From WTOP.com: Trump administration admits a glaring error in its accusations about New York health care fraud
If you live in the State of New York, you should be aware that the State Senate is discussing a bill to require age verification (not just age attestation) on the OS level. You can learn more at https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S8102/amendment/A; go yell at your state senator about it.
If you do not live in New York, you should still be aware of this, since your government is probably considering something similar. And when you do contact your representatives, try not to just tell them that you think the bill sucks (although that's still a lot better than nothing)—tell them what you would do to accomplish the goals _better_. Services on the internet which are harmful to minors are a problem, but the real problem is that those services are harmful to everyone, often with no meaningful way to opt out; so I recommended online consumer protection legislation instead, along with a number of smaller ways to make the currently proposed bill either better or less bad, in hopes that something sticks. Go do the same!

Requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance to determine a user's age category and provide all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications on such user's internet-enabled device and/or application store manufactured by the covered manufacturer with a digital signal that such user is a covered minor as well as the age category of such covered minor via a real-time application programming interface (API).
Yuh-Line Niou (formerly @yuhline, now on bluesky) is running for office again! Campaigning for NY state senator SD-27. I'm not affiliated with her campaign, but I've had respect for her as an elected representative in the NY assembly for years.
This is one of those moments where it seems clear to me the #US #Democrats are owned by the same billionaires as the #Republicans. And the #netizens are not stepping up.
Streets Blog #NYC: Promising E-Bike Subsidy Pilot Is Denied Funding By State Agency - https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/04/promising-e-bike-subsidy-pilot-is-denied-funding-by-state-agency
Why is there no gofundme to fund this?
When we see an obviously worthy project, we can do it, without our corporate-captured governments.
I may not agree with everything that #LouisRossmann puts out, but I do think he's got a lot of valid points and I think that someone like him who did business in #NYC from zero would be a good advisor for #SmallBusiness policies.

live look at bill ackman pretending to care about poor people:
Tom Suozzi (D, NY-03) just voted to fund ICE.
By a strange coincidence, here is the Ballotpedia article about the 2026 NY-03 democratic primary:
Whoever decides to run against Suozzi may get more enthusiastic support than previously expected.
@ChemicalEyeGuy @GhostOnTheHalfShell the funny part is that this new "anti-antisemitism" memecoin isn't even Adams's first New York token pump and dump. He launched #NewYorkCoin back in 2018/2019.
ps i don't think this is a real memecoin. degen bros are not buying this token. i think this is just a way for Adams to collect cash from the people who wanted him to drop out of the election to make way for Cuomo in an untraceable fashion.
