President Biden will hold a candle-lighting ceremony at the White House to mark the US passing the grim milestone of 500,000 Covid-19 deaths. Follow live updates:

McConnell makes case for bipartisan Covid relief as US approaches nearly 500,000 virus deathsSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell returns to the chamber as the Senate voted to consider hearing from witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, at the Capitol in Washington on Saturday, February 13.

He said the US economy is now"chomping at the bit to rebuild the prosperity we lost last year," and credited the bipartisan Covid relief legislation passed last year in Congress for getting the country to this pivotal moment, while slamming the relief package the Democrats are preparing to pass through without Republican support as not meeting the needs of the moment.

The Kentucky Republican said"the partisan legislation Democrats are preparing to ram through looks like something you'd pass to blunt another year of shutdown," accusing Democrats of being"stuck back in April 2020" with their approach.

Did Joe Biden drop the N-word at the Munich Security Conference today?

Hello empathy. You've been missed over the last 4 years

J'b. God bless you, Mr. President.

Joe I listen to you tonight . It touched my heart. Nice to see your kindness and love to all Americans. God bless you !

It’s fitting that Biden reminds us both of all the lives lost, and that it’s entirely possible (and even normal) to have a president capable of expressing human emotion.

How come no candle light ceremony for Americans who died from the flu, pneumonia, cancer, aids or traffic accidents

All lies

What a refreshing change to have a president who has the ability to empathize and genuinely care about others. He has had his fair share of grief, to be used as a testimony, so that others can find some degree of comfort. His advice is to turn pain into purpose, as he has done.

Eulogy and feelings are fine but I want to know what our administration is actually doing about COVID. What action or just carrying out Trumps plan and successes?

Anyone who cannot donate can you please retweet this. Please!

How many of those 500k didn’t really die from Covid? 🤔

Lighting candles - why not have a Mass Father Ted?

Thank you Sir!

Wb $2000 and universal healthcare tho ?

Must you taint such a precious moment by comparing the president to his predecessor? You are no better than him. Maybe you are all about ratings now. What a disappointment.

500k Americans dead is Trump's legacy. This is the aftermath of Trump's incompetent.

I hope ppl like MeghanMcCain understand this pain from other people’s perspectives n allow the experts 2do their job. If Dr Fauci was allowed 2do his job properly by the orange man, this would’ve hv happened. Don't put ur👃where it's not wanted gal. Keep Dr Fauci outta ur mouth.
