Organized, civil, & massive nonviolent pro-democracy direct actions have been happening in Hong Kong, too - in this instance, to expand civil liberties & demonstrate against an extradition bill.
Pay attention. These are hundreds of thousands of people organizing & showing up ⬇️ twitter.com/afp/status/115…

By the end of the mtg, I had no idea if I made the cut.
If you look at Oversight, it includes many all-stars of Congress.
From @RepRaskin to @RoKhanna, Cummings is a legendary coach who brings the best out of everyone.
He makes the country better. You want to be on his team.

He looked right at me & said: “I am going to ask you plainly: Are you here to do the work?”
People’s lives are at stake in urgent ways on Oversight. He demanded excellence, & was watching my every word.
I said “Yes” &made my best case incl why & how I wanted to be on the cmte.

Let me tell you a story about Chairman @RepCummings.
Before new members are assigned to Congressional committees, we have to make our case to the chair.
Chairman Cummings was TOUGH. I sat down in his office to make my case for Oversight, and I was quite nervous. twitter.com/thehill/status…

Okay everyone UPDATE on Equifax: for most people the better deal is 10 years of free credit monitoring.
There’s apparently a run on settlements so there’s anxiety people are going to get 16 cent checks. But if you choose 10 years of credit monitoring, Equifax *must* cover it.

If any little event equals “Democrats in Disarray,” what do all these GOP members dropping out at once mean?
Republicans in ... riot? Row? Racket? (Do people never write that headline because the alliteration isn’t as good? 😉) talkingpointsmemo.com/news/martha-ro…

Everyone: go get your check from Equifax!
$125 is a nice chunk of change.
Get that money and pay off a bill, sock it away, take a day off, treat yourself, whatever you’d like - but cash 👏🏿 that 👏🏽 check! 👏🏻
💸 It takes one minute. Do it here 💸: …igibility.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/en/eligibility twitter.com/CNBC/status/11…

One reason why drugs are so expensive: Pharma CEO pay is often tied to their stock price.
That means Big Pharma spends more 💰 buying their own stocks than in research & dev to make prescriptions cheaper. It’s a huge Ponzi scheme.
Congress needs to end the stock buyback. twitter.com/cspan/status/1…

Today I was asked why we should bother paying interns if they’re “getting experience for their résumé.”

The notion of dismantling ICE is nowhere near as radical as the destructive 2003 decision to establish ICE - an extrajudicial enforcement agency that controls a black-box network of for-profit detention centers accountable to no one, even when people die - in the first place. twitter.com/Haleaziz/statu…

Pretty staggering stat: this September, one in every 300 Americans will be sitting in a New York City public school. Good illustration of how huge the system of 1.1 million school children is.
