Something I learned from 20yrs covering government:
One person’s “waste” is:
- another person’s lifeline;
- another person’s hometown infrastructure;
- another person’s pathway to college;
- another person’s road to a better life;
- another person’s future medical breakthrough.

"Resort fees" for a pool towel and fax access!!
What a deal!!!
It's time we end bogus junk fees from hotel, cell phone, and car rental companies.

NYC’s next head of Dept of Consumer & Worker Protection will be @saalevine.
As you can tell from my story with him 2yrs ago, he is unapologetically anti-junk fee and pro-consumer rights.

5/x Junk Fee strategy 1: ENFORCEMENT
@FTC & other fed agencies are issuing huge fines to worst junk fee offenders, one industry at a time.
"We hope it sends a message to other companies in the industry that these types of practices are not going to be tolerated."

Some of the most emotional & meaningful storytelling of my (previous) career:

A short 🧵 about how great storytelling is a game-changer, regardless of your industry.
And it starts with a program I learned about my first day on the job at @CrimJusticeNYC six months ago…

6) 🤝 Following the graduation, we facilitated a series of conversations between the mayor’s team and our program partners.
We highlighted the success… 🏆
We highlighted the ROI… 📈
We highlighted the stories. 🫶🏼
City hall was sold.✅

7) The end result? @NYCMayor just announced a massive investment & expansion in our program.
Exciting for me, but life-changing for the 300 New Yorkers who’ll benefit from the program in FY26.
Proud of NYC🗽, my @CrimJusticeNYC team, and of storytelling that makes a difference!

Nearly 90% of US voters don’t get a say in the balance of power in Congress.
Many seem committed to increasing that number.
Gerrymandering is a uniquely American problem that ends up disenfranchising tens of millions of American voters.
NBCLX Political Editor @NoahPransky used his favorite candy to explain what it is and how it may be solved.

☎️Most of us learned in grade school how the game of “telephone” is arguably the single worst way to transmit information.☎️
Yet more Americans now trust this method of news delivery than any other source.
2024 was the year I realized good information was dead.🧵

Just your occasional reminder that so much of what you hate about politics is due to the Gerrymandering that ~40 states refuse to curb.

Pizza slices shouldn't look like this.
And neither should congressional districts. (thread)

Roses are red;
Violets are blue.
If social media's your top source of news,
...an algorithm’s manipulating you.
31 Dec 2024
2) In short, we have outsourced a large percentage of our critical thinking to algorithms.
Every one of us.
We are letting algorithms – that are not incentivized to inform, but to maximize profits through agitation – to be our gatekeepers for which news & facts we see.

IN CONCLUSION: Information from your friend/family/plumber is not the same as information from real news orgs.
And abandoning the guardrails/gatekeepers that have provided quality information for generations will not result in a more informed public.

At this point, as the quality of information on social media continues to fall, I'm hopeful it might help ppl recognize how bad social media is as a source of news.
Then, maybe they'll realize how much better the info is from traditional outlets?
Hopeful...but not too hopeful.
