The annual Pokey awards are handed out to bus routes known for being notoriously slow — and for the first time anyone can remember, the New York City Transit president appeared. “I’m sorry I didn’t wear a black tie to accept the award." https://t.co/pnfWrmjJdr — PolitiTweet.org

Since Republican-led passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, residents haven't been able to deduct more than $10,000 of state and local taxes from federal returns — and New Jerseyans pay some of the highest state and local taxes in the U.S. https://t.co/HjQ0NtglzM — PolitiTweet.org

There is a risk of stigmatization from only referencing sex and LGBTQ communities when discussing monkeypox transmission. In NYC, about 3% of cases have happened in people who identify as straight and nearly 30% didn’t list their sexual orientation. (6/6) https://t.co/4MZlcZowXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Researchers say that despite the fact that monkeypox spreads via intimate behavior, the U.S. is shying away from discussing it due to a "singular American prudishness, which has hampered and continues to hamper efforts to control STIs." (5/6) https://t.co/4MZlcZowXQ — PolitiTweet.org

All that said, sexual health precautions — such as wearing condoms and limiting partners — can help tame monkeypox and its outcomes. Sexual health clinics have been at the forefront of the outbreak response and may need more resources. (4/6) https://t.co/4MZlcZowXQ — PolitiTweet.org

“Sexually transmitted infections are defined as such because their primary route of transmission is sexual,” says Dr. Leslie Kantor said, meaning it is driven by sexual fluids or lesions on the genitals. Monkeypox is spread via skin-to-skin contact. (3/6) https://t.co/4MZlcZowXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Public health experts are pointing to past epidemics as examples to help explain why monkeypox isn't a sexually transmitted infection ⁠— at least not by the classic definition. (2/6) https://t.co/4MZlcZowXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone can get monkeypox, given it’s known to transmit via physical contact with bodily fluids or skin lesions that can form all over the body. But could the STD label help provide better care — since most cases have been linked to sexual activity? (1/6) https://t.co/4MZlcZowXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Epidemiologist Dr. Don Weiss was removed from his post as director of surveillance at the New York City health department’s Bureau of Communicable Disease shortly after he criticized the city’s messaging around monkeypox. Now, he wants to be reinstated. https://t.co/zHQ1uOcsgf — PolitiTweet.org

Healthy people can adapt during a heat wave—go into the shade, turn on the A/C, have a drink of water. A person with Alzheimer’s disease can’t make those decisions on their own. “We really need our brain to be working fully to balance all these things.” https://t.co/UtlyvSLOKI — PolitiTweet.org
