If Congress were serious about its Article I powers, it wouldn’t vote to fund a war it didn’t authorize.

This is not complicated.

Defense experts back Anthropic in letter to Congress, slam DOD for setting 'dangerous precedent' Former defense and intelligence officials and policy experts are urging Congress to investigate the Pentagon's labeling of Anthropic as a supply chain risk.

A bipartisan coalition is raising the alarm on the Trump administration's threats to penalize Anthropic for declining to remove safeguards against mass domestic surveillance, and points to the public’s wide support for such safeguards. We're proud to support the coalition:

I didn’t think it could be worse than a do-nothing Congress. But actively coming to the aid of a pointless, destabilizing war…it’s time for new leadership.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard

FYI: This is what leadership looks like.

He asked me about my own campaign in NJ-12.

I'm running to make sure these gerrymanders don't happen again, anywhere. A national law can put and end to Congressional gerrymandering, and I'll introduce it on Day 1.

Just had a good conversation with Major Garrett of @cbsnews.com on the national redistricting wars. The focus, North Carolina, one of the most extreme gerrymanders in the nation. We also got into my role in New Jersey as an arbiter between Democratic & Republican plans.

We're on at 5pm ET/2pm PT.
