I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

@scottwiener.bsky.social, the state should buy the Westfield Mall in San Francisco, now that it's valued at 1/10th of its original value.

The state could use it as an incubator for Retail startups across the state. Give businesses a lease that offers an introductory rate & grows with businesses.

Dozens of reporters returned their badges and walked out Wednesday in response to the Pentagon’s new press restrictions.

FPF’s Advocacy Director @seth-stern.bsky.social describes the premise that unauthorized reporting is a risk to national security as “absurd and baseless.”

Watch him explain why.

Now would be a fantastic way to propose big cuts, & new taxes to reopen the government.

My suggestion is to Reduce Employment Taxes through new taxes on AI and Automation. There is a simple way to tax AI -- Tax all corporate revenue and rebate W-2, W-4, and wages in America.

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.
