About 6,600 people in New Jersey who said they were not U.S. citizens had been incorrectly registered to vote due to a technical error, Gov. Mikie Sherrill said Tuesday. abcnews.link/pSQFH2D

@LiamOConnor1989 @ABC Level 1: “it’s not happening “
Level 2: “it’s not widespread”
Level 3: “it’s good that it’s happening “
Level 4: “it’s happening, it’s good, and your legislation to stop it is powerless “.
Got it

@ABC And given that they said they were not citizens, the SAVE Act would have made no difference to this story.
Just wanted to get ahead of the conservabots.

@ClayTravis Boats come only one way from Cuba. No flotillas headed south. That’s all I need to know.
English

Every young American should study Cuba to see what communism creates for its people, severe economic deprivation & lost freedoms. Many young people today grew up in a post-communist European world and have no knowledge of how awful it truly is. Good report on Cuba to read below.

Cuba’s assault on the United States was never, at root, a quarrel over economic policy or sovereignty or even ownership of a particular territory. It was a revolution against Western civilization itself. state.gov/cuba-the-capit…

@graciefacelove @annbauerwriter I’m in this industry. I highly, highly doubt this.

@annbauerwriter I heard (from a friend) the head of the company flew to meet with Trump, have a huge donation and then it came out it was a false positive. I haven’t independently looked into this but also wouldn’t be shocked either way.
English

The Taylor Farms warning from the FDA was based on a false positive. So a government "watchdog" agency slandered a corporation, costing it tens of millions - I'm sure -in recall operations and reputation. What now?

@LizHighleyman @Acyn @ABarnardNYC Oh yes. Communists are well known for less regulations. OMG. You’re in such a bubble
English

@Acyn @ABarnardNYC NYC & SF are in competition over which city has the most pointless regulations & permits. SF’s mayor Lurie is making progress, but Mandani is moving faster.

Mamdani: In a win for every ice cream lover across New York City, we will work with the state to do away with the frozen dessert permit that requires restaurants to seek out a superfluous second permit for what they’re already doing: serving food.
No more treat-sploitation, as we say.
Right now, barbershops need three licenses to cut hair: one to be a barber, one to own the shop, and one from the city on top of both.
The state of affairs is frankly anti-fade, and we will not stand for it, which is why we will work with the state to streamline these licenses as well.
And to the bingo enthusiasts out there, for too long, the potential earnings of a hot streak at bingo have been capped by arcane rules that no longer reflect how the game is actually being played.
With OPEN, DCWP will remove unnecessary regulations, including prize limits.
These are just a few of the improvements we are proud to announce today as we make it clear we are in the pocket of Big Abuela.

The same people who have Hillary Clinton's missing emails, Huma Abedin's laptop and Hunter Biden's laptop. The same people who investigated the J6 pipe bombing, the Las Vegas mass shooting, the Trump assassination attempts and the TWA-800 explosion.
Hope that helps.

@KevinKileyCA It’s even worse than that Kevin. Look at the dumbing down of the entire CA educational system. I’d call on the entire CA educational system to raise the bar as we fall terribly behind every other state and country

@DefiantLs @Elex_Michaelson why don’t you have Hasan back to talk about his love for one of the most murderous dictators of all time? We’d love to hear his thoughts and your follow ups!

@dilanesper Umm..history and healthcare are LITTERED with practices that are later condemned. That being said, there’s no way I’m giving up my coffee.

@ChefGruel Much easier said than done and it usually takes time. Our traceability is much better than it used to be but still takes a lot of time….and there’s a better than 50/50 chance we never find the original source. But of course we need to look very thoroughly
English

False positive or not, we should be looking for the poop, not just the produce. Cyclospora doesn't naturally live on lettuce. It gets there through human fecal contamination (poop) - typically contaminated irrigation water, wash water, or poor sanitation somewhere in the production chain. Finding that source would do far more to prevent future outbreaks than a single positive lettuce sample ever could. FIND THE SOURCE!

@Cardinals_Live_ Uncompetitive? Hardly. 2 really dumb mistakes but one really really dumb and costly mistake.
English

The #stlcards just took the biggest step into sell territory you've ever seen - this team isn't up to snuff - the 1st half was fun - but there's too many flaws. They're not ready. Not when you have a series like this- uncompetitive.

@MicroGuy18 I mean that’s a slight exaggeration but offense in the NFL is declining even with all their efforts to make touching an offensive player a penalty

At some point Dems are going to have to grapple with the reality that in the face of all of Trump and Republicans’ manifest horribleness and incompetence, people aren’t rushing toward the Democrats. If you think the DSA stuff is helping, you’ve never talked to a swing voter.
Ronald Brownstein@RonBrownstein
Trump’s job approval rating has plummeted below the level that triggered midterm wave elections vs Clinton 94, W. Bush in 2006, Obama in 2010 & Trump himself in 2018. And yet most surveys do not show Dems establishing a clear advantage in the key races that will decide control.

@Dr_Bry_So_Fly This is stupid and lazy. The BBB benefits Americans. We should be doing more but this statement is ridiculous
English

@PaganTech @AmyMossoff @bscholl We have ALOT of bases. To make the claim of 60, 70,80 % depletion is unknowable. And to act as if our bases are some impenetrable force field is preposterous.
English

@MicroGuy18 @AmyMossoff @bscholl US bases have been hit which would mean defensive weapons are either not working or there isn’t enough.

Why did POTUS suddenly pivot from "unconditional surrender" to a deal at any cost in Iran?
TL/DR it's the interceptors, stupid.
- it takes Lockheed >two years and $5-15m to make a missile interceptor
- i.e., $10k drones take a $5m missile to defeat
- our forecast was that a) the population was going to rebel and b) we’d quickly take out the missile launchers
- But: Iran murdered 50k protesting citizens before our forces were in place; we didn’t defeat the launch capability as fast as expected
- we were facing down dwindling interceptor supplies
- 50% of patriots are gone and 80% of Thaad interceptors are gone. They cannot be replaced in a relevant timeframe
- if we actually ran out of defenses, US and allies in the region would be slaughtered— and the US would be facing a historic defeat
- we're already rationing interceptors, which is why our soldiers died in Jordan last night and why there are no more Patriots in Ukraine.
- in this context we try to make any deal you can — regardless of cost. Pretend it’s about gas prices if we must.
So we are losing this war. Badly. And what really lost the war was the fucked up defense supply chain that can’t make munitions in a relevant cost or timeframe — and we have no technology that defeats the enemy in an economically sustainable way.
This is why advanced anti drone and advanced missile defense is so critical. Personally I am bullish on directed energy intercept, particularly space-based directed energy.
Regardless of specific technology, we must be able to build interceptors faster and cheaper than any enemy can build offensive weapons.
Against China right now we lose. Badly. It isn’t even close.
Fortunately we are learning this lesson against Iran not against China—and there is still time to pivot and fix the US industrial base, but only barely.
