GOP candidate for NJ governor Jack Ciatterelli has a 10-point "Garden State Affordability Agenda". Absolutely none of the 10 points are about housing, the biggest expense in the lives of most New Jerseyans. 🤔 www.nj.com/politics/202...
Can anyone make it cheaper to live in N.J.? Sherrill and Ciattarelli make their case.
The candidates for governor battle over property taxes, school funding and energy costs as polls show affordability is a top voter concern ahead of November election.

If neo-Nazis were to seize a highly armed, massively funded national security agency it would be one of the worst things in American history, a scandal almost beyond compare. Well, they have. They’re not even hiding it. Maybe we should react accordingly instead of conducting their cover-up for them

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
