Son of a life-long CBS executive here. My Dad worked with Cronkite & kept a picture of Murrow in his office. This is sickening.

These are disqualifying comments from the NJ GOP candidate for Governor. The Gateway Tunnel is immensely important to NJ, and Trump's actions to stop its funding are unlawful, outrageous, and do terrible damage to NJ.

Absolutely unacceptable. I worked on this program for two decades. Pilot projects proved that giving kids internet access away from school grounds vastly improves their education.

New taxes are on the table under a Jack administration.

But don't take my word for it β€” just listen to what Jack and his running mate have to say.

Lawfully funding the Gateway Tunnel, led by @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to improve commuting for New Jerseyans, is not giving "certain things to certain constituencies." It's called following the law & it's imperative to elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to defeat this un-American lawlessness.

Outrageous, unlawful, & another reason to support @mikiesherrill.bsky.social over a Trump clone.

I've been in NJ politics since the 1960s, and the clip below is the most revealing statement ever by the NJ GOP & its Trump clones. We work for the millionaires, so raising their taxes is not ok. Please support @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to defeat this madness.

The Trump clone running against Mikie Sherrill in NJ never served a day in his life, but working with Trump, he's lying about her distinguished service record. See below.

Absolutely outrageous and unlawful. And it goes nowhere: Mikie Sherrill served with distinction, her opponent did not. She excelled at everything she's done, he excels in nothing. All he can do is work with Trump on outrageous dirty tricks.

His comments about Alzheimer's are absolutely incorrect. NIH has not solely focused on the amyloid hypothesis, and the two drugs that remove amyloid plaque are working. He should stop repeating this misinformation.

Thank you @lawrencehurley.bsky.social. My dad worked for CBS News for his entire career- from 1954 to 1981. He kept a picture of Murrow in his office & worked on the Cronkite news. This development is sickening and disguting.

Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My dad kept a picture of Edward R. Murrow in his office & worked on the Cronkite news. It's the only place my dad ever worked. This is absolutely disgusting and just sickening.

He made these outrageous comments previously on Fox News, then vehemently denied making them when @smith.senate.gov called him out, & now he made them again. I can't emphasize this enough- this guy should not be anywhere near HHS or any other government job.

Trump’s awful tax bill puts 350,000+ Virginians at risk of losing their healthcare β€” it’s not something they β€œchoose.”

Winsome Earle-Sears is lying. This November, Virginia voters will remember this devastation she supported.

Spot on from Judge Burroughs in ruling for Harvard: "And it is unlikely that any Jew, even one directly impacted by antisemitism would be in favor of stopping research on, for example, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, or autism to name a few, as a means of redressing their unrelated harm."

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do.

Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

A disaster for vitally important Alzheimer's research and so much other medical research-- which we count on NIH to fund and which Congress requires NIH to fund. No one voted for this madness. #endalz

Disgusting. Instead of going on a white supremist's, anti-semite's podcast to defend the indefensible, let's have a Director of NIH who concentrates on expediting NIH grants for Alzheimer's research, cancer research, etc. #endalz

Big- as I & others have been saying for months now, the cuts & pauses in NIH grants are all unlawful, according to GAO. Congress and the courts must-must make this stop. #endalz

Congratulations to @ztameez.bsky.social on his fabulous biography of Charles Sumner. All progressives should read it- a powerful, timely lesson in never ever giving up, never stopping, never rolling over in the fight for justice. What an opportunity there is for leaders who do so now.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya used sickle cell disease research as an example of something he would not call DEI and cut. It's being cut.

Remember this in November 2026- my fellow volunteers and I will be texting voters in every key district to remind them. Sure, let's take away health care from 17 million people & throw millions off food stamps- just give me a signed hat and a picture.

These seem to be the final GOP Congress/White House arguments defending $1T in draconian #Medicaid cuts: (1) there are no Medicaid cuts (2) we’re all going to die (3) get over it (4) this is only about videogame playing 25 yr-olds & (5) CBO is partisan. They mostly dropped the anti-fraud argument.

Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center receives federal funding to support world-class research as a Center of Excellence The Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center has received a five-year, $25 million Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center of Excellence award.

Great news re Alzheimer's research & Vanderbilt. Does this mean that all the Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers that NIH has unlawfully declined to fund are now going to receive their funding immediately? #endalz. @maxkozlov.bsky.social @scott-delaney.bsky.social
