Boom, Dec, you got it. If I hear one more conspiracy theory, I'm getting on my secret space ship and going home.
Sorry…this is too far. I can’t sit by anymore. The drone hysteria has crossed a line. Scaring people into believing that Chinese or Iranian forces are behind this (likely mass hysteria) phenomenon is irresponsible. A foreign nation taking such action would be an act of war. AN ACT OF WAR. China, and Iran, know this would be insane. But apparently our own leaders don’t realize how insane these claims are. And happy to stoke the fears of all of us for their 15 minutes of fame. Just stop. Stop proving that we’re this crazy…this gullible. Just stop.

Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky blasts the party over what she said is a lack of “common sense”: “When we are too afraid to say that, hey, college kids, if you're trashing the campus of Columbia University because you’re unhappy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning, that is unacceptable. But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we do not know what to say when normal people look at that and say, wait a second. I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so they can burn buildings and trash lawns, right?”

Jeff Bezos last week: “What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence." washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.

Don’t ask whose fault this was. Plenty of time for second-guessing and recriminations. Ask instead, what can you do? For my part, that means telling the truth as I see it, as long as I can. The media will be under a lot of pressure to toe the line; don’t capitulate in advance

Americans appalled by Trump’s win have every reason to fear for our democracy. But they also have work to do, @RadioFreeTom writes. theatln.tc/1RR2Wipb

Other Elon Musk, is there a bigger knucklehead in America? Both in key roles if Trump wins.
Anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. announces that Trump has “promised” him total “control” over America’s public health agencies if he wins

He claims he's pro choice, but supports overturning Roe v. Wade, gets A ratings from pro-life groups, and voted to zero out Planned Parenthood funding. Fundamentally dishonest. @KeanForCongress @suealtman #abortion nj.com/opinion/2024/10/on-ab…

Damn. So, I guess the Post thinks this decision is best left to Twitter and the Wall Street Journal.
On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

A character issue in the Tom Kean JR v. Sue Altman race... Altman fights her own party bosses. Kean obeys them. | Moran - nj.com

Thank you Centenary University for welcoming me to your campus for a special youth town hall! I got some of the best questions of our entire town hall tour from the brilliant students at Centenary. We touched on everything from the influence of social media on youth mental health to money in politics - I left feeling excited about the optimism and dedication this next generation is ready to bring to the table.

Unreal. They call it the Transparency Act. The nerve. Democrats in Trenton have lost their way.
At least 1 independent expenditure committee for a 2025 gov candidate is already spending big. At least 2 others have been set up to boost candidates. But thanks to the Elections Transparency Act, we likely won't know who's funding them until late May 2025 politico.com/newsletters/new…

Like Jeff Tittel of Sierra Club, quoted in here, I've known Kean a long time and have seen his ambition destroy his character. Altman, meanwhile, is proving to be more centrist than expected, esp on Israel. The Squad would never admit her. #altman #kean nj.com/opinion/2024/10/the-s…
