On the latest @inthebubblepod, I talk with @SykesCharlie, founder and editor of @BulwarkOnline, about the emergence of Ron DeSantis as the presumptive leader of the far right wing of the Republican Party. Here are my takeaways in a 🧵
Listen here: link.chtbl.com/InTheBubble?si… 1/
“Ron DeSantis ​​is taking the politics of being a bully to a different level,” Sykes tells me. “He’s decided he's going to move as hard and demagogically to the right as he can. He’s learned something from Donald Trump: you don’t need to be a nice guy.” 2/
Sykes says DeSantis is exploiting the culture wars in order to tap into Republicans’ grievances, and that the GOP sees the Florida governor as a “younger, smarter” but equally combative replacement for Trump. But DeSantis stands out from other conservatives for a reason. 3/

Some thoughts on using Twitter:
With Musk inviting back people who use the platform to threaten rape, to lie at scale & become whatever else his whims decide, here are some actions worth considering …
-Mute all advertisers in your feed. I’m not going to be a revenue source & don’t want those who advertise here to be encouraged.
-If you have a lot of followers or post a lot, consider moving the bulk of your content elsewhere. Post looks promising. (I’m @ASlavitt there.)
-I’m also on Mastadon to check it out & until Post is done with its waitlist & will eventually pick one.
-I continue to occasionally check the news feed here & promote things on Twitter minimally & will cross-post for a short time as people decide what they want to do.

COVID Update: It’s time for one as we look ahead to the winter.

The real question is whether we will have another 2021 with a lot of disruption— on a more modest wave— or nothing at all.

There is early data to help answer this question. 1/
Currently there are lots of Omicron sub-variants co-circulating around the globe.

Household names like:
BA.4.6
BQ1.1
XBB

While it’s all a little hard to follow, there’s something interesting about the nature of these variants. 2/
Variants:
1- These are all variants of Omicron. This is good. Better than dealing with a Delta variant emerging. Makes progression more closely resemble the flu.
2- Each are growing in different parts of the world without 1 being dominant. We could have a mix this winter.3/

NEW: COVID vaccines will now be recommended annually, with the flu shot.

I spoke to the White House yesterday about the plan. 1/
Rather than an ad hoc schedule which confuses many as to when to get vaccinated, the thinking is that an annual shot will result in many more people getting vaccinated.

They point to 2/3 of adults who take the flu vaccine vs 1/3 of adults over 50 who have been taking COVID. 2/
We have infrastructure, outreach, and habits that can be capitalized to get people their flu and COVID vaccines together.

This is the prime benefit.

But of course it comes with some questions they are preparing to address. 3/

COVID Update: When will we have new boosters and when should we take them.

I’ve asked 5 of our top scientists & policy leaders and here are answers and other COVID news (good and bad). (1)
The new boosters are bivalent vaccines. Ancestral strain plus Omicron. The idea is broad protection from a virus that is strayed quite a lot. (2)
Pfizer’s vaccine will be ready first— the first week to 10 days of September is the best estimate.

Moderna will follow the first week in October. (3)

Over time, the climate legislation which Congress passed has the potential to become one of the most popular pieces of legislation ever passed.

Rivaling Social Security and Medicare.

The reasons include __things, many of which don’t meet the eye. 1/
1- The first reason is simple. As younger generations grow older, they will mark the shift in the slowing of carbon emissions to this bill.

Floods, fires, heat waves, and rising sea levels won’t abate. We are not cooling. 2/
2- The changes to people’s lives to improve the climate will not require the sacrifice the GOP has long stated.

Heat pumps at home, a renewable grid & electric cars require no sacrifice to people’s lives.

Yes people can still eat hamburgers. 3/
