I was someone praising Newsom for having some fighting spirit in him last year - eg vs DeSantis - but can’t really take him seriously after this, especially as he seems not to have pushed back on Kirk on a number of issues.

Private Equity has destroyed America. Anything it touches is destined to be pillaged until it breaks or is useless.

🚨INVESTIGATION: Private equity firms are looting the New Deal's affordable housing program. They're taking cash for low-interest mortgages & siphoning it into their investments jacking up rents, evictions & foreclosures - while offering no mortgages.

Yep. There is no Social Security fraud

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

"Caitlin I like what you say about Gaza but I HATE what you say about Ukraine!" Okay well that's because you're only partially awake to the abuses of the western empire. Gaza is much, much easier to understand than Ukraine. You've still got a lot of learning to do.

Cowards. Republicans always talk about active government and yada yada but when the voters come to talk..they run or kick them out.

The US was always going to end its support for Ukraine. If it wasn't Trump doing it it'd be someone else. This only looks like a shocking betrayal to people who thought the US really was backing Ukraine to protect democracy. It's not okay for grown adults to believe such things.

Next newsletter on wheresyoured.at I believe, outside of ChatGPT, that the combined generative AI industry is smaller than Pokémon Go at its peak, with apps like Gemini and Copilot having less than 20 million monthly active users. These unprofitable, unsustainable apps are also deeply unpopular.

Hey all. This is just a reminder. Take care of yourselves. Take time to breathe. Go for a walk. Talk to family and friends. Play a game. Watch a show. Be mindful of your stress levels. Withdraw if you need to. Then come back to the fight. Love y’all.
