This is a thread of memes about Kash Patel’s defense of bestiality sent to me by current and former FBI employees. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🧵 1/

I ran into Lindsay at the movies a week before 9/11. www.nytimes.com/athletic/758...

Looking at you, Kean Jr.

i hope tom kean becomes a synonym in our culture for collecting a paycheck while doing absolutely nothing

He’s never been the best speaker but he sounds more off than usual

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

To flip this seat in November we need to be able to bring together a broad coalition of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. As a former Navy helicopter pilot, healthcare leader, and mom of two, my background uniquely positions me to be able to do exactly that.

Tom Kean Jr. was the deciding vote to take away healthcare from tens of thousands of people in our district. I hear this from people all the time — they can’t afford to pay for their healthcare. We are seeing the reality of that decision now.

I would like this job

Excellent second video by Rabbit Hole, one of my favorite new science shows. Includes a double blind taste test at America's test kitchen!

The science is clear. The stakes are real. AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability. We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy. buff.ly/wX1BQ2t

Tom Kean Jr. voted with Republicans to shield Trump’s tariffs from accountability. Tariffs raise prices for all of us, and he tried to block Congress from even challenging them. All while your family foots the bill.

Checking in from the road on this snowy Saturday!

Did you know there is a Thanksgiving placemat that, if you follow its instructions, will resolve political conflict? The brainchild of Tania Israel! More here: taniaisrael.com/dialogue-flo...

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

In 2012, Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli voted against same-sex marriage. On October 21, 2013, 12 years ago today, gay marriage was legally recognized by the courts. Just a few days ago, Jack's campaign publicly stated its desire to ban same-sex marriage again. Not on my watch.

Jack has been running on cutting healthcare & pensions since the very first day he started trying to be governor nearly 10 years ago. As a career politician, he's said a lot of things to a lot of people, but if there's one thing he's been consistent on, it's his relentless attacks on working people.

Final debate is a wrap! Thank you for tuning in and sending your well wishes — I'm beyond proud to be running to be your next governor, New Jersey.

If this is how Jack treats a proud Navy veteran, imagine what he would do to you. Watch:

The simple things are feeling out of reach for too many people these days. When governor, I'm going to make sure New Jersey is a state where everyone can afford a shot at the American Dream.

Jack's biggest donor was sued for using an algorithm to jack up rents on New Jerseyans across the state. And we're really supposed to believe he's going to make this state more affordable? Get real. gothamist.com/news/real-es...

Hiding the truth.

Hot tip for Jack: Our grid operator is called PJM. Clearly you're Pretty Grossly Misinformed about our utility cost crisis and what it's going to take to fix it.

Come and fly along the San Andreas fault with me! 🧪

Lovely video and article by my former colleague @aatishb.bsky.social. It has all the best things: physics, mythology, and great data vis!

But even if renewable energy weren’t stored, why wouldn’t we use it when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing?

It's go time New Jersey, we're cleared for takeoff 🚁

Such a fun evening in Jersey City for their 65th Annual Puerto Rican Day Parade & Festival. The face paint was the cherry on top!

Jack endorsed "pain" from Trump's tariffs. Explain that to the owners of Saltwater Culture in Point Pleasant or Saturn Pizza in Brick. www.app.com/story/money/...

New Jersey veterans will go hungry because of a bill that Jack Ciattarelli enthusiastically supported. He should be ashamed of himself. newjerseymonitor.com/2025/08/12/n...

Team Mikie's out in force and we're not slowing down any time soon. Sign up for a volunteer shift this weekend: www.mobilize.us/njvictory2025/

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

The Trump trade war keeps dragging down the economy and spiking prices for New Jerseyans. Jack Ciattarelli is all in on the the tariffs and the pain that comes with them. www.axios.com/2025/08/12/c...

Everything you buy is more expensive because of Trump's tariffs. It's about to get worse, and @Jack4NJ has endorsed the “pain.” Nothing says leadership like letting New Jersey families get squeezed to score points with Trump! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Jack voted against same-sex marriage in New Jersey. Jack wants to pack the state Supreme Court with "ultra-conservative" justices. He's too extreme for New Jersey. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

What the actual fuck

"We used to consume fossil fuels to make ourselves power But now we just look to the sun for each kilowatt hour" This is the cutest and most encouraging video I've seen all week. Give it a watch - and share if you agree! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MgK...

If you’re enjoying a weekend down the shore, don’t thank Jack — he voted against relief for New Jerseyans three times after Superstorm Sandy. Who does that?
