Answer: it is a flagrant violation of federal law. Full stop. End of conversation (under 18 U.S.C. § 592, which bans armed federal forces from election sites). see @brennancenter.org info here: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Indeed, why would our community support such extreme policies? We know that immigrants built America and get the job done! Let’s make the administration of immigration what it was before 2003: a civilian agency, not a masked paramilitary. SamForNJ.org

I am excited to share a new study on cerebellar granule cell neural sequences from our lab (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...). This study is the result of years of work by an exceptional team of postdocs and students. @adamhantman.bsky.social

it’s legitimately news that someone who believes in vaccines might lead the govt agency responsible for … preventing and controlling the spread of disease

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

The old collegiality of career politicians can blind them to the plain unfitness of their pals for positions of public trust. We need outsiders who will not be sentimental about saying no to people who damage our security and the safety of our immigrant neighbors - and ourselves.

This is a national disgrace and it should cost Bhattacharya his job at NIH. It should result in him being ostracized from academia for the rest of his career. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Unlike one of my opponents, I believe in running in the district where I live! Central Jersey, 26 years strong! SamForNJ.org

@aje.bsky.social, yes! The founders expected 30,000 people per district. Mine has 770,000. I love the amazing diversity of it, but there is no mistaking that with smaller districts, representatives would be closer to their voters - and less driven by campaign finance.

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results. (One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

It would be great to see some sort of midterm plan from Democrats - the formation of action commissions, plans to hit the ground running - for how Congress will begin to rectify the horrors we've witnessed ever since the Republicans took power. There is no time to waste.

I am fully committed to making Congress the central branch of government, as the Founders intended. By doing this, we can end tyranny and start to build a better democracy. Examples: Congress can expand SCOTUS, abolish ICE, and tame the executive. Learn more: SamForNJ.org

I am grateful for the endorsement of leading scientists from New Jersey's 12th Congressional District! I'm backed by Nobel laureates & pioneers in medicine, physics, chemistry, & AI. I'll defend against attacks on science & build jobs & health for all Americans. www.samfornj.org/news/scienti...

A big day for the campaign: we turned in over 1100 signatures to qualify for the primary, more than anyone else in NJ-12. Powered by volunteers…and a delicious Chambersburg macaroon!

Here's the valid critique of the Mueller investigation, which is not really about Robert Mueller: It began in a moment when it seemed like there might actually be an appetite among Republicans for holding Trump to account. Easy to forget that now, but yeah, summer 2017 was not good times for him

Breaking: A U.S. district judge in Oregon said he will vacate a declaration made late last year by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that asserted gender-affirming care for young trans people does not meet medical standards of care. www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/j...

I've been following you for over a decade, Sam. The instant I learnt you are in the game, I threw money at your campaign. We NEED people who know the difference between data and anecdotes and know why policy should be built on one and not the other. Get that seat!

Thank you, Brandon! The campaign site, SamForNJ.org, gives some look. If you want to see how I think about democracy and science, see samwang.substack.com. It's a good look at what I believe - and what I have done. Also see gerrymander.princeton.edu...

AI is powerful but brings new risks. The government oversees safety of flights, food, and drugs. It should do the same for AI. I’m a scientist who uses responsible AI to help parents with autism diagnosis. In Congress I’ll make sure CPSC, OSHA, FTC and CFPB protect us. www.ft.com/content/7f63...

BREAKING: Judge Royce Lamberth rules that the Trump admin impermissibly halted Voice of America and related broadcasting and impermissibly placed associated employees on administrative leave, orders return to work by March 23. Order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is astonishing—a rhetoric steeped so deeply in New York's ethnic history, in grass-roots urban progressivism, in the immigrant experience in the United States. It's not "you should be in solidarity with others," it's "you always have been, we all always have been."

Really interesting approach to one of the most horrifying parts of the Bible. I'm not sure there are any satisfactory ways of dealing with the conquest narratives and the commands to commit genocide, but this is the most useful I've seen.

Some of us academics have argued that the transition to autocracy has occurred, but the consolidation has not. One reason is federalism; another is public opinion. Both are attacked in the Save Act.

Another hero journalist who has been absolutely critical in getting scientific facts to the public is @melodyschreiber.com. Here’s another excellent article from her.

I’ve interacted with Dr Wang on multiple occasions. He’s a good guy…

Mayor Mamdani again intervenes effectively for Columbia students. The Columbia administration regularly does nothing whatsoever for them.

This is one step to the nomination - the primary's on June 2. Right now, my team and I are out there: meeting people, raising funds to get the word out, and persuasion. If you want to support science, facts, and restoring Congress to stop the attacks, please help! secure.actblue.com/donate/sam4nj
