I think the Chinese have better things to be doing that spying on American moms' morning routines to undermine their way of life, like beating the US in clean energy and use soft power to expand their global influence.
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine

BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?

HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

GREAT presidential acceptance speech from Catherine Connolly, including a repeated focus on the threat of climate and environmental breakdown.

She's clearly announcing that she'll be an activist president: *exactly* what's needed right now.

Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela.

In some better alternate timeline, we'd be using all those resources to help our neighbors in Jamaica, Haiti, & Cuba recover from Hurricane Melissa.
