@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Calling my senators daily. Staffers seem uninterested. Them: I’ll take a note of this and get back to you. Me: You are telling me I’ll get a response? Them: Me: hello? You didn’t even ask my zip code. Are you recording anything?

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler healed bodies and broke barriers. As the first Black woman M.D. in America (1864), she brought care to those society forgot, moving to VA to provide care to freed slaves. Her pioneering work paved the way for future generations of Black women in medicine.

If you paid 14k in tax last year, you contributed about $6.50 to keep national parks running. Seems like a great deal to me. But now, you’ve paid and they cut staff and you wont be able to visit many of them at all. Apparently, less than $10 is too much.

Measles infection can cause pneumonia or encephalitis, even death, soon after infection. What most folks don't know is that measles can also kill years later, from SSPE, subacute sclerosing pan-encephalitis. It's brain damage — incurable, irreversible, progressive, and nearly always fatal. 1/13

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good. This is what we now know, and what we have to do about it:🧵1/17

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Rep Amos is on FIRE about the GOP Tax Scam. "This is a betrayal. Full stop. This is not some social policy experiment. Real people will suffer. It is a betrayal of our seniors. It's a betrayal of our families. It is a betrayal of the middle class."
