Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

I only know 2 people (husband and wife) who have ever been able to have success with a Medicare Advantage plan even with each having multiple hospital stays and surgeries. Everyone else I know have Disadvantage plans.😉

I'm a stickler for proper nomenclature. The correct term is "Medicare Disadvantage Plan." They are totally unrelated to actual Medicare. Intelligent retirees will have nothing to do with Disadvantage plans; they enroll in traditional Medicare, a Medigap plan plus a Part D drug plan.

"The plan premium covers only the price of carrying the Medicare Advantage card separate from the price of using it. That is the trick baked into a $0-premium comparison. The number on the front of the ANOC held flat. The lines that moved sit 5 pages deeper." #MedicareAdvantage #AnnualNoticeOfChange

Your ANOC's First Page Says $0 Premium Again for 2027. Page Six Says the Hospital Copay Went From $295 a Day to $395, in the Same Size Type
Your Medicare Advantage plan kept its $0 premium for 2027, but buried deeper in that ANOC packet is a number that could cost you hundreds more for a single hospital stay, and most enrollees never read...

Isaias is expected to strengthen into a strong hurricane before approaching the northern Gulf Coast on Friday. There is an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge along portions of the northern Gulf coast, and a Storm Surge Watch has been issued.
National Hurricane Center forecast for Tropical Storm Isaias, issued Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Isaias is over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. The forecast shows strengthening to a hurricane as the storm moves northeast across the Gulf, approaching the northern Gulf Coast near the Florida Panhandle Friday. The system is then forecast to move inland and weaken through the weekend. The cone shows the probable path of the storm’s center, not the storm’s size.Storm surge: Peak storm surge forecast for Tropical Storm Isaias along the northern Gulf Coast. The highest forecast surge is 5–7 feet above ground level from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, eastward to Indian Pass, Florida, including Mobile Bay. Forecast surge is 3–5 feet from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Ocean Springs and from Indian Pass to the Aucilla River, with generally lower levels farther west and along Florida’s Big Bend.
