Wait, what civic duty am I absolving myself of, exactly?

I'm going to continue to criticize Dems when info about them that I dislike breaks. I don't have that many followers, so you're all free to ignore me when I do so.

I actually don't expect candidates to agree with me on every single issue or act exactly how I want. I do, however, have certain standards. Again, you are free to ignore my standards.

I think he means that not everyone owes Sherrill their uncritical support.

Is she refusing such donations now, or is it just that those PACs aren't making such donations anymore?

I'm a voter, not a campaigner. I must be appealed to. If you find my expectations too high, you are free to ignore them.

I would like them to acknowledge it, express regret, and commit to not doing it again. You know, standard meaningful apology protocol.

Fox News can do what they want. I'm using that info for my own point.

It's actually good to criticize my side in an election, bcs it's honest & my side might improve. I don't regret holding my side to higher standards.

Murphy unfort getting criticism for pursuing OSW w/ a fervor he now tries to downplay, but he was right. NJ should pursue is comparative advantage. Our relative lack of open land makes land-based energy generation too expensive here.

I am going to stick to a well-balanced diet from now on. I tried protein powders and, more importantly than the lead, they're gross and prob unnecessary.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

No one saw that coming.
Governor’s race: Tracey Tully and Joseph Goldstein at the New York Times look at the explosive allegation that Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Mikie Sherrill is focusing on in the last three weeks of the campaign, her contention that Ciattarelli’s former publishing company published misinfo on opioids when he ran it. Sherrill has notably not repeated her claim, made during last week’s debate with Ciattarelli, that he killed tens of thousands of people, but she remains insistent that he was complicit. Meanwhile, in a hilarious update, Andrew Mark Miller and Cameron Cawthorne at Fox News looked through Sherrill’s old campaign finance reports to find donations from PACs linked to pharmaceutical companies that have reached settlements for their roles in contributing to the opioid crisis. Oops! The Sherrill campaign called that story “a desperate attack.” Twenty days until Election Day.

Unfortunately, Sherrill is not going to bat for offshore wind. Of course, everyone's going to assume she support it anyway, so I'd expect her to own it & defend it on its merits. You know, what representatives in a rep democracy are supposed to do, shape public will.

Jack wants to axe NJ Transit lines. (Also lol @ the Republican now doing the classic Jersey "let's reshuffle depts to make it look like we're Doing Something" bit.)

Sherrill comes out kind of tepidly in support of TOD... but also parking lots. Could've been stronger.

Sherrill had the chance to bust the myths about trans healthcare for minors & stake out a sensible position.

This is fucking horrible.
Under the current system, most residences with up to three units, including single-family homes, are taxed under a complicated equation that begins with their market value, which is determined by the city based on recent sales prices for similar nearby properties. A property’s assessed value is then calculated at 6 percent of the market value, but it cannot increase more than 6 percent a year or 20 percent in five years. That helps people who own property in neighborhoods like Park Slope where values have surged. Tax exemptions and credits, if they exist, are then applied and that total is multiplied by a variable tax rate that is currently around 21.17 percent.
