Looking at all the comments and quote tweet/suggestions for independent media, and I’m wondering, could you all take a look and @ any other indy media shows you would like to see interview @WholeWashington?!
I’ll shout out @PunchUpPod for sure!

Thanks so much @JordanChariton for inviting our campaign director (@CaptainStack) onto @StatusCoup today! We need the support of the #MedicareForAll movement to it on the ballot & for that we need to get the word out! Quote tweet & tag the next show you'd like to see us on!

@doctorow What a great tool! My doctor accepted one "general" payment from a pharma company for food/drink of less than $20, five years ago. Maybe that's why I haven't been offered an opiate prescription.

Finally, in 2019, the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services stepped up and launched the more comprehensive and up-to-date "Open Payments" service. Go check whether your doc is on the take!

I have complex chronic pain, and I've seen a lot of specialists. One of them prescribed long-term opioids for me. I dodged a bullet there, I think. Here's a little story about how hard it is to know whether to trust your doctor when you have a pain condition. 1/

@briebriejoy @matthewstoller The big missing piece from these conversations about Twitter and big tech re: monopoly/antitrust/etc is that we could force them to interoperate with competitors.
@briebriejoy I keep hoping you'll have @doctorow on to talk about it

"Elon Musk is kind of a bullshit artist."
I asked anti-monopoly expert @matthewstoller about Elon Musks's newly announced plans for Twitter, whether his ties to China threaten free speech, section 230, & we had a spicy debate about patriotism vs realism.

@DevDistracted @Grady_Booch @elonmusk I had this explained to me by a former boss a few years ago, that CEOs are all marketing people. The kind of engineering he's doing these days revolves around investor perceptions and stock prices.

@Grady_Booch @elonmusk I think it's meant for an audience of people who aren't software engineers. ;)

Make @Ash_Kalra a household name. He’s the coward that refused to bring #AB1400 to the floor for a vote despite having a supermajority. This is about healthcare for Californians… during a pandemic… corrupt cowards, all of them. #CalCare

Our policy in the US is literally, vaccines are available now, you're on your own. Everyone's going back to normal, put your kids back in daycare/school, go back to work and make widgets so the stock market looks good. We're all going to get it. Stop being a pussy.

My kid goes to a large HS in #Burbank. They've upgraded their filters, but refuse to open the windows. Every one of my kid's classes has one or more kids who won't mask. Every day, we get notifications of double-digit new cases.

@FlipBlue2022 @LucasKunceMO That is such a naive take. Congress gets all sorts of information about coming policy changes well before the general public does, not to mention getting a hand in making those policies. What exactly does insider trading mean in your head?
English
@LucasKunceMO You clearly aren’t interested in fixing insider trading or you’d know the difference between Martha Stewart (who got a very specific tip about one company) and a member of Congress (getting general briefings on key topics).
English
When asked about rampant insider trading in Congress, all Nancy Pelosi could say was, "We’re a free market."
All I heard was: "Let them eat cake."
Why are the rules harsher for you, me, and Martha Stewart than they are for the Speaker of the House?
