“An initiative called Progress 2028 that purports to be Kamala Harris’ liberal counter to the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is actually funded by Elon Musk.” This is who is running @X algorithms.

Replying to @jonfavs
@jonfavs Any idea why the Dems are not threatening a motion to vacate over Ukraine Aid? 
If Johnson brings up the vote and it passes, they could provide the votes to keep him in office if he faces a mutiny. 
If he won’t bring up the vote, we need a speaker who will.

Either aid passes or the GOP flails around again for a new speaker before an election - bonus.
 Thoughts?

1/ I would like to address instances where some of the world's largest media outlets, such as the @WSJ and @Reuters , have either plagiarized my materials or used them without providing proper credit. 🧵Thread:

.@benjaminwittes just caught up on the pod w @shaneharris on NordS pipeline bombing. Given the failure of the @FBI to ID the capitol bomber with intact bomb as forensic evidence, not sure we can expect them to be able to attribute the NS1/2, even if it were in their jurisdiction.

Fantastic job by @ktbenner moderating the panel at the @UChiPolitics event. Tuned in late, but I was surprised the issue of VP Pence’s testimony or lack thereof didn’t appear to come up (unless i missed it). (And we should all read the appendices!)

I’m sad to report that I can still access Twitter using @tweetbot I’m also sad to report I can’t access mastodon with Ivory by @tapbots since I am not on the beta!

Having a blast at #CellBio2022! Excited to share my post-doc work today. I’ll speak in the Biological Size Control session this evening (rm 207A), and I’ll share a poster this afternoon P2324/B654. Hope to chat with you!

Just tried out the movetodon.org follower finder. It found about 12% of my network. The 12% it finds is likely biased towards the more active Twitter users. Combined with the metatext app, mastodon is getting pretty decent, check it out. @mglo@fediscience.org

I talked this morning about an inflection point in this country right now, specifically for reporters: What are you more afraid of? Being on Breitbart for saying that trans people deserve to be alive? Or are you more afraid of waking up to the news of more dead people?

Exactly 9 years ago today, I was in a pub with my uni pals when we heard the news that then-president Yanukovych would not sign the association agreement with the EU, crushing Ukraine's European hopes and locking us to Russia. We were not buying it. Here's what happened next 🧵

Measured 50” snowfall at 630 pm in Hamburg, NY outside the gas station along I90. Found a unimpeded flat area with wind coming from right side of this image. There are areas with more but I could not burrow far enough to reach those locations. @accuweather @NWSBUFFALO @JLAngeline

1/ There's one night I will remember most when thinking about Nancy Pelosi - the night I watched her single handedly save health care for 20 million Americans. It was at the first Democratic caucus meeting after Scott Brown won the special Senate election in Massachusetts.
