I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

@caseynewton.bsky.social Hi, Casey. I think there is something really wrong with AWS. Last last week was the public blackout, but still major issues over there. AWS deactivated my *paying* account over a password concern, and I can’t get help. My case from 10/24/25 unassigned. Scoop!

@awscloud.bsky.social Urgent problem. AWS deactivated an account over a password issue for an active, paying customer. I can’t get anyone to respond to my open cases. I have 4 open cases and all have been unassigned. It suggests to me that something very serious is happening at the company.

I think there’s something else going on with AWS right now. Major problems with their hosting of my website and absolutely zero attention. We’re just a small fish so I assume there are bigger problems going on now.
there’s a major AWS outage going on right now that’s taken down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, Perplexity, Roblox, and lots more of the internet. US-EAST-1 is down and impacting a lot of services that rely on AWS www.theverge.com/news/802486/...

If basic income comes to pass, employers will end up devoting a lot more money to develop their employees. There will be a massive shift from trying to dominate the workforce to growing it. The irony is that owners will actually make more money because their employees will be more engaged.
They know people will work. But they know basic income means people will be less inclined to put up with workplace abuse and most workplaces are abusive.
People say nobody will work if they have basic income etc but honestly the super rich stay distressingly active
