Check out the framing of this question from Fox News host @DavidAsmanfox. Embarrassing. pic.twitter.com/rchZqSV4n1

Not once in 4 years of Gallup’s 3-day tracking of Trump’s approval rating was it ever higher than 49%.
He was the least popular incumbent since Carter to run for re-election. It’s not shocking that he got his ass kicked in the election. https://t.co/7BSCQR2vI2
But if you do nothing other than consume conservative media, you’d be under the false impression that he’s popular, that his ideas are popular, and that the people who oppose him are a small group of haters.
In Gallup’s last update before the election, Trump had a -6 net approval rating. The last time it was a net positive was in May when it was +1.
And here’s how you get numbers like that: you do absolutely nothing to try to win over people who aren’t already part of your base. Look at those numbers among independents.
-Chaired by EAT's founder
-Have WHO as anchoring agency
-Have an "innovation pillar" led by the Good Food Institute (a lobby group for vegan lab-foods)
Now imagine the outcome of this triumvirate!🤔

Background here:
What is the GFI? An extremely well-funded lobby platform, representing producers of lab-generated foods that are meant to take over "outdated" animal foods.
On the advisory board we find some people like the founder of FAIRR (Jeremy Coller) and the Saudi Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed.
Here's some info on FAIRR, Alwaleed, and the $$$.

It seems increasingly likely that, come March, the govt is planning to say to under-65s without pre-existing conditions: go forth and get Covid https://t.co/BhHNG3M2DR

2. Where is the modelling or evidence to support a focused protection vaccination strategy? The government has chosen it as its preferred strategy but it must have considered other options. Will the government publish the data and the alternative options considered?
3. A responsible government will have modelling for 20%, 50% and 80% vaccine coverage, and projections for the number of infections, Long Covid and deaths in each scenario. Where are those models? On what basis has the government opted for the 20% scenario?
4. The government should also have modelled each of these scenarios against a backdrop of low, medium and high community transmission. What is the impact of each vaccination scenario against varying levels of community transmission?
5. There should also be some assessment of incidence of reinfection and likely evolution of variants given different levels of community transmission. What does this assessment tell us?
3 major corporations say they'll stop donating to members of Congress who tried to overturn the election
BlueCross BlueShield (@BCBSAssociation)
Marriott (@MarriottIntl)
@CommerceBank
Follow along for more on these 3 plus 141 other
@MarriottIntl @CommerceBank 2. In the last 3 cycles, the BlueCross BlueShield PAC has donated 959K to GOP candidates and 359K to Dem candidates.
Now, BCBS's CEO says it will "suspend contributions to those lawmakers who voted to undermine our democracy"
https://t.co/r4Z4TjJUCe
@MarriottIntl @CommerceBank 3. @CommerceBank's PAC favors Republicans over Democrats by a 6 to 1 margin. The bank now says it has "suspended all support for officials who have impeded the peaceful transfer of power"
@MarriottIntl released a similar statement to Popular Information.
https://t.co/r4Z4TjJUCe
4. @tesszeeks and I contacted 144 corporations that donated this cycle to Senators who objected to the Electoral College vote
We asked if their support would continue
We got a lot of other responses + a lot of corporations who, so far, are ignoring

But a couple things to expand on from a virology point of view.
The article and the accompanying thread from @kakape are well worth a read https://t.co/32c8l66eTV

The piece talks about the B117 variant as if it’s not SARS-CoV-2, but it is. B117 is distinguished by 23 changes across the genome, but it’s still fundamentally the same virus. It’s a different variant (some are calling it a strain depending on how that’s defined).
But 23 nucleotide changes aren’t sufficient to make this a completely different virus. So we are still fighting SARS-CoV-2. Just a new and improved version. Improved how? Well it’s more transmissible but the mechanism isn’t yet known.
When viruses become more transmissible it can happen in a few different ways:
-virus can be more fit (replicate to higher titers, hence more shedding)
-virus can replicate more efficiently in specific tissues (like the nose)
-spike can bind the receptor more efficiently and...
...thus infect host cells more efficiently
-virus can get better at evading/antagonizing innate host antiviral defenses
-increased environmental stability
-people can shed virus for longer periods of time

Judge rules \u201cno standing\u201d in my lawsuit to toss fraudulent Biden electors. If I don\u2019t have standing, no one does. When no one ever has standing, what good is a court system? My response on @Newsmax below #SaveTheRepublic #StopTheSteal https://t.co/HLQCM6S5CE

2/ Judges refuse to review fraud evidence based on an alleged lack of standing. Why do illegal aliens have more standing in the US? Louie Gohmert on Pence: 'ignore all electors' and choose a winner as he sees fit' https://t.co/OHbSpEEPnp

3/ Are Mike Pence and the 12th Amendment January 6th the last hope to save the US Republic from becoming the perpetually corrupt US Banana Republic tossed into the waste bin of history?

Federal courts rule that lawsuits for @RealDonaldTrump before election law/constitutional violations are premature and that lawsuits after election law/constitutional violations are too late.

4/ Election fraud increases daily: EXCLUSIVE: Fraudulent Georgia Ballots Were Addressed to Elections Consultant Dwight Brower - The Same Guy Who Reported the Fake Water Main Break and Then Terminated Election Whistleblower via @gatewaypundit https://t.co/RkgSD0wwXf #StopTheSteal
5/ Donald Trump's correct. The Georgia Senate runoffs are illegal and invalid, STILL using illegal Dominion, owned and influenced by hostile foreign election interference, against 2018 EO prohibiting Foreign Election Interference.

Curious - do you think it doesn\u2019t work because it\u2019s obsolete in the social media era, or that it\u2019s impossible to enforce for Fox and Newsmax?

He knows what he is proposing. He knows it is a backdoor. He knows it can entrench and promote white supremacist fascist propaganda forever. He is counting on there being a backdoor when he takes the presidency.
Look at all the calls to police the social media companies for “bias” against conservatives. Look how it propped up the kind of speech that took us to yesterday. “Fairness” and “political neutrality” were euphemisms for forcing platforms to carry propaganda and incitement.
CDA 230 is a sideshow but it’s not an empty one.
There’s a lot of good-hearted and intelligent people who are going to fall for this shit in the coming days. Do not forget where Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz have stood on 230, fairness doctrine, and the like. Do not forget who they were when they took their masks off yesterday.
