@CDCDirector

That was a really helpful, useful interview Rachel did with @CDCDirector tonight. You can watch the whole thing here: on.msnbc.com/2QkKYcu

But also, for ease of consumption and sharing, we're going to post it in pieces in a thread below.

(text for reference, not verbatim)

Maddow: How sure are you about this new guidance?

CDC Director Dr. Walensky: We're sure.

Maddow: Is it safe for a vaccinated person to sit indoors unmasked at work next to a maskless unvaccinated person?

CDC Director Dr. Walensky: Safe for the vaccinated person. Not safe for the unvaccinated person.

Maddow: Is any particular vaccine notably better about stopping breakthrough infections?

CDC Director Dr. Walensky: Studies are ongoing but they all do what they were supposed to do.

Maddow: Under what circumstances should we still get tested?

CDC Director Dr. Walensky: Fully vaccinated people should get tested if they have symptoms.

Maddow: Why is there an exception for transit?

CDC Director Dr. Walensky: Travel policy is a separate thing that involves other agencies, so changes will come after collaboration with other agencies.

Maddow: What about kids under 12 who can't get vaccinated yet?

CDC Director Dr. Walensky: We have to treat them as unvaccinated. Same mitigation strategies apply.

Maddow: Be patient and compassionate with each other as we deal with another period of change.

🧵 Rachel Maddow: "I have a question for business people, or for business-minded people, or even just for people who say that business issues and economic issues are their main concern. That's what's driving them as they think about this election." (1/10)

For people who consider their vote to be a business decision, do they mean, "Who will do a better job handling the economy?" Because... (2/10)

Or maybe your business decision when it comes to this election is more specific. "Maybe it's about the deficit. Maybe you're a fiscal hawk and that's the basis of your business decision that you're making about who to support here." (3/10)

. @jonstewart decries the way right-wing media insulates Republican viewers to keep Republican politicians from accountability. "There's an information silo."

@jonstewart

"Y'know they keep talking about, boy, there's a recruitment problem in the Army because of the pronouns they're using. It's not the pronouns. It's that young people see that this government doesn't live up to its obligations to its fighters. It's as simple as that." @jonstewart
