⚠️DOUBLING HOSPITALIZATIONS & ICU for #COVID19 surging in NYC & NY state. This official data, up to Aug 10th, is very worrisome. HHS data also showing pediatric hospitalizations also increasing. The new #EG5 variant concurrently surging. Please #MaskUp & add #HEPA#ventiliation🧵
The federal government isn't just sending prayers to the people of Hawai'i – but every asset they need.
We're surging aid, resources, and personnel, and will help the state recover for as long as it takes.
📍The thing that worries me about the new #EG5 variant is whether it is incredibly immunity evasive against past infections/vaccines (especially the 80-85% who never got Omicron bivalent booster shot)— and how infectious & severe it will be? And why now this summer if it has been steadily growing a while (but not spiking)—was it the July epic heat wave that sent people into indoors for AC? And is the latest case surge going to overload hospitals or just create a modest wave? I’m still trying to figure this out using data collated from US and Europe. I’m being more cautious with this new WHO-proclaimed #COVID19 “variant of interest”. Meantime please #MaskUp and #ventilate and #HEPA disinfect your schools and office buildings. Better safe than #LongCovid sorry—because 10-20% LC among those infected is ENORMOUS and itself going to crush healthcare systems down the road. #CovidIsNotOver
To protect lands and sacred sites that are precious to Tribal Nations, I set aside one million acres that surround the Grand Canyon to be conserved.
We owe it to our progeny. We owe it to our continent. We owe it to the people of this country.
The situation on Maui is devastating..Last night @WCKitchen teams brought hot meals, fresh sandwiches made by local restaurants, water &fruit to families in and around Lahaina . Today WCK teams are setting up again with thousands of meals for people in need🙏 #ChefsForHawaii
BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with a brutal Friday bombshell as lawyers from the prominent conservative Federalist Society publish a paper declaring that Trump MUST be banned from running for president “under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.”
But it gets WAY worse for Trump…
In their brutal paper, the Federalist Society accuses Trump of treason for “engaging in or gave aid and comfort to an insurrection against the constitutional government” when he incited the deadly January 6 insurrection as part of his failed coup attempt.
Adding insult to injury for Trump, the Federalist Society argues that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — known as the insurrection clause — is "self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. It covers a broad range of former offices, including the presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.”
The clause states that "no person shall be a senator or representative in Congress, or elector of president and vice president, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
Last September, a New Mexico judge ordered the removal of a county commissioner who took part in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The decision marked the first time since 1869 that a court disqualified a public official under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Now, it appears that it may be used against Trump — the mastermind who orchestrated the insurrection.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be banned from running for office ever again — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A
PSA: Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — both of whom accepted luxury vacations from billionaires — could rule on an upcoming Supreme Court case that would ban a federal wealth tax.
If they don’t recuse themselves, why would we expect Americans to ever trust SCOTUS again?
BOOM: Fani Willis is taking the matter seriously as Donald Trump accuses her of having an affair with a gang member at a recent rally. Willis challenges Trump to prove the accusation by tomorrow or face charges for sullying the image of a prosecutor. If convicted in Georgia, Trump will be ineligible to run for office in 2024.
Who is of the opinion that Donald should face additional charges for defaming Fani Willis?🤚🏽

Justice Thomas has brought shame upon himself and the United States Supreme Court with his acceptance of massive, repeated and undisclosed gifts. No government official, elected or unelected, could ethically or legally accept gifts of that scale. He should resign immediately.
No one is above the law. For two decades, Justice Thomas failed to report millions in gifts. Today, we asked DOJ to investigate Thomas for violating the Ethics of Government Act of 1978. We are joined by Ranking Members Nadler & Raskin, and Judiciary Members Lieu & Hank Johnson.
President Biden will announce a new national monument to preserve land around Grand Canyon National Park and limit it from mining, White House officials say. https://t.co/Zy10HVW17Q
Why you need another #COVID19 vaccine💉this fall. The virus may be evolving into a seasonal pattern similar to influenza, by @epaultaylor https://t.co/mI65mWX7B0 via @Globe_Health#vaccination
It's official: Donald Trump is the:
1st man in the Oval Office to be impeached twice
1st man in the Oval Office to incite an insurrection
1st to lose the popular vote TWICE
and now . . . the first to be INDICTED.
But the media is missing the biggest reason this is so important: For the victims of Donald, this is finally some measure of justice.
It's been a long time coming, but after everything Donald has put this country through, WE HAVE PREVAILED.
I'll see you on my substack later (see below👇) with my take on how this impacts our country and me personally, but for now, let's take a minute to celebrate--we've all earned it.
