It’s a great day at Michigan Medicine, which received 1,950 doses of the Pfizer Inc./BioNTech vaccine at about 9 a.m. this morning. We plan to begin vaccinating our employees who are most at risk this week.

#BREAKING: In remarks from the White House, President Trump again falsely claimed victory in the 2020 election. He has not won. Votes continue to be counted.
Trump also made a series of baseless, false claims about allegations of voter fraud.

Stay calm everyone. Trump’s gonna produce evidence that he won Pennsylvania as soon as it’s no longer under IRS audit
Biden win = 1, Trump win = 0: Yet again we’re in a situation where we all wish we could observe the counterfactual #epitwitter #CountEveryVote
