

Keith Pochick: Reinforcing good hygienic practices that maybe we've gotten away from is a good idea;keeping a social distance from folks via foot shakes,elbow bumps is good;avoiding touching our faces goes a long way towards preventing spread

Propane Jane

Propane Jane: The GOP possibly passed around the coronavirus at CPAC, which is especially ironic since they considered the virus to be a hoax.

Bob Ney

Bob Ney: I'm a hawk on this trade stuff; the trade war had to happen; we have to make China change. We've become so dependent on China, even for parts. I say, Go after China.

@BobNey

Phil Glover

Phil Glover: I go back to Reagan, & I don't ever remember anyone before Trump required a loyalty oath.

Kenneth M. Mash

Kenneth M. Mash: There's a retirement incentive to try to get 200 faculty members to retire. It denies the ability for students to be taught be knowledgeable, experienced faculty.
