NJ does not have a voter ID law.
Poll workers cannot demand an ID.
DM www.facebook.com/ahdemocratic... if you were asked for ID at Croydon Hall voting site.

Atlantic Highlands Democratic Club - We are hearing reports of poll workers demanding IDs from early voters at Croydon Hall. This is illegal as New Jersey does not have a voter ID law. Please DM us if you have experienced this.

Jack Ciattarelli speaks proudly about his immigrant roots and his family's American Dream here in New Jersey.

But at a church in Elizabeth, he told children of immigrants that their birthright citizenship, their very claim to that same American Dream, isn't valid.

In a functional state, this fascist would be impeached for this post alone.

Abolish ICE.
No troops in our cities.
No kings, no fascists.

Sit down for breakfast but because I have Truth alerts on my phone--professional hazard on the fascism beat--I learn five minutes after the fact that Trump is sending troops to Portland with authorization for "full force." Not a drill, friends.

National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent.

Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it.
Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking.

He's wrong to put flags at half-mast for, essentially, a nobody. Not a prominent public figure of reverence, not an elected official or high government official of any kind. Hell, might as well lower the flags in Robert Redford's honor today.
