15 years ago, I worked diligently to help pass the Affordable Care Act. As a hospital oncology social worker I saw the tremendous health disparities due to those who were uninsured. One of my patients. Who I will call “Dee”, was a tragic example. Thread🧵1)

The future of our state is at stake. NJ needs a governor who'll prioritize our safety, our economy & our families. Sherrill has the plan & the courage to get it done. She'll invest in our schools, our transportation system & our communities!

Early voting starts 10/25!

Thank you Goldie! As a NJ resident I can vouch for her! While I have not been her constituent, I can attest to her overwhelming popularity in her district. She has won 3 back to back races, beginning with a deep red district. She outperforms every other Democrat on the ballot with her! She’s great!

“Cowards and bootlickers” - he prophetically named the group he would join. I’d add opportunist to the description.

RFK Jr comparing Donald Trump’s supporters to “outright Nazis” and “bootlickers” sounds like a self-own.

ICE thugs pointed a gun at a pregnant U.S. citizen, with her little boy in the back seat, because she dared to film them on a public street. “Are you gonna shoot a pregnant woman?” she cries. “

You just put a gun on me!" And the agent spits back,
"It's your fault I did that."
Her fault.😡

North Carolina Republicans are at it again, redrawing congressional lines mid-decade to guarantee themselves another GOP seat. The new map carves up diverse, competitive communities to weaken Black voters & silence Dem voices, especially in the 1st District, where RepDavis now faces a disadvantage.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅
