@NewsHour @IAmAmnaNawaz @GeoffRBennett @amyewalter @tamarakeithNPR Wonderful to see #PoliticsMonday has returned today, Monday, April 10, 2023, to @NewsHour. Really missed the always insightful commentary of @amyewalters and @tamarakeithNPR. Delighted beyond words that the duo is back. 🤗

Yet another Monday without #PoliticsMonday. 😢 While I am thrilled that the superb Amna Nawaz was selected as the new co-anchor, I'm really missing this segment with insights by Tamara and Amy to start the week.

Great to see @amyewalter on the Wed 3/15/23 edition and @tamarakeithNPR last week on PBS @NewsHour. Now let's see them together again on the #PoliticsMonday segment -- or on "PoliticsAnyDay". 😃

@DanAdjuto Danny, sinto muito por razão do assalto e perda do seu celular. A mesma coisa aconteceu comigo, um turista americano, no meio da multidão do Carnaval 2019 em Salvador. Felizmente, foi meu telefone antigo que foi roubado. O novo estava trancado com segurança no cofre do meu hotel.

@John__Gardiner Where did you find this announcement about the #Fitbit outage? Perhaps I checked in the wrong places. I looked at @Fitbit on Twitter and https://t.co/VtcH8cQE2L and couldn't find any notification about this event.

[William Owen @owenmed]

@steviekayjay At the very least, it would have shown some respect for their customers, had @Fitbit posted a banner on their https://t.co/ytwuIL3mAU site informing us about the outage. 🙄

@CNNBrasil Daniel, adorei sua apresentação e alerta sobre a fragilidade dos direitos da comunidade LGBTQIA+ no Brasil. Nos EUA, um juiz homofóbico de nossa Suprema Corte propõe remover nossos direitos gays pelos quais lutamos durante muitos anos. Concordo que é um aviso pra as eleições.

@TylerSteven_ @DrEricDing "Go back to the Amazon jungle" is not the most appropriate phrase in this case. The state of Amazonas in Brazil and its capital Manaus had one of the highest case and death rates in the world in January 2021, related to the gamma variant surge.

@JillLanglois @nytimes @ipeafro @inhotim Thanks Jill, for your [always] excellent reporting. This Museu de Arte Negra would be worth a visit. I'm also pleased to learn that Parque Inhotim is still open in the wake of 2 very different disasters, the dam collapse inundating nearby Brumadinho, and the Covid-19 pandemic.

@chromeunboxed Just got a new mesh router with WiFi 6E. While there are smartphones that support 6E frequencies (e.g., Pixel 6), I can't find any currently available 6E capable Chromebooks. When might we expect 6E to arrive on Chromebooks?

@itsalexberg I rarely check my Twitter feed but, in following the controversy over the recent change in CDC's Covid-19 isolation guidelines, I just noticed your attempt to reach out to me this past summer. I suspect you have long since completed your story, but I wanted to reply in any case.

@serwer @benwerschkul @amandafung @AnjKhem @michaelmina_lab @NeilSehgal @MaraLiasson @PressSec @edyong209 Your report is practically a paean to this unethical company, @AbbottNews. Why did you not mention -- or investigate -- the fact that #Abbott discarded millions of its antigen tests when it appeared people were not testing as much?

@thetvlinsider Not sure if you covered this, but another novel route of Internet access is via ATSC 3.0 "Broadcast Internet". https://t.co/7tLGEpaiza

As a founder of our 1st #LGBTQ doctors' group, Bay Area Physicians for Human Rights (BAPHR), I know that access at UC to inclusive care is vital for physical & mental health of our patients.

@grangeblanche Wow! That article is a piece of gay medical history I had completely forgotten about. Sorry for the delayed reply. I only rarely go on Twitter and just noticed your Tweet from last year. 🤗

Desde semanas, apoio o vice-gov do meu estado natal, a Pensilvânia, @JohnFetterman , na candidatura dele ao Senado em 2022 mas não fazia ideia de que a esposa dele, @giselefetterman é do Brasil, meu destino favorito. Aliás, ela o chama de "João". 😆 Doar: https://t.co/pCcAo2lBIu

Segundo os cientistas da Universidade Stanford, o #variante brasileiro "fluminense" (P.2) do #coronavirus já está circulando na Área da Baía de São Francisco. #COVIDー19 @TheRioTimes @jornalnacional https://t.co/icqYHHl0yA

While we couldn't be in Washington, D.C. today, this photo from Inauguration Day 2013 truly reflects our emotions today. 😁🇺🇸😄

@MattHaneySF I grew up in Philly and, when the Salk polio vax came out in 1955, gyms in all of the public schools were mobilized by DPH as vaccination centers. Why can't SF do that here -- or outdoors in idle schoolyards? @SF_DPH @MonicaGandhi9 @shamannwalton @LondonBreed
