Sen. 's dedication to protecting software developers & digital privacy rights is the main reason we ever had a chance to fix the infrastructure bill. He went to bat for us out of real personal passion. No matter what happens next, he's a true champion. Thank you Senator!

Youth sports ramping back up. This is great. General guidelines: -Go broad; too-early specialization destroys joy, bodies -Prioritize fun -Teach winning -Teach losing -Don't over-protect from vulnerability -Stop yelling at 15-yr-old umpire -Car ride home is most important thing

His staff has imposed some rules when appearing in public: “No singing. No dancing. No hats.” “I love to sing. I love to dance,” @SenSchumer says, “and I’m lousy at both.” @lukebroadwater profiles Schumer who is actually a decent singer. nyti.ms/38nNkgf
