These are the people helping write the story of how we defend democracy, defeat corruption, and bring about new freedom and opportunity for all Americans, and the first chapter begins right here in New Jersey. (2/3)

Join me in saying thank you to the media orgs that refused to sign Hegseth’s censorship ultimatum. Tomorrow these outlets will be forced to pack up their things and vacate the Pentagon, leaving only one (OAN) in the briefing room. We need courage to stand up for our Constitution. (1/3)

Phillipsburg is a town full of extraordinary people who turn their love for the community into progress. Warren County is growing, but we need the right leaders. Let’s support Kennedy, Clark, Fey, and Wanisko. I was glad to make calls at a phone bank to elect them and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social.

If we come together this election, New Jersey can be the light that leads America out of this darkness and toward the future we deserve. (3/3)

Check in with five friends or family members and make sure they’re registered to vote. While it’s so easy to feel powerless these days, we now have the power to speak with one voice against Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda by electing @mikiesherrill.bsky.social. (2/3)

Today’s the last day to register to vote in the November election, and I have an important ask for anyone concerned with the chaos we see in our country: (1/3)

Vance: “Did he accept $50,000? Honestly George, I don’t know the answer to that question.”

If that’s the best talking point that White House lawyers could come up with to prep the VP for a Sunday show, I think we know what the real answer is. Release the Homan tape.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 2d

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

The problem that Speaker Johnson is trying to fix is that he thinks too many Americans have health care. That’s why he thinks gutting Medicaid and ACA subsidies means “fixing healthcare.”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Mike Johnson: "Republicans are the party that are fixing healthcare. We just demonstrated that in the one big beautiful bill."

A reminder that Russell Vought previously said he wanted Gov workers “to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains…We want to put them in trauma.”

Many might not know this, but we just voted in Senate to finally repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq. It feels long ago, but Iraq War did so much damage in breaking our politics and global leadership that contributed to the complete mess we are in now.

A person like that has no business anywhere near the Governor's office. We need someone who will fight back for the people of New Jersey, not shower the President with straight A's as he tramples over our state. (9/9)

Jack Ciattarelli looks at nine months of corruption, chaos, and economic pain and comes away begging for more. (8/9)

And we haven’t even gotten to the illegal deployment of the military against our own people, turning our servicemembers on fellow Americans he calls an “enemy from within.” (7/9)

How about the historic corruption and profiting off the Oval Office? Jack Ciattarelli thinks it deserves an “A”. (6/9)

And how those tariffs have hit New Jersey’s small businesses, forcing many to raise prices and take desperate measures just to keep their doors open? (5/9)

Or how about slapping on tariffs that wreck the global economy and drive up prices on everything from groceries to electronics? (4/9)

Does planning to use our joint military base to carry out an inhumane immigration agenda deserve an “A”? (3/9)

Does cutting $16 billion in funding for the Gateway Tunnel, and putting at risk the thousands of jobs and economic opportunities that come with it, really earn you an “A”? (2/9)

At last night's debate, Jack Ciattarelli claimed that Trump's second term is worthy of an "A" grade.

Really?

An “A” for shutting down the government because Trump doesn’t want to help millions of Americans afford health care. What else? (1/9)

We deserve better than the doormat. With just four weeks left in this race, let’s knock on doors, make some calls, and show up to elect Mikie Sherrill as our next Governor. (3/3)

On the other hand, Jack Ciattarelli only serves one person: Donald Trump. Whenever he's given the chance, Jack is clear that he'll be less of a Governor fighting for our families and more of a doormat for the President to walk over and hurt our state. (2/3)
