@JakeSherman So he returned to say two things to a reporter - Of course I'm alive, and of course I'm running for reelection.
Really inspiring stuff

TOM KEAN has resurfaced. He still won't say what's going on with his health, but said that he would return to Washington in the next few weeks.

Scoop: Rep. Tom Kean told me this afternoon that his health prognosis is good, that he'll return to Washington for votes within the next few weeks, and that he's running for re-election. He promised full transparency on his illness soon. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/kean-…

@Robert_Auth @OneJerseySchorr @VoteMyhre Nothing is wrong with standing up for America. Standing up for America is great, but I fail to see how this bill does this.
What's your long term goal? You're right, I'm not privy to it, but would love to know.
English
@BriMcCaskill @OneJerseySchorr @VoteMyhre What’s so bad about standing up for America, Brian? Additionally, your comment about “performative politics “ is subjective since you are not privy to the long term goal of my effort.
English
A new bill introduced by New Jersey Assemblymen @Robert_Auth and @VoteMyhre would require public school principals and teachers to conduct "oral recitation from Declaration of Independence before opening of school each day" in grades 3 through 12.
English
@Robert_Auth @OneJerseySchorr @VoteMyhre It's a waste of time. And proposing this law is purely performative politics. Good for likes on social media and to tell people you're "sticking up for America" but nothing else.
Next time try and do something to actually help the people of New Jersey

@Robert_Auth @OneJerseySchorr @VoteMyhre Students should have a deep understanding of the document, which is one of the most important documents in the history of the world. But reading a document with 1400 words at the beginning of each school day doesn't make a student understand the meaning behind those words

@BrendanKutyNJ @Ken_Rosenthal @TheAthletic Most Yankee fans would rather end baseball than change something as simple as the color of a shoe lace. I guarantee that these are the same people who thought night games would ruin baseball 100 years ago.
Change is good. Keeps things fresh

Yankees players recently pitched higher-ups on the idea of wearing alternate road jerseys for the first time in franchise history, league sources tell @TheAthletic.
The jerseys look a lot like these. ⤵️

@rayfp I've sang Dylan's "Ye Shall Be Changed" when changing diapers. Took on a whole new meaning

@paranoiacs It's Dylan's best song.
Just think of how good a song has to be to be Bob Dylan's best song.
English
Six staggering minutes chronicling a five thousand year continuum of human oppression from the dawn of man to the Mississippi Delta, Bob Dylan's "Blind Willie McTell" is the saddest song written about the failed promises of America. This land is your land. This land is condemned.

@conorsen Had this conversation with a Pastor, of all people. He said a lot of the young 20 somethings he knows are proud of the fact they don't drink and are home every Saturday night. He (rightly so, imo) questioned the tradeoffs.

It’s kind of interesting how some of the anti-alcohol posting online has the vibe of a scolding movement that encourages behaviors that lead to less socialization in the name of health.
Derek Thompson@DKThomp
One of the things I found really frustrating about public health guidance during the pandemic was that the public wasn't trusted with nuance, so the communication was often over-torqued. I think health communicators should trust their audiences with nuance. "Friends, stop drinking alcohol. Not cut back. Eliminate." isnt' really nuance. It's absolutism. You're offering a pragmatic defense of absolutism, and it's smart to be pragmatic, but I'd prefer we just be honest: Alcohol is a delicious bit of extremely mild cellular poison and having too much of it is really bad in the long run but having a little of it won't kill you. Everything in the realm of diet circles the issue of moderation. Chronic caloric surplus leads to obesity. Severe caloric deficit can lead to death. I'd prefer we attempt to articulate the principle of moderation in alcohol, too

Tom Waits in his new anti-war protest song with Massive Attack (out tomorrow):
"Now who the hell are these federal pricks
Hiding in the Senate like a bloated-ass tick
…
A coal to a diamond
A vote into law
They campaign up all the blood they can draw"

@conorsen The mess that is in a NYC train station being blamed on NJ is a perfect synopsis of the two states relationship.

On a daily basis MARTA is kind of a mess but because it has so much excess capacity it’s actually well-suited for big events.

@byelin @JakeSherman They should take it seriously. So seriously that they force the administration to follow through with it. At a certain point, you gotta just give people the chaos.

@JakeSherman It’s an insane idea that’s not going to happen and you shouldn’t give it credence by taking it seriously

NEW: In interview w/ colleague @BretBaier, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin floats the idea of stripping CBP/customs officers from airports in large sanctuary cities as retaliation for refusing to cooperate with the federal government. International travelers wouldn’t be able to fly into airports and leave without going through customs. Mullin points out that Democrats are also refusing to fund CBP. “It’s something we’re looking at,” Mullin said.

New Jersey state Senator @sencorrado has introduced a bill which would require boards of education in the state to include at least three days that may be used to close the schools in the event of inclement weather, such as snow, or other emergencies.
Shlomo Schorr@OneJerseySchorr
Although, neighboring New York City announced a remote school day for students on Monday due to the snow, under New Jersey law, public school students must be in classrooms for the day to be counted toward the minimum 180 days of instruction that are required in the state. Therefore, learning from home via video or doing remote schoolwork on laptops would not count as a school day in New Jersey.

@OneJerseySchorr @vingopal So something that's good for patients because it can be used to save time and money now won't save money.
Just genius level stuff here.
English
A new bill introduced by New Jersey state Senator @vingopal and Assemblywoman Margie Donlon would require insurance companies in the state to permanently cover and pay for health care services delivered virtually at a provider reimbursement rate that equals the rate for in-person services.
English
@AbelDebabel5785 @OneJerseySchorr @sencorrado Yes, the reasonable complaint most people is that school teachers don't have enough days off, especially compared to every other job.
English
@OneJerseySchorr @sencorrado There are not enough "off days" to begin with, school teachers need several more.

People live in homes owned by corporations. Almost every home I’ve lived in has been owned by a large corporation, including as a child.

No, it means Perdue Farms should sell chicken to people instead of eating the chicken itself. Oh wait, it doesn't make sense to say that Perdue Farms would eat the chicken, because corporations aren't people. Idiocracy indeed.
