Spencer Cox is just another Federalist Society coward who has declined to call out this administration for its lawlessness, cruelty, and incompetence. What he is doing right now is trying to save the GOP from the coming electoral tsunami. Nothing more. But sure, PBS News will play along.

The 2020 U.S. election remains one of the most debated in modern history. A review of court cases, audits, recounts, intelligence reports, and investigations shows a more nuanced picture than many headlines suggested. 🧵1/10

📌We have never made near enough of the fact that 317,000 lives in the United States would have been saved during the COVID pandemic had people just gotten vaccinated. That's a staggering number, and we have sickos who don't value life like Donald Trump and RFK Jr. to thank for it.

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

Favorite paragraph from this:

What he's doing is illegal, if you care about law. It's massively expensive, if you care about expense. It's a national security crisis, if you care about national security. It's unconstitutional, if you care about the Constitution. It's likely to be devastating to the economy, if you care about the economy. It's burning the future for us and for our children, if you care about children.
It's the most corrupt activity in the history of our country, if you care about corruption.
Republican Americans claim to care about these things. They observably do not.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

Every step toward authoritarianism since 2017, from stealing a SCOTUS seat to impeachment acquittals to blocking a new VRA to killing the 1/6 Commission to this, comes down to the fact that there aren't 10 GOP Senators who care about democracy & the rule of law. The rest is noise & deflected blame.
