The White House will reopen its program to mail Covid-19 tests at no cost to households that request them, per sources, confirming @politico report. This is the fourth such time, meaning any household can soon order more if it has already received three or fewer shipments.

Best piece I've read on the historic & unorthodox Amazon union drive in Staten Island--the first Amazon warehouse in the U.S. to be unionized.
