Thread with facts about this move.
ERS & NIFA don’t need to be “close to producers” as farmers are not their stakeholders. Their stakeholders are Congress, USDA policy officials, & researchers, all of which reside in DC & who use their research to create policy for the benefit of farmers.
👇
As Laura Dodson, a USDA researcher has said, “We do a national level of research. Suggesting we could be better researchers seeing a single cornfield in one state is wrong. We are in service of national agriculture, we service all, not just one region or a specific few.”

Harvard U research “said a voter-registration page on the .@MissouriSOS website was among those ‘vulnerable to voter identity theft attacks’ by impostors who obtained various personal information.”
.@JayAshcroftMO “called the work a ‘bad study’...”

“doesn't believe” hackers could meddle

has “a lot of confidence” in our systems

expects MO elections “to remain secure”

“can’t see (hacking) happening”

doesn’t “have the sense that” the system was hacked

is “unaware of any attempt to hack”

👇
refuses to say “whether Missouri has undergone a risk & vulnerability assessment” with @DHSgov

says .@MissouriSOS Information Technology “makes it more difficult for people to know what we're doing." That’s oddly worded.

This is an excellent plan, and I'm honored to have worked with a fantastic group of disability activists to consult on its development. A few highlights amidst its many details:

#CripTheVote
While the SSI program was designed to protect seniors and people with disabilities from poverty, benefit levels have long been abysmally low. @ewarren promises to fight to raise SSI benefits to the Federal Poverty Level- that's a very big deal.
@ewarren SSI has also long been subject to draconian asset and income restrictions. This plan proposes to eliminate the SSI asset test and significantly raise the amount disabled people on both SSI and SSDI can earn without losing benefits. #CripTheVote

Elizabeth Warren has just announced her new plan for Protecting the Rights & Equality of People with Disabilities.

It's a phenomenal plan and I'd very much like to tell you what it means to me: love

ewar.ren/disability-rig…
Today, Elizabeth Warren promises that when she's president, she will fight to tear down the barriers that keep disabled Americans — including me — from marrying.

Elizabeth, from both @cosetthetable & me, thank you.

As someone who has struggled with debilitating chronic illness since childhood, I've relied on Supplemental Security Income (SSI), 1 of 2 programs that make up @SocialSecurity's disability safety net. (The other is SSDI.)

If I marry my love, I'd lose SSI

People with disabilities are still fighting for economic security, equal opportunity, and inclusion—and they’re not fighting alone. As president, I'll partner with the disability community to combat ableism and fight for justice across all aspects of life. elizabethwarren.com/plans/disabili…
Disability activists have organized for years to fight injustice. 2020 marks the 30th anniversary of the ADA, and though we've made significant progress, we still have a lot of ground to cover. In my administration, disability rights and equality will be a top priority.
As president, I'll fight for economic security for people with disabilities by rewriting the rules of the economy to end labor market discrimination and exploitation, and foster inclusivity. That starts with fighting for a $15 minimum wage—and ending the shameful subminimum wage.

I have spent much of the last 2 days thinking about the mental health plan from @KamalaHarris and how she could have gotten it so wrong. This thread is about that and what she SHOULD have focused on. #CripTheVote (1)
@KamalaHarris @KamalaHarris was the first candidate to put out a “disability” plan. It had a lot of great stuff about expanding community services, enforcing the rights of people with disabilities to live & work in the community under the Americans with Disability Act & #Olmstead, etc. (2)
@KamalaHarris #Olmstead is a Supreme Court case holding that unjustified segregation of people with disabilities is discrimination under the ADA & that people with disabilities have a civil right to receive services in the community instead of in institutions. bit.ly/2KYu0uD (3)

I was recently interviewed for a politico article, “Native American critics still wary of Warren despite apology tour” that appropriately focused on Cherokee critics’ voices. politico.com/story/2019/08/…
As I expected, most of my lengthy comments didn’t make the article. But that e-mail I sent to the reporter was another opportunity to think some things through.
Here are my thoughts on #ElizabethWarren’s “apology tour” in tweets.
