21 years as a lawyer and 22 years as a stand-up comedian are great skills for a 2026 candidate. Platitudes, progressive word salads and hiding behind endorsements are relics of a failed politics for Dems. Vote for J-L in NJ-11

These are mostly women & DON’T have a playbook. This is a loose structure made up of church ladies, day care workers, bridge players, hockey moms, pickleball competitors, book club members who care.

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

I am watching protestors disarm smoke bombs by deploying a lead person to place a neon cone over the gas, another person to run over and pour in a liquid, and a last person to cap the hole in the cone, which diffuses the gas immediately.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Journalists aren’t supposed to report “both sides.”
They are supposed to report the truth.
DHS is not telling the truth. Stop reporting their lies.

This video shows the victim taking video of ICE with his cell phone. Compare that with the DHS statement alleging the victim confronted ICE with a weapon. We need a credible investigation into this and the Renee Good shooting.

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
