PEN America On 
Great double header on #thePENpod tomorrow. First, PEN/Hemingway award winner Ruchika Tomar on the inequality of the pandemic; and then our weekly "tough questions" segment with @SuzanneNossel! Please tune in and subscribe: http://anchor.fm/penamerica
UPDATE: The WH has backtracked. Our CEO @SuzanneNossel says now the @VP should affirm that all government scientists can speak openly to the public without regard to politics.
