Just witnessed an alarming scene with @mjcontrera outside the US Capitol. A group of TV reporters were swarmed and chased away from their cameras, which a mob of President Trump’s supporters trashed. Here’s the aftermath:

No joke - we had a patient swallow Lysol as a #disinfectant a couple of weeks ago to prevent COVID19 infection. He made it out of the hospital after his gastrectomy... This kind of nonsense is absolutely mind blowing.

Very sad to hear that Yannis Behrakis, the multi-award-winning photojournalist who led the @reuterspictures team that won a Pulitzer for its coverage of the Greek refugee crisis, has died.

Just heard that Myanmar’s Supreme Court will hear arguments in the appeal of Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo on March 26. Hoping that it will reverse the errors of the lower courts and bring justice for these brave young reporters and set them free. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo

NYC had its snowiest November day in 136 years with 6 inches. It's also the earliest one-day measurement of 6" on record. #Avery

1 hour now stuck on a bridge outside Newark on @NJTRANSIT with no air. Two sick passengers. Fights. Cops have now had to walk the bridge to come on and make arrests and when they opened the door to let them on, people jumped off and started running for the platform. Insanity.
Replying to @NJTRANSIT
@NJTRANSIT @GovMurphy Still stuck on train. Note standing people and steamed windows. Huge safety concerns - someone now trying to leave train onto tracks.

@NJTRANSIT Train 6279 is still stuck with no relief in sight. Cars are over 100 degrees with no ventilation whatsoever. Please do something. People here are passing out from exhaustion.

Things going downhill. A few passengers becoming unruly. Train personnel threatening to call the police. AS IF A STUCK TRAIN WITH DEPLETED OXYGEN LEVELS DOESN’T MERIT A CALL TO THE POLICE OR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. .@NJTransit
