Today, I asked Moderna’s CEO, Stéphane Bancel, if he could guarantee that Americans would not pay the highest prices in the world for the COVID vaccine.

He could not make that commitment.

@CREDOMobile @Verizon I “switched” to the exact same plan that I should have been on for months... why doesn’t CREDO offer credit when service should have been reviewed months ago. Clearly you don’t care about loyal customers.

[whitney files @whitneyfiles]

@CREDOMobile has no regard for long-time loyal customers, overcharging us for MONTHS, refusing to provide a credit, despite promoting themselves as "socially-responsible". Very disappointed in poor customer service -- might as well move to @Verizon.

@BardMBA in Sustainability is hiring! Adjunct positions in (1) Strategy for Sustainability and (2) Marketing and Stakeholders, for Spring 2023 semester. Teaching is on-line plus in-person in NYC one weekend a month. Seeking practitioners + great teachers. Glad to discuss.

How hard can it be?

A 10 year old victim of abuse needs a safe, life-saving medical procedure and instead right-wing extremist legislators would make her carry a fetus to term, likely risking her own life. Disgusting.

Never forget that Mitch McConnell blocked Merrick Garland 8 months before election then confirmed Amy Coney Barrett 8 days before election when 65 million had already voted so she could take away reproductive rights & voting rights from millions of Americans

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Romney and Collins should remember the courage and integrity of Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords -- a Republican until 2001, when he became so upset with the values of the GOP that he switched to being an Independent. The switch gave control of the Senate to the Democrats.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Is anyone surprised that the party that has won the popular vote once in the last 30 years is trying to subvert the will of the people?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

--Mitch McConnell, February 2016 (within an hour of Justice Scalia's death)

@RachelPatzerPhD Wow! Good luck to you and your family & thank you for caring for our communities. I’m also home alone with a 3-week old infant and kindergartener since school closed and already exhausted. But fortunate that my partner can come home to us after work... sending u positive vibes!

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

AMAZING. Paper does deep analysis to understand the decline in jail since bail reform. They believed the hype. Expected some “mass exodus” of “dangerous criminals.” But found it was really that those charged w/ lowlevel offenses weren’t being sent anymore.https://t.co/h8Ixx6tDkn

A study found that a global effort to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050 would cost nations $73 trillion, but would be paid off in under 7 years. This shift would also create 28.6 million more full-time jobs than continuing with fossil fuels. https://t.co/H2Iy6KCUTJ

How many horrible and heartbreaking events like this should happen ‘til governments act on climate? 😢

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

He’s never tried a case. He condemned women’s rights and diversity. He refused to answer senators’ questions. He may be tied up in Trump's Ukraine scandal.

Senate Republicans just confirmed Steven Menashi to be a lifetime federal judge anyway. https://t.co/oIyAZqciET
