This game has been fun… let’s play 7 more of these in June

This administration's deception is shameless. Trump is dragging us into what's so clearly a war – just look at Trump's actions in Iran in the first 48 hours compared to the first 48 hours of the 2003 Iraq War.

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

He always tells us what he's going to do next. Connect the dots.

We’ve seen this before. We have an obligation to ensure that mistakes of the past are not repeated.

The American people deserved to get a clear explanation of why servicemembers lives are at risk and why their gas prices are about to skyrocket. Instead, they got this.

Today is a good day to take note of all those telling you how swimmingly this is going to work out so you can stop paying attention to them forever We have illegally and under false pretenses launched a war that in no way benefits us and isn't going to ever truly end A MISTAKE WE HAVE MADE BEFORE

How it started. How it's going.

Analysis | With Stephen Miller running America's domestic policy, Benjamin Netanyahu running its foreign policy, and Donald Trump heading up interior decorating and bribe-taking, the executive branch has tripled its efficiency.

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

Congratulations MHS boys (#2 seed) and MHS girls (#13 seed) on their first round state wins. Boys play Saturday at noon at home. Girls have a road game.

That's why @booker.senate.gov and I introduced the End Warehouse Detention Act to put an end these inhumane practices from this administration. 2/2

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

No more private detention centers in New Jersey. Nobody wants this in their backyard.

You're likely to hear the term "Nor'easter" in the coming days. They are notorious for packing strong winds and copious amounts of moisture they get from the Atlantic. The heavily-populated “I-95 Corridor” -- is especially impacted by Nor’easters. Learn more: weather.gov/safety/winter-noreaster

“It’s about time to have Christians standing up for what Jesus said,” including welcoming immigrants,” he said. “People being pushed into unmarked vans by masked men isn’t it,” added his wife... www.chicagocatholic.com/web/chicago-...

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

It costs $65k a year to teach students lesson plans that are sometimes faulty. They are scraping data from other online courses without permission. Student info, including videos, is stored on a Google Drive anyone can access if shared the link. Of course this administration praises them. 🙄

Ramadan Mubarak, New Jersey, and to all those who are observing the holy month of Ramadan around the world.   I extend my warmest wishes to you as you embark on this month of reflection, generosity, and community that reminds us all of the importance of compassion and service.

Happy Lunar New Year to all celebrating in NJ and around the world! I love this time of the year as our family comes together to cook our favorite foods and celebrate new beginnings. I hope this next year is one filled with good luck and fortune for you and your loved ones.

I want to shape an America my kids will be proud of.

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Metuchen cruised to its fifth consecutive sectional title, and seventh overall, with 99 points. Makenna Burns won the 400 with a time of 1:00.04 while Rose Surgan won the 800 at 2:26.21. Julia Kelly added a win in the 55 hurdles (9.12) and the 4x400 relay time of 4:14.12 to win gold.

I suppose it’s good that the NY Times wrote this, but they need to get beyond style issues and warn the public loudly that Trump is building a dictatorship. I’m not alarmed about golden statues — I’m alarmed about concentration camps and masked government thugs executing people in the street.

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Voter fraud is not a real problem. Our problem isn’t non-citizens illegally voting in our elections. The real problem is American citizens not voting in our elections. And our even bigger problem is voter suppression.

Stupid, dangerous and cruel.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

This is a clarion call to lawyers across America If Trump sends ICE to challenge voters, we need attorneys who can counteract their fascism, prepared to represent people in court through emergency applications so they don’t get disenfranchised Get ready, colleagues Our country is going to need us

$38.3 billion for a dumb and cruel immigration policy that doesn’t work. 

The next time they tell you we don’t have money for healthcare or education or actual public safety, remember it’s going to this absolute waste.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

Congrats MHS boys on the sweet 16 win tonight. Next vs st joes in the quarterfinals!

Climate change is real, no matter what Donald Trump says. Today’s anti-science decision to undo years of work gives giant polluters free rein to poison the air we breathe and the water we drink with no consequences. Americans will die.

We are going to be set back decades. We are no longer scientific innovators. www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/h...

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

As I've said many times, this is an awful thing that we are doing to ourselves for no discernible reason.
