give johnson one thing: He got a majority of the majority on this bill. a good result.
But Jeffries got every single Democrat -- save one, who voted present.
🚨THE HOUSE HAS PASSED a bill to avert a midnight shutdown.
THE BILL passed 366-34-1
170 Republicans voted yes, 196 Democrats voted yes. 34 Republicans voted no. A total of
ZERO Democrats voted no. Dems saved Republicans here.
NO DEBT CEILING -- House Republicans weren't at ALL moved by Trump's demands to lift the borrowing cap. Trump effectively asked for one thing. he didnt get it.
ONTO THE SENATE.....

1/2 AMP commends Myriad Genetics for recognizing the incredible innovation since 2013 spurred by the landmark Supreme Court case that shares our names. We look forward to working with Myriad to protect this vital decision and continue patient access to genomic testing & research.
Celebrating 10 years of innovation in #precisionmedicine and every benefit that this Supreme Court decision has brought to patients everywhere.
On the 10th anniversary of AMP v. Myriad (2013), AMP reflects on how the Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling invalidating #genepatents revolutionized the way diseases are diagnosed and contributes to improved patient outcomes. #precisionmedicine #genetictesting vimeo.com/828430768?share=co…

“Governor Newsom’s veto of #SB912 is a huge missed opportunity to ensure more Californians – regardless of race, ethnicity, zip code, income or insurance type – can benefit from the most effective cancer treatments.” – Jim Knox @ACSCAN @CAgovernor #caleg

🚨I wrote about what the US can do to fight the ongoing pandemic, which its leaders have decided to sleepwalk through. When political will evaporates, what rises in its place?
This piece is an attempt to resist fatalism, and find hope amid inaction. 1/

Under arcane rules, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s signature couldn’t appear on the dollar until a treasurer was in place. On Tuesday, President Biden named Marilynn Malerba as U.S. treasurer. She will be the first Native American to hold the position. nyti.ms/39JzlFE
Why is the US choosing to make the same mistakes all over again?

"While efforts announced by the White House today to increase the availability of at-home tests and federal testing sites in the near future are a step in the right direction, they will not overcome all of the obstacles that limit timely testing." #molpath #COVID19 #IDTwitter
"The U.S. is once again facing a testing shortage, which will only be further exacerbated by FDA’s plans to pull what the agency deems to be “non-priority #COVID19 tests” off the market as early as February... Now is not the time to reduce laboratory capacity."
