Just In…
The Democrat woke up on Saturday with a “raspy voice,” and, out of an “abundance of caution,” he took a PCR test that came back positive , according to a statement from his team . “At this time, the mayor has no other symptoms,” the statement said, “but he is already isolating and will be canceling all public events for the remainder of the week.”
Several politicians have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last week. Positive tests within Washington, D.C., appear to have originated with the Gridiron Dinner, an event on April 2 where hundreds of D.C. journalists, lawmakers, and employees met for dinner. An estimated 67 COVID-19 cases had been reported among the event’s attendees as of Saturday.
Reps. Adam Schiff and Joaquin Castro both announced on Tuesday they had contracted the coronavirus after appearing at the dinner. Reps. Katherine Clark and Scott Peters announced they, too, had tested positive, although they had not attended the dinner.
Attorney General Merrick Garland and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo also reported testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday.
GOP Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock both reported testing positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reported testing positive on Thursday, a day after attending an event alongside President Joe Biden. The White House said Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on Friday.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
