"Screen time" research (like this) always seems to be about kids' use of screens, but as a toddler parent w a phone addiction, I think my own use of screens is as consequential as hers & it's weird that in an era of personal electronic devices, we focus on just one side of the interaction's screens

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

📌NOTE: Pay attention to these relentless attacks on @apnews.com by the authoritarians in the White House, who are trying to bury us in dangerous propaganda. 📌AP is a straight-down-the-middle news source, which keeps its eye on power. Much of the media uses their stuff because it is rock-solid.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

“Just The Way You Are” wins Song & Record of the Year today in 1979. “It wasn’t an instant hit,” said Joel. When opening for the Doobie Bros, “we almost didn’t play it,” but “the place went insane. ‘That’s the guy who does that song!’ We all looked at each other. From then on it was up and up.”
