Not feeling great this morning, kind of low in energy, but work called.
I wrote to my State Senator Linda Greenstein, currently Assistant Majority Leader, requesting that NJ join the part of WHO which attends to outbreak alerts. Only sovereign nations can have full membership, but states and New York City have joined this section of WHO so as to have early warnings.
Then it was a note to the great Daily Beans podcast, usually excellent on research, who fell down this morning on Talarico.
He's running for Senate from Texas, in a Democratic primary against the great Jasmine Crockett. But, big but, he's been taking GOP pac funds, and lied about it. His campaign says he's running as a Democrat but not allied to the party (!)
He's a potential Sinema or Fetterman, and they have not understood this yet. Talking about him as if he's the second coming. No, he's just another mediocre white male Republican plant, getting too much attention. Well, now they know.
And then I signed on to ACLU to add to the names they're taking to the April 1 (no joke) case they're arguing before SCOTUS It's in defence of birthright citizenship, which T***p has been attacking since Day One.
Anyway all this happened before I showered and cut my hair. I'm feeling better on all counts now. Apologies to readers outside the US for this domestic policy-heavy post.
Knit on
