@cabsav456 @SenateGOP Even just the question of what is the 22nd amendment, is it not extremely embarrasing to be a federal judge nominee and not have the amendments memorized? That's the sort of knlowdge I'd expect an AP US Gov student to know.

These are obviously gotcha questions but this is ridiculous. How any Senator would vote to confirm someone to a LIFETIME POSITION who can’t answer the most basic question is beyond comprehension. @SenateGOP advice and consent. Do your jobs. This is disqualifying.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Sen. @ChrisCoonsforDE: Is Trump eligible to run for a 3rd term under our Constitution? Trump Judge nominee: Um... I would have to... to review the- the actual wording-- Coons: The language of the 22nd Amendment makes it clear that no, he is not eligible to run for a 3rd term. Anybody else brave enough to say that the Constitution of the United States prevents President Trump from seeking a 3rd term? Trump Judge Nominees: … Coons: Nobody? Alright.

The only downside I can think of a nuclear plant going there is Newark would get the massive property tax benefits. I am 100% serious when I say I’d rather have nuclear than any other form of power generation in my backyard.
Josh Mann@jmaxmann

This will be the last opportunity to redevelop 87 acres in Northern New Jersey. This should be heavy manufacturing and power plant generation… even nuclear. The State should step in with Essex County and the City of Newark to work with the owners. Major opportunities for job creation and long term power generation/price stability.

@rfhirschfeld I agree those are better places for solar, but given that there are hundreds of millions of acres of farmland in the US, is it really a priority that we not use any of it for solar, if it's more economical?

Farmland isn't pristine nature. That is the last thing I need to be convinced of. But that doesn't mean 4,000 acres corn/soy to 4,000 acres solar is an improvement. Policy should push solar onto rooftops, parking lots, and brownfields first. Farmland can be more than silicon.
Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene@ryankatzrosene

This is only really “more logical” if you fall for the myth that farmland is some kind of “untouched nature”. In truth, (most) farmland is a human-shaped landscape just as much as a parking lot is. While I don’t think solar panels are a great fit in some agricultural contexts, there are farmers who have seen tremendous co-benefits when mixed in with pastured animals or various forms of horticulture.

@nobodyknows2322 I'm still kind of bewildered and in awe that the FDR coalition existed at all. That you could get Ku Klux Klan members and black voters under the same tent is hard to imagine today.

@electionsjoe Honestly, I think the population of a house district matters less than the number of seats in the house. Beyond some number, the power and input of any individual becomes so dilute as to not matter at all.

Let's say we had the votes to uncap the house. Considering all the factors, what do you personally think the ideal population of a house district would be?

@bdquinn Given the trend that it's shifted bluer for the last several elections, it's entirely possible its already slightly left of the country today. 2024: R +0.69 2024 R +4.5 2016 R +7.23

I suspect NYC is old enough, rich enough, great enough by now to be immortal. Not immune to rise and fall, but immortal all the same. The great cities outlast their empires: Damascus, Paris, London, Baghdad, Beijing. Save for the true end, there will always be a New York City.

@dlondonwortel @NJTRANSIT It would do everyone a great deal of good to acknowledge that Northeastern NJ is an integral part of the NYC metro. Culturally, economically, historically. There are distinctions, but ultimately we're all just one maco-community.

We need to start thinking of Hudson/bergen/essex counties as Metroland. Take @NJTRANSIT and explore a random stop. You will not regret it.

Urban NJ is to NYC what Brooklyn was to conventional Manhattanites in the 1960s - hopelessly gauche and largely unknown (except for token enclaves in Hudson county). You wouldn’t cross the bridge into Brooklyn then - you do now. You don’t cross into Newark now - but you will.

@3stddev It’s also easier to life near transit in any part of Brooklyn than in Newark. Yes, Newark Penn Station to NYC is not that long of a commute but you have to GET to Newark Penn Station first

@supremeMilo @constans The Path has tap to pay fare gates that are identical to the MTA, and NJTransit has a very easy to use app to buy tickets. It's pretty damn easy

@constans They need to make it not suck, it’s a 14 minute one seat ride! Should be able to tap a box with your phone, get a little printed ticket and jump on any train. This could be the second most valuable land in the area if they got their shit together.

@MattZeitlin Lot of good reasons to run for Senate instead of President in 28. A Presidential run is hard. Her prominence as a socialist is a big liability. She'd also be the youngest elected by 5 years! Senate seat would be much easier, and make her stronger for a future presidential run.

I think it would be shocking if a politician with a national profile and fundraising ability like AOC’s didn’t run for president, it would basically be unprecedented I think
ettingermentum@ettingermentum

NEW: 2028 is the most open race in a generation. She's the second-most popular American socialist in a century. Should the American left even want her to run at all? Here’s my answer to the left’s all-encompassing AOC question: ettingermentum.news/p/the-lefts-ao…

@jdcmedlock I actually think at a 2/3rds threshold, I would pick red, because I do fear death and don't think it likely enough that blue would succeed. Despite the fact that blue would still receive many votes.

@jdcmedlock A more interesting question here I haven't seen disscused: If you chose blue, at what threshold would you instead pick red? Eg. If blue needed 60% to survive, 70, 80, 90, etc. Especially since the higher the threshold, the more likely it is to fail, the fewer people will pick it.

If you want to avoid needless death, you have two options to coordinate around. Blue has a 50% threshold and red has a 100% threshold. Only one of these is actually feasible…
delaniac 🌹🌱@ChadNotChud

every time this goes around I’m honestly flabbergasted by this justification for picking “red” everyone won’t do that. like that’s just an empirical fact. moreover the fact that there’s discourse about it should immediately prove that to you. many, many people will choose blue

@yrizona_ @jdcmedlock Red also benefits because no one dies if it wins either! If red won by 1% in the twitter poll, people would be smug and satisfied, but if that happened in real life many would be tormented by guilt and regret.

@BigMeanInternet If art is fungible then surely China should just make new art to replace the ones stolen from them. Why would they have a preference for previously stolen Chinese art?

@jdcmedlock Someone did the game theory math and noted that the higher probability blue has of winning, the more people will choose red. And I believe them that their math is correct. But also, I don't know anyone who would react in that way. So there is something missing in that model.

@jdcmedlock It's interesting that when presented evidence that the majority choose blue, red pushers double down on how it's not rational and doesn't make sense, rather than reflecting on how their mental model of how humans think is flawed.

@mean_field_zane @questionableway The risk is near zero. And, if you picked red and it ends up winning just barely, you'd feel greater guilt for having played a greater role in blue's loss and deaths. Imagine if red won by a margin of 1, "your" vote.

@mean_field_zane @questionableway For myself, I can't imagine myself, or basically anyone I know picking red in a scenario that they expect blue to very likely win. What do you think is the cause of that disconnect?
