I'm excited to announce the launch of Catbird Strategies, a consulting firm focusing on health & human services policy & practice; budget & legislative strategy; IT-related strategic planning; and organizational management & DEI work. More coming soon @ catbirdstrategies.com

@ABCNetwork @TheAcademy would be super if viewers could hear the tidbits the announcer says when the winners are walking to the stage. #turnitup

@DamonUnofficial Def hoping 'Cracker Island' comes on rotation during the tour. Seeing you in Oakland in Oct! Saw Night 2 at Palladium w/my 12 y.o. SO AWESOME

Setlist from Gorillaz warm‑up show in Bradford, night 1

A healthy breakfast is an investment in student success. This #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek, we’re proud to support the programs that help California kids show up ready to learn. 🍎✏️📚 #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek #NSBW #SchoolMealsforAll #SMFA

Yet here we are, with a House Agriculture Committee farm bill that still leaves victims with no way to get their stolen SNAP benefits replaced & still leaves states with an even steeper price tag for more secure payment methods because of H.R. 1's funding cuts.

CAFB urges @RepAdamGrayCA @RepJimCosta @RepCarbajal to vote NO on the House Chairman’s Farm Bill. We must reverse H.R. 1’s SNAP cuts and cost shifts! Read our statement: cafoodbanks.org/statement

The half time show showed the importance of walkable mixed use neighbourhoods. House, bodega, nail salon, Ricky Martin… all in walkable distance.

Watching #Olympic2026 Curling USA-ITA Semis and remembering when I met @Kmartcurl at #SaltLakeCity 2002 & he let me touch his Silver Medal!

On average, "families would have to earn 176.5% more than they do now to meet the federal affordability threshold" 🤯 The solution? Legislation at the state and federal levels that treats #childcare as a public good 👏👏 newsweek.com/american-famil…

@SacPolice We live in the area and saw six cops with lights and sirens coming in from all directions on our way home this evening - could tell it was something major! Thx for posting.

🚨🚨POLICE ACTIVITY: Officers involved in a shooting while responding to a bank robbery in the 1600 block of Response Rd. All officers are physically okay. Please avoid the area. Follow for updates.

Even better at night.

Take Action! States can't absorb the SNAP benefit costs, and administrative burdens shifted to them by H.R. 1. These provisions put access to food at risk for millions. Congress must #stopthatSNAPshift as part of the FY26 appropriations process. Act now: bit.ly/3LBguPR

Jokes aside, understanding the reality of how Americans eat - and how difficult it is for millions to afford even these basics without the help of critical programs like SNAP - seems like it should be a basic requirement for those running the programs.

And this is the 3rd Olympics we are going to be attending - Park City & Vancouver both used CoSport and it was very simple.

Waiting in the waiting room to register for @LA28 tickets then taken right back to the queue once it was my turn - um, tech fail not auspicious start.

@paulmitche11 It's always waiting with a feeling of dread these days with this court, too.

Waiting for the rollout of SCOTUS cases is about the same feeling of waiting for the announcement of the next entrant in the Gov race. You know it’s coming… but what will it mean?

@LA28 @NBCOlympics @Olympics @axs @eventim_usa Your queueing system failed. I waited, it appeared to be my turn, and I was popped into ... the queue again. No place to actually register.

Rise & shine, it's almost time to register for the LA28 Olympic Ticket Draw*! ️ 🌞 Join us at 7:00 am PT to enter the draw. 👩‍💻 *NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT REQUIRED. RESTRICTIONS APPLY. TERMS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. VISIT LA28.ORG ON OR AFTER 1/14/26 FOR OFFICIAL TERMS.

● The harmful SNAP provisions in H.R. 1 will deepen America’s hunger crisis by taking food away from people who need it most — older adults, children, veterans, and people with disabilities. secure.everyaction.com/Wf7TjlCO3kue_A…

@Jack_Hillgrove The best reveal, always.

Front door to the greatest city on the planet hitting a little different tonight

Trump is taking food from families, diapers from babies, and child care from parents — on purpose. This funding freeze is broad, baseless, and illegal. seiuca.org/press-releases…
