Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Piscataway is pretty far out of NJ-12. What would be your favorite hangout in Piscataway?
Note medical scientists are in fact close to Destination Dogs
I'm telling you, Destination Dogs is the place! It's a favorite gathering spot in New Brunswick.
Come on out tomorrow (Wednesday), 5-7pm. We can talk about how to protect and grow science, over boar sausages!

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
6/ Secretary Marco Rubio has repeatedly said no one has died as a result of cuts to foreign aid. Our reporting proves that isn’t true.

Reuters: Iran's Revolutionary Guards said any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of Israel and the US from its territory will have full authority and freedom to pass through the Strait of Hormuz
Daylight savings time is stressful for the brain - every year, a transient risk of accidents and illness. We should consider doing away with it.
Put this neuroscientist in Congress and we’ll take it up.

Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
This is arguably the real “elite bubble.” The dumbest person most educated professionals have any meaningful social interaction with—the guy at the office they snicker about in the group chat—is a solid standard deviation brighter than the American mean. This necessarily skews one’s perspective.
It's real.
A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

seems odd but it's been suggested. See the Elliott Morris article
This is a way in which Congress has major power over our lives, and an area where it is still possible to get bipartisan consensus. And it demonstrates the Congress actually has power when it wants. that power is what I want to restore.
And let’s make sure it’s **based on evidence**.

It would be a good idea to run the survey both at spring forward and fall back times, to see if there is a recency bias
I am somewhat sad at the thought that you do not have a more favorite day
If you read that survey data from Elliott Morris, people are weirdly agnostic - either is fine as long ad we stop changing.
I am personally inclined toward permanent Daylight Savings (evening daylight!) but we should probably study it more
Big thanks to those in Princeton and Montgomery who canvassed for 166 signatures to help qualify me for the June primary. At this rate, we may have 1000 by tomorrow, double the requirement!
Also, awesome diversity in NJ-12. Here, today’s tuna slicing demo at a Korean market!
Tuna cutting, first Saturday of the month at Kasia in Montgomery, up Route 206!

at this point Democrats have basically won that war. which proves a point, it’s a loser for Republicans.
Congress can pass a law that mandates independent redistricring in all states, red and blue. this is a major issue for me.

that is kind of intriguing
we can, um, send that to a subcommittee
