While railroads spent more on stock buybacks than rail safety, Warren Buffett became $42 billion richer & is worth $106 billion. On Friday, Buffett became $435 million richer, enough to provide 7 paid sick days to every rail worker in America for an entire year. Ban the buybacks. https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1629482734358863883

In 1977, NASA began looking for women astronauts.
Sally Ride spotted an ad about it in the Stanford school newspaper & applied. She was one of six women chosen.
In 1983, Ride became the first American woman to travel into space. Her role as a mission specialist was to work a robotic arm to put satellites into space.
Ride went on to teach at UC San Diego & worked to promote women & girls in STEM. She also wrote childrenโs books about exploring #space. https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/who-was-sally-ride-58.html #HistoryRemix

The Postal Board of Governors, which still refuses to fire Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, meets today for its first session of 2023.
Two board seats previously held by Trump nominees opened up in December.
Biden must fill them without further delay.
