I challenge the incoming Sherrill administration and the new legislature to reverse course and restore real transparency in NJ government. Heck, why not do some of it in the current lame duck?

NJ needs the Climate Superfund Act, Immigrant Trust Act, the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act and more. Let’s get our ducks in a row and pass them.

Well, okay, with the exception of Wray (appointed by Trump himself)

But as Helen Kennedy makes clear, the people Trump accuses of being in a Deep State conspiracy to rig the 2020 election against him *when he was president* were nowhere near any positions of power, Deep State or otherwise, that would have made that even remotely plausible. It's just fucking insane.

Critical agenda on the climate, democracy, immigrant rights and social justice. I'm in NJ's 7th district, and hoping that our State Senator @troysingletonnj.bsky.social and Assembly members @balvirsingh.bsky.social, and @carolmurphynj.bsky.social are not just on board but leading the way. Yes?

If/when Trump starts a full-on war with Venezuela, that might be a cue for China to move on Taiwan. Dangerous times.

It's time for Schumer to step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people. sign.moveon.org/petitions/sc...

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Why can’t you just ask ChatGPT “are all the citations and quotes in this brief real?” If AI can’t verify that its output is true, what good is it?

I spend as much time on X as I do on Truth Social. Both are extremist hellholes run by ultra rich corrupt deranged narcissists boosting Nazi-inspired slopaganda.

Re: gap betw Trump's huge unpopularity & Dem's smaller advantage in the generic Congressional ballot: But there is no "generic" ballot, it's always a specific race. I would add that Schumer and Jeffries are the uninspiring "generic" faces of the Dems. Give us inspiring candidates and we'll do fine.

That’s a surprisingly average looking toilet for a dictator king. Time for a tech/crypto bro to step up and toss in a few million for a gold one. Possibly in exchange for a pardon.

I've run my business for 3 decades using Apple products & a chunk of my retirement is in Apple stock. Is there a group of activist Apple customers and/or investors trying to stop Apple from bending to Trump? Applying pressure as customers/investors (can then dump stock/stop buying as final step).
