@mcmansionhell Black nigella seed helps

@jaketapper Journalism should mean something more than laundering the President’s propaganda and calling it news. Your colleague Barak should engage with his critics rather than dismiss them as bigots. It has nothing to do with his race or religion

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@BarakRavid This is a real criticism of your reporting. It's about your willingness to launder the White House's talking points even when there are clear indications that they are false and politically motivated. Perhaps you should address this.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

The impact of not releasing the report seems more damaging than releasing it at this point

Why leave to voters’ imagination the level of control that pro-Israel donors have over the Democratic Party?

Unless it’s far worse than we can imagine

[Ken Martin @kenmartin73]

Always happy to chat with fellow Democrats. At the end of the day, we all want Democrats to win. Here are some of the key takeaways from 2024 and 2025 that we're putting into action to do just that. Take a look: https://t.co/KQIZroMwG1

@WalshFreedom Please leave

@SethAbramson See, e.g., Biden’s “red line” in Rafah. The place was completely decimated and somehow the red line was never crossed.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@SethAbramson This is almost correct—except it’s not a pathology of Trumpism. There’s a bipartisan agreement to lie to Americans about Israel’s actions. The Biden administration was just as eager to do so. That’s why D electeds aren’t out front with this critique, either

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints Yes, Tommy Vietor and I share this view.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints ??? Because there are other ways I could be identified by that information? And also because it's not really a fair burden to put on someone before taking their ideas seriously?

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints I'm not sure why you're being hostile towards me. It's not unreasonable to decline to provide a stranger with information that might identify me. What's more, it has nothing to do with the persuasiveness of my position. I've engaged in good faith but I now fear you have not.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints I won't do that :)

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints I didn't passively aggressively scold Natalie! I asked her to focus on moving Democrats on the issues that can help them win elections.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints All I can say is that I have unusual opportunities to express my views to R electeds, and I find they're not very receptive since I live in a "blue state" and I'm not an R voter. By contrast, D electeds do care about what I think, since they can actually win or lose my vote :)

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@voidyscreamy @ContraPoints Hi Screamilla—yes I'm trying. But since I'm not part of their coalition (mainly vote for left-liberals and served in a Democratic administration), they don't tend to care too much about what I think!

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@infocraving @matthewstoller Helpful -- and yes I agree. So if you could address patient "cherry picking" and pick better quality measures, maybe VBC is viable alongside the other things you mentioned (e.g., administrative bloat).

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@infocraving @matthewstoller Yes I agree with this.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@infocraving @matthewstoller Yes, that's fair! But there are policy levers to ameliorate that which are largely not in place. I'm just trying to understand if it's the concept of VBC or its current instantiations we're discussing.

[BIPOC Chopra @regarding_u]

@matthewstoller @infocraving Thanks for engaging. I'm assuming you're in favor of rate regulation or price caps then? (Let's assume we're in something like the system we have now.)
