    My dear fellow brothers and sisters in red states and Republican counties, The Republican Party and RW media misinformed you about COVID-19 and have put you in grave danger this winter. Keep that in mind when they ask for your vote next Fall.

    We know Omicron is active in MA, and the situation is changing fast. Massachusetts families are tired after 2 years of this pandemic. Right now, I’m on a mission to help us find a path forward together. Get vaxxed or boosted, mask up, & help keep loved ones safe. There’s a way!

    Please, please, PLEASE read this, and when you stop laughing hysterically, dry your eyes, and can breathe again, share it generously! It completes me:)

    So it was Rick Perry; the error was not the Chyron writer, but the committee chart. Apparently, the text was sent from Rick Perry's phone!

    Did omicron write this

    I hope you all have a great weekend! Take off your mask, go out, and spend time with friends and family. Don't allow out-of-touch politicians and bureaucrats to stop you from living your life.

    Exactly

    Isn't it Scott Perry? Rick wasn't a lawmaker.

    “It’s a scathing look at how state governments…have become controlled lock, stock, and barrel in so many states by wealthy right-wing interests—to such an extent that they are no longer merely just conservative but are helping to destroy our democracy.”

    Not a surprise.

    Kanye West’s ‘Independent’ Campaign Was Secretly Run by GOP Elites "The campaign took steps, experts say, to mask its connections to GOP operatives. That could violate federal election laws." (The Daily Beast)

    Where is on this.

    This is overtly antisemitic and it’s disgusting. Every American Jew of every political affiliation must denounce this.

    I had missed this tweet--dangerous, inciting stuff--but also scroll down to see Burns' next tweet in the thread where he tries to draw an analogy to (!) removal of Confederate monuments in the U.S.

    For folks who think it’s just fine to stand by silently when Rep. Gosar calls for the destruction of the Al Aqsa mosque, here’s Trump’s “Top Pastor” standing with/doubling down on Gosar’s call to “remove” Islam’s 3rd holiest site. Silence on this is gross negligence.

    Exactly so.

    There are actually ~51 senators standing in way of BBB. Manchin is empowered because states elected 50 Rs who uniformly oppose the bill.

    I’ve had the pleasure of meeting once. He is spot on here!

    The failure of sports leagues to require vaccination, beyond the disruptions in games and schedules, will likely lead to tragedy at some point-- not just players, coaches getting Covid, but someone unvaccinated getting desperately ill or dying with Omicron or Delta.

    There is room to wiggle on the CTC, especially if it can provide the room for pre-K

    Replying to @ThePlumLineGS @brianbeutler
    Not that I’m calling for it, but can’t they just make the CTC $150/kid or whatever instead of $250 as part of the reconfiguration?

    Yeah, I believe so. And it would include the Medicare prescription drug negotiations as a pay-for.

    Yeah. Prescription drug reform is a pay-for.

    It is unfortunate that Zion Williamson has missed so many games in his first 3 years. He is a tremendous talent and one of the most exciting players in the league. But keep things in perspective. He has played almost 3 times as many games as Embiid did in his first 3 years.

    This tweet has broken irony for all time.

    One thing that has become clear to me over the last two years is that while high-level journalism has deep problems it's better at handling debate and self-correction than either public bureaucracy or academia.
