For 2nd time in a week my WIFI IS DOWN. It happens way too often, The only explanation is that it's for scheduled maintenance.

Really?
I live in Tornado country. I need wifi to get Alerts.
If a Tornado hits& I'm injured because wifi was down.... What then?

With a population of 8 Billion+ (& counting), on Earth growing healthy food becomes more urgent everyday.

What we do today will be felt for centuries to come, and will be the deciding factor in the question of the survival of Humanity.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Without good soil, crops fail, prices rise, and people go hungry. At the @wef's event Treating Soil as a Precious Resource, we underscored the need to collaborate to protect soil in order to build resilient food systems and endure sustainable agriculture.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Engaged with CEOs of U.S. companies today to affirm our commitment to supporting U.S. businesses abroad. U.S. companies are critical players in core sectors that underpin the global economy and @StateDept is supporting through our commercial diplomacy efforts.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Sat down with @MayorSchieve at the U.S. Conference of Mayors to talk about the power of American cities to advance a stronger and more secure America. Grateful for the partnership of our mayors on addressing challenges like fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Met with Mexican Foreign Secretary @aliciabarcena to discuss the significant progress made addressing the challenges posed by unprecedented irregular migration and forced displacement. Our partnership on migration is crucial to the stability and prosperity of the Americas.

I joined the Ivoirian Foreign Minister for today’s Africa Cup of Nations match against Equatorial Guinea. As a lifelong soccer fan, it was great to feel the energy of all the fans in the arena.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Art is a powerful tool for diplomacy. It gives us space to express ourselves, to see one another, to build a sense of community. Quite simply, art breaks down barriers and brings people together.

I had a great visit to the Nike Art Gallery in Lagos today.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

We welcome Turkish President Erdogan’s signature of the Articles of Ratification for Sweden’s @NATO membership. We look forward to receiving the instruments in Washington and welcoming Sweden as NATO’s 32nd Ally. Sweden and the Alliance are stronger together.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Pleased to announce Angola is joining as an early partner in our Vision for Adaptive Crops and Soils @FeedtheFuture initiative, which responds to climate change and the global food crisis by investing in climate-resilient, nutritious crop varieties and healthy, fertile soils.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Pleased to meet with Sigrid Kaag, who is leading @UN efforts on humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

We are working closely with her, and with Israel and Egypt, to maximize aid getting into Gaza. Her mission could not be more vital, and we strongly support it.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

Met with UK Defense Secretary @grantshapps today to discuss support for Ukraine, freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Red Sea, and the recent attack on U.S. forces in Jordan. The United States will hold accountable those responsible for the attack.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

The need for bold action to tackle the climate crisis is more urgent than ever. I can think of no one better than John Podesta to make sure we keep meeting the gravity of this moment.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

We welcome the restoration of the power-sharing government in Northern Ireland. A stable, devolved government will help preserve peace and prosperity for the people of Northern Ireland.

[Katherine. Merritt @KathrenMerritt]

@SecBlinken Needless to say-
Democracy is Under Fire & Humanity Will Pay the Price.

America Must Have a Strong Leader... w/out the self-serving Bad Habits of Modern Politicians.
