Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?
People - including top US journalists, perhaps especially top US journalists - don’t quite get how bad it’s going to be. How beyond term one it’ll be. How bad the Musks and RFKs will be.
I don’t think even I fully accept how bad it’s going to be and I have been shouting how bad it’s going to be for years.
The number of US representatives was meant to grow proportionally with the population every census. In 1929, Republicans capped the size of the US House at 435. Why? Because they were scared of losing power
You don’t need a constitutional amendment to fix the electoral college. It’s based on the number of senators and representatives + DC. If you uncap the US House, you fix the electoral college.
NJ legislature has failed its residents today by passing OPRA rollback bill. This is 💯 legislating by anecdote. Why create fear though lawsuit threats. Why are they making $ off this bill? Why cant you digitize records? What are you hiding? #opra
It’s a new day in New Jersey!!
Grateful for the activists who worked on this for years. This is the first step towards cleaning up the corruption that’s held our state back
BREAKING: Judge Quraishi GRANTS Kim's request for a preliminary injunction. The county line has been overturned.
(This is an extremely quick reaction on my part; have not read the decision beyond this yet.)
So @CoryBooker, @MikieSherrill, @GovMurphy, other New Jersey politicians wondering why you aren't more prominent nationally--I'm going to explain it to you.
New Jersey corruption is holding you back.
As long as we have the line here, you'll always be second rate. 🧵
This thread nails it.
NJ’s GDP is Top 10 in the nation. Ranked 11th by population.
But, our influence isn’t felt at the national level. The corruption holds all New Jerseyans back.

If you want change, you need the power to hold elected officials accountable.
In NJ, we have an opportunity to take that power away from party bosses and give it back to the people.

2) He's running for Congress on a progressive agenda to serve Jersey City, Hoboken, and the rest of NJ-8. In taking on the county line and political machine, Ravi is paving the way for more independent and qualified candidates to run for elected office throughout New Jersey…
1) I am thrilled to endorse my friend, Mayor Ravi Bhalla, for Congress! As mayor, he has made historic investments in climate resiliency programs and delivered on ambitious street safety measures.
.@Oseguera2020 & @DavidOcampoNJ are backing @RaviBhalla for Congress in the 8th District.
“From an anti-corruption perspective, the choice is clear. We can count on Ravi to take on the political machine & open the door to other qualified candidates ..."
