Especially – Busy Bid

@scottsantens: I’m so fucking tired of thoughts and prayers. They just never seem to prevent horrific shit from relentlessly happening. It’s almost like actions matter more, especially actions rooted in evidence.It’s not some god deciding kids need to be shot at school.A man-made system is.

@EconomicSecProj: Parents did especially well, thanks to monthly #CTC payments: the share of parents who couldn’t afford a $400 expense decreased 8 percentage points (44% to 36%) — the biggest change since the Fed began collecting this data — compared to 2-pp decrease for adults w/o kids. (3/7)

@FundForHumanity: The term “job” meaning a “paid position of employment” was coined in 1858. It’s a way to circulate money in an economic system but NOT THE ONLY WAY, especially not when the needs of society are not fulfilled. When the system is no longer working, UBI is the answer.

@scottsantens: “Means-testing begets administrative burdens. Which means that some people, maybe many people, especially the people with fewest resources and most in need, will not receive benefits. This is the administrative burden Catch-22.”Universalism beats targeting. Stop means-testing.

@fairvote: Limiting voters to one choice in elections, especially in crowded fields, can have harmful impacts on our democracy. #RankedChoiceVoting lets voters rank their choices and picks a winner with a broad base of support. @fulcrum_us:

@thewordsmithm: New research from ADP shows that two thirds of the global workforce (64%) said that they would consider looking for a new job if their employer wanted them back in the office full-time – and RTO mandates could especially drive younger employees to quit:

@FundForHumanity: The challenge democracies are facing, especially ours, is that they promise a great deal and too often, do not deliver. Many laws are passed but fail to be or are badly implemented. We keep running into unintended consequences. We just have to recognize this as policies arise.

@bencasselman: Supply chains were vulnerable to disruption before the pandemic, and they will remain vulnerable after it, especially as climate change makes natural disasters more common, according a new @WhiteHouseCEA report.

@_cingraham: This isn’t just a Feinstein thing: it’s a problem across Congress, but especially within the Democratic caucus. The average House Democratic leader is nearly two decades older than their Republican counterparts.

@scottsantens: Employers should see it as a patriotic act to allow remote work wherever possible, especially for everyone who would prefer it. If commuting was greatly reduced again, demand for gas would drop, and so would prices. Biden should encourage it.

Flash News

@RoKhanna: If Democrats want to regain the trust of people across the country, we need to deliver on the things that materially improve people’s lives.It’s time for Biden to cancel student debt for millions of Americans. Now.

@AndrewYang: In America the unimaginable is becoming commonplace. What will it take to spur real action in a polarized country? You hope this is it but we have seen so many horrors and come away with little but grief and mourning and a dread of the next atrocity.

@karrilevens: Good night everyone….God bless!

@FundForHumanity: Poverty is a very expensive societal problem. It’s much cheaper, more efficient not to mention more moral to just GIVE PEOPLE MONEY.

@scottsantens: Good guys with guns didn’t work. Time to throw that solution out. Maybe we should go ahead and do some things that the majority of voters actually want? Like universal background checks (~90%) and requiring licenses (~80%) in the same way we do for vehicles?LET’S DO SOMETHING.

@thehill: Greene easily wins Georgia GOP primary

@dpakman: I filmed this segment around noon today and tragically it’s already out of date

@RoKhanna: Fourteen little kids, dead.When are we going to wake up as a country?Abolish the filibuster. Pass gun safety legislation, now. This needs to stop. We can never allow this to happen again.

@AndrewYang: This is fucking terrible.
