This month, we ran 4 interviews investigating 4 Congressional support agencies. Together, I think they're a great primer to the back end of the legislative branch.
Today's installment looks at how the GAO investigates waste, fraud, and abuse (1/4)

Of the 0.0033% of vaccinated people who died of Covid, almost 80% had 4 or more underlying health conditions.
Note that this study covers most of 2021, before Omicron.
A new CDC analysis found that severe illness and death from Covid were extremely rare in vaccinated people. Among 1,228,664 fully vaccinated people across the US, 185 (0.015%) had severe illness and 36 (0.0033%) died. Covid vaccines are extremely safe and remarkably effective.

Jack blamed downranking on the “ranking algorithms,” when in fact it was happening manually, and he was on the board doing it
We’d love to open up how our ranking algorithms make decisions. We’re thinking about how to do that, without informing bad-faith actors how to manipulate our systems to artificially amplify a tweet’s reach into places like replies, trends and search. Might be a way to earn trust.
