I love this video starring some of my heroes—and also some old housemates! "Voting is the act of choosing your opponent." Vote for the candidates social movements are most likely to be able to win gains from. youtu.be/q2CHfqJ3I5w?feature…

Well all right, let's do it!
I believe if taxpayers fund the development of a new medicine, they ought to be able to afford it.
That's what today's action is all about.
ALT The Biden-Harris Administration Is Taking On Drug Company Price Gouging Before the Biden-Harris Administration: Taxpayers support federally funded research used to make new prescription drugs -> Pharma companies charge any price (often too high for patients) for those prescription drugs Under the Biden-Harris Administration Proposal: If drug companies make drugs – developed using federal funds – inaccessible due to high prices -> The Administration could license a competing company to sell the same drug for less
Standing with @marganina to demand @XavierBecerra @SecBecerra take action to repeal and replace racist, puritan organ transplant policies that discriminated against—and killed— my brother. Secretary, update the guidelines by World AIDS Day.
One year ago today, the @HHSGov Advisory Council for Blood & Tissue Safety & Availability met to recommend that kidney & liver HOPE transplants become standard of care. This recc is collecting dust like all the other HHS recc's since 2015 wo Dept response. hhs.gov/oidp/advisory-commit…

Remember when Netscape was a search engine and the GFATM launched its early funding round with every dollar pledged - not a portion of funds actually on hand? Times change. My latest for @ThinkGlobalHlth @GlobalFund @WorldBank.thinkglobalhealth.org/articl…

The best way to keep track of what I’m up to is my newsletter, The Ed’s Up: buttondown.email/edyong209
My plan is to keep it free (especially if I end up writing original stuff on it) but you can opt to pay a subscription if you want to support my work. 8/

⚠️THERMONUCLEAR BAD—Hospitals completely overwhelmed in China ever since restrictions dropped. Epidemiologist estimate >60% of 🇨🇳 & 10% of Earth’s population likely infected over next 90 days. Deaths likely in the millions—plural. This is just the start—🧵
As we reach the final day of the US-Africa Leaders Summit, @R2HAction joined 60 orgs in calling on @POTUS to support Africa with a new issuance of #SDRs for #GlobalCrisisRelief

Lots of speculation about what went down in the infamous 2/1/20 teleconference. Lab leak proponents think Fauci conspired with an international group of experts to cover up lab origin because evil gain of function virologist cartel.
Unsurprisingly, they are wrong.
After a long #FOIA fight, I just received a bunch of new unredacted emails detailing the Feb 1 2020 teleconference between Dr. Fauci and virologists discussing SARS-Cov-2: documentcloud.org/documents/…
Fairly similar sitch in NY+CA. Winnable seats were lost. Lots to unpack, but in general, blue state voters turned out at a 'take it for granted' rate, while purple states like PA MI AZ (and purple districts like NM-02 and KS-03) organized their hearts out to win.
Lotta feels today for 1st woman @SpeakerPelosi. She + @LeaderHoyer have both been very supportive of people w/ AIDS. A new day with @RepJeffries (& slate) ahead—but much to be thankful for. Glad @WhipClyburn is staying in leadership with a new position. #ThankYouMadamSpeaker
Still flipping the pundit doom script! The House and Senate were always a longshot - but organizing makes the difference. And how awesome will it be to take Boebert's heavily R district??? bit.ly/DemBallotCure
Our path to a Democratic House runs through very close races in Arizona, California and Colorado. Thank you to all the grassroots volunteers helping us with phone banks and canvasses to reach voters who need to cure their ballots. Join us. bit.ly/DemBallotCure
Blood moon tonight is for the R hopes of a takeover. D gains in Senate and might even keep the House!
Actually, in NY state, turnout failures *did* materialize, and if Ds lose the House, NY is the reason.
