HHS @SecBecerra has tested positive for COVID-19 again, the agency just announced. Last time he tested positive was May 18, after attending the G-7 Summit.

2) #BA5 and #BA4 are worrisome. They are surging and they have high reinfection potential. Your past BA1/BA2 doesnât substantially protect you from #Ba5/4
\U0001f4c8Surging #BA5 & #BA4 variants in both US & England. It\u2019s looking like #Ba5 is the new fastest strain\u2014which has ~10x increased in England in 1 month. Also notice that older #Omicron #B11529/#BA1 are already near *extinct*. I worry the \u201cnew\u201d Omicron BA1 bivalent vaccine is behind. pic.twitter.com/kLNH0gzPk3

3) Excess deathsâthe new #BA4 & #BA5 variants of the coronavirus are currently the **fastest growing** strains in the US & UK. âĄïžThey are exponentially replacing all other past strains. Learn from South Africaâs early warning signs and their excess deaths. #CovidIsNotOver #COVID
To anyone pointing to South Africa to suggest the impact of the omicron wave has been 'mild' or that the BA.4/5 haven't had much impact, I'd urge you to look at excess deaths. 29,500 excess deaths since Jan (omicron wave) & a peak of 1,844 excess deaths/wk during BA.4/5 wave.\U0001f9f5 pic.twitter.com/r7kLzmD5dG

4) Is it a Paxlovid rebound for Becerra, as some are asking? UnclearâPaxlovid rebound usually only happens at day 10-14 that we know of and have data. The FDA says itâs 1-2% rebound but I counted 12% from this Pfizer graph submitted to FDA.
4) Look at these 97 Paxlovid patients here with viral RNA load data over time. Of 97, i conservatively counted at least 12 of 97 (12%) with viral load rebound after day 10. Even more if you count rebound after day 5. Thus, FDA\u2019s 1-2% doesn\u2019t match up here. https://t.co/bNoqj5W3Sk pic.twitter.com/B3Kh0Lc1A4

5) and yes, #ba5 / #BA4 are very problematic. they are 2x more resistant than even BA2 for neutralizing the virus compared to those who had breakthrough reinfections from older Omicron.
Unfortunately neutralization experiments found that BA.4/5 is 2x more resistant than BA.2 to the blood obtained from vaccinated individuals who had a breakthrough infection with BA.1 or BA.2. 4/ pic.twitter.com/MEOPXuqTgg

Wonder if MTG still pays her lawyer, Passantino, via shell company, Elections, LLCđ€
If not, maybe itâs because WISCONSIN âfraudulent electorâ Andrew Hitt @MichaelBestLaw was subpoenaed by @January6thCmte

The 14th amendment is the one that basically says, if you engaged in insurrection, you canât hold public office.
@RepZoeLofgren has released this doc.
https://t.co/u4qL3j2d5l
Please read it or just follow along in the thread below. (But read it, to form your own conclusions)
The document outlines 121 Members of Congress social media posts. It shows their name, district, state, committees they sit on (ie armed services, intelligence đ) and social media posts they sent before, during, and after the Insurrection. I place them into one of 4 categories:
After being reported to the FBI and IRS (not sure who did that... \U0001f608) -- Greg Locke says he's "hired an attorney" and "dissolved Global Visions 501(c)(3) status". And continued obsessing over dirty socks... \U0001f922

Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who was mentioned by name in Sen. Lana Theis' fundraising email, points out that campaign rhetoric can have real world consequences.
What I need the lobby corps to know: Grappling with a colleague accusing you of grooming children, the types of QAnon claims that led a gunman to open fire on a DC pizza place believing that he was saving children, makes it impossible to focus on your client's bills.

Sen. Lana Theis' fundraising email accusing Sen. Mallory McMorrow of grooming seems to be backfiring.
McMorrow's response on the Senate floor now has 3.5 million views and counting, with fundraising links in the replies, after Hillary Clinton shared a video of the speech. #MILeg
"I know that hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen."
