Sen. Collins tests positive for COVID-19

 

Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) announced on Thursday that she had tested positive for COVID-19, soon after she was on the Senate floor to vote for the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

 

“Senator Collins has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently experiencing mild symptoms. The Senator will isolate and work remotely in accordance with CDC guidelines,” her office said in a statement.

 

Collins was wearing a mask when she was on the floor, among just three Republicans who voted in favor of Jackson’s nomination.

 

Hers is the latest in a series of positive COVID-19 tests that have occurred on Capitol Hill.

 

Earlier Thursday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she also tested positive for the virus and would be isolating.

 

Pelosi was at the White House with President Biden on Wednesday as he signed the Postal Service reform bill, but the White House said Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on Wednesday night.

 

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) and Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) all tested positive for breakthrough cases of the virus on Wednesday.

 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden was not a close contact of Pelosi’s, per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

“The way a close contact is defined, it’s not arbitrary, it’s not something made up by the White House, its CDC guidelines and how they define it is being within six feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes over a 24-hour period. They were not,” Psaki said Thursday, when asked about Biden’s interactions with Pelosi.

 

“All of their interactions were publicly available, I think you saw them, and that’s how that assessment is made.”

Putin Calls Elon Musk a “Trojan Horse”

 

Conservative pundits on Monday let out a thunderous cheer when billionaire Elon Musk, who claims to oppose Big Tech censorship, bought 10% of Twitter’s public shares, earning him a coveted seat on the controversial social media platform’s board of directors.

 

They claim Musk’s acquisition is a precursor to the reinstatement of President Trump’s Twitter account, which former CEO and Deep State stooge Jack Dorsey permanently banned on Jan 9, 2021. Dorsey and Twitter’s liberal leadership spun a web of lies, saying Donald J. Trump “incited violence” and encouraged his supporters to overthrow the Capitol and lynch former VP Michael Pence.

 

Musk, who has described himself as “half Democrat, half Republican,” has yet to make a public statement on whether he’ll advocate on Trump’s behalf, but he has been inundated with Tweets, emails, and telephone calls urging him to expedite Trump’s return to Twitter.

 

At least one powerful world figurehead, however, has cautioned Trump against accepting help from a “wolf dressed like a sheep,” and that person is none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom President Trump has had frequent contact since the Ukraine crisis began.

 

A Mar-a-Lago source in daily contact with President Trump and who has been privy to the Trump-Putin conversations told Real Raw News on Tuesday that Putin has tacitly discouraged Trump from forming a liaison with the SpaceX CEO.

 

“In short, Putin called Musk a man of questionable morals with unclear allegiances who appears to be playing both sides of the fence. Putin said Musk’s a ‘Trojan Horse’ looking to entrap Trump. Part of this is because Musk has openly supported Volodymyr Zelenskyy even after being informed about his ties to the Biden family, bioweapon labs, and child trafficking rings that were operating in almost plain sight across Ukraine,” our source said.

 

Putin said he has unassailable facts proving that Musk, under the guise of a benevolent humanitarian, clandestinely gave Zelenskyy military hardware that impeded his “Special Military Operation” and caused the needless deaths of many valiant Russian soldiers. In mid-March, Musk’s SpaceX donated to Ukraine planeloads of Starlink satellite internet kits, ostensibly so civilians in that region would not lose internet access if Vladimir Putin disrupted Ukrtelecom, Ukraine’s primary ISP. According to Putin, SpaceX bundled into those shipments sophisticated communications jamming equipment, which was broadly distributed to both the Ukrainian military and foreign paramilitary that answered Zelenskyy’s “call to arms.”

 

“President Trump, when we learned of this deception and found the equipment in the field, we sent Elon Musk the same proof we gave you about these filth pedophiles and bioweapon plants all across Ukraine. And what he do? He challenges me to a fistfight. It’s funny, but I would crush him,” Putin told Trump.

 

Putin’s comment referred to a March 16 Tweet by Musk:

 

Furthermore, Putin said engineers at Russia’s Almaz-Antey defense corporation had dissected the captured electronics and determined that the circuitry was proprietary technology belonging to SpaceX.

 

“It seems they build more than satellites and rocket ships,” Putin said to Trump.

 

Putin went on to say that the devices had hindered but not stopped his mission to rid Ukraine of pedophiles and foreign biolabs. He claimed, however, that Musk’s “illicit weaponry” had disrupted drone and UAV strikes against a bioweapon laboratory near the Ukrainian city of Uman. “Terrorists” armed with Musk’s gear had captured a drone’s frequency and caused it to detonate amid a convoy of Russian vehicles, resulting in the deaths of 23 Russian soldiers.

 

“Trump didn’t speak much during the conversation, but he listened intently and said he’d weigh the information carefully. Putin’s last words were that were it not for Musk’s interference, all Russian troops might’ve been out of Ukraine by now,” our source said.
