AI is expected to replace 20% of jobs in the next decade. How do we make sure people have support when their work disappears — and with it their access to medical benefits and retirement savings? Centrist Democrats, please look to the left! Hope NYC is making that choice right now. 🙏

My broken record: I’m sure you many of you read and follow some independent or nonprofit media.

If you haven’t, make sure to choose at least one that you really enjoy & become a supporter, subscriber, or donor to help sustain them!

Elon Musk’s apparent power play at the Copyright Office completely backfired Trump fired the head of the Copyright Office over the weekend.

Feeling more optimistic about this than I did over the weekend.

I suspect it was a political decision. If they held him this weekend, how many would have gone to protest? It would have made him a national star.

This is so terrible for the American people.

This video is outstanding. 😂

I’m not sure, they sent it out when they hit 10 million. Sorry!

I came here to say this in a much less clever way. 😂

Pappas: What I’m hearing from small businesses is that things are getting more expensive. Eighty-eight percent of small businesses import products—

So that’s driving up costs.

It’s a huge tax—not only on our small businesses, but on the American public.

AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists A federal judge has ordered the White House to restore The Associated Press’ full access to cover presidential events.

Yes!! Please NYC keep Cuomo out. 🙏 I’ll do my part.

Yes, me too! I’ve met people with the most outstanding gifts that definitely live outside of the measurement of a typical IQ test.

Your original comment was about literacy. Republicans are not the reason literacy levels are down in the US. But they did play a huge role in why American students lag behind in science.

Dems in Congress blocked Bush’s agenda. It is in episode three of the podcast. Creationism hurt ls science teaching for sure, but not literacy.

But we know now, and big blue cities like NYC are finally bringing science-based reading programs back into the curriculum. All the teachers have to be retrained because in this time teachers colleges have been turning out graduates that don’t actually know how to teach kids to read.

And unfortunately in this instance the left won.

Basically George Bush was pushing for science-based teaching methods to be used in school. But the left felt much more affinity for a method that lacked any scientific proof of success. So teaching kids to read became a huge political battle, to the detriment of the American people.

Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong There's an idea about how children learn to read that's held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on...

Sure! It is all discussed in episode three:

I hate to tell you but the Democrats played a huge role in the decline of literacy rates. Listen to the podcast Sold A Story. 💔 Republicans still under funded schools, but the real blunder on this is ours to own.

Hey busy day at the office, can someone catch me up on how the group chat fiasco is Biden’s fault?

The kids are alright! My twelve year old son was absolutely gobsmacked. 😶

I don’t think Hochul belongs on that list.

Boycott, hold a rally someplace close. Get a crowd. Pull the press coverage to you & away from the State of the Union.

Trump to rely on forces that brought him to power — Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev agreed that Trump, when he was still a candidate, "made many statements critical of the destructive foreign and domestic policies pursued by the current administration"

"The election campaign is over," Patrushev noted. "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

As a long-time mafia aficionado, I have to say the White House meeting with Zelensky wasn’t mob at all. The mafia is quiet. No cameras. No audience. The real mafia move was a stern reminder to Trump in the days leading up the meeting to “fulfill his obligations” in Russian media.

I had no idea. Ugh.

I can’t believe the people writing op-eds on his behalf. New York City deserves better. Who is next for a comeback- Spitzer & Weiner?!?

It took me some time to come around, but I’m here now. Gov. Kathy Hochul is doing a very good job navigating some extraordinary circumstances.

I was just thinking this morning how much we need her to run. I can’t believe Cuomo is leading in polls. No one decent wants any part of politics anymore.
