How Rep. Josh Gottheimer got outmatched by the Congressional Progressive Caucus interc.pt/3A4hSPa by Ryan Grim

You want to reduce crime? Employ the unemployed. House the homeless. Feed the hungry. Treating those living in poverty with the respect and dignity they deserve, and fighting to uplift their material conditions, is how you reduce crime. It’s that simple.

“Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site, they'll click on less ads, they'll make less money,” says Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen. cbsn.ws/3ouorZb

60 Minutes Who could’ve foreseen that a guy who stole someone else’s idea and changed it into a platform were you rated girls looks just because one girl had the good sense to rebuff him, would end up destroying the world?

This is good - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to me, on @JoshGottheimer's criticisms of a small 'far left' faction: "I do math & 95 [House Progressives] is larger than 9 which is the number of Democrats who signed onto a letter threatening to sink the entire infrastructure bill."

Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV) says there’s “no chance” he will mandate vaccines for schoolchildren. @MargBrennan: Why? You mandate measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, polio … Justice: Margaret, you know, you don’t have to come in so hot.

To answer Matt Friedman's question directly - yes, "the line" + other advantages conferred by the support of NJ's machine boosted incumbent Gottheimer in 2020 over Kreibich, a candidate much closer to the Dem mainstream. Clearly that has been to the detriment of Biden's agenda.

pour one out for all the covid disinformation that can't be spread on FB today

Been waiting 7 years for this headline 😁

an interesting pickup for Rep Josh Gottheimer. Ron DeSantis’s former legislative director will be Gottheimer’s leg director.

“Activists chanting “Shame on you, Josh!” visited the district offices of Gottheimer…who has pressed to delay the social policy bill.” I see you ⁦JOLT⁩ ⁦Arati Kreibich⁩ ⁦Anna-Marta Visky⁩ ⁦@NJWFA ⁦CleanWaterAction NJ⁩ 🔥 @NYTimes nytimes.com/2021/10/08/us/…

Pretty reflective of his values. Go ahead and change that D to an R, Rep Josh Gottheimer . You’re doing everything else— and fooling nobody!

Truly amazing that all the focus is on progressives when the names of the five people blocking both bills from passing tonight are right here in black and white -- Gottheimer, Murphy, Rice, Schrader & Case. That's them. They're doing it right in the open.

Yes. BIF+BBB are not written as 2 distinct bills, but interlocking policy. BIF’s climate benefits only unlock if BBB passes. If BBB gutted/dies, we may have just locked in US emissions &thrown away our biggest chance to combat climate change. Stakes are now higher on BBB passing

Notice a trend?
