This is not really how we #PublicHealth folks wanted to enter the issue debate this election, but #VaccinesWork - any “leader” who says otherwise isn’t telling the full truth
@elonmusk, I can understand how difficult it is to learn about all the ways we keep elections secure in America, and how it might take you out of your comfort zone, but once again, if you'd ever like to discuss it and present your points, I'm open to discussing.
As I said in this clip, which I hope you watched, "It's easy if you don't understand our election system at all to invent conspiracy theories about it. It's hard to invest your time in learning about it, it's hard to understand all of the checks and balances, and redundancies, and transparencies in our processes, that make large scale voter fraud effectively impossible..."
NEW: Noncitizen voting is not a real problem in American elections - but Republicans across the country are filing election lawsuits this month aimed at making people believe it is… and potentially laying the groundwork for post election challenges

We are pleased to announce the winners of the state’s first-ever “I Voted” sticker contest.
The nine winning designs will be available for clerks to order and give out to voters this fall for the Nov. 5 General Election.

Despite disinfo circulating widely, when the Dems pick an official nominee next month, that person will be on the ballot in all 50 states and DC, without question. The Dems had not officially picked a nominee yet, so there is nominee to replace yet.

We are very concerned about the proposed House budget's total elimination of CDC’s Injury Center, including its Opioid Overdose Prevention and Surveillance program, one of few federal resources that flow directly to local communities to address overdose. https://t.co/XrubP0HWd2
Some quick notes re: Biden's withdrawal:
1. The Dems do not have an off'l nominee yet, and do not until the delegates vote. There is no nominee to "replace".
2. Both parties have rules in place for when a candidate is unwilling or unable to serve as its nominee.

@elonmusk, again I am begging you to speak with actual election administrators or experts about how our elections are run before spreading disinfo. Machines are far more accurate and secure than alternatives, and with states doing hand count audits, are secure.
Democratic institutions matter, and stand to hold citizens of a democracy accountable to the people and the law. That's true for elections, and that's true for the courts. And our nation stands taller for the men and women who serve those institutions.
Over time, as more evidence, litigation, audits, reviews, and verdicts confirm that Trump lost the 2020 election, his spreading of lies about that election have seemed to exponentially increase, with his rhetoric becoming further untethered to reality.

@elonmusk, those who actually understand how elections work in our country are begging you to stop amplifying and spreading lies about our democracy. Please speak with an actual election expert, or better, an election official, and learn why fraud is so rare. /1

🏃🏽♀️ #Millennial young women are working hard but still losing ground compared to #GenX, our new analysis finds.
They're less likely to give birth as teenagers, drop out of school, or be incarcerated. But they're more likely to die by homicide or suicide. https://t.co/T8ZQjnHutb
Amazing story here of a biodiversity grad school project that turned into a 3M member community - and just raised $10M to secure its future. #ClimateCrisis@inaturalist@seekbyinat https://t.co/K4tvts9c88
New Video: @beckerdavidj explains how accountability for election lies isn’t just about Trump, as a federal judge ruled this week against Rudy Giuliani in a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers who were falsely accused of mishandling ballots in the 2020.
