If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

[Burhan Azeem, Cambridge Vice Mayor @realBurhanAzeem]

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.

We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style

Here’s the details 🧵

[Paul Tonko @RepPaulTonko]

Our researchers spur innovation and scientific discovery. But burnout, poor mentoring & mental illness burden far too many.

My latest bill addresses this issue, giving researchers the support they need while maintaining our nation’s scientific prowess.

“You can take what John says to the bank,” Amb. John Bolton says regarding the denials and new interviews from Gen. John Kelly. “If John says that Donald Trump said them, then I believe them implicitly.”

Kamala Harris and I are both gun owners.

We’re not going to take away your Second Amendment rights — we’re going to prevent your kids from getting shot at school.

[Jerusalem @JerusalemDemsas]

I understand why Harris isn't doing this but it's important to repeat:
- Immigrants commit crime at lower rates than native born Americans
- Immigrants do not reduce native-born wages
- Immigrants help the economy grow
- America is great as assimilating immigrants

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

I have worked for two Presidents, briefed two Presidents. We don’t want a President sitting in the Oval Office who wouldn’t demand exactly this. It’s literally your job to be prepared for it.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I hope I’m wrong but if we lose in November I think the main reason why will be the number of young men of all races that are no longer Democrats. There’s been a taboo about talking about this because we understandably are hesitant to make men a main point of conversation (given we have been for thousands of years) but we have a real problem to deal with. At this point with 60 days to go there isn’t much we can do to recover it other than turning out more young woman and trying to slow the departure of young men. I think a lot of this is caused by Covid and the epidemic of male loneliness in this country and the ensuing commodification through social media of misogyny. Long-term, we have a lot of work to do to provide positive examples of what actual masculinity looks like that is not defined by putting down women or other people, but by lifting others up and being a true leader.

1. On this Labor Day, a reminder that @FTC has issued a rule banning noncompetes.

Noncompetes trap millions of workers, blocking them from taking better jobs or starting their own business.

Over 25,000 Americans commented on our proposal. Here are some of their stories:

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Oh cut it out. Democrats didn’t make Trump commit business fraud, or steal & obstruct the retrieval of classified docs, or try to overthrow the 2020 election, or pressure Georgia to overturn their election results. TRUMP DID THOSE THINGS ALL BY HIMSELF. And Democrats didn’t nominate Trump. REPUBLICAN VOTERS DID. Respectfully Charlie, this is a bullshit tweet. Please hold Trump and Republican voters accountable for what THEY did.

Right now, Americans pay two to three times more for prescription drugs than they would anywhere else.

But the Biden-Harris Administration beat Big Pharma. And after months of negotiations, Medicare has reached agreements to lower the price for 10 of the highest-cost drugs.

[Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Huge, lifesaving news today — Medicare has successfully negotiated lower prices for 10 of the highest-cost drugs.

Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s hard work, Californians will be getting more much-needed financial relief.
