Goodbye, Twitter. Loved you for a long time, but no longer. Angry about your ruination. No successor is quite worthy yet. Hedging bets here: Threads: kvox.threads.net IG: kvox Bluesky: kvox.bsky.social Mastodon: kvox.techhub.social Discord: karenwickre – at San Francisco, CA

Bezos is continuing to sound very optimistic about Trump, saying that Trump has "grown" over the last eight years. "He is calmer than he was the first time β€” more confident, more settled," says Bezos.

Following the VP debate, Tim Walz went from well liked to beloved. JD Vance went from loathed to still not well liked.

The new GOP Speaker has opposed ALL gun safety legislation. He voted against background checks. Against protecting domestic violence victims. Against the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Republican extremism is why America has a gun violence crisis.
While action on the House Floor is stalled, constituent groups are still meeting on the Hill. It was great to catch up with the Women for Gun Rights representatives today to discuss the safeguarding of our Second Amendment rights.

Spotted this lovely window a few days ago at the @sfwarmemorial (Herbst Theatre). Rare to see thanks to scientists in war memorials. #dailywalk #latergram instagr.am/p/CytgDyAvs1W/
