Say hello to Linus! He was born on 5/21 with a full head of hair, a killer handshake, and a butt that just won’t quit (at pooping).

It was MONTHS before they admitted there was a problem, by which point was already sworn in and doing his job. We're going to keep demanding answers (including a full recount) until we get to a place where we can feel confident in the results.

I represent . This is deeply upsetting. Someone told the BOE that there was an issue with the vote totals before the certification deadline, before their audit said the results were 100% accurate, and it took WEEKS for any follow-up.

As MLK once said, “I have a dream that Hector LaSalle will one day get a full up-or-down vote before the entire New York State Senate so Kathy Hochul can complete her deeply embarrassing descent into irrelevance. I have a dream today!”

Gov. Hochul issues statement on LaSalle’s rejection, saying she believes “the Constitution requires action by the full Senate.”

I’m willing to put aside my law practice to help out. My experience is that I asked to try out for the team in high school and the coach laughed and walked away.

Saleh says he's "definitely" looking to hire a senior offensive assistant -- i.e. someone to replace the late Greg Knapp. Interesting tidbit right there. #Jets

Geno Smith may be my favorite NFL player of all time. I don’t know this dude but I am so proud of him.
Quote Tweet
With just 151 passing yards today, Seahawks QB Geno Smith will set the record for the most passing yards in a single season in franchise history.
He also is at 70.2% completion percentage, with a real shot to lead the NFL and become the first Seahawks QB ever to complete 70%+.

impractical since it necessarily can’t be blind/independent if his family controls it (and it can’t easily be sold off by the trust’s investment advisor). All of that is to say, I’m not holding my breath on this ever actually occurring, barring a rules change on what QBTs allow.

1) sell his stake, which would be a MASSIVE taxable event; 2) create a QBT for everything he owns BUT the Kean trust, which would defeat the point of the QBT since the bulk of his money would be outside the QBT; or 3) put his share of the family trust in the QBT, which is…

I’ve created several QBTs for members of Congress and I don’t know how this will be possible. Based on my recollection of his disclosures, too much of Kean’s money is in his family trust. So he has three options…

New Jersey should do the same for its nonpartisan municipal runoffs. Elections end up being decided by ultra low December turnout instead of higher November turnout.

@GaSecofState Raffensperger calls to end Georgia runoff elections, notes the added stress on county election staff:
“We're also one of the only states that always seems to have a runoff…No one wants to be dealing with politics in the middle of their family holiday.” #gapolShow this thread

Then in 1953, it was expanded so any civilian could use a VBM so long as they had a specific reason for why it was needed. In 2009, we made it universal and removed the rationale requirement. We have a long history and tradition of VBMs in New Jersey. They ain’t going anywhere.

Fun story (to maybe nobody but me) about VBMs, but we’ve had them in New Jersey for a long time. Originally permitted from 1815-1820 for the military, then brought back in 1876 for use during war. In 1948, anyone in the military could use them at any point.
