Yes I got that notice, too. No information about why they had my information, particularly my SSN, since supposedly they are printers for undisclosed government account. Medicare?

I've recently added 10 more links to my website, New York #Genealogy Links.

The links were added to the local cemeteries category and the city directories. The website has 18 categories and just passed 1,500 links.

To see these and all the updates, go to: www.newyorkgenlinks.com/updates/

MA has one of the best small-town museums, per USA TODAY. Here's where The museum celebrates revolutionary history in Massachusetts.

Congratulations to Concord Museum for being named one of the best small-town museums by USA Today. What a well-deserved achievement!

I am adding my voice demanding Chuck Shumer resign his leadership positions. He is not leading and the Democratic party has failed yet again.

The DOGE Axe Comes for Libraries and Museums The Institute of Museum and Library Services has long received bipartisan support. But after years of trying, President Donald Trump has delivered it a crushing blow.

DOGE has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide. In communities across the US, the cuts threaten student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to popular digital services, such as the ebook app Libby.

Childhood afternoons spent at the Malden Public Library story hour are what taught me how to dream. Trump and Musk’s cuts threaten neighborhood library and museum programs across the country that support curiosity, learning, and access to information. Communities deserve better.

Arlington Cemetery website drops links for Black, Hispanic, and women veterans The Arlington National Cemetery website "unpublished" links to material about Black, Hispanic and women veterans.

So it turns out one of the soldiers I researched for a posthumous Medal of Honor (Henry Johnson, WWI) is part of this scrubbing. taskandpurpose.com/news/arlingt...

I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

I understand that the 'price of eggs' serves as a microcosm for the broader economic challenges we face. However, it's crucial to move beyond these simplified talking points and expand the discussion. There are many other critical issues that need our attention, beyond just the price of eggs.
