It's a new year and a new platform for sharing. Substack isn't new but it's a new venue for me. I'll add more as the weeks go by. bytemarks.substack.com/
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

This. Thank you to another leader in Congress calling on her colleagues to keep affordable broadband available for some 23M households - urban, rural, red, and blue!
Broadband is a basic need. My #SOTU guest Briteny Xu understands that.
In NY-06 the Affordable Connectivity Program has provided affordable & reliable internet to 62k constituents, including Briteny.
With funding running out quickly, Congress must take action & save the ACP.
Thinking of my friend Steve on his birthday — the lives he touched, the vision he shared, and the profound impact he had on our world. “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why else even be here?”
