Wow.

Juan Lamas Aguilar has been held at the Torrance County Detention Facility since July 10. He has now spent over 5 months separated from his family and is missing holidays, birthdays, and other precious milestones he will never get back. Read his story: www.aclu-nm.org/news/a-new-m...

Why we fought hard in the New Jersey grassroots to put Andy Kim in the Senate seat.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

EXCEPTIONS: If you're a member of a federally-recognized Native American tribe or are an Alaska Native, you can enroll year-round. Also, if you're eligible for either Medicaid or CHIP, you can enroll in those programs year-round.

The House is expected to vote this week on Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to make providing trans youth with gender-affirming care punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Life-saving health care is on the line. Tell your members to reject this bill NOW. action.aclu.org/send-message...

There are a lot of people on Senator Andy Kim's zoom call right now about fighting to end corrruption in New Jersey. And that's because a lot of people are really tired of party boss politics work in NJ.

The affection in the New Jersey grassroots for Tom Malinowski, Andy Kim, and Mikie Sherrill can't be underestimated. Their 2018 campaigns were where many activists started out. There is still a camaraderie to this day. It's also why Andy Kim beat Tammy Murphy. x.com/wildstein/st...

Seen a few people saying "these sales aren't bad for publishing in 2025." No. They are. Publishing is contextual. 1,200 sales in first week for a debut literary novel with a modest advance? Amazing. For a high $$$ non-fiction book that got wall-to-wall media coverage? Abysmal.

There are marshmallows in my house, and I have spent today failing the marshmallow test over and over again.

NEWS: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been RELEASED from ICE custody following today's order from a federal judge

Andy Kim just made crystal clear that he is still willing to take on the same Democratic Party politicians who tried to block him from running for U.S. Senate. He released a video announcing he will try to oust Camden County's Democratic chairman, Senator James Beach.

I cannot begin to explain how exciting this is for New Jersey. Or how needed. x.com/AndyKimNJ/st...

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Kudos @sabrinacorlette.bsky.social for catching ANOTHER terrible provision of the #CrapoBill (as I'm calling it) which I somehow missed: The $1,000/$1,500 HSA funds would only go to adults, which means a couple w/3 kids would only get $2K - $3K instead of $5K - $7.5K in help.

She should have never been appointed.

#DemVoice1 Why so quickly did we hire a firefighter w/a history of violating his restraining order? Bloomfield hired him, and by the time we knew, he'd been on the payroll 7 days. The town attorney shut down testimony. See the videos in the Substack bloomfieldchronicles.substack.com/p/evidence-i...

We're having real primaries in NJ now, and the energy is amazing. Today I got to see Jamie Raskin do an event with Tom Malinowski in the special election for NJ-11's Congressional seat. . George Conway (@gtconway.bsky.social )and JoJo from Jerz (@jojofromjerz.bsky.social) were in the audience.

We do not have nearly enough government watchdogs in New Jersey.

there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

The Senator Andy Kim endorsed candidate just stomped the Governor Murphy endorsed candidate and that simply delights me.

First poll out in the NJ-11 race to fill Governor-elect @MikieSherrill's seat in the House. Tom Malinowski leads with 28% Brendan Gill has 12%. Analilia Mejia and Lt. Gov Tahesha Way have 5% My prediction is that Mejia and Way will improve in future polls. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/mal...

A group of New Jersey state senators, lead by Senate President Nick Scutari and assisted by James Beach and John McKeon (my state senator) embarrassed themselves on the national stage. They are forcing a bill to make sure political corruption can't be investigated. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/n...

THIS:

I like how Scutari is on the edge of the picture acting all ominously like what’cha gonna do, be MORE anti-open government

Which will we get first? Trump's MRI results or the Epstein files? www.cnn.com/2025/12/01/p...

Just...please leave already, Alina Habba. It's all part of defending that constitution you swore to uphold. And New Jersey deserves better. www.cnn.com/2025/12/01/p...

We are now a nation led by kleptocrats who put their own self-enrichment ahead of what is best for the United States and the rest of the world. To say that this is a shameful moment in our nation’s history does not begin to cover it. We are now no better than a banana republic pay-to-play regime.

NJ Residents: Sen. Scutari is rushing S4924 that will weaken transparency & accountability by gutting the office of the comptroller. Please call 732-827-7480 & email [email protected]. Let him know we need more accountability and transparency. @nj50501.bsky.social @lizziekfoley.bsky.social

Around half of #ACA enrollees are people who are self-employed. The other half mostly work for small businesses which don't provide healthcare coverage for their employees. The ACA is VITAL to small businesses.

Psst… he means that poker is considered a masculinity display, as is right wing politics, so they don’t seem to go together. Like if Mamdani drove an F150, or was really into crypto, or Call of Duty.

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence--It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/what-pam-b...

I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay. When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

🚨 Initially I did not grant this the bandwidth it warranted. They have my attention now. 1/2

Can someone explain to me why it takes 30 days to release the Epstein files, when a few months ago they didn’t even exist?

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The Montclair School funding referendum has attracted its first lawsuit even before the vote, with the plaintiffs arguing (correctly, I think) that the clear language of the questions is asking voters to have a referendum, rather than approving money.
