I’m running for Lt. Governor because the Republican plan isn’t this year’s 12 week abortion ban; it’s next year’s total abortion ban. I'm North Carolina Senator Rachel Hunt. Let me explain... #ncpol

1. ABOUT LAST NIGHT
I participated in a Twitter space hosted by @katienotopoulos w/a lot of journalists
When I joined @jason, one of Musk's apparatchiks, was badgering @drewharwell, a suspended reporter, and Jack Sweeney, the guy behind the accounts that tracked jets

Thoughts on Twitter, Musk, and the destruction of the virtual public square.
The end may be near. No amount of snark or schadenfreude will change the fact that this situation is a disaster. Twitter has always been a mess – but also a crucial instrument to democratize America.

We have 21 days before we vote to hold the House and expand our Senate majority. We're ALSO providing Rides to the Polls for voters who don't have transportation -- we're literally getting out the vote. Your RT and small donation helps. secure.actblue.com/donate/sw…

So with the EPA ruling, will we now need to have congress set the amount of lead legally permissible in drinking water? Will they be required to explicitly name how many rat hairs are permissible in peanut butter? How much cadmium can be in cosmetics? – at Manhattan, NY

- The GOP cares more about their guns than your children
- The GOP wants to regulate womens’ bodies, but not the favorite tools of mass murderers
- The GOP wants to arm every teacher in America while telling you that they can’t be trusted to come up with your child’s curriculum

We all want to protect our children and their education. That works best when parents and teachers work together and listen to each other. It doesn't work when politicians use kids as political pawns to divide us from one another. That has to stop now. 1/

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.
Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Unfortunately, this editorial matters. People don’t shrug this off as “Just one editorial” – they read it as “the NYT says…” And with that, the idea that America is facing a free speech crisis, that cancel culture is real, and that *both sides* are at fault becomes dogma. /end

There is a guide, @davidaxelrod:
Go to cdc.gov, and click on the big blue button that says "Check Your County."

A lot of interest in this comment. So let me lay out a framework for assessing risk in general and how it relates to Covid so we have a more nuanced understanding of “risk” and risk mitigation.
3 things can determine risk:
-probability
-severity
-time

Dudes, I put my life savings in a blind trust and co-sponsored the stock trading ban months ago. The main NJ politician resisting this movement is wannabe Congressman Tom Kean, who lives off his trusts and apparently has some explaining to do. Let us know when he gets on board.

9. Had you told me then that I would be a student at NYU at age 51, I wouldn’t have believed it.
I had big dreams back then but when I look back they were rooted in my desire to survive...I couldn't have imagined a world in which I would be a university student at my age.

Last month we voted to cap insulin for millions of Americans at $35 and every single republican voted no. Now mcconnell republicans are trying to block it because they want your insulin to stay expensive.

OSHA, where this rule emanates from, has one job. Make sure workplaces are safe.
You may think of them as the people who inspect the workplace to make sure companies require helmets & goggles when scraps of wood could fly around. 5/

Almost 5 years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby.
Two days later, I brought him home from the hospital.
Three weeks later, in the middle night, as I nursed him, I noticed that he was breathing very quickly.

Quick story about monopoly power.
So @amazon has been trying to build a hub in our town to which citizens & council members have tried to stop.
This was ~ 3 months ago and negotiations seem to be ongoing. ~ 2 months ago, Amazon increased prime shipping time to ONLY OUR ZIP
