Huh — Marjorie Taylor Greene says she doesn't want "to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he…tried to destroy me."

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

Fundraisers warn of ‘catastrophic’ drop in donations to Gaza since ceasefire
‘The world thinks Palestinians don’t need help any more,’ aid organiser says, despite desperate need as winter nears
Fundraisers collecting for Palestinian civilians in Gaza are seeing a “catastrophic” drop-off in donations since the ceasefire was announced in October.
Donations collected by volunteers and funnelled to needy families living in temporary shelters and struggling with illness, hunger and malnutrition have been harder to raise since then, according to organisers, many of whom have been running volunteer initiatives for Palestinians in Gaza on third-party crowdfunding platforms over the past two years.
