Today, after many months of intensive diplomacy by the United States, along with Egypt and Qatar, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire and hostage deal.
My diplomacy never ceased in their efforts to get this done – I will speak more about this soon.

1/ Let’s set the record straight on the Laken Riley Act, because I’m hearing a lot of people who say they support this bill, but who don't seem to know what it really does.

🚨 All eyes are on North Carolina right now.
Jefferson Griffin is still trying to throw out your ballot and now we'll see if all 5 republicans on the state Supreme Court will go along with his last ditch attempt to name him the winner even though he lost TWO recounts that showed Justice Allison Riggs beat him by 734 votes.

The crisis of democracy didn't end with Trump's victory—it got worse. When North Carolina's state Supreme Court is blocking certification of a state Supreme Court election, the house is on fire.

What? We don't have to treat conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. with kid gloves.
It's simple. He's spent his career fighting school vaccine programs. If they atrophy, kids will get killed.
1/ Let me tell you why we need to be shouting this from the rooftops.

In my last campaign, I knocked the door of a retired firefighter. He said he rarely voted for Democrats, but we had a long, good talk.
His #1 issue was that he was paying $5K a year for a single prescription drug.
And he understandably doubted I could do anything about it. 1/

Starting TODAY, a key provision of the Inflation Reduction Act goes into effect: Limiting annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000 for Medicare beneficiaries.
19 million people are expected to save an average of $400 each.

Key findings from the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation into the Supreme Court's 'ethical crisis':
• Scalia accepted lavish gifts from billionaires and others with business before the Court for more than a decade, in violation of federal law, including 258 personal trips, dozens of which were never disclosed.

I was laid off one day before I was scheduled to interview @SecretaryPete about his final months in office—fortunately he honored the interview anyways. I was able to place it at T+L, so you can read it! We started the call bonding over unemployment travelandleisure.com/transpo…

Starting next month, those on Medicare will see their out-of-pocket prescription drug costs capped at $2,000 per year, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act - passed solely by Democrats while every Republican voted against it.

Trump has not APPOINTED anyone.
He has NOMINATED them.
Presidents do not have the power to appoint cabinet officials or judges — only to nominate them and send them to the Senate for confirmation or rejection.
The words MATTER. Don’t give Trump power he doesn’t have.

"What's happening with this mystery illness in the Congo"
I've gotten this text dozens of times in the past few days.
Here's what we know. What we don't.
And what really matters 🧵

When I was found guilty of murder & sentenced to 26 years, I lost all hope that the truth of my innocence would ever matter. The prison put me on suicide watch. It was shortly thereafter that I received a curious letter from a psychology professor. /🧵

1. It takes time for things to stick properly, so please bear with me while I say again that Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of things she said. She lost because of things Donald Trump said she said.

RESULT, in one of remaining uncalled races: Sal Mungia wins a race to join the supreme court in Washington state.
He has won by roughly 0.6%, defeating a more conservative challenger who wanted to break up the court's progressive majority.
