For folks who don't know, @samwang.bsky.social runs the Princeton Election Consortium, which calculates various things about US presidential elections. I've followed his writings for more than a decade now. We could really use a thoughtful person who values data in congress. Please support Sam!

This is not complicated.

Defense experts back Anthropic in letter to Congress, slam DOD for setting 'dangerous precedent' Former defense and intelligence officials and policy experts are urging Congress to investigate the Pentagon's labeling of Anthropic as a supply chain risk.

A bipartisan coalition is raising the alarm on the Trump administration's threats to penalize Anthropic for declining to remove safeguards against mass domestic surveillance, and points to the public’s wide support for such safeguards. We're proud to support the coalition:

I didn’t think it could be worse than a do-nothing Congress. But actively coming to the aid of a pointless, destabilizing war…it’s time for new leadership.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard

FYI: This is what leadership looks like.
