I didn't realize that a two-sentence tweet would get so much attention, so here is a longer explanation of why Social Security doesn't add to the national debt: 🧵
New legislation from Sen.-elect Andy Kim (D-NJ) would require Presidential appointees, including Director of National Intelligence, to "publicly disclose information about recent financial transactions with foreign governments"

EXCLUSIVE: Gaetz withdrew from AG nomination 45 mins after we called to say we were going to report that “Ethics committee told there was a *second* sexual encounter between Gaetz and 17 year old in 2017.” w/@sarahnferris.” Full story: https://t.co/z244tATQIU
@AshleyGWinter A good friend of mine, who was living in LA but on vacation in FL, met her husband there in a bar. Turns out he was living in LA, too, and in FL on vacation.
@mmccourty@ADHDForReal I like this analogy better than the wood chipper. Maybe because I don’t have much experience with wood chippers but do have a fear of heights in certain situations, so I can relate to it better. And also your, “can’t convince their bodies to comply” is so accurate.
@DaisyLouLand@CalltoActivism Great question! He was elected for this upcoming term before he resigned, so would he still be the congressman elect for this new Congress? Was there even a need for him to resign before being sworn in as AG, except to avoid release of the report? He’ll still want to avoid report
A recently filed California lawsuit says a Mormon bishop sexually abused a girl in his office at church at least 35 times between 2008 and 2010, starting when the girl was 7 years old, including once under the pretense of a baptismal interview.

It's been three years since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was passed.
Over the next few years, when you see a new road being paved, or a highway being expanded, or your home being connected to the internet, remember it was Joe Biden who made that possible.
2/ which makes this sound like an autocrat's move--try and strike terror into the hearts of public servants so they will be obedient. A horrible abuse of military justice & unlawful effort to impose command influence.
A full field investigation begins w/ a detailed FBI interview, followed by interviews with scores of witnesses. Any false answer is a felony. The whole investigation is critical for Senate to assess national security risk and character and is integral to constitutional scheme.
@mistresstailor I wish you would move to 💙 Sky, I have LOVED seeing what you create! A lot of people have made the switch. I am leaving Twitter, just trying to find people I follow here & see if they have made the move, before I delete my account.
So, we use fewer antigens to protect against more diseases. Because of science.
I guess you don’t want to be able to use our knowledge and tools to prevent more illness today compared to decades ago??

@nnnnnnxox@mistresstailor This ☝️ exactly! I love seeing what you create, either for yourself or for work (shows, plays, etc.). It is fascinating to see the projects progress thru the various stages of assembly/creation and I marvel at the skill, time, effort, attention to detail, and creativity!
I mean, go get a Virgin Mary tattoo or something. No one is going to mind. Get a cross on your back. But the Old English Latin Crusader-throwback tattoos, that neo-Nazis often have? Yeah, that's going to raise eyebrows.
Ask yourself why the leading researchers studying Long Covid are wearing respirators in a conference at Rome.
Hint: They might know a thing or two about what SARS2 does to the brain and body, and they don’t want to risk an infection.
(aaaand respirators work!)
Matt Gaetz practiced law for two years at a private law firm. That is the extent of his legal career. He has been under legal investigation almost 10xs longer than he’s practiced law. This is not only a disgrace to all Americans, but the legal profession.
@Ahully1@EliMcCann My teenaged daughter wanted me to read The Hunger Games. Only a few chapters in, I “realized” either Katniss or Peeta would have to die. I told her I couldn’t read a book about teenagers dying, especially kind Peeta. She finally had to tell me he lived so I’d read the book.
Make no mistake: this information could be relevant to the question of Mr. Gaetz’s confirmation as the next Attorney General of the United States and our constitutional responsibility of advice and consent.
