Yesterday, the New York Times revealed it has this book where a conservative journalist wrote mean things about Hillary Clinton and all the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. When asked about the allegations in New Hampshire on Monday, Clinton said we’re “subjected to all kinds of distractions and attacks” during campaign season, and she’s “ready for that.” “It is worth noting, I think, that Republicans seem to be talking only about me,” Clinton noted. “I don’t know what they’d talk about if I weren’t in the race, but I am in the race and hopefully we’ll get onto the issues, and I look forward to that.” Now get in, losers, we’re going campaigning.

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has COVID-19

On Wednesday evening, @FirstLadyVA and I were notified that a member of our official residence staff had developed symptoms and tested positive for #COVID19. We both received PCR nasal swab tests yesterday and both tested positive.

Pam is experiencing mild symptoms, and I am asymptomatic. Per @VDHgov guidelines, we will isolate at home for 10 days and then reevaluate our symptoms. I am in constant contact with my cabinet and staff, and will continue working from the Executive Mansion.

As I have been reminding Virginians throughout this crisis, #COVID19 is very real and very contagious. We are grateful for your thoughts and support, but the best thing you can do for us—and most importantly, for your fellow Virginians—is to take this virus seriously.

It’s unclear if today’s attack is linked to the Charlie Hebdo terrorism trial, which is currently underway

At least two people were wounded in a knife attack Friday near the former offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, police said Friday. A suspect has been arrested.

A Paris police official said that while authorities initially thought two attackers were involved, they now believe it was only one person, who was detained near the Bastille plaza in eastern Paris, a city police official said. The official said police are still searching the area while they question the arrested suspect.
