@NotabilityApp can't access notes after update, "due to permission changes." Kind of a drag when I'm trying to work.

@FitbitSupport are you having trouble with sync data today? I'm getting bare-bones sleep data, no stress management score, no readiness score, no cardio load data

@M_Weatherly was so looking forward to watching TIVA but it seems Paramount+ is giving in to the administration to preserve it's merger, so I will not watch it. Bummer, but 🤷‍♀️

@RadioFreeTom Strange to me that news orgs don’t follow the actual economy— as opposed to what politicians say about the economy and people’s perceptions about the exonomy.

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

@brianstelter And will MSM start reporting accurately on the economy, rather than just reporting on what political candidates say about the economy and what people perceive about the economy?

@SusanLagrandma @GLFOP Glad I now know who FOP endorses.

@8WithaTiara 💙 not a state but checking in from Washington, DC

If I had a nickel for each time I’ve said, “what does [fill in the blank] know that we don’t know?” over the past 2 weeks… This article rings true for many of us in DC https://t.co/gBYxOir4zo

Today was grocery shopping day. Gave up @WholeFoods. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

@jaketapper @nytmike Like you performed “oversight” at the presidential debate??

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

@AshleyRParker Surprising indeed. Never thought that WaPo would cower in darkness, which is where (I’m told) democracy dies. I cancelled.

Flashback to when the Washington Post editorial board had the courage to endorse a noise ordinance to silence labor protests outside the Post offices

We’ll need to cancel our @amazon subscriptions and purchases as well @JeffBezos

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

An endorsement of Kamala Harris was drafted by Post staffers but had yet to be published, according to sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, according to the same sources. https://t.co/WC9fovTcvB

The Philadelphia Inquirer shouldering the responsibility of a free press in a democratic society.

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

Just cancelled my subscription to @washingtonpost News media are supposed to be the bulwark against dictatorship. @washingtonpost & @latimes have used all the privileges that come with being a publisher in a democracy. They’ve shed their responsibilities.

On political endorsement https://t.co/e5OTZhylIE

This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

@JustinWolfers @crampell @zhoyoyo Or they care less about policy than they do about other things

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

I cannot bear to respond to another
@doodletweet scheduling poll. Just got my 7th request today. It's just too many.

[Lori Brainard @LoriBrainard]

.⁦@washingtonpost⁩ didn’t include their own home, Washington, DC, in its risk assessment options 😂 https://t.co/N2E9nDxsmx
