Hello

As “Ricky Vaughn” he disparaged black people as “feral” N-words, he regularly shared anti-Semitic propaganda reminiscent of Nazi Germany — he was convicted of election interference for memes prosecutors say were meant to trick Democrats into thinking they could vote by text.

Trump is defending him, Trump Jr. called his account “maybe my favorite Twitter account of all time.”

! I am throwing out the first pitch at next week’s Red Sox game on Friday in honor of my daughter, who died of infant brain cancer. We’ve fundraised $130,000 this year for Dana-Farber and would love your help to hit our goal of $150,000 before the game. https://profile.pmc.org/AK0302

Hello friends

We are coming up on what should be Francesca's third birthday. You never "get over" the grief of such a loss, but learn to somehow live around it.

We'd be grateful for your support in building in her memory the Infant Brain Tumor Program by donating $11 at TeamBeansPMC.com

NEW: Though he doesn’t talk about it anymore, in his 2012 race Ron DeSantis said he supported privatizing Medicare and said we should do “the same thing” to Social Security.

His office declined to comment on his current position on the programs. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/09/politics/kfile-ron-desantis-privatize-social-security-medicare/index.html

Looking for tips for finding more people to follow for news. Twitter seems like it's slowly dying.

Thinking about my beautiful first daughter on World Cancer Day. She taught me so much. The Infant Brain Tumor Program is closing in on $3 million raised in her memory for childhood cancer research. You can support her legacy at TeamBeansFund.com

what's good mastodon?

Rep. George Santos was alerted to fraud at the "Ponzi scheme" he worked at more than a year before it was shut down. At same time, he boasted publicly of massive returns for customers and managing a $1.5 billion fund. My report on AC360.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped us raise more than $1 million for childhood cancer research at Dana-Farber this year! We raised $33,000 for the Infant Brain Tumor Program in the last week.

You can still donate before midnight for your '22 taxes.

With more than $600,000 raised, Team Beans 2022 Boston Marathon team became the #1 highest fundraising team across all internal Jimmy Fund events in *history* this year.

NEW: We uncovered many more falsehoods from George Santos — including giving a fake Jewish name he appeared to do GoFundMes under, claims he was removed from a fancy NYC private school, and claims he repped Goldman Sachs at a finance conference (and more). https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/28/politics/george-santos-false-claims-kfile/index.html

Two years ago we lost Francesca to brain cancer.

She loved balloons, Elmo, and smiling at all the doctors and nurses she met. Her short life and death changed me forever and taught me a love I will never forget. I think about her everyday and we miss her tremendously.

Please consider honoring her with a donation Dana-Farber in her memory through the Team Beans Fund which supports the Infant Brain Tumor Program.

Tomorrow is two years since we lost Beans to brain cancer. We'd be honored in having your support in remembering her with a $24 donation to the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund.

Every dollar directly supports childhood cancer research at Dana-Farber.
