“A credit score is supposed to measure the likelihood of being 90 days late over a 2-year payment period. Do you think that the current scoring algorithms & structures are being designed with that specific metric in mind?”
Jennifer Brown, @UnidosUS: “Absolutely not."
Great white shark entire genome now decoded, with the huge genome revealing sequence adaptations to key wound healing and genome stability genes tied to cancer protection, that could be behind the evolutionary success of long-lived sharks. https://t.co/ufXcL8D1UY
Researchers have identified a drinkable cocktail of designer molecules that interferes with a crucial first step of Alzheimer’s, & even restores memories in mice. The next step is to verify the compounds aren’t toxic for clinical trials on humans. https://t.co/tKk25pVQtQ
Happy #Festivus, PA. This year, I'm honoring everyone's favorite Festivus tradition by sharing some of the grievances Pennsylvanians have aired with me on Twitter. Enjoy.
Because of Trump’s temper tantrum, Americans will not be getting paid during the holidays. His irresponsible and reckless actions demonstrate he has no regard for hard-working families. #TrumpShutdown
No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to https://t.co/ob1Ynoesod today and pass this on — you just might save a life.
Whoah - looks like our Congressional orientation had a lot more lobbyists than we thought.
This is not okay. Lobbyists are not impartial - they are employed to influence legislation.
60+ incoming members were listening to panelists without knowing which were hired lobbyists.
If you look only at the corruption & immorality, you miss this:
Trump’s policy problems are almost entirely of his creation— trade, health care, the stock market, our deficit.
Contrast with Obama inheriting massive recession, 2 wars, a large deficit & sky high uninsured rate.
Our “bipartisan” Congressional orientation is cohosted by a corporate lobbyist group. Other members have quietly expressed to me their concern that this wasn’t told to us in advance.
Lobbyists are here. Goldman Sachs is here. Where‘s labor? Activists?Frontline community leaders?
BREAKING: ACA enrollment down 10% so far with Trump marketing budget down 90%.
The good news: Most can get covered for $75/month no matter pre-existing conditions.
The problem: almost no one knows that after Dec 15 it will be too late to get covered.

Another story to watch: Pennsylvania Republicans are threatening to deny a senate seat to the Democrat who won it, because they're not satisfied with her evidence that she moved to the state four years before the election. https://t.co/GwFu1sfLDg
I’m filing formal legal comments against @BetsyDeVosED awful #TitleIX rules that make it harder for victims to share their truth and predators to be held accountable.
Thank you @Alyssa_Milano for explaining what’s at stake in your own special way!
Each member of Congress gets around $1.2 million (give or take a bit) for their entire operating budget. That’s supposed to cover all salaries (DC and district), rents for district offices, travel home, tech devices, services, contracts, etc.
Members decide how it’s all spent.
Unlike robber barons, I have no problem paying taxes & contributing to society. I’m a 1st gen kid that @ 29 w no kids will make more than my parents did.
I SHOULD pay more if it means giving the waitress-me a break. I’m GLAD my taxed income can mean better Bronx public schools.
