Having lived in Serbia during Fulbright, I am excited to announce opportunity. Interested in learning about the Balkans, drink rakiya, visit Sarajevo, Tito's Bunker or a 16th-century Ottoman-era bridge? Share with networks that may be interested such topics. #professionaldevelopment #geography

Not a fan of Hochul but more of this please and thanks.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Every day doesn’t need a headline.
Happy Tuesday.

New coal leases in the Powder River Basin have been paused after the first one had only a bid for 1/10th of a penny. They are trying to blame previous administrations, but the writing is on the wall. We should be supporting coal workers and communities not doing wtf this clown show is doing.

Last year's flu season was brutal-280 kids died. That came amid a drop in flu vax rates among vulnerable groups. Convincing people to get the flu shot has always been hard-under RFK, doctors' job got much tougher. Anyway: it's October, get your flu shot! My latest for @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁):

Reminds me of the Jon Stewart @thedailyshow.com episode (2014) million ways to die.
