23andMe’s bankruptcy is concerning, and I am urging New Yorkers to take action to safeguard their data from being sold.

I’m. Not. Style savvy. But somehow I feel the need to comment. I use a subscription service to buy new clothes and I have a Pinterest page they look at to buy for me. I put together my board from a search for the season, the year “fashion” and “curvy” so I don’t get a feed full of razor thin AI’s.

what do you do if your senator is Chuck Schumer? 🤦‍♀️

A post from Senator Schumer reads: “Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort. But Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their Continuing Resolution without any input from Congressional Democrats. Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to pass the House CR. Our caucus is unified on a clean 30-day CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass. We should vote on that.”

Keep calling! Senate Dems are listening to us! But the pressure on them to change their minds in the next couple of days will be huge. Keep calling. Thank your Democratic senator for being strong and tell them to stay that way.

Nice job y’all!

#ContinuingResolution

Assuming this ends in shutdown, now it’s a pure information war. Dems need to be everywhere. Trump wants permission to continue his open-ended war on social security, veterans, and cancer research. Permission denied. Etc.

When the shut down happens, how can we get more truth out there about why? I know republicans/Trump are going to spin this in a way that makes it look bad for Democrats.

Trump promised: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.”

Well today is day 23, and prices are up.

Promise broken.

Welcome to the age of Trumpflation.

How so?

Is there an alternative to google in terms of a search engine or email?

Soft diplomacy (as I understand it) means that we help other countries out and get their good favor, spreading our influence in places that otherwise might turn to Russia or China for help. USAID is very much serving our self interest.

For the money we spend on foreign aid, we create soft diplomacy abroad, curb epidemics that if left without assistance could grow to the level that they spread further and put us at risk and help reduce the effects of famine.

A breakdown of federal spending from treasury.gov It's arranged by the top 10 categories on the first page and the different agencies on the second page. Please note that foreign humanitarian aid doesn't make it on this list and in fact is less than 1% of the federal budget.

The Senate GOP budget resolution is a clear betrayal of all working families

They're prepared to gut health care like Medicare & Medicaid, raise the cost of higher ed, jeopardize countless jobs

And that's all to pay for a costly tax giveaway to the ultra-wealthy & corporations

How will this be enforced?

Does anyone else think that Trump just created a trade war and said the horrendous things about taking over Gaza to distract from Elon Musk and his hackers illegally taking over the US treasury and in the midst of attempting a coup?

Elon Musk tweet: We spent the wekend feeding USAID

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

hmmm…
