I obsess about politics, pay attention to public health, and work in tech.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, after many months of intensive diplomacy by the United States, along with Egypt and Qatar, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire and hostage deal.

My diplomacy never ceased in their efforts to get this done – I will speak more about this soon.

@benwikler It would be really nice if any of the messages the Democrat party sent me (email and text) were for the purpose of informing and inspiring me instead of fundraising. Not to mention the dark patterns in 80% of the fundraising.

@jayparsons There was a study in Sweden showing new high end housing only took 9 months to domino effect down to affordable housing.

1/ Let’s set the record straight on the Laken Riley Act, because I’m hearing a lot of people who say they support this bill, but who don't seem to know what it really does.

[NC Democratic Party @NCDemParty]

🚨 All eyes are on North Carolina right now.

Jefferson Griffin is still trying to throw out your ballot and now we'll see if all 5 republicans on the state Supreme Court will go along with his last ditch attempt to name him the winner even though he lost TWO recounts that showed Justice Allison Riggs beat him by 734 votes.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

The crisis of democracy didn't end with Trump's victory—it got worse. When North Carolina's state Supreme Court is blocking certification of a state Supreme Court election, the house is on fire.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

What? We don't have to treat conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. with kid gloves.

It's simple. He's spent his career fighting school vaccine programs. If they atrophy, kids will get killed.

1/ Let me tell you why we need to be shouting this from the rooftops.

[Tom Malinowski @Malinowski]

In my last campaign, I knocked the door of a retired firefighter. He said he rarely voted for Democrats, but we had a long, good talk.

His #1 issue was that he was paying $5K a year for a single prescription drug.

And he understandably doubted I could do anything about it. 1/

Starting TODAY, a key provision of the Inflation Reduction Act goes into effect: Limiting annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000 for Medicare beneficiaries.

19 million people are expected to save an average of $400 each.

@kosh516 @powerbottomdad1 As someone who TA'd for beginning programming classes for 5 years (at a hard to get into school), there are people who will never be able to think that way. Lots can with some work but don't like it. But even some smart folks are smart in different ways than required for it.

[Public Health - Seattle & King County @KCPubHealth]

As bird flu cases continue to rise, producers who work with poultry, cows, and other animals can request disposable gloves, face masks, and goggles to be shipped to them at no cost by the Washington State Department of Agriculture: https://t.co/sjYBLOIKOs

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Key findings from the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation into the Supreme Court's 'ethical crisis':

• Scalia accepted lavish gifts from billionaires and others with business before the Court for more than a decade, in violation of federal law, including 258 personal trips, dozens of which were never disclosed.

@Etus2K @wsdot_traffic @seattledot @SDOTtraffic Thx for the update. I'm level with the stadium now and ugh, so knowing what's going on helps.

[pheli @opheligarcia]

I was laid off one day before I was scheduled to interview @SecretaryPete about his final months in office—fortunately he honored the interview anyways. I was able to place it at T+L, so you can read it! We started the call bonding over unemployment https://t.co/T04qGC1mUN

[Stacey Doerr @StaceyACD]

@alexandra4mt It's hard to distinguish between things that changed minds vs. things that people who were always going to vote R use to justify their votes. If you're listening to 24hr Fox/OANN/Newsmax, these are things you will believe, but which of those broke through to normies and why?

[Washington Democrats @washdems]

Starting next month, those on Medicare will see their out-of-pocket prescription drug costs capped at $2,000 per year, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act - passed solely by Democrats while every Republican voted against it.

[Stacey Doerr @StaceyACD]

@TrueFactsStated The hard cold truth is that the Constitution is only as strong as its defenders make. If too many people are willing to look the other way, or treat it as a minor norms violation, well, that's how democracies fall.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Trump has not APPOINTED anyone.

He has NOMINATED them.

Presidents do not have the power to appoint cabinet officials or judges — only to nominate them and send them to the Senate for confirmation or rejection.

The words MATTER. Don’t give Trump power he doesn’t have.

[Stacey Doerr @StaceyACD]

@benwikler May I suggest "Trump and the Republicans". They are supporting his crazy, and they will be around much longer. He is the current danger, but allowing the Republicans to keep their brand untainted is both wrong and bad politics.

"What's happening with this mystery illness in the Congo"

I've gotten this text dozens of times in the past few days.

Here's what we know. What we don't.

And what really matters 🧵
