That CDC, they just keep surprising us with half-baked recommendations! See what happens when you give right-wing political appointees the final word on policy?
Seems not at all suspicious that the CDC released a “just send the kids to school” paper on a Thursday night with no writing credits attached https://t.co/dOOCPKYvRI

The biggest issue with Trump’s politicization of agencies is that we’ve lost trust. That means even if the science supported the CDC guidance to open schools, Americans can’t TRUST that its good faith science supported guidance and not a bow to WH demands.

I was surpised at how little attention was given to the topic of community spread. I couldn’t sleep one night thinking about this and started writing this essay arguing the opposite. It’s a choice between bad and historically tragic. https://t.co/krmm3DDO0k

Together, we can open schools safely. This fall, school may look different in some communities b/c of #COVID19 – as face masks, distancing, & hand hygiene meet bookbags & homework. New CDC tools will help us make decisions for the upcoming school year. https://t.co/efgarAsMeq pic.twitter.com/jf284y1XGZ

Here’s why what the Yankees did today was a slap to their Black and Brown and LGTBQ employees and fans. The many good people who work for that organization do not deserve this.
At least others around the game were disgusted.https://t.co/cUiaUxoqIe— Andy Martino (@martinonyc) July 24, 2020

The NYT, which would not use the words when Ted Yoho spoke them, uses them tonight to quote @AOC--and it describes HER behavior, not his, as "disruptive" and a "norm-shattering moment," one that it implies is about "amplifying her own brand."
