The 'new' vaccine push
Monkeypox has been renamed by WHO
The World Health Organization announced Monday that “mpox” is now the preferred name for monkeypox.
“Both names will be used simultaneously for one year while ‘monkeypox’ is phased out,” the organization said.
The Biden administration said it welcomes the change and that the United States will use the mpox name “from this point forward.” Monkeypox was named in 1970, more than a decade after the virus that causes the disease was discovered in captive monkeys, the organization said. But monkeypox probably didn’t start in monkeys — its origin is still unknown — and the virus can be found in several other kinds of animals. The name was created before WHO published best practices for naming diseases in 2015. Scientists and experts have pushed since the start of the recent outbreak to change the name to avoid discrimination and stigma that could steer people away from testing and vaccination. Stigma has been an ongoing concern as the outbreak has largely affected men who have sex with men. In the United States, Black and Hispanic people have been disproportionately affected, data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show. “We must do all we can to break down barriers to public health, and reducing stigma associated with disease is one critical step in our work to end mpox,” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.

Republicans in Arizona, Pennsylvania counties decline to certify midterm election results
Republican officials in two counties in Arizona and Pennsylvania declined on Monday to certify their midterm election results, with some citing broader, baseless concerns about the integrity of the voting system that have become commonplace among conservatives. Republicans on the election boards of Cochise County in Arizona and Luzerne County in Pennsylvania voted against motions to certify the election results there. Though Cochise County residents voted for GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake and GOP Senate nominee Blake Masters, both candidates ultimately lost their statewide races. Luzerne County residents voted for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro and GOP Senate nominee Mehmet Oz, with Shapiro ultimately winning his bid and Oz falling short statewide.

The 'spam' list sounds like 'enemies' list. It's true there are many accounts that have no business breathing on Twitter but who made the list? How was it compiled? Transparency is the best way.
Ron DeSantis Can Steal the 2024 Election—for Himself
There is only one feasible shield against this
Democracy dodged a bullet in this midterm election. Around the country, candidates who rejected the legitimate results of the 2020 election lost races for Congress, for state secretary of state, and most importantly for governor. Kari Lake, an election denier who lost to Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs in the race to be Arizona’s next governor, was the most prominent face among those failed candidates. An election-denying governor represents a cataclysmic threat to American democracy. We should breathe a sigh of relief knowing that she will not wield the power to wreak havoc in our election system.
Yet bullets remain to be dodged. Lake lost by only a fraction of a percentage point, and it would be foolish complacency to assume that Lake or someone else like her won’t win next time. If the nation dips into a real recession in the next few years, if gas prices are just a bit higher in the weeks before Election Day, the antidemocratic political movement may surge once again. But we don’t have to conjure hypotheticals to see the risks that a politician might manipulate the results of the 2024 presidential election. Ron DeSantis, the ascendent governor of Florida and a likely Republican nominee in 2024, has carefully coddled election deniers while refusing to admit that President Joe Biden legitimately won the election in 2020. Under current law, DeSantis may have the chance to reverse the results of the 2024 election almost singlehandedly—and if he wins the nomination, that means he could steal the election for himself. The only feasible shield against that threat is the Electoral Count Reform Act, a bipartisan bill that is pending in the Senate after the House passed similar legislation earlier this fall. Congress must pass this law to guard against a coup attempt on Jan. 6, 2025—one that could succeed where former President Donald Trump’s allies failed after the 2020 election. In an era of overheated rhetoric and intense partisanship, the fate of presidential democracy in America may depend on it.
The process of counting the votes in the Electoral College is currently governed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887, a federal statute passed after the calamitous presidential election of 1876. Three states in the Reconstruction South sent multiple slates of electors, and the two chambers of Congress—divided between Democrats and Republicans—deadlocked on which of the competing slates to count. An ad hoc Electoral Commission ultimately handed the presidency to Republican Rutherford B. Hayes. A decade later, Congress enacted the Electoral Count Act in an attempt to stave off another crisis by providing a legal framework for future Congresses to resolve disputes about counting electoral votes. Until recently, disputed presidential elections found their final resolution in court, most famously in 2000 with the Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore. Vice President Al Gore conceded the election the next day in a nationally televised address, noting that although he disagreed with the court’s decision, he accepted the “finality” of the outcome. Gore even presided over Congress’ count of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2001—including those arising from Florida’s disputed election results.
